Although Bang Salon and Aura Spa have been open for a couple of weeks at their newest location in the Navy Yard, they celebrated officially last night with champagne, hors d’oeuvres and goody bags. It was a very fun event, but it was also a reminder of how far our neighborhood has come.

Seeing the gleaming retro-Sixties Bang Salon, with its picture windows showing the passers-by promises of great hair, and then sneaking to the petite, serene back rooms at Aura Spa where all the beautification, hair-tugging and knot-pressing happens, it’s hard to recall a time where that particular area off M Street SE would have so many passers-by after dark in winter. The stream of good-looking, body-conscious people going up and down the spiral staircase –seemingly a Bang/Vida Fitness architectural fixture– look like they have always inhabited the building that was still under construction less than a year ago.

The times, they are a-changing. Only that now, they are a lot better looking, all the way around.

If you go:

Bang Salon/Aura Spa
