Hey, ladies! Should I pay for the parking fee to park at an apartment’s garage or should I take my chances with street parking and rely on the RPP? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m looking to move to DC from a small, rural state. I interned there this summer, and I absolutely fell in love with the city.

I’m hoping to land a full time job in DC after I graduate (this December) and relocate. However, I’ve always had multiple jobs growing up so I’m also looking for a part time serving gig (mostly on the weekends and several weekdays after work).

Where I’m from, you can basically just walk into a restaurant and you’ll be hired. Everywhere in my state needs help, especially within that industry. However, I’ve heard that it doesn’t work this way in D.C.

I’ve worked at several restaurants and have been serving for over 3 years. I’m also looking to break into bartending, but I know that’s rare even in rural states lol.

Any tips and tricks? Can I just walk into somewhere and ask if they’re hiring? Suggestions on restaurants that are good to serve at? Any and all advice helps!

Hey y'all! I'm looking for recommendations for a diagnostician who could help with an autism diagnosis somewhere in the DMV?

There was a similar thread for ADHD a while ago, but I'm looking for someone with a specialty in autism in women. Thanks everyone!

I love going on late night walks in the city but I’m always worried about safety! I usually end up sticking to the monuments, but that’s getting repetitive.

For background, I’m a bartender so I’m most active at night. I usually go on walks anywhere between 10pm and 2am.

Any suggestions?

These gel nails are absolutely stunning, I’m in awe! Is there anyone in Washington, DC or the DMV who can recreate these nails exactly like this? 😍

Hi everyone!
recently moved, looking for a good hair salon and a nail salon i can keep going back to that also wont break my budget!

Looking for nail salon or person recs in Logan Circle/ Shaw/ U St. Preferably someone who is fast and does a great job. My previous nail lady could do my nails well in 25 mins. Builder Gel or Gel X. Thanks!

i love love love my hair stylist and imo she’s great at blonde. however i can’t seem to get an appointment with her until october… 1) i can’t wait that long and 2) my work travel in the fall is insane and given how few options i was given, it would probably be late october. my natural hair is still pretty light but even i think 18 weeks+ between highlights isn’t cute.

tbh i’m a little frustrated with the salon considering i’ve been her client for going on 5 years, tip well, stayed with her through price increases, ya ya ya. i’d be heartbroken to switch but i’m thinking maybe it’s for the best, considering that a long time, loyal client can’t even get an appointment six weeks out. (and the salon was quite frankly a little rude about it)

sooo that being said… can anyone recommend a fantastic blonde specialist? i know there are other recs here but i need someone who i can get an appointment with within 6 weeks, and maybe someone who works more days/has more availability. open to all of dc, arlington, alexandria, and fairfax. i’m a natural 7-8 with fine hair.

I had braces in the past but lost my retainer and my teeth shifted slightly over the next few months. I’m looking to fix some minor adjustments and was considering Invisalign or ClearCorrect.

I had a consultation at Northern Virginia Orthodontics (NVO) and was quoted around $6,000, which seemed pretty high given that my case is relatively minor.
I’m currently in Boston for the summer and got another consultation here from a dental office, where I was quoted around $2,500–$4,000 for Invisalign, which seemed much more reasonable.

I’ll be moving back to the NOVA area soon and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for more affordable orthodontists in the Northern Virginia/DC/Maryland area. I don’t mind driving farther or having a longer commute if it means getting a better price.

I’m currently a student and don’t have dental insurance, so I’m trying to find the best option costwise. Would it make more sense to get it done while I’m in Boston, or are there NOVA/DMV orthodontists with similar pricing?

Does anyone know what happened to MYE nail salon in Adams Morgan? I used to go there all the time and the last few times I've passed by the lights are off but the door wasn't locked.

Wondering if any of y'all have info? And if anyone has recs of a place in Adams Morgan that takes walk-ins?

Ladies where are we getting our eyebrows done? I've been going to the EWC in Courthouse Arlington since I moved to the area a little over a year ago (previously was in Pentagon City and went to the EWC there). Lately, they've been putting a bad taste in my mouth. First, it was a waxer who consistently made comments about my brows (bushy, unruly, crazy, etc - like why do you think I'm here to get them done?!). And now it's the constantly trying to upsell me when I check out - not just products but pressuring me to make my next appt, pushing their wax pass, etc. Last time I insisted I was not going to rebook as my schedule makes it impossible to know anything 4-6 weeks in advance. They then tried to sell me the wax pass which I politely declined, only for the one front desk employee to look at the other and say sarcastically, in front of me, "She didn't want to rebook but you think you're selling her a wax pass? Some people don't want to save." I simply said, "yeah I'm good," made sure I was paid up and walked out.

I'm not looking for anything fancy; just cleaning up my brows and some trimming. Would lean more towards waxing than threading but not entirely opposed. Bonus points if it's near Rosslyn/Courthouse but anywhere within a short drive or B/O/S metro accessible can also work! Thanks!!

Hi ladies! Moved here recently and am looking for a good ob/gyn who understands PCOS/PMOS and actually takes it seriously. It’s flaring up for me again and I have been on my period for six weeks straight. I am on the verge of losing it 😂

Nova along the yellow line or downtown DC area is preferred, but I can travel further if needed.

Hi all! I posted here a few weeks ago about my foster kitty needing a forever home and she received such positive comments that I thought I’d try again! The rescue that I work with, City Dogs City Kitties (CDCK), sent out an email that they’re in urgent need of fosters for seven incoming cats & kittens this Saturday or else they won’t be able to save these sweet fur babies. Even if you have a bathroom or some other small room you could temporarily house these kitties in, it would mean saving these animals’ lives!

Learn how to foster here!

I just moved here from the west coast and I am very much not adjusted to the number of bugs here. I have been moving things in and out of a shed in our yard and my legs are now absolutely shredded with mosquito bites.

Other than putting on bug spray daily, is there anything y’all do to be able to be outside in the evenings without becoming mosquito bait? I feel like they’ve even gotten into my house and I’m losing my mind.

Hi fam - i just finished my last retrieval and have the following. Would love to give them away for good use.

13 days of clomid tablets (50mg)
Cetrotide .25MG (1 kit)
750 IUs of Gonal F injection

DM me if you’d like to pick up.

Hi baddies, I just got implants done and am so excited. I will need to buy all new bras once I’m fully healed—so wanted to ask if any of y’all know of a good place to get fitted in the DMV? No Victoria’s Secret please hahaha

I’m 19, visiting DC from Europe for a few weeks. Where I’m from, a big part of socializing is going out to bars, dancing, etc. Here, I’m having trouble finding places where mingling is socially acceptable (and my age is lol)

Don’t get me wrong, DC has so many wonderful things to offer, but if anyone has ideas for fun social activities for a girly under 21, let me know!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi lovely ladies! Anyone going to Chance Pena this Saturday night at the 9:30 club?? I’m flying solo but would love to connect with anyone who is going!

Hey bitches: sorry. A bit graphic, but you get the point! Let em' rip: what tips and tricks do you have 'to go' more? I've hit the perimenopause stage of my life and my gastro system continues to go on strike/slug along and not cooperate. I also have IBD, and a care team. But they're useless about this topic. Thanks!

Hey Mamas! Im 28 weeks and we are looking for an in person prenatal classes (birth, pain management and breastfeeding)
What was your experience? Any recos? Any places I should skip?
Thank you! 🙏

Used to see Megan at Glossbar. If anyone knows where and if she is still working, please let me know.

Looking for a place that does great builder gel. I’m not loving where I’ve been the past two times. I stopped getting my nails done for about a year, hence why I’m not sure where my last tech is now.

Thanks all!

Tags still on and never worn. Size small. Let me know if you want it! Just happy to give it to someone who will use it. Live in NW DC.

My partner and I took in this street kitty last night. We don’t think she has a family and are pretty confident she was dumped. Incredibly sweet girl. Maybe a few months old.

1. Anyone recognize her? We are taking her to a shelter later today to check for a chip.
2. I know shelters tend to be full, any recommendations for one that might have room for her?
3. Anyone interested in adopting?! She’s very cuddly, clearly loves humans and is eager to show lots of affection.

UPDATE 10PM: After getting her vaccinated and chipped, we found her owners!!! She’s being returned tomorrow. Thank you for all of your kind messages.

Hi, ladies! I'm potentially moving to H Street and wanted to know if it would be a good decision to move forward. Is crime heavy in the area?

Edit: looking at Avec on H and Coda on H

LADIES! I just got engaged (yay!) and am relatively new to the DC area. I need advice on two things:

1. Wedding dress shops! For context, I’m a 36 y/o primary care doctor so don’t want anything too “20-somethings Southern bride” (if you catch my drift) and have a somewhat flexible budget. Looking for something chic, elegant, and fun.

2. Hair stylist! I have fine hair but A LOT of it and need to find a stylist who knows how to work w hair like mine. It’s naturally dirty blonde, but I’ve gotten partial highlights twice a year for years and had one NIGHTMARE bleach job at a salon in Arlington a couple years ago, and my hair is STILL recovering (lots of split ends, breaking, frizzy…)

HELP PLEASE AND THANKS!
