Gaia is not a Spavelous Spa, and the reviews on them are out dated. Here are the reviews:


I've been a client of this salon since they moved to downtown Schererville from Merrillville. All of the stylists are wonderful, would recommend anyone. Love the Aveda products. Janet

Any opinions on Radiance Salon & Rejuvenation Spa in Ashburn, VA?

Here are some reviews on The Radiance Salon & Spa in Ashburn. These reviews have not been authenticated, they were submitted on line.


I have been to this salon four times, all with the same hair stylist, and each time I've gotten a consistently great haircut and highlights. The first time I went, my color wasn't exactly as I wanted it, so I went back, the stylist redid it to my satisfaction, and didn't charge me. I have also had two eyebrow waxing there, each time with a different technician, and both times the tech was friendly and personable and did a great job.


Front desk staff is painful but once you get past that, the massage therapists are all very good. I cringe when I have to call in to set an appointment because the staff is so painfully rude, it is almost unbearable. If the therapists weren't so great, I would definitely look for another place to go


I had the laser treatment for bikini line. It worked great, and I finally feel confident. I had a great relationship with the technician.

The salon provides a great ambiance and great service for hair, nails, facials, etc... However, I found this to NOT be true for their laser hair removal treatment; quite the opposite, actually. I got the six recommended treatments done, and at the end had awful results; with much more facial hair than I had prior to having any treatment. Yet, when I spoke to the person who had provided the treatments, she attributed the results to hormonal changes and recommended that I buy more treatments. Awful. I should have left it to a professional, and recommend you do the same.


I went the Radiance for the first time on a gift certificate, and I found it to be the best salon and spa in the area. Not only did I get an excellent hair cut and style from a stylist who teaches color to Elizabeth Arden, but I had a relaxing massage.


They call themselves a rejuvenation spa. There is even a plastic surgeon who performs botox, laser hair removal and facial cleansing facials. That is my next step.


I was even greeted by a girl who asked whether she could go get a Robek Smoothie for me. Nobody else around here compares


Excellent customer service, wonderful massage, and friendly staff. Exactly how I expect to be treated. Big thumbs up.

Although the employees are attentive and make for a relaxing experience, this strip mall spa lacks the experience and style of higher end boutiques.

I wasn't sure about getting Botox at a salon and spa but my sister convinced me to go for a free consultation. I met with a Physician's Assistant named Sarah, and she totally put my mind at ease. This is not one of those "Botox parties" that everyone warns you to stay away from. This is a professional medical spa that just happens to look a lot nicer and feel more welcoming than a doctor's office. I would definitely recommend it to my friends --- except then they would know that I do Botox!

This Is What Ashburn Was Missing!


I am so grateful that there is finally an upscale salon and spa in my neighborhood --- and I no longer have to schlep to Tyson's to get my hair done. In the last few months, I've become a "regular," especially since I keep learning about services that I've never seen in a salon before --- like Botox and IPL. I tried Radiance for its convenience, but I'm a "regular" because they get it. And it doesn't hurt that they serve beer and wine either!


I've been a Radiance customer since the salon opened, mostly coming in for a hair cut every 6 weeks, but I have also gotten massages, waxes, and madi/pedis. Radiance is a superbly maintained salon and spa with a very polite and well-trained staff. Radiance is one of the few salons I have been to that provides high level services without being "snooty": it has an extremely friendly atmosphere. My haircuts are always perfect, exactly what I ASKED for, NOT what I was talked into. (My stylist takes the time to ask me how I want my hair styled after I get it washed and cut instead of just drying it and sending me on my way - something that doesn't happen at the HairCuttery down the street). I have only treated myself to one massage at Radiance, but the experience was wonderful, my masseuse extremely professional and friendly, and it left me rejuvenated and relaxed. Also - it might sound crazy - but every eyebrow wax I have ever gotten at Radiance has been nearly PAIN-FREE (don't ask me how they do it - it is amazing!). The women who do the waxing are absolute geniuses and always check with me along the way to make sure I am pleased with the shape of my brows! My mani-pedis have always been great and usually last a very long time so I only need to do minimal touch-ups in between. Perhaps the only downside to the salon and spa is the price - while I am willing to pay the extra $$$ for their marvelous hair cuts and nail services, I see no point in forking over $40+ for bottles of shampoo and conditioner. It is a pain to be pestered to purchase said items after a few relaxing hours. Still, this is without a doubt the very best salon and spa in Ashburn and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to be pampered!
