Two years ago, my friend recommended me to Heather and I'm so grateful she did because Heather is such 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 :) read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Voda Spa and Wellness Studio! I recently had my first-ever Brazilian wax, and to say I was nervous would be an understatement. But Heather, the owner, was absolutely incredible--she immediately put me at ease, and the entire procedure was quick, painless, and so much better than I ever expected. 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. read more

I called to make an appointment and Heather answered the phone. She was not a nice person. I wanted to schedule lash and brow tint plus tanning. She said it wasn't available to do all today. That is fine. I'm in town for the day and I said I would schedule tanning today on line and did she have any suggestions for local lash or brow. She said to google, which is fine. I think I made her angry by asking because all of a sudden, the appointment I wanted for tanning was gone. There are several tanning areas to chose from. I will give my loyalty and money to someone else. read more

Heather is the best. I have been a client for years. I have been other places, but the service and results have never met what Heather has given me. read more

Amazing owner with tons of knowledge. Not sure how much my spray ran worked out but that's just the luck of the draw with those- nothing guaranteed. But still owner has tons of other amazing services! read more

Me ha parecido un sitio estupendo y muy de fiar. Siempre hay que tener cuidado donde te haces una limpieza y este sitio es muy muy recomendable read more

I went there for spray tanning. Tracy did a fantastic job on my tan. I had to prepare for a bodybuilding competition so I needed an extra dark tan. She was professional and the price was right. Plus they were very timely in responding to my requests online. read more

Voda Spa & Wellness Studio - This is the spray tan that I got before my contest. She did two coats of dark. It turned out great! - Skin Care Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Heather is the best! She's done my hair removal for 5+ years and several spray tans. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease, and is a delight to talk to. She's very knowledgeable, and explains the service/process very thoroughly. She's efficient, kind, and skilled in her profession :) read more

Just got home from the most perfect and relaxing facial! Heather is amazing and made me feel so warm and welcomed. The facial felt great and she is really good at giving the perfect mix of information, fun chats, and relaxation. It's hard to find balance at many spas and this couldn't have been better! My skin is glowing and without any stickiness or heavy feeling. I highly recommend Voda Spa to everyone! read more

Voda Spa & Wellness Studio - Skin Care Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Love the ambiance of this small business. Thanks to a Specialious advertising and coupon, I discovered this quaint little business. Heather, the owner, was fantastic. She was professional and understanding. She explained the process of the 'spray tan', and gave simple instructions on how it worked. It took less than 10 minutes and I achieved the results that I was expecting. I hope to come back and try her other services! The location is located on the second floor of a business building that is situated in a neighborhood location. There is a small parking lot. The house is located on the corner of Grant and 3rd. read more

In support of small businesses, I checked Yelp hoping to find a good therapist/aesthetician. I had bookmarked Voda Spa for a few months and came across a Living Social deal. This was my time to finally see what other Yelpers were talking about. Heather is such a nice lady, very patient and definitely skilled/knowledgeable. I had a 60 minute facial with a mini massage. My face must have known I was going to visit her because about a week earlier, it decided to break out. Heather was able to address my skin issues and provide me with a really relaxing facial - it was so relaxing, I FELL ASLEEP. The mini massage was for my legs/feet and hands. It was great to get the warming 'socks' put on my feet, I have circulation issues, so my feet are usually cold. The whole experience was super relaxing, not only was it difficult for me to stay awake, I just wanted to stay on the heated table with the warming socks on. Heather's business is located in a quiet residential area. A large, white house has been turned into a 'multiplex' of businesses and Voda Spa is located on the second floor. I went on a Saturday, so the house and neighborhood was very quiet. read more

UPDATE: I am updating my review because the owner did reach out and apologize for the situation. She offered a heartfelt apology and a complimentary wax, which I did not take, but the gesture was very nice. Good customer service after a bad experience so I am appreciative. One of the worst Brazilian waxes I've ever received and I've been getting them for over . The experience itself was okay - the facility was clean and I felt comfortable (hence 2 stars instead of 1) - but I could tell as the esthetician was doing it that it wasn't going to end well. She used one type of wax the whole time (i.e hard with no soft) and her technique was just ripping without keeping the skin taught or applying pressure. The skin around my most sensitive areas has been ripped off and hurts still so I can't wear jeans or tight shorts. Also, horrible attention to detail; she used just overheard lights, which were dim in the first place, and didn't bother tweezing. I feel like I got scammed because of how much hair was left behind in numerous places - good thing I wasn't planning on wearing a bikini anytime soon. I had high hopes because of the reviews online but maybe they don't normally give Brazilians. I will not be rebooking. read more

It had been forever since I had a brazilian + I have super sensitive skin. Heather was great, quick, but not too quick, and made it as painless as possible. I will definitely be going back. read more

Wow! I'd like to start by thanking fellow Yelpers for leading me to Heather at Voda! Secondly, I would have to thank Heather for doing what she does and doing it so well. I haven't had a facial in years and needed to change that fast. The congestion was getting to be too much. The place I used to go has a disconnected phone number so I was left to Yelp. Heather was pleasant, knowledgeable, and has excellent listening skills. Not once did I feel like it was financial transaction...get in, get out. NOT that way at all here and I will definitely be back. In fact, I have already booked an appointment to get a massage. Two thumbs up! (while relaxing, of course) read more

Very disappointed with customer service. As a first time customer I arrived at 10:44 am for an 11am spray tan. I walk in and identify myself and told to come back at 11! I was in shock..wasn't invited to wait in waiting room. Had to wait in car until 11! Person rudely hollered at me saying sorry and never had anyone react as I did. The tan was streaky and not worth $49. Very bad experience. read more

Heather is THE BEST. I went to her a few times for a brazilian wax while I was in the area visiting from out of state, and she always gave the most thorough and painless wax of anyone I've ever been to, no exaggeration. I wish I could have taken her back home with me when I stopped traveling to VA! read more

This review is long overdue! Heather is absolutely wonderful. I found her on Yelp and I have to agree with all the other reviewers- she is amazing. I know most of her clients go for waxing, but I starting seeing Heather for microdermabrasion facials a few months before my wedding. I have acne prone skin and I really wanted clear, glowing skin for my big day. The facials are pricey (here and everywhere), but SO worth the investment. I could tell the difference after just a few treatments- my skin was glowing- it was clearer, smoother, and my pores were significantly smaller (especially on my nose). I got so many compliments in the months leading up to my wedding and on my wedding day. Even my make up artist complemented me on my complexion! Now about Heather and her little spa... She is a very warm and genuine person. She has a calming personality which put me at ease (especially when I tried a spray tan and I was pretty much butt naked in front of her). My appointments with her were relaxing and when I was in the mood to talk, I always enjoyed our conversations. I have a friend who is getting married in a few months and I told her she has to go see Heather! read more

First time I have ever been! Tracy was super helpful and amazing, she definitely knew what she was doing! I have found my new place to go to

I have been a loyal client for many years because Heather is fantastic! Several friends are also clients now because I continually spoke highly of her, so they tried her out, and agreed that she is a pro. I am a big fan of her waxing services .... I've been to other salons and several times I have been left with chafed/raw skin because they've not used the right temperature wax or they've gone over the same area too much. With heather, you're not going to walk out in pain...but you will walk out smooth as silk. You'll love Voda, too! read more

Heather was the first esthetician who did my very first full Brazilian wax two years ago. Back then, I had a huge fear of the process and shaved all the time. Heather put me at ease and chatted with me throughout the whole process, worked very fast by ripping off small patches of hair at a time and using a tweezer to make sure there are no in-grown hairs left behind. She also encourages you to inhale and exhale at the appropriate times should there be a slight "twing" of discomfort. I've gotten waxed at some different spas (underarms and Brazilian) and have either been burned, or left with wax/hair on the waxed area. Not with Heather... Yesterday, I went for my first Brazilian wax with Heather at Voda and can only say that she has gotten even better! As a distance runner building milage week after week, it is now becoming more imperative for me to keep up with my waxing regime. I'm due for my period next week and am usually overly sensitive in that area, but decided to bite the bullet and get it done regardless.The outcome? The waxing was flawless, virtually painless and simply magical! Heather is really skilled and awesome; why go anywhere else? Like some of the other Yelpers on here, I also followed Heather from her last spa and love the fact that she has opened Voda Spa & Wellness Studio! Booking my appointment online through her website was speedy and simple; plus, I was sent an email reminder about my appointment the day before as well and I appreciate her 12 hour cancellation policy compared to the usual 24-48h of other area spas. In addition to waxing, Heather is also an amazing massage therapist and now that I am reading about it... would love to try out her facials as well! Voda is located on the first floor of a large, white Victorian home, tucked away in the quaint neighborhoods of Herndon, VA right off of Elden Street. There are several other businesses in the home as well. The building is unique and the overall atmosphere feels much more homey than being in yet another office park or strip mall in NoVA. Simply put, it's a great place to relax in a one-on-one studio setting! Heather - thank you for your consistency, utmost professionalism and joyful spirit! Wishing you the best of luck in your business endeavors and I look forward to my next appointment with you at Voda! read more

I saw Heather 2 years ago for a Brazilian as she was referred by a friend. She was nice and friendly but the best thing was, her clinic is very clean and hygienic. It was my first time but she was really good and finished quickly so my suffering wasn't too bad. Every other place looked filthy to me after my visit at Heather's clinic. I'm only gonna go back there from now on. Tip: don't ever go to Aislinn in Fairfax!!! Horrible!! It was torture!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I have been going to Voda Spa for a few years now, consistently, for sugaring and waxing with Tracy. She is AMAZING! She is super professional and makes everything painless, and is just an incredible person to be around. Voda Spa is clean, inviting, and has such a positive energy to it - as soon as you walk through the door. I highly recommend coming to Voda for all spa needs - they do everything with such care, precision, and always have such an amazing attitude. read more

I followed the owner, Heather, from her last spa and am so glad she decided to open her own place. She's great at waxing - I get both brazillian and underarm. She has a great sense of humor and totally puts you at ease. Not an easy feat when you've got your junk hanging out with hair being ripped out! She also does small sections at a time so that lessens the pain vs. one big swatch. She also doesn't bat an eye should you feel the need for a well-placed piece of profanity during the waxing (KELLY CLARKSON!!) -again, totally puts you at ease. I've also had a facial and massage and actually fell asleep on the table the last time I had a massage. I'm a total Type-A who can never fully relax, so to zone off and start snoring was HUGE. She really knows her stuff! I would recommend Heather's services to anyone - she's so good at what I've had done that I just want to try out all the other services she offers! Check her out! read more

SO happy that I found her again! The first time I got a wax from Heather was a couple of years ago at a different spa. I thought she was very warm, friendly, she put me at ease and she did a great job. She ended up leaving the spa and I did not know where she went. I finally found her- thanks to Yelp! and I have started frequenting her spa- "Voda" and I am so pleased! Heather is just great- friendly and professional. Her quality of work is great and I am so glad I found her again! read more

Heather is the best, though I could be biased since she's the only one I've ever been to! I followed her from where she used to work, and she now has her own business. Voda Spa is nicely decorated and a relaxing place to be, tucked away in a Herndon community. She's super friendly and its easy to relax when working with her. She remembers a lot of the things I tell her even though I'm only there every 5 weeks or so! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have any sort of waxing done! Excellent service at excellent prices as well (I've done some shopping around and reading of reviews!) read more

Fantastic spa/studio. It's tucked away in a Victorian house and if couldn't be more peaceful and perfect. Heather was a delight and great conversation during my lash/eyebrow tint. She did a fabulous job, excellent customer service, good product placement for future service options, and just a comfortable atmosphere. I cannot wait to try a few more services and comment on those as well. read more

This is the best spa! I have been for waxing and they offer wax and sugaring. Tracy is an amazing technician and is very knowledgeable about the wax and its ingredients/effects etc. She is very thorough and makes sure you're happy before you leave. 10/10 recommend! read more

I enjoyed the incredible service received at Voda spa and wellness. Definitely worth the 5 stars. Highly reccomend the waxing services.

Heather is awesome! Being pregnant I was really nervous to get a Brazilian. I learned that skin is very sensitive during pregnancy. I told her lets try to see how it goes. All of the sudden she says we are done! Brazilians are never pain free! But this was the best experience I ever had. She also chatted with me the entire time! Helped get my mind off of the process. It's also her own business! I love supporting small business! read more

This spa is truly professional and emasculate. It is located in a unique setting which made it feel more welcoming and calm. Heather was so easy to talk to and educated me on before and after care of my Brazilian wax. The after results were flawless! She takes her time and truly cares. Unlike places such as European wax center, which just wants to get you in and out of there as quickly as possible, Voda is on another level and I will definitely be going back there! read more

I booked a 60 minute massage and the 15 min scalp massage add on with Diana Mercer this morning! It was a wonderful experience!! Diana was professional and courteous, and didn't talk during the massage which is always my preference. I was able to totally relax and enjoy every second of it! Thank you Diana!! read more

I was in desperate search of a place to go to for all my relaxing and waxing needs. And I found it here with Heather. Even though it wasn't my very first waxing experience ever. She made it personal and easy! She carried on a conversation with me the entire time. And I swear, it was the best and the quickest waxing experience I've ever had. I highly suggest Heather and her studio to anyone looking for a great experience with fantastic results. This is my now go to spot for my waxing and maybe more. I also loved how I could book my appointment online and didn't have to call. If you are curious, you gotta go and try it! read more

The reviews on here are spot-on. Heather is great! I have visited her twice now for waxing services and she is professional, knowledgeable, very friendly, and always does a great job. I highly recommend her! read more

Tracy did an amazing job with my lash lift and tint! I barely wear make up because I want my lashes to be the focus and man are they! She recommended a skin care like that has changed the glow in my complexion too! read more

I was looking for a new place to have my Brazilian waxing done as I was going to EWC and was dissatisfied. After reading the positive reviews I booked an appointment with Tracy. Once I arrived Tracy explained the difference between waxing and sugaring. I decided to go with sugaring and let me tell you I was not disappointed. Tracy was thorough and very professional. This was the best Brazilian I've had anywhere. I'm so glad I found this place. read more

Very professional and clean spa! It was my first time since I just moved to the area and will be going back for a spray tan next week!

Heather is awesome. Personable, professional and does an excellent job. I'll be back :)

I've visited Heather for several facials in the past couple of years, and although my experience with facials elsewhere is limited, I can't imagine it can get any better! Getting there - Booking online is a breeze, and she has some appointments in the evenings (but they fill up fast!). Her office is in an upper floor room of a really cool old historic home that has been converted into office space. It is easy to find (near the intersection of Herndon Parkway and Grant) and there is ample parking. She used to be in a smaller room right next to where she is now - her current space is beautiful and spacious with gorgeous wood trim and a little office in a side room. She has done a lovely job decorating it and creating a serene atmosphere with soothing colors and music. Being there - The facial is very relaxing and she throws in some "extras" that I don't think are typical like a neck/leg/foot massage and warming booties. Last time she trimmed my eyebrows also - not sure if that is now a part of the service or if she just noticed I needed it! I notice a big difference in the quality of my skin for weeks afterward, especially related to blackheads. My favorite part is that she is able to eradicate millia (little white bumps caused by dead skin accumulation) - I get maybe 10-12 a year and hate them, and a lot of facialists won't treat them because it requires piercing the skin slightly. If not removed, they can accumulate for YEARS and become quite large. Heather is amazing with these, she even got rid of a tricky one over my eye recently! She also makes paying/tipping easy through a tablet app - you have the option to add the tip to your credit card which isn't always an option elsewhere. Other notes - I am not into waxing, but that is what she is famous for (especially bikini area). I have talked to her about it quite a bit and I see why! She takes it very seriously and has done extensive training and research to make it as painless an experience as possible (she says she developed a passion for this after having an unpleasant waxing experience herself). She clearly takes her business and clients very seriously and really seems to enjoy the work and have a lot of pride in doing the best job she can. I highly recommend, especially for facials and waxing! read more

I had an amazing experience here yesterday. Let's just say this, I'm fat! I have always been self concious at even the thought of getting a full Brazilian done, but hey fat girls want to be well groomed too. I specifically mention being a bigger girl, as many of us need services like this but do not know who to see. Well ladies, no matter what your size - go to see Heather. She is wonderful. No judging here. Her salon is clean, calming, and inviting. It's located in a house so it feels more like you're visiting her at home. As for the waxing itself? I had a full Brazilian with full legs done. We chatted and the time flew by. I can say that this was as painless as waxing can be. Everyone is different but Heather knows her stuff ! I may just treat myself to a facial one day. I can see why she has such a loyal following. There is now one more. read more

Heather consistently delivers fabulous facials. She does wonders for my sensitive skin, and it's always a joy to spend 60 or 90 minutes with her. Highly, highly recommend Voda Spa & Wellness Studio! read more
