Aura Day Spa

We had a bachelorette spa afternoon here and they were amazing. Tina, the manager, was more than accomodating. Ha is a fantastic masseuse. And the women who got their nails done looked fantastic!

I’m obsessed with Pampering-​by-​Nails! Just looove getting my nails done. So, I’m an expert at identifying nail salons/​spas that are worth the dollar and time– Aura Day Spa is that place! I got my nails done by Amy and she was wonderful! I agree with other reviewers that Amy makes you feel more like a friend than a client. She did an amazing job on my pedicure! Highly recommend the spa pedicures… I had the Peppermint. One word– AMAZING!!!
She also started my manicure while Tina finished everything up. Although they addressed my very dry skin, I wasn’t as impressed with the way Amy filed my nails– they’re all slanted. I also prefer Tina to Amy on how my nails were painted. I would recommend them both though, and think I’ll be more comfy with addressing these things with them as our relationship grows. Cause, I’m definitely returning :-)
All-​in-​all, the ambiance, décor, design (loooove the manicure tables), products, customer service, and color selection are top notch here! I would honestly trust any of the technicians with my nails. Check them out ;-)

I have been trying to look for a decent nail place around the area from where I work. A patient recommended I check this place out as this place is clean. Tina was great very personable and was very meticulous with making my nails perfect. The salon is beautiful very modern. I will come back and try SNS next time.

I was looking for a new salon and I and happy to say I have found my new one. Being allergic to acrylic I am required to use gel or silks. Silks are just not strong enough and the UV lighting for gels concerns me. When I arrived Tina explained to me what SNS Nails are and I couldn’t be more excited about my new nails. Organic product with vitamins and calcium and no smelly chemicals or UV lights required. The spa itself if absolutely beautiful and I am anxious to go back not only for fills, but to try their other offered services. Thank you Tina for my nails and the great conversation.

I LOVE Aura Day Spa. I’ll never go anywhere else. Tina and Amy are the best and they offer SNS, which lasts for nearly a month and looks amazing.

Just popped in for a mani-​pedi and I’m so glad I did. Amy did a fantastic job. I wish I had tried Aura out earlier. I’ll definitely be back.

As recommended by Tina, I had a beautiful SNS manicure today with tips. It looks so natural, and I have never had such beautiful hands! This is a beautiful, relaxing spa, and Tina was just lovely. This was a perfect treat for a rainy, dreary day!

I have SEARCHED for a nail shop that does great SNS nails in the area for 2 years. I found Aura Day Spa about 3 months ago and won’t be going anywhere else. I live in Woodbridge and happily drive 45 minutes to receive the best nail care I’ve ever experienced.
The shop itself is beautiful and extremely clean. There’s always soft music on and the overall atmosphere is relaxing. I highly recommend Tina– I’ve been seeing her since day one and love her personality. I also love Amy, who’s often at the front desk. Both Amy and Tina are friendly and make me feel like more like a friend than a customer and I appreciate that.
Unlike other shops in the area, the shop isn’t constantly busy but it depends on the day you visit. I’ve come in during busier times on the weekends and during the week and never had an issue. I personally prefer to make appointments because I have to drive so far to get here.
Overall, I LOVE Aura Day Spa and happily recommend them to any and everyone looking for top of the line nail and spa services.

So after reading the reviews on Unilocal,I figured this would be a nice place to go to since I have the sns nail system on my nails. The shop is also close to work. Boy was I wrong. I went in and the shop was empty. EMPTY! The lady who greeted me was nice but when she went to ask another lady about doing my nails, the lady was like, «no, you have to make an appointment.» I looked around the shop and mind you, they were not busy. (EMPTY!!) With a confused look, I said «ok, even though you take walk ins?» (There’s a sign on the door) The lady made up some lame excuse about how busy they were with appointments. Must have been ghosts. Maybe they just didn’t want my green money. I’m not sure.

Love. This. Place.
I came in last Thursday for a gel manicure but stressed my nails are brittle and i bite. Immediately they gave me best options and talked through differences and pricing– super easy to understand too (no confusing gimmicks) I am skin cancer prone so I hate the uv light on my hand for gel and it smelled so chemically in the past.
so I opted for the sns which is «all natural» powder you dip your hands into (no uv) it sets as she puts on the last coat of clear polish almost instantly so no smudges– with added acrylic tips to make my nails appear longer and I am now a week into having them and they look and feel great.
I would highly recommend this salon not only cause it’s new and clean but because I’ve never had someone take the time to explain the difference between nail options and felt i was really taken care of.
I’ll be back for sure!

One of the best mani /​pedi’s I have had. Super clean salon with a fresh modern aesthetic. The team is very friendly and worked to efficiently provide services. It was completely relaxing and the prices are reasonable for this area and the level of service provided.
I have had a hard time finding a nail salon that I would regularly go to for one reason or another — but I will be back to Aura — I highly recommend!

Quality manicure and pedicure, staff is great, thorough, professional. Décor relaxing & well done. Very clean. Highly recommend.

One of the best pedicures for the money! Very relaxing environment and friendly/​knowledgeable staff.

So glad I found this place! I came here with my mom to get our nails done before my wedding and it was amazing! Clean, friendly staff, relaxing, and our nails turned out great. Won’t be going anywhere else in Arlington to get my nails done, definitely recommend!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I grew up in NOVA so have been to countless salons in the area, and I can honestly say that this is without a doubt the best salon/​spa i have been to. As some of the other reviews mentioned, the ladies here give THE best manicures and pedicures, are perfectionists, and are so incredibly sweet and friendly. They offer a wide array of services, from nails and waxing to massages and facials. The space itself is impeccably clean with modern and elegant décor, and the pedicure chairs are to die for. They also offer SNS nail services, which are difficult to find in this area (if you’ve never tried SNS — TRY IT! — you will be hooked!). I cannot say enough great things about this place!

The ladies here are attentive, good at their jobs, and will make sure that you leave happy.

AMAZING! I will not go anywhere else now that I have found Aura Day Spa. Please do yourself a favor and get yourself a mani/​pedi (at the very least). You will be so pleased with the quality of service and attention to detail. By the way, the pedicure leg massages are unreal. So relaxing!

This new salon and spa is my new favorite! The facility is extremely clean and provides a relaxing atmosphere. The staff is friendly and ensure you are comfortable. The simplistic décor, white and gray walls and semi-​circular manicure tables are very pleasing to the eye and calming for the mind. Both times I’ve visited I got a gel mani and pedicure. They have a bunch of different options for pedicures like a green tea treatment. Definitely go and check out aura because you will not be disappointed.

This is the best nail spa! I’ve never heard of this new SNS nail technique before going here and I LOVE it!!! You dip your nail in this powder that is the actual color so your nails come out SO natural. Not like the acrylic that makes your nails so thick. Also, it’s supposed to be healthier for your nails and no UV light, however it still dries super fast.

LOVE this place. The staff are all genuinely sweet and they care. They are well put together and very up to date on the latest trends and methods of service. Tina was a perfectionist and informed me of my service before I committed. She wanted to make sure everything she did was what I was looking for. This salon also has the SNS nail service which is hard to find!
Back to Tina… she is extremely intelligent and creative also an interior designer too! I found exactly what I was looking for and it was walking distance away
