How the session unfolds
A Wellness Retreat Lounge session pairs infrared sauna therapy with a zero-gravity resting position to create a single, restorative experience. During the 30 minutes, the infrared component delivers a gentle warming effect while the zero-gravity posture reduces strain on joints and muscles, helping you arrive at a quieter, more relaxed state before or after a treatment.
At check-in staff explain the flow and answer questions so you know what to expect. You remain fully clothed or as comfortable for you; the team will confirm positioning and temperature preferences and remain available to adjust the experience to your comfort while you relax for the full 30 minutes.
Safety and suitability details
The Lounge experience is designed as a spa-level relaxation service, not a medical therapy. If you have significant medical concerns, are pregnant, or have cardio-respiratory conditions, consult your healthcare provider before booking and tell our team so we can advise appropriately. The spa will discuss any precautions at check-in.
Staff monitor client comfort and can alter aspects of the session on request. The service is intended to support relaxation and recovery in a wellness context; it is not a diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedure and does not replace professional medical advice or treatment.
How it complements spa services
Clients often use the Lounge immediately before a massage or facial to ease tension and arrive more relaxed for hands-on services, or afterward to prolong a calm, restorative feeling. Studio Chique offers this option to help create a smoother transition into and out of other treatments at the salon.
Because Studio Chique serves Washington commuters and neighborhood residents, the Lounge fits well into short, convenient visits. Flexible early-morning and evening booking options make it easy to add a 30-minute Lounge session priced at $79 before or after work, or as part of a weekend visit to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market.
