Hijama near Arlington, VA
Getting here from Arlington
From Arlington the practice is about 18.8 miles away, roughly 31 minutes by car.
From the middle of Arlington the route is Glebe Road to I-66 west, and then I-66 the whole way: almost fifteen miles of it. Leave at the Fairfax County Parkway / Fair Lakes exit, and you are a couple of minutes from the building. From Ballston or Clarendon you are on I-66 within a few minutes; from near the Pentagon, take Route 50 or Glebe Road north to join it.
These are clear-road figures from OpenStreetMap routing, checked in October 2026. Weekday rush hour can stretch them a long way, so check your map on the day, just before you leave. Inside the Beltway, I-66 charges a toll at weekday rush hour to drivers without passengers; outside those hours it is free. Heading west in the late afternoon on a weekday is the slow direction, so an earlier slot, or a weekend one, makes the drive much easier.
Why it suits Arlington
Living close in means plenty of choice for massage and spa treatments, but very little for hijama with wet cupping, a sterile single-use kit, and a practitioner of the same gender as you, in a private room. Half an hour west on I-66, once every three months, is what most people settle into.
When you get to Fair Lakes
The address to put into your phone is 4401 Fair Lakes Ct, Fairfax, VA 22033. We are inside the HAWA Fairfax Community Center, in Room 401a on the fourth floor.
The Fair Lakes exit is the one to watch for: off the interstate, and a minute later you are there. The community center is a low, dark-glass building set back behind trees, with a paved path up to the entrance. There is no clinic sign outside, so look for the building, not a sign.
Parking is free. Use the lot outside the building; park anywhere, no permit is needed. The parking lot, the entrance and the restroom are wheelchair accessible, and there is an elevator up to the fourth floor.
Come a few minutes early. A few screening questions come first, then the session; allow about an hour and a half for brothers and two hours for sisters. What to eat, wear and bring is on the booking page.
Who you will see, and what it costs
A woman practitioner for sisters, a man for brothers. Wet cupping (hijama) is $135, dry cupping $115, with a $55 deposit at booking that comes off the price (prices in full). By appointment only; book here. New to hijama? Start with What is Hijama?

Hijama is a traditional practice and is not a substitute for medical care. If you are on medication, pregnant, or unsure for any reason, speak to your doctor first and say so at intake.
