Actually this is for the Centreville location that moved to Gainesville, VA. The nail techs use to be so much better, but the quality now has suffered. Now what use to be worth it to drive miles to just get a pedicure and manicure, is simply not anymore. "So disappointed..."... ~faithful customer read more

I actually work out at lifetime, but I never even thought to try their salon. I was in desperate need of a hair stylist so I looked up reviews on here and saw everyone talking about Lydia Joo, so I made an appointment to try her out for a hair cut. She uses a dry cutting technique where she washes, dries, then flat irons your hair then cuts it. I absolutely loved how it turned out. I booked another appointment to do a balayage ombré with her (before and after pictures attached). It took almost 4 hours and is a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. She uses a product called oliplex which helps prevent the damage from bleach. My hair was almost black and she was able to lift it to a beautiful ash blonde without damaging it! (If you have dark hair and have ever put bleach on it then you know how harsh it can be). She toned with like 3 different toners to get all the orange out. LOVE the final product. read more

I cannot emphasis how satisfied I am with Lydia Joo. The color in my hair was fading so I wanted to dye it again, vibrantly. I've been in the area for a while and tried a lot of different hair stylists, but Lydia has by far been the best. I went to her after looking at reviews, and she did NOT disappoint. She was fast and efficient compared to others (I thought I'd be at the salon ALL day, but I was only there for a couple of hours. Understandable for what I wanted.) Not only was my hair self bleached multiple times, but it was also colored multiple times as well. It also was cut in a way that the bottom half of my head was shaved. However, none of this hindered Lydia. My hair is actually healthier, and her styling skills have gotten me multiple compliments from random strangers. I haven't loved my hair like this in years! Like other reviews stated, she also advised me about my style and home care. She suggested I also add in highlights so my roots don't show so obviously since I had bleached my entire head. She also recommended hair products to keep my hair healthy. read more

If you only see 1 hairstylist the rest of your life...go see Lydia. I have been having my hair cut by Lydia for the past decade, and whether you want something natural and professional or something edgy and cool she can do it all. I always go to Lydia with a concept of what I think I want, and Lydia can craft the entire cut and how to color so I always achieve the best results. I've had the following services from Lydia and have always received great compliments for the great skill my hair looks like it takes: balayage, all over highlights, ombre, Japanese straightening, keratin straightening, color fix. I never worry my hair color won't turn out correctly - Lydia is the master. Most recently got my hair colored a beautiful black with purplish-blue undertones and highlights. Lydia then added some dark brown low lights as well to bring out all the colors. I wanted to look edgy without going too out of the box and look tacky, and Lydia hit the nail on the head. I've gotten the most compliments yet! Thank you Lydia! My hair is one less thing I have to worry about when I see you! read more

For some reason, it appears that I placed my review in a "duplicate" business. So below is my original review for LifeSpa with Lydia Joo. I just had my haircut again and she is still so great and happier in her new location. Go see her! Lydia Joo from Creative Hair Salon is here!! When I learned she was no longer at the other salon, I panicked because she is the first person in NoVa that actually cut my hair right in my 13 years of living here. Luckily Google helped me find her from her FaceBook account and I was happy to find her. The cool thing is that you don't have to be Lifetime member to go to this salon. In fact, going here allows you to workout for free for the 1st 24 hours after your appointment and access to the daycare center for those that have kiddos to keep in mind. My experience there was lovely as I was served cucumber water, which was a nice surprise. And Lydia of course, was as delightful as ever as her assistant came along there with her. Plus, you don't have to have cash to tip which is a nice plus. I first went with Lydia because of all the amazing reviews she received on Yelp from Creative Salon. So for those of you that are missing her, she would be ecstatic to see you at Life Spa! read more

It looks like I've already been beaten to it, but Lydia Joo moved over here from a salon nearby and i would absolutely recommend her above all other stylists in the Centreville area.. She's not just some kind of amazing elite, master stylist, not just with both cut and color, but she's also a fantastic human being and your haircut will be genuinely fun.. No doubt. It was a little awkward going to the gym to get a haircut, but the salon is literallly ~70degrees left when you walk in the door. I'm upset that i missed her name, but Lydia is so great she even brought her awesome assistant with her to lifetime.. I won't bag on another salon, but they're not treating her properly, and trading in her name and messing with her client list, which is super uncool. I have no dog in this race.. I just love Lydia and y'all will too.. i have so much faith in her, i basically say "fix this" and its always fantastic and worth the money. Shes fixed bad haircuts.. She's turned my destroyed hilarious bad bleach job back into perfect brown that matched my new hair perfectly. And i have a different color hair every week.. she's never judgmental, just really fun and great at her job. DO call over to lifetime fitness or whatever terrible name they are using like "life spa medispa spa" and ask for Lydia.. Tell her crazy Jen sent you and you might get an extra hug with your fantastic haircut :) read more

LifeSpa Centreville - Not good at selfies.. It's a great cut for a silly bleach head.. Diagonal bangs lots of choices.. I got compliments all night.. - Hair Salons Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

I planned to wait till I got back to Singapore to get a haircut and redo my colour. However, after 2 months in Fairfax, my fringe was driving me nuts and I was tired of playing shaggy dog. After reading reviews of various salons in the vicinity, I thought I'd take a bet on Lydia Joo. That worked out great as she's truly as the other reviewers described: thoughtful, caring and professional. Why do I say this? She assesses your hair and gives suggestions based on your best interests and not what's most expedient / expensive. 8 weeks is the longest time I'd gone without a haircut and since my hair was previously bleached a couple of times, the ends were dry. She cut away the dry ends, added some layers for more movement and volume. She blended a colour that fit my skin tone. My female friends loved the photo that I posted after my haircut but my bf thought I'd just rolled out of bed with my wind-tousled look. Yep, some inches of hair fell off while I was sleeping and I woke up looking like this. :P read more

My girl Erin now works at Life Spa at Lifetime Fitness, and she is the best. I have followed her whenever she has relocated, she is that good. The atmosphere at Life Spa is relaxing and fun.

I decided to pamper myself for my New Year resolution. I had a facial, massage and got my nails done for the first week of the month. The facial and massage went nice. Joanna is really good. And both women were friendly and accommodating. But then I went and got my nails done with Trish. Wow, I have never dealt with someone more rude and condescending. She didnt look or talk to me the entire time. The only time she talked to me was when I asked for ombre nails and she told me my nails are too short. And no they are not. You can make it work on any nail, but she was just too lazy. She would roll her eyes when I would say something, so I stayed silent. The black nail filed she used on me was white because of all the residue from other people's nails. She seems to not know much about nail trends. She didnt even use a a base on my nail and went right for the gel polish. My polish was so thick that all my nails started cracking sooner than I have ever ever experienced. My nails are all cracked and dry because she didnt use any base and now they look awful. She also had her daughter just sitting right behind her the whole time. Her mind was somewhere else. She also used an emery board on me that was old and was black but it had white residue allover of nail residue from other customers. Using the emery board more than once on a customer is ILLEGAL. I would think Lifetime would hold a higher standard, but you might as well go to those cheaper places because they both have foul practices. read more

Lydia Joo can work some serious magic. I had a hard time finding a stylist that can cut and style my hair to my liking. I'm actually from Chicago, but I went down to Virginia to visit my family. After reading some reviews, I checked out the LifeSpa because I was in dire need of a haircut. Lydia was able to cut and style my long, thick, and damaged hair with beautiful results. I received tons of compliments from friends back in Chicago. I can definitely tell a difference in my hair as it is much easier to manage and take care of. I'm so glad that I was able to meet a stylist who could style my hair with such patience and care. I look forward to seeing Lydia again when I visit Virginia. Thanks Lydia for everything! read more

LifeSpa Centreville - Chrome Nails!! Beautiful! - Hair Salons Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

LYDIA JOO is a GEM! Recently relocated from Colorado and have not had a chance to do my hair for close to a year. Long (almost down to waist) crazy color, highlights, and dead-ends. It was a mess. Yelp reviews have been hit or miss, but these reviews about Lydia are right on. She transformed my mess into a clean, shiny, shoulder length, ash brown hair that looks and feels awesome! I also took my sick mom who is recovering from a stroke. My mom's speech was effected by a stroke and she talks very slow and had a hard time pronouncing some words. Lydia was very patient with her and listened to what she has to say and provided her with a few clear choices. Mom absolutely loves her perm and cut. Lydia truly loves what she does and it shows. She is a pleasant conservationist, attentive, thorough, and detail-oriented stylist to say the least. We met as a customer and a stylist; after 4 hours later, I left feeling like I made a friend. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Lydia Joo is the most reliable hair stylist in the area. I only trust her to do my color, cut and maintenance between styles. She understand how the latest hair trend can translate best with your hair texture and condition. She's helped me condition my hair back to a healthy state after some previous damaging looks from other hair stylists while I lived out of state. She really listens to you when you go through your consultation so you don't have to worry about ending up with a style you didn't expect. Her skills and expertise is a blessing for the Centreville area and especially LifeSpa. read more

Lydia Joo is the only hairstylist you will need from now on. She is a good friend of mine's mom, but she is definitely cooler and more hip than I am. She just saw only a few photos that I pulled from the internet, and knew exactly what do for my hair. I had really long full hair, but had no movement or flair to it. She was even able to thin out my mane, and was able to let me keep my length, but without the neck pain. If you want to treat yourself to a wonderful haircut, and as well as awesome service, I highly recommend Lydia Joo!!! read more

I finally got the opportunity to have Lydia work on my hair. I've been in Nova for 9+ years desperately seeking a stylist I can trust. She took the time to speak to me about what I wanted and made recommendations. I was very happy with the outcome. She truly lives up to her title of 'Elite Master Stylist'. I loved the color she chose and the cut was easy to maintain. She ended the session thanking me for providing her the opportunity to work on my hair. Who does that? :) I would totally recommend her for anyone who is looking for a stylist. There was a little mistake when I was checking out and I didn't get to tip her as much as I'd like but I will make it up to her next time. read more

Based on the reviews here, I went to see Lydia first time today. I can't be happier! I had this horrible haircut from some other hair dresser, and I desperately needed help. As I tell her what I wanted, she says she's not a magician, but at the end what she did to my hair was truly magic! She transformed my hair that is a mix of blunt cut, uneven layers and chopped bangs into nicely shaped bob! Also caramel colored balayage added a beautiful dimension to the style. My hair is only shoulder length, but the whole process took about 3 hours. Lydia was very attentive and thorough, and I appreciate she took time to make sure I get what I wanted. I highly recommend her to anyone. read more

I have been going to Lydia for more than 20 years, I love her work and always leave happy after every appointment. When Lydia moved to LifeSpa I had to drive 45 minutes to an hour in traffic. I still came because she is a great hair stylist. The one reason I really didn't enjoy being at the spa was the inside temperature. It would be freezing while I got my hair color done. I remember many of other clients complained and nothing was done. I can't believe that they were not able to fix the AC/heating unit. The LifeSpa definitely lost a great employee because of this issue. I hope that she does great at Zoe Salon in Fairfax. read more

I went to Lydia for the first time a few months ago when she was at another salon. Loved her work so much, so decided to make another appointment with her. But when I looked on Yelp to get the number for the salon, I discovered through other loyal followers that she was no longer there! I then went into panic mode because it's so difficult to find a great stylist that will actually deliver exactly what you ask for. I kept reading the reviews & then, finally! Thank goodness to the reviewer, it was posted where Lydia went. I then immediately made my appointment here & could not be happier. Thank you, Lydia!! You're a magician! read more

Point blank: Trish Tran is to nails what Einstein was to relativity. She knows her sh*t. When I find someone like that (and I'm incredibly picky) I stick with her, stalk her & follow her. She has such a large & loyal following that getting an appointment last minute can be impossible. But, no matter how busy I've been, I wouldn't trust my nails to anyone else just because I'm desperate. Without fail, no matter what picture I show her of what I want her to recreate, she smiles & says "No Problem!". I've been going to her for YEARS, so I know what I'm talking about. Attaching pics of my new 'hologram' nails done today. Again, recreating a picture. They start off with this iridescent white gel color, & then she does something magical with a sponge looking thing & silver stuff & VIOLA! read more

When visiting a stylist (especially for a guy) you just want to be able to consistently see someone that allows you to sit down and they know exactly what to do, and how you like to have your hair cut. As someone who gets a haircut every 2 weeks, comfort and confidence in your stylist is very important. For me, this person is Crystal, who I have been seeing for over 2 years (after trying multiple other stylists who never seemed to get it right). So pleased was I with her skills and personality, that I followed her from another salon -- despite the fact that this LifeSpa location is MUCH further away for me -- and I have a standing appointment over a year in advance. Crystal quickly understands what you're looking for, and sincerely appreciates all of her customers. In fact, I have referred a couple of friends to her that were so pleased, that they also have standing appointments with her! If you're new to LifeSpa, do yourself a favor a request Crystal, she's awesome ;) Also, the staff at this location is just stellar in terms of customer service and friendliness. Whether it's Jenn at the front desk, or any of the other staff, I am always greeted with a smile and remembered when I arrive for my appointment. I always feel welcome, and this is important when you consistently give a place your business! read more

I have been coming to Kay for awhile now and have only had positive experiences with her. Kay is the most caring and professional hairstylist out there. Before Kay, my hair was extremely damaged. I went to many other hair salons in the area and was was let down several times. Since I had extremely curly hair, hair stylists used to use harsh chemicals and harmful tactics to try to straighten it. As a result, my hair was damaged, unhealthy and stopped growing. After Kay saw my hair, she recommended treatments such as the Brazilian Blow Out and Keratin treatment in order to retain nutrients and strengthen my hair. Each time, I was more than satisfied with the outcome and left the salon with flawlessly styled hair. Not only does Kay have the expertise to deal with various types of hair, she is warmhearted. She cares a lot about me and always made sure my needs were met. Kay put a lot of time and effort into making sure my hair was exactly what I wanted. Thanks to Kay, my hair is healthy and longer than I could have ever imagined. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! read more

I'm new to the area and I saw this place is near my apartment and has 5 stars so it has to be good, right? I had LONG hair so I booked an appointment to chop it off and I couldn't be happier!

Everyone else in the salon was very nice and welcoming too. I will be coming back. read more

Yep...it's official...LYDIA JOO is THE best hair stylist I have EVER had (& I'm 42 yrs. old!)!!! I was curious to check-out her new home here at LifeSpa Salon-Spa and I was not disappointed! Located right inside the front door at Lifetime Fitness on Trinity Parkway...you know, the big huge fitness gym you can see from I66??...so easy to get to! I loved how nice and sweet everyone was...from booking the appointment with "Jenn" (so professional and I could almost "hear" her smile through the phone!!)...to having my hair washed with "Sue"...and then checking-out was a breeze. LifeSpa even allows me to put my tip on my credit card which I'd not been able to do for Lydia before. A GREAT feature IMO. Also -- and pls. check with the manager on this...but, I *believe* that if you have a service done at the salon (they've got EVERYTHING!) then you are also entitled to a 2-hr pass to the rest of the healthclub! WOO-HOO! Great concept, right?? I saw Lydia from the lobby and when I walked in I was quickly offered a cup of H2O and a nice comfy seat in a big leather sofa/chair to wait. Right on-time Sue arrived and took me back for a nice wash-n-massage. Everything was very clean, modern and comfortable. I noticed while I was waiting they carry AVEDA products and I was THRILLED! I'm quite happy I'm back with a salon which carries AVEDA for me to purchase. And, Lydia used a really cool Bumble&Bumble product on my nice short cut I'm trying out. Thickening Cream I believe it's called...REALLY nice product. I saw Lydia on Sat. Aug 1st -- It was Lydia's first day at her "new place" and I was so happy to get scheduled with her. I even waited a full extra week-n-a-half to get my hair cut b/c I will ONLY get it cut by her now because she has given my hair a cut & shape so flattering and easy to do...no other stylist has EVER done so well. Lydia is a true artist. She is WONDERFUL!!! Sweet, caring, smiles and truly the essence of her name: BIG HAPPY! :-) Can't wait to be back for some more pampering in a few weeks. Do yourself a favor and DEFINITELY check out Lydia Joo @ LifeSpa Salon&Spa inside Lifetime Fitness! read more

Lydia has been cutting my hair for about 4 years and has always does a fantastic job. I have some cowlicks, yet she always manages to cut my hair in a way that looks great from the day it's cut until the next time I get it cut. No one has ever done that before. I highly recommend Lydia for a great mens haircut. read more

Lydia was able to transform my hair from a brassy orange tone to an awesome brown colour that I was hoping to achieve at another salon (which they failed miserably at). Also my hair is very thick and frizzy but Lydia also saved me from that by introducing the keratin treatment to me. I am finally more satisfied/VERY HAPPY with my hair.. I'm happy with the color and the styling that Lydia was able to do for me during my appt. Words cannot describe how happy I am with my new hair. Plus she is very friendly and fun to chat with during the appt. Most stylists I've been to; I had a hard time holding a conversation with but I talked with her almost the entire time. Lydia is my go-to hair stylist now and she will now be the only person I trust with my hair! read more

Lydia is here! I've been her client for a while and she just moved to this location. This salon needs some upgrade, especially shampoo chairs, but she and her trusted assistant make you feel special. Bathroom located in a gym so be prepared. read more

I got a full body wax from here and never again because the blonde lady who serviced me used the same stick and double dipped!!!! I didn't notice until the end or I would've walked out. She also didn't prepare enough hard wax so she ended up using soft wax on most areas including some of the bikini area which left me with burns after. She was very sweet but sanitation is still a priority. I've also gotten two pedicures here only because I had LT bucks. If I didn't I wouldn't invest $52. Its nothing special; you get a foot soak in cool water, the massage chair is messed up so you can't even enjoy that, a little leg scrub, she will pumice your heels for a second, some cream and that's it!!! Of course they clean and give you color but it's a basic pedi that you get somewhere else for $25 and even get a paraffin wax And a chair that works. At another salon I paid $60 and got a clean up, hot stone massage, paraffin wax, mask and scrub! Left with no callus for days. The staff is very friendly but the pedi service is way over priced for what you get and I will never be getting a wax here again due to poor sanitation protocol. Update Got my nails done here for the first time and never have I been so disappointed. The tech and I talked on social media and she said she could do what was in the pic. The stones that I wanted were nothing like what she had. Half way through our appointment she started to rush to get to her next one and the job ended up being a disaster. Sloppy ombre, lumpy nails just a careless job and for $75 I should've left with something decent. Going to another place to fix it. Very frustrating experience. Spoke with the GM and we were able to work something out but I'm hesitant to try more services with this spa. read more

I recently found my new favorite hair stylist at the LifeSpa in Centreville! I got a last minute appointment with LeAnne for cut & color and I'm so happy I chose to go to her. I am no stranger to the industry and I have been that client that stylists dread and I have no complaints. My hair looks awesome. Highlights, lowlights and a great cut (and she actually listened when I said I wanted to keep my length.. they NEVER listen.) I think the prices in comparison to other salons & spas in the area are really fair. Definitely recommend going there! read more

Lydia's title may be 'Elite Master Stylist' but I prefer the more accurate 'Hair Genius.' I followed Lydia from the last salon she was at to LifeSpa and she never disappoints. I searched for 5 years to find a stylist I was comfortable with in VA (I am spoiled and snobby given my experiences in NYC), went through many a mediocre and bad haircut, and now that I've found her, I've let her know that she can never retire! Really though, Lydia is a perfectionist, she's creative, and she has an attention to detail and getting it 'right' for her own satisfaction - she is truly passionate about all things hair and it comes out in her work. This past week I went from brown hair with caramel highlights to being a subtle redhead and I love it! She knows enough about coloring that we were able to make the switch without me worrying about whether it would come out right. I trust her and knew that she wouldn't recommend something that wouldn't be flattering. Besides being a great stylist, the pricing at the spa is very reasonable and the assistants are friendly and helpful. Lydia's also just a fun person to be around; she's funny and sweet and takes a lot of pride in the work she does. I really am dreading the day she retires but I'm hoping we have another 30 years together ;). read more
