Hijama near McLean, VA

Getting here from McLean

From McLean the practice is about 15.2 miles away, roughly 24 minutes by car.

From the middle of McLean the route is Dolley Madison Boulevard (Route 123) to the Capital Beltway (I-495), a short stretch south past Tysons Corner Center, then I-66 west for about eight and a half miles. Leave at the Fairfax County Parkway / Fair Lakes exit, and you are a couple of minutes from the building. If you live up towards Great Falls Park, add a few minutes.

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. The Beltway around Tysons is the slow part at peak times. I-66 west has express toll lanes; the regular lanes are free and are fine outside rush hour.

Why it suits McLean

McLean has plenty of spas, and some offer cupping as one treatment among many. If what you want is hijama, done as a Sunnah practice with wet cupping and a practitioner of the same gender as you, in a private room, Fair Lakes is a short hop out past Tysons. People often ask how long the marks last; we have written that up below, so you can plan around anything you have on that week.

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.
