DO NOT GO TO THIS WOMAN FOR ANY KIND OF TREATMENT EVEN IF SHE OFFERS TO DO IT FOR FREE! Let me tell you why. I booked a session online for $129. Since it was my first time, I showed up 10 mins before my scheduled appointment as I did not know what to expect. The moment I opened the door, I got attacked by her dog. Dog ran after me even outside and it freaked me out. I'm terrified of dogs and here she had hers right there, without even a leash, ready to attack anyone that even dares to walk in the door. Her excuse was she lost track of time and did not want to leave her dog at home for 12 hours. That's very unprofessional of her but fine, I was thinking maybe she's going to make up for this incident in the session. But no. Each session is supposed to be 40 mins long. She cut mine short to 25-30 mins. When I asked her why it wasn't a full session, she said there wasn't enough time since she had another appointment scheduled and I had to fill out paperwork. There was no paperwork to fill out. It was one single form that requires your basic info, which took 2 mins at the most. Remind you, I showed up early and had I not been attacked by her dog, she would have had more time. Did I mention she has no team? She runs the Woodbridge Office by herself. Not my problem! Keeping all of this aside, I asked her what she would recommend for future sessions. She said she offers a package of 5 or 6 sessions for $1,500. That's $250 a session. How is that a package deal when I just paid $129 for one session, which showed zero results? She said it was cheaper than getting a surgery. Wow! I don't need a surgery because I'm not a huge person. I'm pretty small. I weight 120 pounds but I have few problematic areas. I wasn't looking for a miracle or had any unrealistic expectations but if you can't help me loose a single inch from any of the targeted area of my body or help the appearance of the skin in any way then what the hell am I paying even a dime for? 0.04 here and 0.02 and 0.03 there is her way of manipulating you to believe you have lost a total inch when everything looks and feels the same. She can tighten that measuring tape all she wants but no one is that stupid. Anyways, I asked her if a wrap would help instead and she said no, not really. It's more of a detox. Well, if none of her services help loose inches, or help the appearance of your body or tighten any area then why are you false advertising it? Then she said it wouldn't work, not for my body. Wait, what is that supposed to mean? If wrap doesn't work on small average bodies then is it only meant for huge/fat ones? Wouldn't they need surgery? According to her, if I wasn't happy with my first session, she doesn't feel comfortable doing anything else. At that point she came across really rude and racist towards me. She didn't even want to explain anything after that pretending she doesn't know anything. Oh well, I'm glad I did not sign up for that "package deal". I do not recommend her to anyone. Hell, I'll pay double the price to someone else as long as they don't treat me like she did. It was a total waste of time and money. What a rip off!

I have gone to Anita for the wraps for years. They always help lose extra inches and feeling refreshed afterward. I have recently tried the VaserShape and HCG diet to get rid of those last plateau pounds and inches and I'll say the HCG somehow makes it so you are not hungry and I got to my goal weight!

Rob,
As you know I replied to you with a very detailed private response. Publically, I do feel that it is inaccurate to state that I did not respond to you when you had a concern... in fact, it was left that you were to call me once you returned from vacation (this is a direct statement from the last e-mail that you sent to me.)
I do take great pride in the work that I do especially for people in the military. I have had great success and an a large number of return and referral clients in the military.... in fact, I spoke to a recruiter on the phone last evening who stated that for the people he has sent to me, approximately 10, that I have a "100% success rating". I do hope that your comments do not discourage other military personnel from trying this process as it is a very successful way of passing the tape test... and I have several "military coins" that have been presented to me as "thank you's" for "saving their careers."
If you would like to speak further, as was originally planned I would be more than happy to do so. In this case, however, the guarantee of 6 to 20 inches was met on the FIRST visit. This is what is stated on the form that you signed on the first visit you made to my office. I did not do full measurements on the 2nd visit, which is not uncommon, I did however re-measure the one measurement you were concerned with. You did drop one inch from the time you first came to me (I verified my inital measurement with you and asked if that number made sense to you, you agreed that it did, then we discussed the amount you needed to lose to pass.) I would have liked to see more results on the one measurement that you were concerned with, however, the guarantee is not on one measurement, it is the agregate of the body. I hope that between the two responses, both private and public and the offer to speak with you directly on the phone that we can come to a resolution that will satisfy you. Thank you.

I started going to Slender Spa the Friday after Thanksgiving and the results I received in just 1.5 months is amazing. I loss a total of 31 inches. I purchased two packages, 5-series Vaser Shape (for my abdominal area) and 3-series Power Body wraps. After only 4-of-5 Vaser Shape procedures half of my total inches loss was in the abdominal area. How Awesome is that? Treatments that actually work. People are telling me how amazing I look. I am so pleased, I am signing up for more procedures. Thank you Anita!

I had a Groupon for this service. I went once and did not have an enjoyable experience. I question the cleanliness and the efficacy of the service.

Hi Christie,
I am sorry that you did not have a pleasant experience. The wrap that we offered on Groupon is meant to be relaxing and provide some inch loss benefits. We have maintained a large majority of the people that came to us through Groupon, so I am sorry that your experience was not as you expected. I have reached out to you a number of times privately to try to find out what happened and how we could have rectified the problem. I would still welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally. Thank you. Anita - Nicole H.San Diego, CA942Oct 11, 2013
I saw this place advertised on groupon and my curiosity got the better of me. Overall I lost 11inches. It was an interesting experience I will say that. I actually started to doze off while I was laying there bandaged up like a mummy. That warming cocoon they have you lay in after sure was comfy.
The woman that did my wrap was knowledgeable and professional - despite getting a lot of measurements in practically my birthday suit.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

This response is several years late in coming, Nicole, but we wanted to say thanks anyway. So glad you gave us a try, and we appreciate you sharing your amazing results on here! Was this the first time you'd tried a Body Wrap?
Hope to hear back,
Slender Spa - Maria Z.Washington, DC16145120Aug 14, 2013
It was my first experience getting a Slimming Body Wrap. I must admit it was very unexpected.
At first, a staff member measures your legs, waist and arms, ie all the trouble spots to target fat!! Then, they wrap you like a mummy (tight,tight, tight) with cloth strips presoaked in mineral solution. Then, they place you in a warm bed with plastic cover and something looking like a body bag (kinda creepy, I know). The fat cells supposedly melt away while you lay there 40 min.
All in all, my overall inch loss was a whopping 12 inches from all areas, however, they do say that you will not experience pound loss.
Overall, I think customer service was great, however, I need to research more on the effectiveness of treatment.
P.S. I felt like I was smaller in the waist the day of treatment but not quite the next dayHelpful 7Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

First off, apologies for not getting back to you sooner, Maria! Thanks for sharing your experience on here -- the treatment differs a little bit for every person who tries it, and we rely on feedback like yours to figure out what we can be doing better. We don't think you mentioned it, so we've got to ask -- who (or what) first pointed you in our direction?
All the best,

Slender Spa in Woodbridge has been very helpful to me. I have gone 5+ times (lost count). In losing 102 pounds at one point, I would reward myself with body wraps to help tighten up. I have gone back since in preparation for engagement photos and also plan to go back before my wedding dress fitting and before my wedding. I have only done the resting treatment once, where you lie down for targeted inch loss--the rest, I have done by being wrapped and exercising. So if you go & you go for relaxation, make sure to do the resting wrap. Otherwise, you are working for your inch loss, just as you may doing with regular exercise.
I always feel rejuvenated, my skin is soft, and I have lost several inches each time & feel that the inch loss has been maintained by eating well/exercising. The staff is knowledgeable, efficient, and very nice. I enjoy my visits every time I go. If you've never been, give it a shot! :)Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Wanda W.Woodbridge, VA491Jul 26, 2016Updated review

I appreciate your Wanda -- I know how frustrating that must have been. Holiday weekends are always a little crazy, and I can't thank you enough for understanding here. I'm excited for you to get your wrap, and I can't wait to hear what you think!

Anita, OwnerMay 25, 2015Previous reviewI had an appointment for Memorial Day but was contacted by the spa on Friday and told since the other clients cancelled their appointments for that day mine would need to be cancelled or moved to Saturday because they made a decision to close. I selected a 12:30 appointment on Saturday but was told they would get me in at 10:30. Saturday morning I realized I had a service appointment for my car that morning and called to see if they could get me in later on Saturday. I spoke to Jennifer who said they were booked for the whole day on Saturday. She asked me if I could be there at 9am on Monday and she would take care of me. I drove up from Manassas and arrived at about 8:30 because I appreciated her accommodating me for my upcoming vacation. At 9:30 no one had shown up so I left. I thought it was rude to cancel my initial appointment and I thought it was more rude to have me drive down and waste my gas and time for no one to even show up. What happened to customer service? I'm busy, I work a lot and I make appointments for a reason
Update. I was contacted by the company to reschedule due to an unforeseen incident. I will reschedule, however it would have been nice to try this out sooner rather than later. I'll update once I actually get a chance to try the wraps.
