A relaxing, refreshing therapeutic massage administered by the tender trained hand of Onya that were versatile enough to accommodate stress relief strength and fluffy needs depending on what you crave. She tenderly stroke the tension away from my hard working body but was still soft enough to actually let me dose through the entire session because for some reason I was transposed to a white sand blue water beach read more

I had a pleasant experience at Tea Spa. The entire spa has a relaxing vibe, with orchids everywhere, dark paint, and low lighting.The receptionsist was very nice, and knew what was happening that day. I came to Tea Spa with a groupon, and often worry that I am going to be hassled and overcharged. Since I booked online, and noted the groupon, I felt comfortable knowing that I would get decent service. I received a facial that was felt refreshing and left my skin clean and smooth. I do not remember who I was seen by, but she was extremely friendly, and did not talk my ear off (which I appreciated most of all). My extractions were painful, but I expected that. This morning, though, I woke up with a pimple on my nose. Is this normal? I am not sure. Oh well, such is life! So why not more than three stars? It is hard to put my finger on why I don't feel this is a "Yay! I'm a fan." I think a lot of it had to do with the location. Tea Spa is located in a run down area of Wheaton, a bit far from the metro, in a crappy white building. I literally passed it after I jumped off the bus. Also, I was a little put off by the extremely tiny water cup I received (think dentist office paper cup) after my facial. Maybe, though, my unhappiness has to do with my crazy allergies and all of the sneezing I have been doing lately. Whatever the reason, I doubt that I will be back to Tea Spa. While my service was well worthy my groupon price, I doubt that I would purchase another groupon, and trek out to Wheaton for a three star facial. read more

I have to add yet another shout out both to Tea Spa and to Iris as a masseuse. Like everyone has already told you Tea Spa is a totally unassuming place from the outside. I couldn't even figure out how to find the door for a minute. But once inside, it is truly peaceful and emanating with zen - the decor isn't kitschy or overdone. After a nice front desk and waiting area experience, things get even better with a genuinely terrific massage. I'm a bit different from most people who get massages and ask for mine to be light pressure (due to back issues) - so maybe if I wanted a deep tissue thing going on it would be different - but honestly, Iris gave me the most relaxing, feel-good massage I've had possibly ever. I'm not a massage junky but have been a dozen or so times and this was my favorite one. Only drawback was that I was super-tired and Iris was so good I couldn't stay awake and had to keep dragging myself out of slumber on the super-comfy massage table. read more

I've been to tea spa twice! I came here with a Groupon about a year ago and recently just bought the membership. Both times I've been here the massages were just perfect! I went to several spas/massage places before making my decision to get the membership. Tea spa was one of the top places I've been to. I went here recently for a hot stone massage, European facial, and 30 minute sauna. Soooo relaxing! Prior to the massage and facial, they have u fill out an intake form describing any injuries/what kind of pressure you want. The Facial form asks about skin type and things you do for your face at home. Jane did my massage and it was soo relaxing. I usually choose light pressure and she wasn't too light or too deep, just perfect! The stones felt heavenly! Next time I'll have her focus more on my neck, it felt amazing!! Suyun did my facial and it was absolutely relaxing, my face feels sooo soft. All together, i paid about $140 with the membership prices and sooo worth it!! The atmosphere was super relaxing from the music to everything!! FYI with the membership, for only $49 you get monthly discounts, overall discounts on almost all the facials and massages! read more

The atmosphere is okay. I have been in worse looking places for massages. The people are the front desk were super nice and helpful. The offer tea but it taste very water down. Its nice because they have parking. The massage its self was okay. I have been to a lot of massage places and the masseur did okay job. He was late and finished on time, so I did not get the full hour. The pressure was great. The foot scrub was worthless and not really effective. I would of rather not have the foot scrub. It did not make my feet feel soft nor relaxed. I left with sandy feet. Also it was not clear on the Groupon that it would be part of the massage. Lastly, the towels used for the hot towel treatment were rough. It was a rude awkenking. Overall, left not feeling relaxed but more rushed. I would only recommend this place if you have a groupon. Do not add the foot massage, it was not worth it. read more

Great experience! Bought a Yelp deal and used it for a prenatal massage. I'm due in three weeks, and kicking myself for waiting this long to treat myself! Awesome price with the Yelp deal, very good pricing in general! The space is small and tranquil, and the staff is very polite. I ran late for my appointment, and they politely asked me if I wouldn't mind scaling back my appointment to 30 mins, since someone was scheduled after me. They gave me a gift cert for the remaining amount, and were actually apologetic to me for not bring able to accommodate me for the full hour, even though I was the one who was late! The masseuse was friendly and appropriately quiet. A little more light handed than I would have liked, but I assume that is due to my gravid state. I came out feeling refreshed and wishing I had been on time. I am not a massage regular, but I plan to adopt the habit. As a parent, it will be worth it if only to have dedicated time to myself that doesn't involve dishes or laundry! I highly suggest checking this place out if you are interested in treating yourself to a massage or other spa treatment.. read more

I just took my boyfriend for a couple's massage. The outside of the building looks a little dinky, but inside looks amazing. We were nicely greeted and after I gave the receptionist my groupon, she gave us our intake forms. Each of our therapists were very attentive to what we wanted. My massage therapist used exactly the right amount of pressure. It was great. No complaints. They have really good prices, when you sign up for a membership of 49/year. They don't keep your card on file or auto draft. I will probably get a membership, since it makes massages and facials quite affordable. Best prices I could get without a groupon. And the membership allows for unlimited use of any service on the list. Check it out! read more

I found Tea Spa through Groupon and I have only had professional massages through them or on a cruise. I'm no expert but they do a fantastic job. I go back twice a year. They have a membership you can sign up for that gives you discounted prices and a birthday treat! They are tucked away in the middle of busy Wheaton with free parking by the Subway restaurant but if they're full, there's plenty of metered parking around. When you make your appointment, they always make sure you are aware of that fact and to arrive early. When you arrive, they offer you tea or water while you relax in their waiting area to calm music and dim lighting. They lead you back into your room and go over your intake form with you. Make sure they know what you are looking for in your massage (a relaxing one, sore muscles, deep deep tissue, etc.) they ask if you have any areas you dont want touched or you want the focus to be on. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They play soft music and aromatherapy while you are getting your massage. I would suggest trying to not get an appointment during rush hour since the rooms are right against Georgia Ave and you can distantly hear the honking. It's not very loud but it does minimally affect the atmosphere Afterwards you can hang out in the waiting room to relax with some water or tea. I've never been steered to the door. I've personally sat in the waiting room for 20 mins after my massage just enjoying the relaxing atmosphere while I finished my tea. I would definitely recommend Tea Spa to anyone looking for a relaxing get away nearby read more

AMAZING RELAXATION! I bought a Groupon and ever since I found out about this place. I come here all the time. The best massage therapist is Chris. He is the BEST! The rooms are low light with low music and just very relaxing. This is the best spa I have ever been to and the prices no one can beat it. I am so happy and satisfied with Tea Spa. I highly recommend this place. It is the best! read more

Came back for a facial this time and decided to also have a massage. From the moment I walked in until leaving, I was treated with respect, courtesy and in a professional manner. Suyun did my facial and explained everything. My face felt smooth and refreshed. Karen was my massage therapist and was absolutely fantastic. I felt like a blob of protoplam walking out the door. Great service, lovely staff and complimentary parking. What more can you ask for! read more

I have been here twice over the least 2 years and both times it was a pleasure. I received nice relaxing services at a fair price in a calm clean spa. My masseuse did a great job on the Swedish Massage, I left feeling great. My only suggestion would be to make the rooms a little warmer for a comfy feel, and the masseuses should keep warm hands before beginning the massages. read more

Horrible customer service, would suggest people to not buy their groupon. I bought a couple massage groupon today for my sister as it is her birthday. Forget getting there and experiencing how they are, they won't even willingly understand that we are stuck on 495 traffic due to an accident and heavy rains. Instead they charge me fees for scheduling and say that there will be no appointment available for another four weekends. Manager doesn't understand customer service , charges to reschedule for another time today or the coming weekend. Sounded completely like a money making business. Inflexible people, dissatisfied. Don't waste your money folks- not worth it!! read more

Third visit... Still amazing. Very friendly staff with such inviting & calming environment. Can't wait till Wed for my next visit. read more

While the exterior isn't very noticeable the interior is welcoming and calm. However, there were a few improvements that should be made. I organized the appointment for my boyfriend's birthday and he had never visited a spa before. They were cordial in setting up the appointment but when we arrived they didn't give him any procedural instructions on how to dress, what to do, or where to go when each section was finished. I, who was waiting on him, had to find him and direct him myself on what to do next. While i waited i heard another woman expressing her uncertainty on what to do, saying it was her first time visiting a spa, but no clear instructions were given. When it came time for our massages, one of the masseuses, a young lady, was 30 minutes late to our schedule appointment after I spent some time on the phone arranging and rearranging the services so that we could receive massages at the same time. Her outfit also wasn't very professional as she came in and performed the massage in uggs and aeropostale sweatpants. The quality of massages were okay. My boyfriend felt his was not as firm as he needed but that could have been the type of massage we chose. Also the foot scrub was rough and left my feet stinging for a few days. Overall the atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly, but explaining the procedure and instructing the clients on where to go IS necessary, especially if they express to you that they've never visited a day spa before. Also punctuality should be improved. read more

My husband and I just went today for a Swedish couple's massage. It was hubby's first, ever, and he was very excited. Mimi served hubby and Ben worked on me. The thing that disturbed us initially, was the wait. Being the proactive and uber early birds that we are - we had already completed our intake sheets beforehand and brought them with us, and we arrived (we live very close by - we walked) about 8 minutes before our appointment. They say to arrive 15 minutes (for first timers - for the intake process, of course) - but hubby and I were thinking, if we had come that early, might we have still waited the additional 15 minutes AFTER our scheduled appointment time? We got there, as I said, 8 minutes before our appointment, handed the nice receptionist our intake sheets, and sat in the waiting area. Meanwhile, at least 5 staff members appeared in the front desk area, just chatting among themselves. A member, also scheduled for the same time slot, walked right in. Hubby was irritated,because we'd still have to undress, etc., which would take additional time. I told him they were probably preparing our room, etc (he wasn't impressed). But they had been doing just that, as it turned out. Two lady members were also leaving at that time, and it became even more crowded at the front desk, detracting from the peaceful atmosphere (a lot of chatter, one woman misplaced her glasses, blah blah blah). We were finally ushered in by Mimi - but it was comical because she asked us, at 14 minutes past the hour if we'd like to come in.{Why, YES, Mimi, we would!} I felt pretty certain we'd get shorted in the process. And we did. While I appreciated Ben's ability and skill (he asked about my areas of need, I told him, he handled them) - my husband's neck sensitivity, I do believe, caused Mimi to give him an abbreviated treatment. My observation, too - I'm sure Ben, in trying to coordinate the timing with Mimi, skipped over the front of my arms while I was on my back - ending almost abruptly. My husband was also disturbed by the fact that he didn't learn Mimi's name until we got back out to the desk and the receptionist told us which tip envelop to select. (What happened to, "Hi, my name is Mimi, and I'll be your massage therapist today"?) Because once we got in the room, I suppose it was just time to shed the clothes, and get right to it. I don't know. They get 3 stars because they are so incredibly close to our home, and offer a wide range of services. I'll probably return. I'm still thinking about whether or not to join. The last thing I want to say, is a tip from my husband: If you have first time customers, and you want them to purchase a membership (and I was asked), then you should certainly do everything you can to make their first experience special. He's right. I would have dropped that $50 so fast today... read more

I scheduled a wax and a facial three days before my wedding here. I made the appointment about a month out. I called to confirm twice. I arrive today and I sat for 30 minutes before they told me no one was available to do my wax or facial. They just sat there and told me there was nothing they could do. Im literally in tears because it is Sunday and everywhere else is closed and I drove and hour just to get here. And my wedding is a couple days away. I can't believe this is how they treat members. So fucked up. read more

I love being a member here! Of course, it is very important to find a therapist that you connect with and Iris is the one for me! She does amazing work, has a unique and effective technique, and is very attentive and professional. She's the reason I keep coming back! The facility is very soothing, clean, and homey, and smells amazing every time I come in! I find the prices very reasonable especially if you are a member or can use a member coupon. I'm so pleased to be a client here! read more

I am another groupon buyer. I paid $49 for a 50-minute deep facial cleaning and 30-minute infrared sauna session. I love the atmosphere! During my facial, it was extremely relaxing to the point that I fell asleep and let out a big snore...how embarrassing, lol. The only reason that they did not get five stars is that they did not book me for my sauna session the same day, and I did not have time to wait for it to heat up. Luckily, I live close by and was able to reschedule for the following day. The sauna felt amazing and a great stress reliever. You should go and experience this place, prices are very reasonable! read more

Went in for a couples massage, and it was good except it wasnt really couple-y. Also skip the detox foot scrub. Bot overall, a good experience. read more

Really impressed with my facial--great bedside manner and I could tell she focused more on the area that I mentioned was a problem, which was fantastic. I got a really deep clean, extensive moisturizing, and painless extraction, if a somewhat limited head/neck/chest massage. Also really awesome service at the front desk and financially reasonable membership deal. It was slightly shorter than the allocated 50 minutes, though--and with how great it felt, I would've really appreciated that extra 5-7 minutes! Also, heard some particularly loud customers through the walls into my room, though most of it was really relaxing with quiet music. Will definitely be back, and if I do, it will be for the membership package! read more

I bought a Groupon for a one hour and made a same day appointment. The first time I called they only had one slot available I was unsure about so I called back. Then they had a spot ready in about a half hour so I drove over. The location is nice for what the building provides. Dim lighting, the usual nature/soft music, modern but light decorations, etc. The staff were very friendly and engaging. The room I was put it was nice except you could hear the sounds of the highway and sirens on occasion. The pricing here in general is cheap. I'm rating this place only three stars because of the quality of the massage. I think I had David massage me. He wasn't bad but I had much better with other places. I did feel better at the end than I did initially because I came in for back/neck pain flaring up. But I wasn't overly impressed with the quality. Maybe I'm spoiled by more advanced therapists. I'm also rating this three stars because when you're relaxing, it's nice to avoid hearing the road. If you want a cheaply priced massage that has decent results with a friendly staff and atmosphere, I'd recommend going here. If you want a lot of quality and expertise and significant results, maybe not. read more

I wish I could come here every day. Great massage. Con: it's on a main road so you can hear motocycles, fire trucks, ect. But it's not that bad. read more

I really enjoyed the services here. I am not usually in the area, but was this day, and needed services. The Tea Spa has a quiet and peaceful environment. I love a good pedicure and this place is great. They really understand how to cut down the cuticle around the toes, which most places don't even try to make an effort. Beautiful paint and design work as well. I will definitely return! read more

Atmosphere/Appearance: Excellent, it was quiet, clean, well decorated (but not in a distracting way) It was definitely a peaceful environment for a massage. You may not be able to tell from outside, but its actually quite pleasant inside. Price: Pretty reasonable, its a really good deal if you can get a Groupon. Customer Service: Great, when I first walked in, I was offered water and tea, Chris was at the front desk & he was very polite and welcoming. The website is clear and organized, but here is where my issue came up; there is no way to indicate on the website your preference for the gender of your massage therapist. I know to some people that is not an issue, but to make things completely convenient, it would be better if major preferences like that can be addressed online w/out calling in. My massage therapist was incredibly PROFESSIONAL, and POLITE, if you have no gender preference--he would be great. I cannot emphasize this enough, Chris was very professional, and very good at communicating what he was doing, he offered good advice on dealing with a problem area. read more

I came here with a groupon deal, it was worth the amount I paid for the deal. The massage was solid, but not great. The environment itself was good, although the room was a little cold (they did put on a space heater). After I got on the table, the therapist took quite a long time to return, which was my main complaint. Update: the owner called me and explained why the timing was off. They seem friendly and attentive, so even though there are some kinks to be worked out, I would go back. read more

I've seen this place many times before since I live around the area. When I noticed there was such a great deal on Groupon especially for a 60 minutes couple's massage, it was a done deal. I purchased the voucher for my boyfriend and I. I was happy how easy it was to redeem the voucher. Helen, who is amazing, booked my appointment. She was supper efficient and was able to book a time slot that was extremely convenient for us and answered all my annoying questions! I love that Tea Spa gives out confirmation calls the day before, saved me a phone call :) The spa is in 'the cut,' but once you get to the spa, you can feel the relaxing environment. The receptionist on duty was extremely sweet, attentive, and helpful! (I'm so sorry, I can't remember her name) She offered us tea while we fill out some paperwork. We had Ben and Marilyn who were really great at what they do. My boyfriend and I were happy with our massages. We were so relaxed we didn't want to leave. read more

5 stars for the massage, 3 stars for the place = 4 stars overall. My massage therapist was Karen, who was AWESOME! I like deep pressure, and she did just that. I felt amazing afterwards. Perfect. The spa itself is fine... yes, a bit small, but nice & relaxing. This is not a place to go if you're expecting cushy robes and all that, but it's clean and fine for what it is. I was a bit disappointed they ran out of water for after my massage (it was 10am), and also a bit annoyed that the receptionist rang up my giftcards incorrectly, charging me $25 more than I expected to pay and leaving an awkward $25 on one giftcard that I now have to find a way to use. I also heard the phone ring a couple times during my massage. Didn't bother me too much, but maybe they could change the ringer to be a more soothing kind of tone? read more

I have been to Tea Spa multiple times for a massage and have ALWAYS had a great experience. They are welcoming the second I walk through the door and always greet me with a smile. The atmosphere is so relaxing and I feel better the second I get there. I have a different massage therapist each time I go and have no complaints. They always ask before getting started on any problem areas or injuries and how much pressure I'd like. I feel the entire staff strives to give each person an exceptional experience. My only negative point is the location that it's in, not the greatest neighborhood and parking can be a bit of a pain but because I always have such a great experience there, I won't go anywhere else. read more

I went today with the Groupon and I had a very good experience. I am not familiar with the Wheaton Metro area (I barely leave NW DC), so I got lost as soon as I stepped out of the Metro. The receptionist was very kind on the phone, gave me good directions, and I eventually made it (20 minutes late!). Even still, she was nice to me when I arrived, got me a glass of water, offered me tea, etc. and I was able to relax a bit. Jane was my therapist, and she was great. I was a bit worried about the review below about talking about specials/hearing the highway, etc. but that was not a concern at all. She asked me what areas I wanted to focus on and then she did just that. Despite being late I was able to have the whole hour (I assume it's because it was 11AM on a weekday!). She asked me about the pressure once in the beginning, and that was that! The rest of the time was totally quiet and relaxing, with some nice spa music. When we were done she mentioned they have specials at the front desk, and poured me a glass of water to drink while I checked out. It was a great experience-- both the receptionist and therapist were lovely. I will be returning for the post-Groupon special they offer! read more

Front desk receptionist needs more training on customer service .They do not value you as a customer if you have a groupon ,and want to upcharge for everything .I have been there previously and had the same issue with front desk .Customer service and making your customers feel welcomed is extremely important aspect for a business and if you lack in that ,your business will definitely hurt overtime. read more

Great experience! Thanks Kathy for the wonderful massage! I was left wishing my 30 minutes was 90 minutes! Perfect massage for a stressful bride to be. This was my second time for a massage and I've been for a manicure before. Everyone is very nice and I plan to come back again soon. Kathy went out of her way to recommend some stretches for my very tight neck. Thanks again, highly recommend if you'd like a relaxing massage and polite service. read more

Tea Spa is great! I initially went to Tea Spa because I purchased the Groupon deal. I had an excellent full-body massage. Because I was in a bridal party the upcoming weekend, I suggested to my girlfriends that we take the bride-to-be to Tea Spa. I booked an appointment for 4 of us and mentioned that I would be bringing a bridal party. The owners are so sweet and even provided free champagne and strawberries! All of us had wonderful, relaxing massages. Excellent price, excellent service. Will return again soon! read more

Went there with my wife last weekend with groupon. We asked for Iris when we booked. However, Christina and Karen showed up. My wife is not impressed with Karen and think she is just so so (2~3 star). I had Christina and was very happy with her. I had problem on my right knee and leg and had a most effective Qua-mussels massage and stretch on the tendon at the back of my knee. I like massage a little bit discomfort (not painful) because I will feel great afterward. That is what Christina did. She was polite, asked me about my problem before the session and worked on it. She also helped my on my neck, shoulder and lower back all in one hour. I will give her 5 star. The place is clean with roomy. Definitely go back to see Christina, or even try Chris, Iris, and some other good masseuse from the review. read more

Have been here a number of times. I highly recommend the facials and massages. Great deals on Groupon too!!! Lots of appointments in a pinch. read more

My husband and I came in for a couples massage, I found out about them through a living social deal. The reason why I didn't give five stars is because, Since I'm pregnant they decided to up charge me $25 plus the tip they were expecting to get. -not professional-since I had already paid for the service. their bathroom is in the hallway outside of the spa and they share with another business, it was so dirty, since I'm pregnant my nausea is always present, with the smell of that bathroom, I almost threw up. The massage for me was OK but my husband said that was the best massage his ever had, and him and I get massages together at least once a month so for him to say that, I had to give them a good review. Everyone was very polite. And the spa itself was Clean read more

My sister brought me here for a birthday massage this past week, and I could not have been more pleased with my experience. The place smells wonderful, but not too strong. The receptionist was competent, but still calm. She even patiently explained where to park, twice :) The massage from Ben was wonderful! It was relaxing, but also got some of the crunchy sounds out of my shoulders :) All and all, I would recommend Tea Spa. read more

The staff were extremely friendly and my masseuse, David, made me feel comfortable. The massage was wonderful and he really gave attention to the points I requested in the beginning. The location isn't that great and parking can be tricky so get there early. The interior isn't the best, but I felt the massage and great service made up for it. read more

The endless tip signs are annoying. The tip amount is contingent upon a number of factors, and to make customers feel obligated to tipping a minimum amount is not cool. One sign with suggested amounts and maybe a reminder to tip on the price of the full service for a discounted service would be enough - give your customers the benefit of the doubt and assume they know to tip. Definitely don't expect a minimum tip amount if you're shaving 10 minutes off of the length of the massage or are skipping/rushing through certain elements of the service (aromatherapy, less than a minute foot scrub). A tip is earned, as is the amount. And definitely don't ask customers the tip amount in front of their therapist...awkward. Step it up guys! read more

I had a deep tissue massage w Tony and it was AMAZING. Cant say enough good things. I already booked my next appointment! Highly recommend this spot read more

The Tea Spa is great and Karen is excellent. I have been going there for several years now and the customer service is excellent; the staff is friendly. It is quiet and relaxing in the rooms and I always leave feeling so much better. Karen is outstanding. Highly recommended. Pam P. read more
