A unique and peaceful place. Not a stranger to the spa world, I decided to find out the big talk about Varuna. I heard about Varuna from a couple of friends of mine who are regular customers; they are always talking about how wonderful the services are there. So I decided to check it out with receiving a facial.... Upon entering you are greeted with friendly staff, servicing you some sort of herbal tea that was very tasty and a heated neck wrap and was escorted by to a quiet neutral area where I was introduced to Vonda ( a esthetician there). I loved the entire experience there from beginning to end. My facial was so calming ,I immediately felt so comfortable that I fell asleep. She has such a nurturing touch and I love the fact that she took the time to answer my questions and jotted down a few recommendations to help me with my skin. The best experience ever! read more

MY FAVORITE SPA! I am now a fan of Varuna (aveda). Friendly people, helpful staff, wonderful setting, outstanding service and good energy. My service there was just what the doctor ordered. I was seen by Vonda. She performed my facial and waxing service. During the facial, she spoke softly (which helped me to relax), she educated me on the products and it's benefits and made me feel very comfortable. The waxing was so relaxing, I honestly didnt notice that I was receiving a waxing. Yes, it was just that calming. I am so happy with my results and I felt great. Perfect from beginning to end. If you are ever in the area, stop by and try out the spa services there. I recommend Vonda, she is GREAT! read more

I recently visited Varuna and my experience there was not at all what I would have expected. I came across Varuna, while searching for a Aveda Spa within my area. I read the reviews and thought tha this spa sounds like a winner. Unfortunately, I was in a waiting battle, the staff did not check on me not even once. The staff was loud, with speaking of non business related activities. There was this one female who seemed to be under the influence of something. Over all, I just wanted to get the heck out of there, but my husband brought me this gift card, so I stayed and tried to enjoy what little peace or patience that I had.. Varuna NOT! read more

Chris R. has added art to Aveda hair color! After my first visit today, I am a new regular customer. He understood exactly what I wanted and the color matched a hair piece so perfectly that a picture couldn't distinguish between the two. He has a great background and is experienced, though new to Varuna Aveda. He is worth a long trip to be thrilled with the results. He's got a gentle touch and gives a great scalp massage. He's great with make-up too with an eye for color and application to accent or diminish features. I left feeling younger and prettier. ( He's also a nice guy and fun to talk with!) read more

I've been getting my hair done last couple times by Meaghan B. and she does an amazing job! She gave me an awesome cut (didn't take too much off) and she just recently touched up my grown out bayalage and made it Fall ready. She's a great listener and makes suggestions when you ask her opinion, plus she has a contagious laugh and every visit with her is fun and relaxing! If you've ever been to an Aveda salon than you know there are no cons. It's professional, relaxing, friendly, and the products smell amazing. Would highly recommend this location as well as Meaghan as a colorist/stylist. read more

I have nothing but good experiences at the spa. I recommend this spa to everyone. Vonda does the best eyebrow wax in Annapolis. She takes the time to listen to what you want, instead of trying to give you what she wants. She also does my facials,and other spa services as well. She ensures that I am in total relaxation, she speaks softly when explaining to me the products that she uses and its benefits without disturbing my peace. I like the fact that she has a nurturing way to her treatments that allows me to feel comfortable and free. Thank you Vondaa! I will see you soon. read more

I received a gift certificate to the spa and used it for a facial, haircut, and makeup application. I was so happy with everything. I have ridiculously thick hair and am so excited to have been introduced to Chris R., who gave me the second best blow dry I have had in my life. The first was with a stylist who came a career doing hair at runway model fashion shows in NYC. I have never experienced someone as talented until I met Chris R. yesterday...so thrilled he is in Annapolis of all places! read more

False Advertising. I am a small business owner and false advertising is illegal. If you look at Varuna Aveda SalonSpa's website you will notice that at the bottom of the screen it gives a 20% discount for all hair services on Monday's and Tuesday's. The truth is, they will only offer this discount to a new customer and yet they refuse to change their website and make it appear that anyone can receive that discount. False advertising. No thank you. I will go elsewhere. read more

Lucia has MAGICAL hands! I went in for a massage with reiki and a facial and came out glowing (both energetically and visually)! The atmosphere in the salon and spa made me feel comfortable walking through the door, and the staff was super friendly. They even offered me a cup of tea when I checked in which I thought was a nice touch. I highly recommend booking a service here if you are in need of some relaxation and rejuvenation, I already booked my next visit! read more

I had my hair cut and colored with Gina. She was so amazing - she listened to my complicated hair needs and delivered exactly what I wanted. The salon itself is gorgeous. The staff is very friendly and their Covid precautions made me feel very safe. It has been a journey to get to a place where I love my hair and I can honestly tell you that Varuna is hands down the best in Annapolis. Can't wait to go back. read more

I used Varuna Salon for hair and makeup for my wedding for myself and my bridesmaids. They were very accommodating (they let us basically take over the place, bringing in snacks and having friends and family stop by). Their prices were fair, and when one of my bridesmaids was dissatisfied with her hairstyling, they offered full compensation. Everyone else was pleased with their hair and makeup. read more

My first time here. The first thing we were offered when we walked in was Tea! Never have I been offered tea at a salon. That was a nice touch. The aveda products they used on my hair was great! The stylist that did my hair, did an awesome job!! I love my new do :) I would recommend varuna salon spa to a friend. I'll be going back for sure :) read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else! I always book my appointment with Hannah F. (Bean). She is so sweet and does a fantastic job on my hair. I love the color and highlights. And her blowouts are the best! read more

Great Experience My stylist was extremely good Aveda has awesome products too

Don't waste your time getting facials here. Very bad service and attitude.
