I had a wonderful experience at Salon and Spa Vanessa! I attempted to cut my own curtain bangs and naturally, it didn’t work out so I needed a fix. Grace was absolutely amazing and was super patient with my hair and with whatever questions and preferences I had regarding the upkeep of my hair. Vanessa spoke to me at the beginning and end of my appointment and she was so kind. My hair looks beautiful! I’d absolutely recommend this salon.
Ive been coming here for about five years for various services. The building is just so beautiful and the people are so kind. Jessica does my brows and its the first time Ive been truly happy with my brows and become a repeat customer of any brow artist. She creates a very relaxing and welcoming environment, and the brows are just my style. Ive never had to ask her to change a thing! I recommend this salon and spa highly!
Absolutely love everything about Salon and Spa Venessa! It’s always a 5⭐️experience. The 5 star experience starts when you walk in the door, and you are greeted by the friendly front desk. I’ve had several fabulous spa services over the years, and Venessa has been cutting and highlighting my hair for 36 years. My hair appointments are always one of my favorite days! Tip….Book your appointments, because the stylists are always booked!
I had the best experience yesterday with Lizzy as my hairstylist! The atmosphere is so welcoming as was the service. Lizzy did a fantastic job with cutting my hair into the perfect bob. I highly recommend the shine treatment during the shampoo because it has made my hair so smooth, soft, and shiny. Lizzy was very knowledgeable about products to help with my hair type. I highly recommend this salon in downtown Woodstock!
Mariah was a great massage therapist. She was professional and caring! When I’m visiting Woodstock I will definitely go back to her. The front desk was also very welcoming, which is something I look for in any business.
Just recently had my hair cut and styled by Della! She was fantastic at her work and such a sweet person! For someone that hasnt had their hair professionally done in a few years, Im extremely satisfied with my hair and will definitely be coming back :)
I had a great experience with Raquel! She was warm and personable, yet very professional! I was so happy with the haircut she gave me that I booked my next appointment on the spot!
I have been going to the salon on and off for me and hoping to get my mom who is 82 a good place for her haircut. Every time we find someone we like they leave and have to start again with a new stylist. A lot of overturn on personnel. I was able to take my mom for her haircut. And left extremely dissatisfied . Maybe the stylist was new but was not friendly and not too professional like she was in a hurry to leave. We honestly could have gone to Great Clips and get a better haircut specially for the price. Not coming back. This place is going down as what used to be 10 years ago. Sad
I can’t tell you how happy I am with Lizzy. She is a caring and dedicated professional with a personal touch who wants the absolute best look for her clients and won’t settle for anything less. Her talents are far beyond her years in this profession. Love my new haircut and have received numerous complimentary comments. Thank you Lizzy!! I found the whole staff to be very customer service orientated as well!
My stylist, DD, has been doing my hair for over a year. I always come out very satisfied. She listens to what I need done! She’s great!
I’ve had my hair done by Jerney and Sarah. Love them both. Talented stylists. Great service from the moment you walk through the door, til the moment you leave. Highly recommend.
DD was awesome and easy to speak with. My first hair cut in several years, she was efficient and I’m very happy with the results.After the hair washing, her first question was asking if I have ever had a bad hair cut. I was impressed with how such a simple question could be so impactful and provide guidance on what not to do with each individual client. Ex: When I was telling her my “horror” story, I realized I never specified that I really dislike blunt cut layers, and preferred them to be blended.I hope she continues to use this question with new clients. It’s pure gold.
Go get the Hot Stone Massage now with Janet !!! Ive had several over the years, and this was by far the most thorough and relaxing one. I love that it included a face and scalp massage.Janet is magic! Be prepared to feel like jelly when you leave.
I have been using the same hairdresser for 35+ years and was frankly afraid of trying someone new. I was desperate for cut/color and couldnt wait for the next appointment. I pass Venessa on my way to work every day, and have always loved Aveda products, so I went to their website to see if they had any openings. One person, Sarah, had a cancellation and I slipped in - one persons loss is anothers gain! From the moment I walked in I felt welcome and waited less than five minutes. Sarah listened to a short hair history, I showed her a pic of my usual cut and magic. Boom! Sarah is great, precise, and gives you her full attention. I had a phenomenal experience and will definitely be back.
Love this spa! I’ve had three services here so far and they have all been excellent. Massage with Mariah and two facials with Kelsey. All wonderful ✨ I can’t wait to go back! The customer service is top-notch and I love the Aveda products.
Amy does my eyebrows & Eyelashes to perfection. I have blonde/see-through eyelashes and eyebrows. She did my microblading to give me a good base and I go in for eyebrows shaping & dying in between. I also get my eyelashes dyed black, so I’m not a slave to my mascara. It also helps me to look not sleepy or sickly by having color around my eyes that I don’t have to maintain daily. Thank you, Amy!
The first time I went here, I had such a good experience with Jerni! I wanted to get my hair dyed a red/auburn color for fall, and he did exactly what I wanted. He took his time, made me feel like he was super invested in what he was doing. I wasnt just another appointment, another client. About 6 months later, I decided to go back to lighten my hair a little bit for the summer. Im not going to name the stylist I got but I had a really bad experience with her and I was disappointed 😕 initially, I scheduled a full color/cut appointment. When I got there and showed her what I wanted, she said she didnt have time to do it that day, and that she could only do partial or a balayage, so i said that was okay. Id driven about an hour there and it was my only day off from work that week, so i decided to just get something done while i was there. She was super rushed the whole time. The color came out okay, it was brassier than I wanted and she only did it to the top of my head so it looked weird. She said Id have to come back to finish the rest, after Id already paid $250 for this service. The haircut that she gave me was atrocious. I have curly hair and I told her I only wanted about an inch off, and that my curly would draw up and be shorter once it was dry. Id just had a trim about 6 weeks before that so a big cut wasnt necessary. She ended up cutting off alot more than I wanted, and the layers look awful. The top of my head is short and the bottom underneath is long. It looks like a mullet. She didnt style my hair. She said she didnt have time and that it would have to air dry so I told her that was fine. I was trying to be compassionate. If she was over scheduled for appointments, Im sure thats not necessarily her fault. I was there for about 4 hours and $250 later, I was very disappointed. I dont typically spend money on my hair except maybe twice a year at the most so this was tough for me. I dont know that much about hair, so again, I was trying to be compassionate about her not having time, but I did schedule a full cut and color appointment and it shouldve been treated as such. Nothing worse than going to get your hair done and your stylist feeling rushed and behind the whole time. I will be going to another salon to get it fixed.
Salon Venéssa is a wonderful place. Everyone is friendly, and it’s a nice, relaxing environment. It smells like Aveda products, which I love. Jerny is very talented, and I love my haircut. He explained everything very well and made sure I knew how to achieve the same style at home.
Nikki is amazing! Not only an amazing hairdresser who exceeds all my desires, but just an incredibly kind human in every sense of the word. I’m a minimalist when it comes to my hair these days (wanting to go gray naturally and I don’t want to color my hair), but she balances that while still keeping the style young and current and makes me feel beautiful. She is always upbeat and positive and not at all negative or gossipy. She’s a beautiful, refreshing soul and makes me look forward to my hair visits
I have been there twice already and scheduled for my third in couple months gap and both times my facial therapist was Amy, she has really soft hands. She spent alot of time on my acne as I have severe acne problem and super dry skin. She cleaned and popped my pimples, did high frequency treatment over my acne exactly what I needed to get rid of them. She took her time with the massage she provided me with especially the neck one, It was amazing so relaxing then she massaged my arms, my hands and fingers were feeling so blessed. I had a ninety minutes facial. They always start of with a foot scrub so basically you getting your feet massage, arms, neck, shoulder and head massage with an amazing facial that would leave your skin soft and glow for $120 it was worth it.
Jessica did a wonderful job with my facial and advice on products that would work best with my skin. . I had a hair wash & blow out after. The stylist was a sweetheart. My only complaint is I don’t feel a proper hair wash was done after .my hair is still heavy with the oils etc used during my facial. I have had blow outs before after a facial and this has not been an issue until now.
Journey is very personable and gives off a great vibe! He talks you through his thoughts on what would be best for your hair.
Jerny, is a gifted stylist. He takes great care in speaking with his clients and truly listens to their needs and desires for their hair. A true professional. He is also so very kind and always has a smile on his face. He makes you feel at home.
Thank you! Thank you! Della!!!! She was amazing with my 12 yr old girl today! Having a hormonal and somewhat indecisive preteen can be a challenge when it comes to wanting a new hair style not to mention my daughter has a ridiculous yet beautiful amount of hair. Della listened and made suggestions and my daughter is over the moon happy with her new hair!!! Pretty sure she took multiple selfies on the ride home lol! Makes this Mama happy to see her daughter happy and confident. Thank you again Della!
Hands down best facial and massage!! Jessica and Janet were amazing ! The staff is super sweet /friendly .this was imy first time being there and they truly Made my birthday wonderful !!
Nikki has always done an excellent job…. Her priority is her client….her suggestions along with her experience always proves to be outstanding outcome….I would definitely refer my friends and family to Nikki. Thank you Nikki for your dedication….
Loved everything about Spa Vanessa! I have never had a bad experience. I’ve probably had color, cuts, and highlights from all the stylists. Always great. This time, thank you to Raquel!
I always enjoy my time spent at Spa Venessa. The massages and facials are amazing. I had my hair and makeup done for my daughter’s wedding and it was beautiful. I get my hair cut and colored by DD and she always does a great job. 👍
Cut & highlights by DD. DD is wonderful! She cuts & colors hair so that it grows out beautifully & looks great styled or simply blow dried. DD is super talented.Checking in/out at front desk is easy & staff are always informative & friendly and the appointment reminders are so helpful! I always have a really positive experience at Salon & Spa Venessa & highly recommend.
Amy has been doing my brows for over 15 years now. Shes easy to work with , great at what she does and knows what you need before you can tell you. Always happy with my experience
What a beautiful salon. Everyone Ive come in contact with has been friendly and professional. I enjoy coming in.Debi Blair has been my hairdresser for many, many years. Ive always been extremely happy with the styles she and I have come up with. Shes like part of my family.
Raquel is AMAZING, so pleasant and great energy!! Long haired peeps… she is the hairdresser for you 🙌🏼
Experience was amazing! Lizzy is a gem! I will be back. Highly recommend. ❤️
Della did a great job on my hair. She has an eye for style! Thank you!
Jurney always does an amazing job on my hair. I feel 100% confident in telling him sort of what I have in mind and him taking over from there. ♥️
Always an excellent experience. Staff is professional and friendly. They know me when I go to check. Like being greeted by an old friend. Denise is MY stylist and always does an amazing job. She listens to my ideas and her input is priceless. I love her skills and have loved every cut, color, highlight (and I’ve tried them all). I always come out with an amazing style. Thanks to Denise and all the staff for their awesome work. I strongly recommend using Salon VanessaArlene Waters
Had the most amazing prenatal massage with Janet and facial with Kelsey. I seriously cannot wait to go back. Incredible experience ❤️❤️
I was nervous to change hairstylists after mine moved away, but Debi was amazing. She took time to listen to what I wanted. I love the cut, and for the first time ever, my highlights and lowlights are 100% EXACTLY what I wanted. My hair color has dimension but it looks completely natural. Ive also seen Amy several times for eyebrow tinting and shaping, and she is equally amazing. She listens and my brows look exactly as I had hoped. The front desk staff are always pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend this salon and spa!!
First time at this Salon which is located in a beautiful historic home in downtown Woodstock. Salon and Spa Vanessa is stunning, and the ambience is both welcoming and relaxing. Everyone is so nice. Love this new home for my favorite stylist @hair_by_Nikkiwarden. A very satisfied customer, will definitely be back and highly recommend!3/27/24 Update: still loving my Salon and my favorite stylist, Nikki!
This place was wonderful. Everyone was so very nice and made me feel right at home. My service was Reflexology and the masseuse was absolutely fabulous. Can’t wait to have more services done in the near future.
Massage was excellent and always a highlight each month. Janet does an amazing job working through all my bodys knots, aches and pains. All aspects of the salon are excellent as well, including unsurpassed customer service!
Facial was great. Massage not so much. Felt like a rag doll being violently shaken.
As a guy used to barber shops I was hesitant to try Salon and Spa Venessa, but the entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Jerny, who cut my hair, listened to my initial style and offered a modern take on it. I’ve received many compliments and can’t wait to return. Free parking in downtown Woodstock is convenient and the haircut price matches those of less quality barber shops in the area. I highly recommend trying this spot if you haven’t!
Awesome highlights and trim for my daughter and a great haircut for me! I highly recommend Della!
The staff at Salon Vanessa was nothing short of wonderful! From scheduling to wedding day, we had a great experience. Journey, Amy, Kelsey and Nicole were professional, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend them for your bridal services.
I am a longtime client here and love their services and the wonderful feeling I have each time I walk in!I no longer live in the area of the salon but I drive 82 miles back to see them for my hair appointments! They are simply the best!
Still beaming from experience! I booked a hot stone massage last minute. I have an autoimmune disorder and was having a flair up. Usually a hot stone massage does wonders, but I haven’t been to a local spa and choose Spa Vanessa on recommendation. I’m pretty shy, and get nervous before any spa treatments. The moment my husband, and I walked in we were greeted by a friendly hostess, and shown the various services. She then took me to get prepared for my massage. Mariah was my masseuse and she had inviting, and such a calming presence. I felt relaxed, and assured instantly. I loved my experience so much, and walked out of the spa so happy and relaxed! I told my husband “its the first time I felt like my self all week” due to the discomfort from my flair-up, which the discomfort has since been controlled and I think largely due to the massage. My husband who was just dropping me off, asked if they had an opening for a haircut, and they fit him in. He mentioned how professional and knowledgeable Sarah was. She mentioned helpful tips which he was never told regarding his hair. He looked great, and said he would be back for future services. I will also be back, and we are glad to have found a spa home! The prices and service are definitely worth it.
I enjoy the atmosphere at the salon. My hair cut and color were exactly what I wanted and I was listened to.
Great cut and color from Becky! She listens to her clients and makes them very happy with the results.
As usual, I was personally welcomed in by the people at the front desk. Jerny is my stylist and he takes wonderful care of me. I have short hair and I really appreciate the meticulous care he takes to get my cut exactly right.
Salon Venessa is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is so nice and very organized. I have been to many salons over the years but my last visit to Salon Venessa changed my life. I scheduled a message and booked with Jacinda. I thought it was going to be like every other massage Ive ever had. Good, relaxing, uplifting but a massage. A nice luxury. Jacinda is next level. I swear it was like she put my muscles all back where they were supposed to be. I havent felt this good in a long time. Thank you Jacinda! Scheduling my next appointment asap.
LOVE THIS PLACE! Denise has been my stylist for, what 12, 13 years, maybe more. She is AWESOME! The whole entire atmosphere is so Calming which is what made me keep coming back, year after year (although her cut and color gets me so many compliments) EVERY staff member, EVERY staff member has been WONDERFUL!
I would without a doubt recommend Salon & Spa Venessa if youre seeking for a truly outstanding spa or salon. They are ideal in every way, including their staff, services, and location. They provide a wide range of treatments, including hair coloring, massages, and facials. The staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and skilled. I had the most wonderful facial ever; it was extremely relaxing and it helped with my acne. Elizabeth performed my facial and was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Additionally, Della and Mary did a terrific job coloring and styling my hair.You wont want to visit any other salon or spa after you become addicted to Salon and Spa Venessa.
Raquel did an amazing job with my haircut! She listened carefully to what I wanted and did exactly what I asked!
It was my first time at Salon and Spa Venessa! Needless to say it was a wonderful experience. Elizabeth was great and I will continue to book with her!!
Had my first time color retouch with Becky. She was excellent. Styled my hair exactly the way I asked for and I left very satisfied. Great job!
Five stars all around! I get my hair cut and colored here by Jerny, who is absolutely amazing. I have had facials and massages here, and even brought a group of women in for a bridal party. The manager and team were so accommodating and sweet to help make my friend feel extra special leading up to her big day.
Amy gave me an amazing facial. I left feeling relaxed and pampered.
Salon and Spa Venessa has never let me down. Sarah is my stylist and understands the needs and desires with my hair. She knows what is possible in my requests and my hair is more healthy than it has ever been. The moment I walk into the salon I feel relaxed and pampered. All of the stylists are friendly and welcoming. There is not a chance I would trust my hair to anybody else along with any skin and make-up needs, they are informed and well versed on what will work for my skin with both make-up and skin care!
Amy is awesome but the new requirements of covering the treatment bed with a black rubber sheet feels cheap and cold and clinical. I have been a customer for 10+ years and always enjoyed the classy comfort and homey feel of the treatment rooms. I liked that Venessa’s was not cold, cheap and clinical feeling
There is a reason that my entire family uses Salon and Spa Venessa. Because they are simply the BEST day spa anywhere! The staff is amazing and we’ve only had excellent experiences there. Many of the staff have been for for many years and they truly know how to provide care. Literally we just give each other gift cards because it is something we all love. You will NOT be disappointed!
The staff is very friendly and professional upon arrival. Mariah always does a fantastic job with my massages. She asks all the pertinent questions to ensure I have a great experience. I’ve been going to her for almost 3 years and I wouldn’t want to go to anyone else!
Recently had my first 90 min massage at Salon Vanessa with Janet. She was amazing! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing massage, she really knows where you need the most work. I felt so good when I left there.
I had my first visit yesterday and had an amazing experience. I love my color and cut! Jerny took the time to explain every step of the process to ensure I understood. Jerny has an incredible amount of knowledge about the science behind coloring processes and how ingredients in certain products interact. Jerny established a high level of trust with me and I will definitely be back! What an amazing person to have on your team! Well done to whoever hired Jerny!
Great experience and a great haircut. Just what I wanted! Thank you so much.
Melissa is nothing short of a miracle worker. I came to see her with a botched haircut (heavy layers, over texturizing of thick hair, etc.) and I walked out with a healthy, adorable haircut.She was great at listening and took it step by step while also being honest with me. I am so glad I found her and will be back for sure!
Melissa was my hairstylist and she did exactly what I wanted her to do with cutting layers in my hair. I have been looking for a excellent hairstylist to cut my hair for over 20 years and she is the real deal! I have had other hairstylist, cut my hair over the years, but none of them ever seem to be consistent or able to do the celebrity layering with my hair as Melissa has done for me. I highly recommend her she’s super professional and extremely enthusiastic!
Had a facial with Amy and it was excellent. She is the best! Thank you, thank you!
Brad did an amazing job. Best massage I have ever had. The staff is extremely professional and the rooms and decor are top notch
If you are looking for a quaint, local spa…this is the place! My daughter and I came for massages and had a wonderful experience. Brad was my masseuse and was amazing!
DD is wonderful!!!!! She listens and is a magician with scissors! She truly cares about her clients
Becky was on time, quick, cut my long thin hair into a cute chin length look. I love it, highly recommend.
My facial was amazing. Because of Amy, I only use Aveda skin care.
Fantastic facial! Elizabeth did an excellent job on my facial.The staff is wonderful; they are all so welcoming and courteous. Ten out of ten people would recommend the best salon and spa in Woodstock.
I had an amazing first experience at the salon! DD did the best job with my hair color! It looks incredible and I am so happy!! I can’t wait to keep going back to her.
Janet is absolutely the best! I was gifted a massage there , and ever since I didn’t look back and I go see Janet every time. She know the exact right pressure without me having to say anything. Generally all the team there is super friendly.
Absolutely love this place for massage. Janet is my favorite, but theyre all excellent! I have also had facials they are very good. The spa is relatively quiet for services. It always smells great, everyone is friendly and welcoming.I recommend you try them out!
Mary did her usual magic and with her skills at hair coloring, blowing and cut gave me a great new look! Thank you!
Amazing experience start to finish- from the very welcoming greeter/receptionist and beautiful, warm space to the fabulous massage by Sheri. Very impressed and will be back!
Two of us went in for facials and loved our visit there. All of the staff are dedicated to providing top-notch service. Ive been to Spa Venessa previously. I would highly recommended this establishment to any one looking for a professional spa experience.
Nikki is amazing professional! She is very polite and kind. The Front desk staff are amazing!!! Great atmosphere.
Amy was amazing, as usual. The online appt booking was not user friendly. I tried to book my wax service online and it kept telling me to add a service even though I had one in the cart. I eventually had to call to book it. Wish it was more convenient.
My daughter wanted to cut bangs but was leery. Melissa spent tons of extra time with her, proceeding little by little until she got the perfect length that my daughter was happy with. Great experience!
I have been going to Spa Venessa for years. Love Kelsey’s facials, she’s fabulous. Personable, knowledgeable and very talented at making you feel both relaxed and beautiful before, during and afterwards! 🥰💆🏻♀️
My daughter loves getting her hair cut by Jerny! He makes her feel comfortable and always does a great job. The front desk staff are always pleasant as well.
I came here for the first time for my appointment with Jerny, and I felt like I was coming in to hang out with my long lost best friend. I had an idea of what I wanted for my hair - he heard what I was saying, but instead of giving me what I thought I wanted, he went above and beyond and gave me something so much better. He also discovered that my hair was capable of curls, so he took the time to teach me how to actually style my hair appropriately. I left looking and feeling amazing. Thank you, Jerny!
I came in for highlights and a haircut with Mary. She did 2 colors this time adding a new golden color with my usual blonde and it came out just AWESOME! I’ve been growing my short, layered hairstyle out since COVID and this was just what I needed. I left the salon feeling refreshed and had to go right to a school Open House and meeting. I got so many compliments from people there- even some I had never met. It was unbelievable… so much so that I had to tell Mary and thank her again. She is an awesome stylist. She asks questions, listens to you and makes suggestions. Blessed to have had her styling my hair for 23 years 😊
Amy was awesome and I love my brows! She is very precise with the placement of each stroke, and has a great eye for creating the perfect brow for your face. She is wonderful to work with, and I will return to her over and over!!
Jernigan was absolutely amazing! I’d never gotten my hair done professionally and he made the whole experience AMAZING and made me feel special. They go above and beyond at Spa Venessa and I will definitely be going back!
Good experience. Very professional she understood what I wanted and I left happy
Elisabeth always gives me the best facial! Just booked my third one with her. She has the sweetest disposition and hands of an angel! 💙
I am transitioning to natural color hair. Katie was not only enthusiastic about the change- which the previous two hair stylists were not- but she gave me great tips for the transition, cut my hair exactly like I asked and was fun and professional. Always a pleasure.
The salon is always so calm and peaceful. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I always look forward to going. Jerny is great and does a fabulous job on my hair.
Love Salon and Spa Venessa . Relaxing and you feel spoiled while you are there. And I loves me some Jerny! He is the only one that cuts my natural curly hair perfectly.
Very pleasant experience! Nicky was awesome, she really listens to what you want and does everything exactly like you imagined! My haircut looks great and I already have my next appointment set!
Always perfect! Venessa is one of the best in the business.
My experience at Salon & Spa Venessa never disappoints. My most recent haircut with Mary was no exception. Love this salon!
Highly recommend for all your hair needs!! Excellent stylist and amazing staff!
Sarah is my absolute favorite human who always does an incredible job. It doesnt matter how far away I lived, I would make the drive.
I had an amazing experience at this salon, they welcome you with delicious treats and coffee, the whole atmosphere is so relaxing and serene. Everybody is super friendly. I did my eyebrows with Amy and she did an amazing job ( my eyebrows are very hard to shape) and my hair was done by Jamie and I loved my haircut and what a blow dry job she did! Please you need to give a chance to this place is charming and they treat you like a princess. 5 stars all the way!
My experience at Salon & Spa Venessa is always wonderful. The atmosphere is so relaxing. It smells wonderful and is always quiet and peaceful. Mary does my hair and Amy takes care of my brows and facials. They are both extremely knowledgeable and will answer any questions I might have. I have never been disappointed and have referred my daughters and sis-in-law to the Salon and they were happy with their results as well. I highly recommend this salon.
Jerny does a wonderful job on my hair and he explains what he is doing which makes me more comfortable especially concerning trimming the length and layers. I highly recommend him.
I was so nervous, and it did hurt a little, but Amy and Stephanie were so helpful and patient. Everyone likes my new brows so far and I cant wait to see how they look after my touch up next month.
I was a little disappointed. I loved the hair color and the stylist was very nice; however, as a 71 year old lady I expect to leave a hair salon with my hair looking fixed. I often plan to meet friends or go shopping after a salon visit. But I have found that I get a color, a hair cut and a quick blow dry. I leave feeling I need to go home and style my hair! This has been true on multiple visits with 2 different stylist.
Very relaxed and professional business! Venessa does a fantastic job! Lots of compliments on my cut and color!
My daughter and I LOVE going to Salon and Spa Venessa. Heather is amazing at cut and color. I have been so thrilled with the haircuts shes given me. Ive also been lucky enough to experience their spa and its AMAZING. Everyone who I have come in contact with is super-friendly and helpful. I love the relaxing atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!
This salon delivers every time. Katie is simply the BEST. Not only did she do exactly what I wanted for a balayage and cut but made the entire experience a joy! I was so relaxed and pampered! Very personal and professional. Ive gotten so many compliments on my hair and I refer every person who compliments or asks about my hair to Salon and Spa Vanessa and specifically to Katie! Thanks for giving Woodstock such a great salon!
I would not recommend this Salon..UnprofessionalInjustice to employeesUnthoughtfulSpitefulI was a loyal monthly client @ Salon Venessa. My services booked a full year in advance.Janet was my massage therapist. She did an amazing job and we developed a customer/client bond. Janet and I even shared tips for beach trips and girls softball events.I was informed today my service would be discontinued and as a paying customer my appointments would be canceled.Don’t get me wrong, they have every right to deny service however, this decision was made regarding a stylist (my daughter) who chose to explore other opportunities. I had full intentions of maintaining my salon visits after my daughter’s departure.Below is the note I received from the salon.Hello, we are reaching out from Salon and Spa Venessa. Given the current situation of how (my daughter) left & the actions she took before she left, we feel it is in the best interest of our business to discontinue servicing your spa appointments. Therefore, your future appointments have been cancelled. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the management teamteam.-Venessa, Nicole & Jen.I find this resolution to terminate my service - unprofessional- spiteful and a true testimony to how this salon treats the employees/clientele.
Katie hill always hooks me up! She knows exactly how i like my balayage done and never fails to impress me! Not only are her services great but i always leave feeling refreshed having spent great time with a great person!
I’ve been getting all hair services at Salon Spa Venessa for a long time (over 6 years)-blow outs, cuts, dye, etc.I’ve had various stylists, each of them amazing! I’ve got to say, though, Tori is incredible at cutting curly hair! I went in yesterday with long, out of control hair and left with lighter, bouncier hair. Tori was so patient, talked me through how to style my hair, gave me a (requested) product consult, was honest in her opinions, and very kind. I would highly recommend her and this Spa in general!
It’s such a relaxing experience to come to this salon. The staff is super friendly, and Jerne does an amazing job on my hair!
Excellent haircut from Sarah. Shes a hoot!
Jerny does so great with my hair!! He has the perfect coloring method to cover the gray and I have learned so much on proper hair care!! The staff is great and the free wine is tasty!!
I dream about going back for another appointment. I have been to salons before but none like this one. They really try to ensure you feel relaxed during your appointment and rested when you leave.They have great communication during your session and they truly make sure you are getting the right treatment for you. They provide you with the most soft and comfortable robes and slippers to wear before your appointment as well as the best tea and pastries. The whole ambiance was soothing and exactly what you need after a few long weeks or months. I had a massage and facial, which I would highly recommend scheduling one after the other because it was heavenly. I will be returning soon for sure!
I just love this spa!! Everyone is so friendly and professional at the same time! Ashley does my hair and it is the best haircut I have EVER had. I just had my first massage with Mariah. It was the best massage I have ever received. Please keep in mind I am a spa junkie so this means something when I say the best!
My boyfriend and I went for a couples massage and it was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this spa to anyone and everyone. I am definitely planning to go back again and I cant wait to try the other services they offer.Just an update....I just went back to Spa Venessa for a massage and salon visit and it was absolutely amazing. Janet is awesome for a full body massage and Katrina did an amazing job styling my hair. I love going here and it will be the spa I go to every time.
I had a fabulous massage with Mariah.
I feel so relaxed the minute I walk through the door at Salon & Spa Vanessa. My last visit I had my eyebrows waxed. I almost fell asleep. Who knew having your eyebrows waxed was so relaxing. I then had my hair colored and the massage when they wash your hair is amazing, absolutely amazing. Then on to my haircut. I never had a complement on my hair until Ashley Henson started doing my hair. I love what she does to my hair. I cant believe myself how good it looks, how healthy it looks.I love the homey feeling of the salon. Everyone is so kind and so friendly. I look so forward to my next appointment.Thank you all at Salon & Spa Venessa!
I have been dealing with awful, painful knots in my upper back and shoulder blades for months!! Finally decided to book a massage here...They put me with Terrie and WOW!!! She is absolutely a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!! Best massage Ive ever had (and Ive had a ton) She listened to my problems and needs and worked magic on me... I needed a very deep massage and she delivered it- spot on!!! It seriously was incredible!! I’ll be going back to see her regularly❤️ Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Terrie- you will not be disappointed!!!
I had my second haircut with Melissa and love the cut. She really listens. I like the products so much that I purchased some and find that I dont have to wash my hair as often. Courtney shaped my eyebrows and for the first time they werent overly shaped. The staff is very nice offering a beverage while you wait. I will definitely return.
Ive been going to Bethany for a few years now. Never once have I left without a smile on my face. Shes a wonderful stylist as well as a great person. Professional and friendly. Always listens to what I want and offers opinions on what she thinks would look great.The entire salon is always clean and well-maintained. The staff are friendly and warm. I highly recommend Salon and Spa Venessa and especially Bethany for all of your hair needs.
I have been going to Salon and Spa Venessa and seeing Katie for almost a year and love it every time I go! She always does a great job on both the cut and color of my hair. I have actually moved and still make the drive because of how happy I always am with the results!! Strongly suggest this salon and Katie to anyone looking for a great, relaxing experience!
Welcoming, professional and courteous front-line staff.Denise is an excellent stylist who I would recommend time and again.Thank you for always making my experience at Salon & Spa a relaxing experience.
I absolutely love Salon Venessa! The experience is completely therapeutic from the moment you enter. I have had truly the best massages of my life at the salon. The 90 minute massage with a rain shower and blow out was my absolute favorite! The entire staff is wonderful. Truly a spa experience for personal renewal and rejuvenation.
Denise was fabulous! I have received so many compliments on my hair!I am so appreciative of her time and vision for my style!One very happy client!Thank you!❤️
Have been going to Spa Vanessa since I moved to Woodstock. Its great. Not only are all of the operators outstanding, especially Dawn, but the whole experience is lovely, from the herbal tea to the relaxing atmosphere. Like the way I look when I leave, as well. Missed going to Spa Vanessa for a while due to health issues, but was back again on Thur. Got a great haircut and a nice warm welcome. Good to be back
Amy is my aesthetician and does my facials. I usually see her once per month. She is the ultimate professional and my skin has never looked better. I highly recommend Salon and Spa Venessa and Amy!!
Went today for the first time, absolutely loved it! Ashley did my hair and she did a fantastic job! I didnt want any length taken off my hair and while she trimmed and shaped it, it didnt look any shorter. She also highlighted my hair and it is beautiful! Also, great prices! :) definitely going back!
Highly recommend massages from Brad and facials from April!!
Katie is my hairdresser. She colors, cuts and styles my hair. Ive been going to her for about 3 years or more. She always does a great job and makes me feel beautiful.
Mariah dimick was fantastic.Mariah was very professional, and very friendly. I definitely will be coming back to see her. Thank you Mariah.
Katrina is awesome!! Although we dont see each other often, she always asks me questions about how Im doing & we pick up right where we left off! The salon smells great. The energy is relaxing/calming. You get what you pay for & that is great service! I am MORE than happy to go to a local business that really cares about their community. LOVE SALON & SPA VENESSA!!
Always love my time at Spa Venéssa!Denise is wonderful!!!
I have been going to Bethany for over two years for color and haircuts. She is excellent. At the beginning of every visit, she reviews with me to check if there may be any changes I might want to try. She listens carefully and works to ensure I am happy. I have had many compliments on my hair during these two years. The staff at the salon are friendly, professional and efficient. I would highly recommend their services.
Jamie was just awesome! She listened so carefully to my needs and really respected my opinions about my hair. She skillfully cut my hair and it just looks great! I am really impressed with what a difference it made! Thank you Jamie. I WILL be coming back.
Best facials & massages hands down. Staff is great & friendly. Highly recommend! This is the only place I will go to & cannot recommend them enough. Ive been seeing Mariah for massages for a few years, and shes fantastic!
Had an incredible experience for my first facial. Kelsey was so sweet and helpful and I can’t wait to come back!
I loved my experience at Salon and Spa Venessa. I got my eyebrows dyed by Lisa and my hair cut and colored by Lindsey. Both services turned out great. I love it!! Everyone in the salon is so friendly and I love the old details of the historic building it is located in.
I have been coming here since relocating from NJ. Amy is my esthetician and her waxing abilities are beyond reproach. I have also had a few hair cuts here and have been more than satisfied. I recently moved about 45 minutes away but still make the drive to see Amy every 3 weeks! The salon/spa area is very relaxing and private. The staff has always been engaging and the customer service is stellar!
Jerney is an exceptionally gifted stylist, due to his listening skills as well as his personal talent!
Brads massage was incredible! It was a refreshing change from other massages I have gotten at other places! Cant wait for my next one!
A trip to Salon Spa Venessa never disappoints. Amy’s expertise and attention are unparalleled. This is my “Go To” salon.
Always a 5 star experience.Today was my first venture out from 3 months quarantine. Vanessas is totally up to CDC protocol and beyond to ensure a safe and relaxing environment. I enjoyed a massage with Janet. And will soon be back in Ambers chair for my hair.Thank you, Vanessa, for providing a safe place for us to go forward. Im proud youre my neighbor, another female owned business. Bravo!
Brad was amazing. His form of deep tissue massage was perfect. Got the job done without hurting me. Will definitely be going back.
Jessica and Sara were both great! As always a wonderful experience!!
Facial treatment.Facial was as expected. Elisabeth work with care and provided an excellent service.My skin looks glowing and toned.Love ❤️ it!
Jerny is a rockstar stylist and helped me fall in love with myself again after cutting my hair perfectly. I’m very impressed with his range of depth and versatility.
Staff was friendly and professional. My massage by Sherri was so relaxing. I was not rushed and felt quite pampered.The salon was clean and well stocked with robes and slippers. They certainly pay attention to detail. Marge F.
I love this Salon. I had been taking a picture of what I wanted to my previous stylist and was never happy with the cut or the color. I made an appointment with Brandy at Salon and Spa and it turned out perfect. I have recommended her to all the ladies at my office. It was a great experience and I will always be a client.
I had a wonderful first time experience at this salon. My brother purchased a Spafinder gift card for my birthday. I was looking up places to use this card and this spa popped up as an option. I had driven past this place 100 times or more. I was excited to try it out. When I walked in the place smelled amazing. The energy was positive throughout the whole place. Downstairs the salon was buzzing and everyone seemed to be genuinely happy. I was walked upstairs to the spa area for my pedicure which was quiet and relaxing. The separated levels allowed for a positive experience in both areas. I was super impressed with the overall experience and I will be back again. Since it was my first experience they provided me with a little gift. I thought this was an exceptionally nice gesture. Check them out!
Mary always does a Wonderful job with my hair!!!
I love this place! They are always so nice and accommodating! Mary is my favorite but they all do an amazing job!
Just stopped in for a few travel sizes and Nicole could not have been sweeter! I will definitely be back for services in the future just based on this short experience. Lovely aesthetic in the salon too!
Mary is always great!!! She does a great job!! Fantastic!!
Everyone was so welcoming, living in Woodstock for so many years this was my first time coming here and it was AMAZING!!! I went for a Medicare and Pedicure for my graduation, the young lady that did them was so sweet and funny. She had a gorgeous smile and attitude that made the whole visit wonderful. Thank you so very much Salon & Spa Venessa for this great experience and you will be seeing not just myself, but also my family and friends! Keep up the great work and passion that you all have.
Janet is amazing! I always look forward to my massage experience with her!!
I have been going to Salon Venessa for three years. Katrina is one of the best colorists I have ever worked with! The staff and the atmosphere make for an exceptional self care experience. The pricing is very reasonable and there is a great selection of products. I highly recommend Salon Venessa.
Today I loved my detox body wrap by Kelsey and my hair done by my favorite Denise!!Thank you for a relaxing day that was so much needed!!I look forward to my next visit! ❤️🤗❤️
Tori always does my hair and she’s wonderful!! I do a lot of diy on my hair and often come to her with a complete mess. She always gives me her honest opinion and fixes it for me ! She’s very patient and extremely talented , will never go anywhere else but here ... thanks Tori !!
The staff at Salon Venessa is wonderful! They are so helpful and go out of their way to be friendly and make sure that you are happy and feel pampered. Venessa does my hair and she is great. She makes sure that I am always satisfied.
Vanessa’s salon and spa first time for my visit I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and I was shown around. The spa is very clean and the atmosphere was positive.
Ashley N. did an amazing job. I hadn’t gotten my hair colored/cut in almost a year and the color was very brassy and uneven. She toned the blonde in my hair, gave me some lowlights, and brought my natural roots down a little farther so I could have a beautiful, natural look. It was exactly what I wanted and more!!
Ive enjoyed Spa Venessa for 10 years and wish I could give it 10 stars! I recently moved and tried a new salon to my great disappointment! Im now driving back to Woodstock every 8 weeks to ensure I get what I want! My hair is always beautiful when I leave and stays that way between visits. I have and will continue to highly recommend this salon to everyone I meet.
Brad is amazing! His type of deep massage is the best I’ve ever received. I highly recommend requesting hkm.
Looking for an excellent stylist and colorist? Then make an appointment with Morgan. I have been seeing Morgan for the past five years. She is highly knowledgeable about hair coloring, cutting, and styling, listens carefully to what her client wants, and will offer suggestions if you had trouble deciding what to do with your hair. I receive many compliments about my hair from friends and family.
I having to going to Salon and Spa Vanessa for over 5 years. I love the atmosphere and always feel so relaxed. The staff is always so welcoming and helpful. Melissa is the best and does an amazing job with highlights and cuts.
Ive been going to this salon for 2 years and its always wonderful. Its not just a haircut, its a mini relaxing getaway! Heather did a great job on my haircut and even taught me how to properly use a curling iron for the best results.
Amy is wonderful and the peel was perfect. She did a great job on cleaning up my brows
Jamie is simply amazing!! She listened and took the time to understand the desires I had for my hair! Salon it’s self is beautiful! Great customer service and lovely coffee bar! Thank you ladies!
Elisabeth was amazing! So knowledgeable and really knew what she was doing. Everyone is so nice here. Will definitely be coming back!
Della gave me a great haircut!
I had my hair cut and colored by Mary about a year ago. (Regrettably I moved too far away to make this my regular salon.) I have light brown hair with a big patch of snow white on top, and she was able to blend it together so that it looked like I just had highlights. It was a pleasure to find someone so experienced and capable. Five stars for Mary, one less for the scheduling staff.
The spa is a lovely place...warm, welcoming, wonderful aromas and with women who really care to make your experience as perfect as possible. I have had massages, facials and pedicures there and each one was 5*. The friendliness is always professional and never stretches boundaries. I highly recommend The Spa Venessa for a relaxing appointment.
Janet is the absolute best! You can walk in tied in knots but you’ll walk out feeling completely refreshed and relaxed. I wouldn’t anywhere else.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the very nice people who worked there. My hair dresser Brandy Tomlinson is awesome. They really care about the health of your hair, its not just another hair cut or color. Great hospitality as well.
Jerny is FABULOUS! He listens to what I want done for my hair and answers all my questions! and we talk about everything from hair to mutual friends and music! Love my experience there!
This is the second time Katie Hill has done my hair. She is by far the best stylist Ive ever had! My color, highlights and cut are perfection. Thank you Katie and Salon Venessa!
I love Amy! She is the best.
Today my husband and I had a couples massage, so relaxing that my husband fell asleep. We truly enjoyed it. We will definitely return. Thank you for providing a great experience and wonderful customer service.
From the moment I walk in to the moment I leave, it’s always a 5 star experience! Talented, dedicated, pleasant, and hard working team. I’m never disappointed! A big thank you to Venessa, for always making my day! 😘
I recently had a 90-minute facial with Tamara ... The.Best.Experience.Ever!! She did a wonderful job answering my questions and an even better job on my facial AND foot/hand massage that were included. I highly recommend the 90-minute facial ... more money but worth every penny. Just a suggestion...dont drink any beverage BEFORE...90 minutes is a LONG time!! Oh, and ask for Tamara!!
Absolutely Wonderful Experience! I came into Spa Venessa with the hopes of not having to have my head shaved. I had had a very bad experience at another salon and my hair was extremely damaged, brittle, and was a horrible color. My appointment was with Jaci and I couldnt of been luckier. Jaci looked at my hair and we discussed options for repair and recovery. She really listened to what I wanted and gave me hope that we could get my hair back to a healthy place. I entered the salon that day with a awful head of hair and came out with a beautiful cut and color. I have never been happier! Thank you Jaci and Spa Venessa for amazing customer service! I will be a customer for life.
I highly recommend Salon and Spa Venessa! The customer service and spa staff are amazing and they have a great selection of spa services at very reasonable prices. I don’t get there often before I live an hour and 20min away. I am an Aveda Pure Privilege member with over 44,000 points and when I asked to redeem several rewards certificates at their location they gave me absolutely no issue and were happy to accommodate my needs with booking services. I have not had this experience at other Pure Privilege Spas and Salons so I was very impressed that they would accommodate my needs.
Venessa is always great! The front desk people are wonderful. I have been going to them for over 10 years and love them!
My rising star stylist was excellent (jurney sp?) and a totally funny guy. Will definitely ask for him again next time Im in. I love my haircut!
I have worked with Bethany and she did an /excellent/ job styling my hard to manage not curly-not straight-completely frizzy hair. Not to mention the beautiful job she did with my high/low lights that looked exceptionally natural when she was through - exactly what I asked for! The Aveda curly products are excellent. Definitely worth the slightly higher price point. And the salon itself is an experience. Inside of a converted home on Woodstock square, you feel pampered with the entire experience from the first offer of tea or coffee to your complimentary hand massage or makeup touchup service at the end of your visit.
I have been coming to see Janet for massage since 2007!!! That should say it all!! Love this place for hair , facials , Aveda products and everyone is always very hospitable ❤️❤️❤️
I have been a customer of Salon and Spa Venessa for years, but lately the quality of service and products have gone down. At my last visit, I spent over $250 dollars for a facial, hair cut and dye. The stylist used so much mousse that I looked like an 80s dancing queen. I normally wouldn’t complain, but had an event that night. I asked to have it rewashed and styled, but the manager informed me that they were overbooked. She also said they were not an Aveda salon, but Salon and Spa Venessa...which may explain why some of the products smell like they have been refilled with over the counter mess. Needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
Visited Amy for Microblading and she is such a pro. Very detailed and fun to chat with! I loved my results. The staff was very welcoming and friendly not your stuffy spa experience.
From the first phone call I made to the time I walked out from my appointment, I felt like I was family and they wanted me to be really happy! I had a bad experience at another salon and felt like what I wanted didnt matter and got a bad do! I wanted some one to fix the undercut that didnt go so well at the last place and they hooked me up with Heather! Booked a consult (free by the war) we discussed what I wanted and what she could do! Booked my cut appointment and Heather worked her magic and I walked out of there feeling like it was the best cut ever! Undercut the way I wanted hair the way it should be and I have a new stylist! Thanks to all of the wonderful people at Venessa!
This Salon went above and beyond. I’m so thrilled with my haircut and it came out so much better than I imagined! Welcoming and friendly staff
Went in for just a flat iron no shampoo or blow dry and got upcharged $20. It cost $35 and it didnt even take the girl 25 minutes to do. Plus my hair was still a little wavy when she finished. I had to touch it up at home. If you want your hair straightened dont go here.Edit: I came in on Monday May 21 and my appointment was under my moms name Lisa Lancaster.
Still believe my original post!People are kind and talented .Professional treatment.Janet is the best masseuse in the state of Georgia!- great place to relax!
Amy was amazing - I would get a facial with her any time 💗
VERY RUDE FRONT DESK. Impolite and very brusque. How can you be condescending to customers? The owner needs to train all staff on how to interact with customers politely and courteously. The stylists are pretty good and the salon atmosphere itself is nice. BUT very rude front desk ruins everything!!!
