8/19/19 After leaving Nancy's Barbershop&Spa,…read more I headed to Puspa Day Spa to get wax done by professionals as the Nancy Barbershop associate told me to do. I met the owner (Puspa Khanal) and her associate (Bhawana Metformin) sitting and talking. I saw the owner getting some henna body art done. Seeing that the henna body art going on Puspa hands arms and feet, I had nothing but time on my hands. This is the first Indian spa I have ever been to, but it had a nice feel to the place. After some time Puspa showed me the waxing room. The waxing chair has had a lot of use, but was the most relaxing chair/tables I have ever been on. I was asked if I wanted to get my legs waxed too. After thinking about for a few seconds, I went with their offer. For five dallors more I was given the option of getting my armpits waxed too. Normally I shave them, but not today. Both Puspa and Bhawana left the room and I took my clothes off to hang them up. I did not have a towel to cover my manhood, but these ladies see naked people every day, well maybe not a handsome stud like myself, but close. I believe Bhawana was the first to open the door and close it. I heard her cackling like a schoolgirl. The song I'm Too Sexy started playing in my head....no,...not really... I started looking around for something to cover my genitals, when Puspa brought in a hand towel. Guess Bhawana is not use to male nudity. I was asked why I was naked and I thought that was a dumb question, but oh well. I explained I am getting my full legs waxed; as well, as my full arms and armpits. I am not going to get wax on my new clothes. The waxing procedure went by quickly since both Puspa and Bhawana were waxing me at the same time. Very rarely have I been waxed by two people and have found it to be less effective than one person doing it. The whole process I felt was rushed and if I come back for another round, I will request just one lady. Both Puspa and Bhawana did a decent job, but too much leftover wax was found on my body. Again I feel one person doing the waxing would have been better. I spent a good amount of time scratching the wax off of me. The waxing clean up are just as import as the removal of the hair. I have seen small patches of hair that was missed. Mishaps happen and I am sure Madame Puspa can redeem herself. I give this place 4 out of 5 stars. I will be back to try out the massage and waxing again. Puspa Day Spa is a charming place as is Madame Puspa. $80 bucks for full legs, full arms and Armpits is great.

I wish I could give this business owner a zero star rating. She is very greedy for money and does…read morenot care about the customer. I was referred to a friend who is doing a full body for $2k. I drove an hour and twenty minutes to get there. She gave me a $2400 same package for full body laser removal, with at least 6 sessions that my friend received. Then I offered her $2000 and reminded her of my friend's name who referred us, but she wasn't loyal to the prize we referenced. Even though we offered her $1k upfront and $1k later, she refused. She wanted $2400 this time, but later agreed to pay $2200 and per session using a credit card. Although today's appointment is the first sitting appointment, there were unexpected things that occurred. I called her to reschedule and she said tomorrow's is fine. However, she mentioned that the face is not covered in the full body, so it will be separate. I reminded her about our deal and she said I forgot to mention it last time. She started arguing and demanded cash payments of $2200, which reminded me that it wasn't what we talked about and the deal. Be aware of these kinds of owners. Since laser hair removal is a common procedure, it's possible that they can cause more harm to your body than good. Luckily, she refused and showed her greediness. Otherwise, I would have been messed up or sick by her unprofessional behavior.

Awful place to go--completely unprofessional and unreliable…read more My first appointment was canceled after I waited over an hour. They kept calling the 3:45 PM clients to come in early because they wanted to close as soon as possible. In the end, they told me they wouldn't be able to see me, even though my appointment was at 3:30 PM and their last appointment online was listed as 3:45 PM. The receptionist did her best to find someone to take me, but no one was willing. Since I live nearby, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I rescheduled and even called the next morning to confirm. I was assured everything was set, but two hours before my 6:00 PM appointment, they called to say the esthetician hadn't shown up for work and no one else would see me. They had all day to let me know. When I explained what had happened the day before, the receptionist said, "That's weird, nobody told me anything," despite the previous receptionist apologizing repeatedly and making notes to ensure I was taken care of. Two canceled appointments in a row, despite confirmations and assurances, show a complete lack of organization and respect for customers' time. There's much better places nearby to go.

Summary: This location charged me $145 to book appointments in advance via Wax Passes, and then…read moreneither honored my appointments nor refunded my cost. Effectively, European Wax Center STOLE $145 from me. Do not go to this location or other locations- the business practices and costumer services are negligent as best, and dishonest/exploitative at worst. Here are the details: this location charged me $145 to prebook 6 wax sessions for my brow and lip. Then, I arrived for my first appointment, and they had no record of ever selling me the appointments in advance via the Wax Passes. I showed them the charge of $228 on my credit card statement to verify the purchase. While they had a record for my $33 bikini line wax and my purchase and $50 purchase of exfoliating products, they had no record of the remaining $145. The manager refused to refund me,and told me to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I got my bikini wax and filed my dispute claim. When I disputed the charge, European Wax Center told the investigators that the company had already provided my 6 brow and 6 lip sessions. These appointments never happened. I did not return after I learned that European Wax Center would not honor my wax passes or refund me. I am currently still in discussions with my credit card company to get the money back. The fact that this location would not honor the appointments I booked, despite showing them the charge on my statement, is unethical, unprofessional, and I will never return to European Wax Center. I will also encourage my contacts to never book with European Wax Center. It's a shame because my actual waxer was very competent; I would return to her if she worked with a different company.

I did not know Kaui Billue when several months ago I booked a 60 minute traditional massage (called…read morea "Thai Euro massage" on Origins Thai Spa's website) with her. I loved the experience so much that I immediately booked the longest session available (90 minutes). I have had two long massages with Kaui, and both have been truly sublime. So much so that I have two future sessions booked now! I will mention a few things about Kaui the person, Kaui the massage therapist, and about the spa. Kaui is an extremely likeable, friendly, and intelligent person who communicates well. An example of how kind and thoughtful Kaui is: after my last massage with her was over, she gave me a box of macadamia nuts covered in chocolate (macadamia nuts are not cheap!) she got on her recent trip to her home state of Hawaii. Kaui really goes the extra mile to please! Kaui's very wonderful qualities as a person would be admirable but they would largely be irrelevant when you want a great massage if Kaui did not deliver on the massage table. I have had massages from multiple people. They all did a fine job. But after my 90 minute massage sessions with Kaui I never felt more relaxed in my life!! Kaui moves over your body at just the right "Goldilocks" speed--not too fast, not to slow--just perfect. Kaui made massage movements I had not experienced before that made me melt into the massage table in sublime relaxed pleasure. Every minute of my massages with Kaui has felt wonderful! When Kaui is working her massage magic on your body she is wise enough to stay silent (except for a very occasional "pressure level OK?" check-in early in the message) so that talk does not distract you from the blissful relaxation you are experiencing under her hands. But if you initiate a conversation Kaui is more than happy to talk. Kaui is wise enough to let you control how long the conversation lasts. A car analogy fits. For me, getting a massage from others has been like driving a Honda Accord--a good experience but nothing really shines. In contrast, getting a massage from Kaui is like the "ultimate driving experience" when driving a top of line BMW. Kaui has provided me with the "ultimate massage experience" (nothing sexual implied; Origins Thai Spa is a totally legitimate place). Origins Thai Spa is exceptional as well. It is in a quiet location in Sterling (not a strip mall or other busy place). The spa is quiet and soothing from the moment step inside. All the receptionists are very friendly. It is very easy to make appointments online. You can have a warm massage table if you want it. After the massage is over, Kaui wipes you down with a warm towel to remove massage oil from your body. Plus a very welcome warm towel for your face at the end that caps off this most relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Kaui even immediately gave me one of the spa's robes when my bladder made me step down the hall for a minute during the massage. Kaui, you have a customer for life. If you want to have the most relaxing massage of your life in a serene location, book an appointment with Kaui today.

Two years ago, my friend recommended me to Heather and I'm so grateful she did because Heather is…read moresuch a sweetheart! Heather was actually the first ever esthetician I came to to get a Brazilian wax. I actually still remember my first appointment with Heather because I was telling her how nervous I was day of but she made me feel comfortable and guided me throughout the whole waxing process. She even tells you when to take deep breaths for parts that may hurt more than others (I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is!)! I actually stopped going to Heather for a year or so because it was difficult to set up appointments with her since I worked in DC. However, now that my schedule is a little more flexible, I switched back to getting waxes by Heather. I'm really glad that I did because she's super sweet and deserves the business. I recently came in to get my arms, legs, and a Brazilian wax done and time flew by so fast because of our conversation. I didn't feel uncomfortable at any point during the waxing session (all of this came out to $170). Prices are extremely reasonable in my opinion. I used to go to one of the waxing chains in Ashburn, and I can definitely tell you that service + price at Voda Spa is way more deserving of my business. Heather also does facials :) I really hope to get a facial done by her sometime soon too. They sounded awesome when I asked her about them, and the fact they all include extractions to get all that gunky stuff out of your skin sounds appealing. In summary, reasonable prices, cozy environment, and excellent customer service. P.S. Weekends can be super hard to book with Heather, so if you need weekend appointments, book them at least 3 weeks in advance. Also, the door to enter Voda Spa is on the side of the building. There's a door outside that says "Voda Spa." Heather includes those directions when you get your appointment confirmation, but including this tip anyways in case someone forgets to read that portion :)

After such a great experience, I decided to go back for a spray tan, and it was hands down the best I've ever had-- organic natural, even, and flawless. Then, I treated myself to a Voda Facial, and once again, it exceeded my expectations. The results were amazing, and my skin has never felt better. Three treatments in less than a month, and I can confidently say that this new customer has become a lifelong customer. If you're looking for a place that offers top-tier services, a welcoming atmosphere, and an owner who truly cares about her clients, look no further than Voda Spa! Susie C.
