I was super nervous but Laini reassured me that it would be easier than I thought. She was super patient with my nerves, which I appreciate so much. And she was right!!

I'm coming in again and am going to try waxing underarms and legs, because she's SAFE for first timers in any area. I just hope my husband doesn't see how much money I'm spending

Aura Spa is a quality spa inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard without breaking the bank. Here's…read morewhy I enjoyed it: 1) Location: It's inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard. Check in at the gym front desk and head straight back through the door that says "Aura Spa." There's street and garage parking nearby and a metro only blocks away. 2) Price: For a 60-minute quality massage in a nice environment, it only cost $115 not including tip. For this area, that's not bad. 3) Experience: It was a great experience. They made sure you stay hydrated, don't make you wait, and don't talk to you during the massage so you can relax.

Let me preface by saying there are two entrances to VIDA fitness, one facing 4th Street SE, and the…read moremain doors/entrance where the spa is, faces Tingey Street SE (basically just around the corner!). See photo attached for entrance to the spa. I came here because I pulled my shoulder and it hurt to bend, turn, lay down, sit up, and basically everything else. I saw Agnes and she was amazing. She was attentive and gentle but still got the job done. The inside was so calm, and the ambience was relaxing and chill. I definitely felt pampered. I scheduled my appointment last night and was able to get in today. I have another appointment later this week since my massage therapist back home said to wait 5-7 days if you're getting a massage for a targeted area/for muscle pain, but I will definitely come here again! Another Yelper said $115/60 mins is great for Navy Yard, and while I think I could find less elsewhere, Agnes was worth it and I cant wait to go again. I felt immediate relief in my shoulder, and she even worked out knots in my lower back. She provided a full body massage (head, neck, shoulders, back, lower back, glutes, legs) and I left feeling like a new person.

I've been going to her for over 6 months now, and after every appointment I leave feeling more confident than when I walked in. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she truly takes her time to understand what works best for your face shape and personal style. My brows have never looked better--clean, natural, and consistently shaped every single visit. She pays attention to the smallest details and never makes me feel rushed. What really sets Priyanka apart is her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for her clients. It's rare to find someone who is both highly skilled and makes the entire experience so comfortable and enjoyable. At this point, I refuse to go anywhere else or trust anyone else with my eyebrows. If you're looking for an eyebrow artist who is talented, consistent, and passionate about what she does, Priyanka is the one. I cannot recommend her enough, and I'm so grateful I found her!

The owner and Master Esthetician Christina is an amazing lady who takes pride in her work! I love that she is thoughtful and explains the process before she continues with each service. Christina has so much experience and knowledge in this field that I trust her recommendations and judgments during my services. It was also seamless using the Vagaro app to book appointments with Christina and email/text updates to prepare for the appointment! Located in the Capitol Hill area of DC, this cute studio is on the Lower Level Pennsylvania Ave building. It can be a lite tricky to access and Christina provides thorough information with pictures to enter her studio. The studio is decorated with white/gold accents and displays the niche products she uses for her services. Services: -Brow Lamination/Sculpt/Tint: this was my first time getting my eyebrows laminated, sculpted, and tinted. I was a little nervous about my appointment and Christina made my experience comfortable. For any new clients you have to fill out paperwork and then there is a quick consult where Christina asks for your preference and expectations. Then you walk into the studio room where you lay on the spa table. The pillows for my head and legs were so comfortable I wanted to fall asleep lol Christina first cleaned my brows and then mapped my brow shape from my facial structure and alignment. Christina meticulously maps out my brow shape with her ruler and sketches this out. She explained the reasons for how she shaped my brows and provides a mirror for me to confirm the shape. After she cleaned up my brows and processed/structured my brows the last step was tinting my brows. Christina gave me an ombré tint to match my hair color. I loved the look of my brows and the knowledge Christina shared with me during our sessions! She's so personable and detail oriented that made me feel so comfortable to explore more sessions like her facials the next time. In the end, I received an aftercare bag with cotton pads, spoolies, brow oil, and aftercare instructions. I cannot wait to come back for another brow session and maybe add a facial as well!

Now I'm being serviced by a lady who doesn't know how to do anything. My nails are naturally long and I only do dip and design and every tech always wants me to do the gel because it's faster for them to service. Absolutely not I tried once and all my nails broke off, I can't do gel or acrylic. I tip her well because she takes her time and I have headphones in the whole service, but to lie to me, the only reason I can assume is due to how long the service takes. Service was great until now, they've lost a client!
