About Blu Water Day Spa & Salon
With awards and accolades cascading across the walls, Blu Water Day Spa’s owner Julie Nguyen had a lot of expectations to make her dreams of incorporating a hair salon into her current award winning spa design. Julie envisioned the space, which was occupied by a large retail and a portion of the nail area transformed; to flow organically into an oasis. The dream of Blu Water Day Spa and Salon came to fruition in December 2012. Blu Water Day Spa and Salon is built upon the concept of blending health, wellness and natural beauty alongside the elements of nature.
Owner Julie Nguyen’s mission is to expose and heighten the expertise of other artists like herself; in hair, nails, massage and esthetics. She created Blu Water Day Spa to blend Asian and Indian culture with a commitment to provide a serene escape for guests in need of complete spa services. By combining the elements of nature, a reflection of her vision is seen throughout the 4,500 square foot space. Among the many accolades and milestones, Blu Water Day Spa was rated “Best New Spa in Maryland” by Washingtonian Magazine in 2009.
As guests enter, their senses are stimulated with organic lavender and chamomile. The calming orchid filled retail and reception area opens to a luxurious custom floor to ceiling waterfall displaying Blu Water’s Logo as soft tranquil melodies play to enhance the relaxing feel. Guests are offered a beverage upon checking in and whisked away into secluded changing area to prepare for their services. Behind frosted double glass doors the moss colored tiled pathway guides you to the luxurious nail lounge with Apothecary aroma bar. In Blu Water’s reception and Boutique area our guests can sample and purchase Skinceuticals, Environ or Eminence skincare, Jane Iredale Mineral Make-up, Davines Hair Care, DevaCurl products, luxurious body treatments, candles and diffusers from Archipelago Botanicals and beautiful jewelry and accessories from around the world.
Nestled behind the reception waterfall is a grand turquoise curved divan that invites guests to sit and relax while waiting to enter the “Quiet Area”. Guests are guided through the dim and tranquil hallway lit with bamboo glass sconces into the Meditation room to await their spa services. Service rooms in the spa are each named after the five elements of nature Fire, Water, Earth, Metal and Air.
The foyer entry separated by natural hand laid pebbles direct guest to a second custom frosted glass door leading to the salon. Immediately, your eyes are drawn upward to the vaulted ceilings and warm earth tones in the hand painted faux walls.
The conception of Blu Water’s salon and the choice of Davines exclusive product line is aligned with Blu Water’s mission statement: “Commitment to our guests is immersed in an environment dedicated to the well being and safety of each and every guest.” Davines’ mission of ”Having the freedom to create the best products with attention and respect for our environment, using high grade, natural ingredients, and applying scientific rigor to every product to guarantee our customers safety.”
Located in the Rockville/Kensington area in Maryland (minutes away from Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Gaithersburg).

Response from Blu Water Day Spa & Salon
It is with great regret that we were unable to assist Diana S. who wrote the review about her waxing experience upon sensitive skin. Our standard protocol prior to any waxing procedure involves a consultation regarding the skin, product usage that may cause skin to react, or any prior reactions the guest may have experienced in the past. This consultation allows the technician the option of how to best proceed. Unfortunately we did not receive communication from her regarding her concern about her skin and the reaction she was having in a timely manner. We have since revamped our step by step response system to better communicate to our guests in a timely manner - especially when the reaction could have been tended to. We have issued our sincere apologies to Diana, provided her with a full refund including the gratuity. We hope someday Diana will give us the opportunity to provide service to her. As the visionary of Blu Water Day Spa, Julie Nguyen is passionate about providing our guests with service that exceeds their expectations. It is our quest to continue to grow and better ourselves in providing service and guest satisfaction. Blissfully, Teresa Hinton Vice President, Operations Blu Water Day Spa
