Just an update regarding my previous review. Management finally let her go. I will definitely be going back.

While I enjoyed my cryo-therapy from Jacob, I wish I was better prepared from the front desk staff, which is the only reason I'm not giving this a 4 or 5. Cryo was great (cold, but great), and the whole process was clearly explained from Jacob. In addition, the salt room and sauna after were great. Only negatives: When I called to make the appointment I specifically asked what I should wear and they said a bra/underwear was fine, but I wish I had worn a bathing suit b/c there's a whirlpool after the sauna that I would have enjoyed. Additionally, when I went to check out I learned they do no accept AMEX; again, I wish the front desk had indicated this when I booked the appointment. They had asked if I was a first time client, so they knew I hadn't been there and this seems like something that should be explained as one of their policies. I don't always carry multiple credit cards around and would have been stuck there without payment. read more

I had originally posted a 1 star review due to an issue with one of the staff there. After my complaint, the owner reached out to me wanting to fix my issue. They offered me a free facial and were interested in keeping me as a customer. The fact that they wanted to fix the issue meant they cared about their customers. I returned to get my facial from Valeria which was amazing. I almost fell asleep. She was very knowledgeable and extremely gentle. Excellent facial!!! As I was leaving, Jacob came out and introduced himself and showed me through the construction for their expansion. I'm very excited to go back once it's done. The sign of a good business is their willingness to go back and fix the issue and keep the customer happy. I was happy to go back and happy that Jacob and Valetia were so kind. Great services and very nice people at Aria, I will go back. read more

My first visit at Aria MEdispa was AMAZING!. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Ernesto who was my spa specialist, was very friendly and funny. I enjoyed every session which included the Box Sauna, body scrub and wrap. I walked out relaxed and well pampered. Definitely will be going back. read more

This is an update to my previous review. After a year, the spa reached out to me and offered me a free massage for my poor experience. I appreciate the spa finally owning up to their original poor customer service. The massage was good. read more

I must say that the massage was awesome and deserved five stars. The atmosphere was great and very soothing. I knocked down a couple stars because I paid for an aromatherapy massage and I got all of 30 seconds of aromatherapy. I mentioned to receptionist and she said she would have manager call me. I never heard. It would have been nice to be refunded the extra money I paid for the aroma. I was looking forward to it and was bummed. read more

I've seen Valeria for permanent makeup and she is amazing! Myself and several friends and clients now have benefited from her eyebrow, lip, and eyeliner skills, and we love her! She is a perfectionist about her work and always picks the best colors and shaping. Permanent Beauty work requires trust in a practitioner, and I would trust Valeria with anything. read more

I also went here for a Groupon spa package for $99.00. It was a day spa facial package that consisted of Herbal Tea Escape session, Sauna with Venik or Bochka, 35-minute aromatherapy honey treatment, and 60-minute Swedish massage. The lobby is beautiful and very clean, though I was surprised to not be offered something to drink as I sat to fill out paperwork. The locker room is very, very small, but does have about 8 lockers, robes, slippers, a shower, and a station to dry your hair. They also offer shaving cream, razors, etc. in case you need it. I was met by my technician outside of the locker room. I was with the same woman for the entire treatment, which lasted appx. 2 hours. The sauna with venik/honey treatment/herbal tea escape was wonderful. The honey treatment was like a massage itself, and the venik was very invigorating. The massage was the best I've had in my entire life. Overall, it was very relaxing and I will definitely be back. I did feel as if I was rushed through the experience - it would have been nice to have been offered to stay in the relaxation room at the end of my treatment - I did feel rushed out. Overall, very worth the Groupon. read more

I highly recommend Aria MediSpa! I have tried several spas in the Northern Virginia area, but none have been better than my visit to Aria. Upon walking in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a soft ambiance, which immediately made me feel calm. I was offered a drink and food while I completed the necessary paperwork. Everything was impeccably timed. I went with my sister and while she was changing they provided a complimentary wait in the sauna to help soothe my muscles before my facial and massage. Each member of the staff was extremely nice, professional, and attentive, not conceited and pompous like many other spas. Valeria, my esthetician, was thorough in applying the appropriate cleansers, masks, and moisturizers. As she positioned a steam nozzle over my face, she provided recommendations and massaged the remaining ingredients to complete the facial. After my facial, I was guided to the waiting room where I enjoyed sipping wine, light snacks, and reading material. Just as I flipped to the second page, Val (Valery), my masseuse escorted me to the massage room. The aromatherapy massage was both relaxing and therapeutic. His long, firm strokes during the full body massage nearly put me to sleep on the plush bed. While each product seeped in, my neck, arms, back, and feet were treated to hot steamed towels and light massaging. Val gives one last rub on my scalp after finishing the back and front of the full body massage, and we're done. Once I arrived at the reception desk, products had been pulled for me but there was no pressure to purchase. I was so pleased with my experience, I have already scheduled my next session. Aria MediSpa got everything right and I will not be going anywhere else for my spa treatments! read more

This place was relaxing for the cryotherapy part but no one told me over the phone, whoever I spoke to that I had to bring a swimsuit for the small pool area they had to cool me down after the sauna but other than that the service was great! read more

Had the best facial I have ever had today at this salon. The products used on me were amazing and I know they were above and beyond what spas normally use. Highly recommend this place! read more

Came here with a salt cave Groupon! Were given a tour of the spa, fresh robes and complementary snacks and drinks. Allowed to be in the salt room longer than we paid for which was nice! Highly recommend for a relaxing experience! read more

I recently completed the 7 day body detox/weight loss program at Aria. I waited a while after leaving the spa to write this review to see if the 8 pounds I had lost while there would stay off...THEY DID, AND I'M ECSTATIC!!! I even lost additional weight after I left the spa. The weight I had lost were pounds I had struggled to lose for several years. I can now wear clothes that hung in my closet during my "overweight period" unused or in which I looked like a stuffed sausage. Needless to say, I am quite pleased with the dramatic results. Thank you Aria!!! read more

Aria med spa is the best in town . I am so pleased with the services they provide. From laser hair removal to permanent make up services to Thai & Swedish message . Ask for Valaria for any skin services that u might need . She is a master esthetician and tattoo make up artist. I never hesitate to recommend this place to others and will continue my appointments. read more

I had booked a spa session here a few months ago and came back for a second time and booked a massage because it was really a great experience. from the details in the relaxation room such as the refreshing cucumber water, teas and snacks to the well stocked private shower and dressing area and friendly staff all add up to a great and relaxing experience. They do get busy, so note the persons name who you will be attended by and just ask for them. I look forward to coming back, and by the way,if you are in a hurry, change your appointment or your expectations, this is where you turn off everything and just decompress! read more

I had a HORRIBLE and the most unprofessional experience at this spa. I bought their laser package for my face. The person that did my laser had no clue about the treatment and didn't know how to use the equipments. She BURNED my face and as a result my face is scared forever. When I went back to show them the scares they didn't even apologize. I definitely DO NOT recommend this place for any laser treatment services. read more

I got laser hair removal with Caroline , and she is amazing! She always listen to my concerns , she does her best!

This may be the BEST premier spa in Northern Virginia with a European flair. I did my research for spas throughout the DMV, looking for the best birthday gift for myself. After reading numerous reviews, and asking friends, I decided on Aria Medispa. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for an extra special treat! I received 5 treatments for the price of 1 which in itself was astonishing (check their Facebook page and Groupon/Living Social for specials). I was greeted by Valeria at the front desk and my French masseuse Val, they were extremely friendly and genuine. I filled out my paperwork and was whisked into Wonderland. Every detail is covered, the spa is beautiful and peacefully decorated; it's warm and inviting. My treatments were all unique and different, leaving me wondering "what's next?". Being a medi-spa, they really focus on the healing and nurturing aspects of what each procedure entails, there is a purpose for everything they are doing. After my relaxing treatments, I was surprised with an elegant silver tray filled with goodies, a glass of red wine and a pot of tea. I was not rushed in any way, and felt right at home. The staff is extremely professional and was at ease during all of my treatments. I felt each and every person I encountered gave me their best and wanted to ensure that I left completely satisfied, and I did. I will continue to tell all of my friends and family about Aria Medispa. I will be back, as I have found my oasis. read more

Today I had my last touch-up laser treatment in my "save my face" journey with Valeria at Aria Medispa. I was shown before and after pictures of my face....my jaw dropped! Simply AMAZING results!! I see myself every day and obviously didn't notice the differences during my 6 month experience. Having never had a facial in my over 4 decades of life (...yes, that is over 40...) and having skin that leaves a mark for months after a scratch, blemish or boo-boo, I was incredibly nervous to start the recommended chemical peel and laser process last September. After seeing these results, and friends commenting on how great my skin looks, I am only regretting not having it done sooner in life. The pregnancy mask.... gone; the sun spots...gone.....; the wrinkles.....mostly gone. :) I feel better and, humbly stated, I look better!! I was so sad when Valeria said she looked forward to seeing my in the Fall for any peels I was interested in. I will miss her until then, but will be back to Aria MediSpa beforehand because the Venik and massages are calling my name. As a side note, I looked through the reviews for Aria MediSpa this afternoon. Clients are coming from all over the NOVA area, DC and Maryland. This is a true testament to their service and services. read more

The first time I visited this spa I had the BEST facial I have ever had with Zula. She really looked at my skin and asked questions. The face/scalp massage was wonderful. After coming home and having such a great experience, I looked up specials and found a massage/facial package. I called right away and purchased it. I didn't use it for a few months which was today. First, I had a massage with Tasha. She was wonderful and the massage was great. I then had some tea and fruit while I waited for my facial. When I called to book the appointment, they said Zula wasn't working that day. I said that was fine and they booked me with Navan. I have had several facials and have never experienced what I just did. As soon as I laid down, she didn't even say anything and started slapping lotion on my face. She almost had me in tears at how rough and fast she worked on my face. At one point she put a BRIGHT light on my face and just left the room for 20 mins! She didn't even say what she was doing! I guess this was in my "package", but she should of explained what she was doing. I pushed it off my face it was so uncomfortable. The scalp massage was horrible and when she rubbed my face she covered my nose and mouth and I could hardly breathe! I am never one to complain, but I thought other people should be warned. I was asked when I was leaving if I was splitting my tip. I then asked for a manager and explained how she manhandled my face. Instead of apologizing and maybe offering something else, she made excuses that Navan gives more of a "deep clean" esthetician. I have never even written a yelp review as I'm never one to complain. As soon as I come home to look up their reviews, the first one I see the person says they were rough were their face too. ****This is an update from my first review. I was left a voicemail after leaving the spa for a free sauna Venik treatment. I then received a voicemail this morning saying that they take back their offer because of what I wrote on yelp! I wrote the review so no one else has to endure the pain I did. A few hours after my facial I found my shoulder was sunburned from the light that was left on my "face" for 20 mins! This place is unprofessional and I will not return or recommend to anyone. read more

I moved to the area in August and quickly found Aria because they were advertising as a new local business. The specials they offer are unbeatable and because they are new, they seem to be offering deals frequently. I have been seeing Valeria for microdermabrasion and chemical peels as well as 1 facial and she's awesome. She has done a great job and is very attentive to my concerns. I am definitely going to schedule a massage soon as well. Overall, a great place and I would recommend checking it out. read more

I took my boyfriend to the MediSpa last night for his birthday and we both had a fantastic experience! Aromi who is the manager was so kind and helpful from beginning to end. My boyfriend and I used the package deal that we saw on Living Social and received a 45 minute body scrub and 45 minute massage. Since my boyfriend did not want to try the Venik Sauna, Valeria treated him to a complimentary facial. I tried the Russian Venik Sauna after my massage and boy was it an experience! My boyfriend really missed out! It was probably my most favorite out of the package deal! We were treated sooo well by all members of the staff. Val and June were both so attentive to my body and my boyfriends'. Sasha also blessed me with the Venik massage experience. I highly recommend this location! No complaints whatsoever. They even provided cookies, fruit, wine and tea afterwards. :) read more

Thoroughly loved my spa treatments, I FINALLY found my go to spot in the area. The massage therapist (I think her name was Natasha) was very professional and really made me relaxed during the massage, body scrub and body polish. I cant wait to go back. This place is amazing!!!!! read more

Love this place! Sheila is the best as was the guy who did my Ayurvedic (can't remember his name, unfortunately). I did the 5 hour treatment. Drove from NE DC and didn't really know what to expect but it was a pleasant unfolding. I left feeling renewed and was just thinking about when I'll go back. It's more than worth the drive which was close to an hour for me (just wish I had someone to drive me back!). The front desk left a bit to be desired and wish someone had given me my itinerary for the 5-hour time stretch but other than that, quality of services was great. read more

"Alarming"? Really. Thats interesting because your aestheticians did not think it was alarming at all. Certainly neither did you from our phone conversation. Instead, you yelled and scolded me for publicly posting my experience. Ive addressed this concern to Caroline 13 weeks ago (after 3rd session)and paid a visit to see her and she said it was perfectly normal. Your makeup artist Valeria said there is not a thing to worry about when i sent her pictures(after 4th session). I could proof both these instances through yelp if you'd like. You know whats surprising? Your audacity to comment on my review as such after threatening me not to step into your facility and that you will terminate my treatments midway bc i posted an honest review on Yelp. You also said that you will no longer be finishing permanent makeup on my eyebrows. Speaking of eyebrows, must i also declare that Aria Medispa is not even the last stop for permanent makeup, based upon my own experience. Valeria unsuccessfully did the first session of my eyebrows. The two were completely different from each other, not to mention that it was nowhere near what we agreed upon during our consultation. I sent her a text message regarding my concern and went into their facility after 2days. She asked to bring another certified professional, Tatyana, to help her out in the situation. What was funny is that she said she was aware of the two being different but she was very tired and said that she could fix it on our second touch-up session which is after 1.5 months. This is such a professional place that they could intentionally let their clients walk out with two different brows drawn on their face. Lucky for me the makeup started to scab and fall off (even though i followed every step they told me to). So this is another sample of professionalism. By the way i still have about 3-4 strokes which have faded so they cant come back saying i didnt follow care instructions. Ive read another review on their profile about permanent make up gone wrong for others to refer to. Valeria had promised to do it all over plus the touch up session with Tatyana but the owner says he does not want me to receive any service at their facility. Lastly, i have not declared them unprofessional in neither of my reviews, this is the conclusion the owner comes to and therefore finds it perfectly right to kick his clients out. I did not say anything about their machines being used against the law. So he is basically making up stuff from my previous review. (This is based upon our phone conversation) Iwould have expected a phone call from the owner or the techs and try to help me out with my issues but instead i got scolded upon from the owner. He is very rude and did not at all let me explain myself at all because he said he didnt care. I hope this review is helpful for those thinking about going to Aria for laser and permanent makeup. The owner said that they will refund my money back and if i dont receive it, i will inform those who are interested in finding out. (I got my refund in the amount they convinced me of after one month and tons of phone calls) Also, the owner replies to clients' reviews as if he would actually care forhis clients' experience but its only for show and not the actuality. This was all my own experience and i regret the day i called Aria for any of its services. read more

Was given a living social voucher for body scrub,aromatherapy,massage and LED face treatment. Staff was incredibly helpful and kind. Service was excellent. I definitely will be coming back soon. read more

I purchased the Groupon massage package today. Ernesto was very professional and asked if I was comfortable throughout the massage. He also asked ahead of time if there were any areas of concern etc. More importantly, it was one of the best massages I've ever had! Highly recommend requesting him for your next massage. read more

I was so impressed with the quality of the facilities and the friendly staff. I purchased a Groupon deal that allowed me to spend time in the Russian sauna, a 45 minute body scrub, a 45 minute massage and a 30 minute facial for a great price ($99). BUY THE GROUPON IF IT'S STILL AVAILABLE! My massage and scrub were with Val, who was wonderful and highly recommended if you don't mind having a male technician. My facial was with Veera, who was very knowledgeable and thorough. I liked that I was able to tip on a credit card as well. I will definitely return to Aria. read more

Very poor experience with Aria Medi Spa. I booked a last minute appointment online through SpaFinder, paid for the treatment and drove 30 minutes, only to get a phone call 10 minutes before the appointment time saying that they needed to cancel. She offered to reschedule later in the day, which was impossible because I had a flight booked that afternoon. The receptionist was very friendly and tried to help, but basically said there's nothing they can do to keep the appointment because they did not have an aesthetician available. She also said that their calendar does not communicate with the online SpaFinder scheduling, which seems strange to me because I was able to book a specific time, treatment, and pay for the services. Overall very disappointed with Aria Medi Spa and SpaFinder. Not the relaxing morning I imagined 12 hour before leaving the country... read more

I have been going here the whole body cryotherapy for several months now and it is great.

I purchased the Detox Day Spa package from Living Social. It was wonderful and a great deal even at the regular price. I was there for over 2 hours; Ernesto gave a great body scrub and went above and beyond! Then I had a honey treatment and about 20 minutes in the Botchka; a lovely tray of fresh fruit and tea and a facial by Elena (I believe)...It's a lovely place with very friendly, professional staff. I look forward to returning and trying some of the new services they are offering! read more

I had my eyebrows done by Valeria and I absolutely love them!! I receive so many compliments as they look so natural.

Nothing wrong with this place. It was nice and clean. The massage was fine. But (in my opinion) the massage would definitely not be worth the $130 normal cost. Fortunately, I did not pay that amount. Here is my reason for not giving it a better score. I used a Groupon $45 so it was a great deal. After I made the appt., they called to see if it was okay for me to have a male therapist. I said that was fine. On appt. day, I came 10-15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. And then I sat for a long time. I didn't mind the wait too much, it's just that somebody should have explained what was going on and that there would be a delay. I actually think they were scrambling to find a therapist. Shortly after my appt. time was to start, they guided me back to change and took me to the small waiting room. (It's fine not the sort of plush spa that you normally get for a $130 massage). I waited another five or ten minutes. Then fifteen. Then twenty. I got up to get my phone out of the locker to check the time. I started to wonder if I had my appt. time wrong. Again, the wait wouldn't be bad if they explained it and/or offered up saunas or steam room or something, but they don't have those amenities. As I walked to the front to ask what was going on, I was intercepted by a woman who spoke no English and seemed to be pointing me to a room. I asked if they were ready and she seemed to try to indicate they had been cleaning the room. I was surprised when the same woman gave me the massage (only because I had been told it would be a male). The service was supposed to be for a choice of two massages. She never asked which I wanted (I don't think she understood English). Nor did she ask about pressure, sore points, the normal questions. I got a basic massage and it was fine. Certainly no complaint for the $45 Groupon cost. But I would have been pretty miffed it I had paid $130 for it. I think, but am not sure, that one of the ladies offered me champagne as I was leaving. But I wasn't sure I understood her correctly and declined whatever it was she was offering. When they have a Groupon customer, I view it as their chance to make a great impression to bring the person back. While there was nothing wrong with this experience, and I'm okay with it for $45, I would not go out of my way to return -- as there are places much closer to my house that provide a better experience. read more

Had a spa day with our daughter on her birthday. We had a good time and enjoyed ARIA services very much. They delivered awesome services and their lunch was delicious and healthy. read more

I first visited Aria the latter part of 2014 for a massage special purchased through Groupon. I was impressed with the cleanliness and overall atmosphere of the spa. Tasha was my massage therapist and I have to say it was about the best massage I've ever had and I've been having regular massages for over 15 years. I had also purchased a treatment package to include a mini-facial, Venik treatment, and massage. I returned for this package on 1/15/2015. Sara performed the Venik and massage. The Venik is an interesting treatment, but not for sissies. Sara stayed in the room throughout the treatment in case I needed to bail out before the allotted time. I was extremely appreciative of this. Sara's massage was very good, but Tasha's style suits me better. However, I would recommend either of these therapists. I have somewhat mixed feelings about the facial done by Navan. The facial itself was satisfactory, but at the end, Navan used a template to apply powder to my brows (which are very blonde) and the result looked ridiculous. The painted on brows weren't even where my real brows are. There was a break in between treatments. The relaxation room is comfortable where I was served fruit, tea, and champagne. Overall this was a great experience; I would purchase another package as the package discounts are such a fabulous deal. When I was checking out I was offered a package of 5 massages at a discount which I purchased. I returned on 3/24/2015 for the first massage of the package I purchased. I booked my session with Tasha. She remembered me from months ago. She was sure to ask me about any problem areas and if there was any part of the massage I wanted to leave out. During the massage she checked in to make sure I was doing okay. I was totally relaxed following the session. I would highly recommend Tasha for massage. My fourth visit to Aria was 4/1/2015. This was for a body scrub. Zula performed this procedure. Zula checked to make certain the scrub was not too harsh. She also checked to make sure I was not cold. I felt really taken care of. Once the scrub was completed, I moved to another bed where lotion was applied and I was all wrapped up so it could soak in. While that was processing, Zula did not leave me alone. I got a wonderful scalp massage and foot massage. At the end, I was so relaxed I could barely do anything else the rest of the day. It was just wonderful and my skin was so smooth. Aria is now my go-to spa. Look for their specials online. read more

One of my best facials. Elena is excellent and uses top of the line products. I enjoyed every second of the facial and my face feels so clean and refreshed. I highly recommend this location at least for facials and definitely request Elena. The Spa is very nice and clean. The provide ropes and a locker room to leave your things secure and take a shower afterwards. Not many Spa offer such amenities. They also have a waiting area that is really nice and relaxing with delicious tea or lemon/lime water. Perfect for in between services. I definitely enjoyed my visit and facial at Aria. I plan to go back and try their massages and body services. read more

I originally tried Aria Medispa through a Groupon deal. I've now been back again and have an appointment this afternoon! I have never seen such great results! I joked that I couldn't answer my friend's phone call because I was too busy looking at myself in the mirror! She's convinced and also has an appointment for the ultra peel. I'm hooked. read more

Had a really bad laser experience with burns. Also, when you first walk in, they demand a photo, which is really weird and I didn't appreciate. read more

I went here because I bought a groupon. I got a Swedish massage by Elliot and I LOVED it. He was just fantastic. I highly recommend him. It's a bit expensive without a groupon but it's worth it. The facilities are really clean. They give you a robe and slippers. They have a nice waiting room with tea and water. The massage beds are nice and warm. And Elliot used aroma therapy and that smelled so nice. And he placed wet warm towels on me that felt nice. Overall a great experience. read more

I had an AMAZING afternoon at Aria medispa. My husband treated me to a whole spa package for my birthday and every service I received was 5 star. The decor of the spa puts you into the relaxing mode, it is very luxurious looking as well. The body scrub, massage, herbal sauna treatment, and facial were all unforgettable, I will be returning soon and will have a girls spa day next time with my friends because they have great referral promotions. read more
