I don't often write up reviews on my experiences, but my recent visit to Spa La La stood out so…read moremuch that I couldn't resist. It is one of those hidden gems that remind you that Austin still has really cool places to discover. The place is so peaceful and comfortable that I didn't experience any nervousness like I have in the past going to first visits at other places. The massage itself was simply the best. Brittany's Ashiatsu got deep down into the sore tissue layers of my back and relaxed my muscles in ways that have persisted quite a bit longer than I was expecting. I can tell that there has been a significant reduction in the inflammation I typically carry in my back. I'll absolutely be going back again. They also offer a variety of different kinds of facials that all sound incredible that I want to try. Overall, I couldn't be happier to have found Spa La La

Beware of the chair massage if you have a bad back. Last week, my husband and I went and got…read morereflexology on our feet then a chair massage. The woman doing my massage seemed nice and was overall good at the foot massage though I would have preferred more reflexology on the toes. Here's the caution. During the chair massage, she went so hard with her elbows. She also forcibly twisted my back both times, without a chance for me to protest. I've NEVER had a chair massage or any massage where my back is twisted!!!! She went at it like she was on a mission to crack ever bone. It was uncomfortable and painful. I have back issues (cancer in my L4) and that have since flared up of pain in my lumbar spine since last Thursdays appointment. A word to ownership, NEVER, NEVER allow your employees to crack someone's back especially without first discussing it. You have no knowledge of prior conditions and it's extremely dangerous if you are not qualified. If I wanted my back cracked I would see my Chiro. Personally, I will not be back due to this. My husband had an older gentleman and he throughly enjoyed both the foot massage and chair massage. His back was not cracked.

If you're looking for high-quality massage work in the Austin area, I highly recommend Melody at…read moreZen Deep Massage. I first had the pleasure of receiving work from Melody 10 years ago. I had looked around Austin to find the right therapist for me and she checked all the boxes. She is very knowledgeable about anatomy, is really intuitive with her touch and her abilities to find my problem areas and unravel them, her pressure is spot on, and she does amazing assisted stretching which really helps with both my flexibility and my recovery from exercise. She was my go to therapist for about seven years, even though her location required about a 45 minute drive each way from where I was living in Pflugerville. I typically saw her twice a month, and the experience was well worth the drive. A few years ago, a couple of family and work changes made it nearly impossible to make the drive down to her studio. I'm happy to say that that has changed now and I'm able to get back to see her on a regular basis. I had an amazing session with her today and she was able to resolve some lingering issues in my hips and lower back and I felt great after leaving her studio. I'm turning 70 shortly, and after decades as an Army Paratrooper, working out, and now as a cyclist and distance runner, I need more than rest and the stretching, warm ups and cool downs I can do to keep my body moving. Melody's bodywork is integral to maintaining my active, healthy lifestyle.

The spa is definitely on the smaller side, as only two people could have a service at a time. The relaxation lounge is lovely and comfortable, and the locker rooms are clean. The sauna was very tiny - only two people can comfortably fit in there at once. The steam room was equally as small, didn't work, and had a weird smell. The spa amenities were a bit disappointing for the steep prices. The spa services themselves were very good - everyone enjoyed their massage or facial.

I was combed yelp and found Holly based upon her reviews, availability, and online booking. The process of booking was flawless. The location is right next door to my favorite restaurant Vivo Austin which was a bonus. Since we are in the middle of 'Rona, I had to text Holly once I arrived. I was asked to wash my hands in the bathroom and come back to the massage room. We went over my massage needs while I had a quick foot soak. Holly asked questions just to clarify what I wanted and what I needed. I had asked for deep tissue massage and knew that it was not going to be a relaxing massage. When you go from monthly massages to none (thanks again 'Rona), Ummm yeah, your body will be not in the best shape. Overall, I felt better that day and the next day.
