Jessica’s Palm Reading

Do not go. If I could give 0 stars I would. I went for a reading for my past, present, and future, she gave me my past that was completely wrong and then wouldn’t give me my future. I asked about my present and she said she already told me so I asked her to tell me again (because she never mentioned my present) and she said I wasn’t listening but she knew what she said. The whole time she was trying to bargain different prices acting like she was giving me deals for things I didn’t even want. She is a complete scam.

Absolutely awful! When I came in she was working on another client and got up mid reading to answer the door for me. When she opened the door her dog jumped all over me. She went back to reading the client’s hand, then got another phone call then went off to talk on the phone for over 5 minutes mid reading! The man was about to leave then, she acted like she cared and finished the reading half ass-​ly. I should have left but wanted to do it, since it’s been awhile. I paid her $ 10, although her sign says $ 5, and she gave me a reading for about a minute (literally a minute and didn’t even touch my hand), then tried to up sale for some spiritual cleansing midway through. When I told her I wasn’t interested she finished up my reading and told me to leave. I asked if I could wash my hands since I had to move her dog, but she refused. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL you will be scammed and they do not care about your reading. Her readings take place in a leaving room where it smells like cigarette smoke and here relatives are in the other rooms yelling at each other. WILL NEVER GET MY PALM READ HERE. I know it is bullshit but at least put some effort into! Wish I could give this place a zero

Disregarding all the negativity below… I had a great experience with her. I recommend going to her. She made me feel special and brought up things I wasn’t even thinking about. She was kind and warm. I felt very comfortable with her. She had a cute little dog in her office and I love when people do that. If you don’t believe in psychics hint: don’t go! She wasn’t too vague but also didn’t harp on details. I loved the way it went. I left with goods and positive energy.

Literally a THIEF. Not only does she overcharge you, she will actually steal your stuff.
I went in jokingly with two shopping bags and after being charged $ 20 for two palm readings (should have been $ 10) left. We walked right back in after we realized we left our bags and after saying «we think we left» she abruptly said «no bags in there» and tried to kick us out. It was after 20 minutes of arguing that she lied and said her grandfather (who she had previously said was 85, sick, and asleep) thought they were his.
DO NOT GO HERE. SHE IS AWFUL AND IS A SWINDLER.

RUN!!! Total bullshit. Scamer tries to up you to addition «cleansing services. $ 30 lesson to avoid this phony like the plague

Awful. If I’d wifi in the US then I’d have Unilocaled her and avoided but I didn’t and myself and a friend fancied a laugh.
I think Jessica is the one laughing. Laughing all the way to the bank. Two minute tarot reading, $ 20, not even an attempt to properly read cards.
Avoid like the plague.

Like everyone else says– THE WORST!!! She advertises $ 5 palm readings and charges $ 10. Just rambles out random, generic crap. She didn’t even have exact change and tried to make change with nickels, but wouldn’t change the price even though I expressed major dissatisfaction with the reading.

The WORST person ever. She just BSed a bunch of things and and asked me to have another service for $ 150 in order for us to continue. I said I can’t do another one and she asked me to leave. She’s a crazy bitch. DO NOT GO!

I WISH I COULD 0 STARS the only reason I give her 1 is because she gave us our money back. Horrible, quick, rude service. Got it done with a friend, she told us the SAME things. We demanded our money back because she SCAMMED US. She refunded us fully thank god

I have never written a review before but after my experience with Jessica, I felt that I needed to share to warn people. I went there without researching her as I was concerned about something in my life. Not only did I have to wait a bit and I overheard her up selling the woman before me, when I walked in, her prices were different than what was advertised. The palm reading was quick and she was trying to up sell me by stating I had bad energy around me. Lastly, when I told her I didn’t have cash, she requested that if I buy her a pack of cigarettes, she won’t charge me anything. So unprofessional and seems very fake. I do not recommend her.

I wish I could give zero stars. my friend and I went here on a whim while walking through Georgetown. We knocked on the glass door several times before a lady holding a cigarette finally arrived. She pointed at her prices which were not the same as the $ 5 palm reading listed outside. She stated the $ 5 was for a brief palm reading not thorough. I had to check in my purse to make sure I had enough cash for two palm readings as she stated she didn’t accept credit cards. Good thing she knew I didn’t have much money on me or she probably would have tried to sell me more.
I went first and sat across from her in a dark room. I put my palm on the table and she immediately started speaking. I’m not sure how she could even see my palm from where she was sitting cause I couldn’t even see it myself in the dark room. She spoke for 2 min straight about love, work, and health, the basics. She then stated this concludes your reading thank you and good luck. Wow that was quick, I wonder what the $ 5 reading would have been.
My friend takes a seat next, he had a few questions after his 2 minute blind palm reading such as how long did she mean by living a long life? Would he get divorced? She answered the questions but was definitely annoyed. After the third question she stated, sir I already answered that question your reading is complete, Goodluck. We were both in shock at how rude and cold she was. I handed her $ 20 and walked out smelling of smoke.
This is only the 2^nd Unilocal review I’ve ever written, but she was so rude and such a con artist I had to warn others. I think most people go on a whim since it’s in a popular walking area, but if you want a real reading dont come here! Its basically a palm reading in the dark for 2 min by a rude lady.

2 friends were visiting me and we stopped by for the $ 5 palm reading. I think she spoke to each of us for about 4 minutes. Jessica does not take your palm but reads your lines from your palm laid on the table. We were entertained and thought some of her readings seemed valid, but for the most part I am someone who does this for entertainment. The place is not pristine and Jessica is not a very bubbly personality, but we enjoyed the memory.

Negative stars!!! Should go out of business. Horrible experience! Do not go! $ 20 for 2 minutes of tarot reading. Rudist people I’ve met! Rip off!!!

I met with Sophia. I spent $ 20.00 for about 10 minutes. I went in for fun and didn’t anticipate the charm and kindness with which she delivered her reading. Whether or not I believe in the things she said, she was very compassionate and insightful. Overall, it was a fun and insightful experience!

I walked in and she seemed bothered that I even was there. She pointed to a sign in her living room and didn’t really explain the prices (again, seemed distracted). The room was dim and she did not even examine my palms, but said she was «reading my energy.» For $ 20 she took less time than the $ 5 readers in Dupont or Adams Morgan. She asked me where I lived and when I told her, she told me I could go on a payment plan to pay off $ 200 for her to clean my chakras. While it was fun, it was not worth the $ 20 for her to just ask me for more money in the dark. Insulting.

I went with 3 other friends and we had a really, really good experience. For ¾ of us, we felt like she was DEAD on. So much so that she even knew that my friend had seen a psychic at a certain age and recalled what they told her and explained that her path and aura had changed.
I even went up to hand her money for us and she already had the appropriate amount of change ready for what I was about to giver her! When I was done, I felt like she almost knocked the wind out of me and I felt like a weight had been lifted off of me. I really do intend to go back in a few months to see what else I can find out. Jessica really, truly has a talent.

Total rip off. Do not go here. They suck. I concur with all previous reviews. I had a similar to exact experience as all previous reviewers.

I wish I could give zero stars.
I walked in on a whim, felt it was fate. I went up the stairs to a locked glass door and was told to wait downstairs. Which I did. Patiently. For 40 minutes. The cleaning guy told me she was doing her hair. I saw cats, children, cleaning dude & no psychic. I called her after waiting for nearly an hour, and was brusquely told she was too busy and I could come back.
I guess I’m glad that I didn’t see her, since apparently she’s a crook, but seriously-​have the courtesy to tell me up front, and not waste an hour of my time.
Stupid bitch.

Total con job.
I’m a beginning tarot reader myself. I’ve gone to other tarot readers, including Mrs. Nathalie, attended meetings of the D.C. Tarot Society, hang out at psychic stores and have done some research. Until now every psychic I’ve encountered — paid and unpaid — has believed in what they were doing and genuinely wanted to help and was waaaaay more kosher than this chick.
I like to get an occasional paid reading to see how other people interpret the cards, what it takes to go pro, etc,. and popped over on a whim.
I didn’t find her rude. She was smoking, but she made a point of putting it out before I sat down and sprayed. She offered me water. I got the sense that maybe she lived here. There was a cat and a dog and family members walking around. I’ve never encountered that before.
Her tarot price was flat $ 20. $ 20 for a long, in-​depth reading would be a steal. She asks what I want and I say a tarot reading. She tells me that for the same money I should do a psychic reading since that’s her specialty and I’ll get more out of it. I said, «OK, it’s just that I’m a novice tarot reader myself and I like to see how other people work.» She goes ahead with the psychic reading.
For $ 20, it was about 5 minutes of her telling me vague details. Mostly accurate, but so vague they had to be. She tells me to make a wish and to not make it about money. Well what are they alternatives? Love and health, right? And I’m young and female, so of course I chose love. So she knew I had wished for love and she went with it. She told me that someone has hurt me in my past and that it messed up my destiny, that I’m off my life track, that something happened in my childhood that also has put a damper on all of my later relationships. She said she saw NY, Chicago and San Francisco. Sure, accurate. I have ties to all 3. But what native-​born American isn’t going to be able to find some type of connection in their life to three of the largest cities in America? She also told me that I’m very psychic… after me telling her I read tarot cards.
She told me I have issues trusting people. That stuck out, since I’ve been concluding the same thing of late. She told me that in romantic situations I experience the same thing over and over, the same kind of disappointment. Also true. I would be willing to admit that she’s highly intuitive with good deductive reasoning skills.
She then tells me that my chakras are out of alignment, my heart chakra is damaged, that my aura is missing a color, and that there’s no way to fix the problem without outside intervention. She said that I’ve undergone a spiritual death, that it’s like the spiritual equivalent of having stage 4 cancer. I need to take a crystal and hold it over my heart for 15 minutes a day for 3 days, and meanwhile she’s going to meditate on it as well, and her results are guaranteed. Other people charge thousands of dollars, but she does it for $ 300, and for me she’ll do it for the special price of $ 150 and include the reading for free.
Trying to avoid being awkward or to insult her — just in case she actually believes what she’s saying — by indicating that I think crystal healing and chakra alignment are a bunch of crap, and that if I didn’t I’d be seeing a true reiki master because I happen to know one, and that it certainly wouldn’t take holding a crystal for 15 minutes for 3 days to fix a problem as huge as the one she claims I’m having, I state that I don’t have that kind of money.
So she tries to haggle with me. So I say I don’t have the money on me right now. She asks if I have a credit card, swearing she’s not just trying to sell me anything. Funny. It was cash only when I wanted to pay for the reading and had to run to an ATM, but now she takes credit cards.
She was relentless. But wouldn’t you hate to never meet your soul mate? He’s in your life now but your negative energy is blocking him. Aren’t you willing to spend this money on yourself? Finally she gives up, but tells me that she’s worried for me, and that when I do get the money I should hurry back quick because I’m running out of time. I’m pretty sure she called me her «dear dead Emily.» That’s nice, having someone tell you to your face that you’re dead.
She made me feel terrible, even though I knew she was full of it. But I don’t know if I was more upset by what she said to me or by the fact that I paid her $ 20 to say it, and walked out without getting the tarot reading — or any kind of extensive reading — that I had come for. I didn’t even get to ask questions, and I had some specific ones in mind that she didn’t answer. Good tarot readings are geared at providing life solutions, guidance on how to resolve an issue, and they never say «Pay the psychic to fix it for you.» In tarot we learn that we have to make our own choices and continue on our own journey, and that everyone is his/​her own savior. This «psychic reading» crap was insulting.

Rude is right. You are greeted with hostility. This threw me off so I went ahead and thoughtlessly placed my umbrella on her ‘new velvet chair’ and was accosted for as much. So, after she hung up the phone, I Proceeded to ask why the sign outside for a $ 5 tarot reading was inconsistent with the sign inside which said it was $ 10. She said the one outside referred to a character reading and ‘meant nothing.’
So, I gave her $ 10. Her cordless landline was in the middle of us, meaning between my hand and her view of my palm.
She made a few good general points, but seemed bored and uninterested in general. She also picked up the phone during our reading to check who it was… and proceeded to let it ring and leave it there… on the palm reading table.
She did go on and on about how unhappy I am with my love life… which I found interesting because I’m happy with my husband.
She recommended a 3-​day sort of cleanse for me… to replace my ‘two colors missing from my aura.’ (Which colors? How many colors are there? To be able to ask questions or have further explanation offered would have been nice.) I outright said I wasn’t interested in paying for it (100-​something dollars?) to which she responded that she didn’t charge for her services, just the materials. Well, I guess I shoulda asked to see the goods then… and if you aim on selling something at a high price, well try to sell me on it… what is it exactly, how does it help the problem you left unexplained, etc.
I just don’t get why a person in this business insists on being both rude and negative… I hope more people Unilocal this place before wasting their time and money. Whether you’re doing a reading out of sheer curiosity, kicks, or you take it seriously, I’m sure there’s a better alternative out there than this joint.
