I needed a good deep tissue massage. Currently, due to 'Rona, there are minimal massage places that…read moreare open. 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. My muscles are loosing up finally so I can push myself again in my workouts, hopefully injury-free.

It had actually been almost 5 years since I had last seen her and after a recent apartment move, I needed her services for my aching body! It was like visiting an old friend and I remembered just how awesome of a person she is and that I should not have let so much time go by without visiting her. A mistake I will try to not repeat even though I have to leave Austin temporarily. She is able to provide the most gentle touch, as well as deep therapeutic pressure for those stubborn knots that don't work with anything else. I have always felt that her skills make me feel relaxed even though I need her stronger touch throughout the session at some points. Her massage room is super cozy and will help you feel completely at ease. Oh, and one final note for those that are more self conscious or don't like to bare all of their goodies! Susanna let's you undress to your level of comfort and always provides a blanket to keep you covered regardless of how bare you go! Don't worry about leaving all oily either. She uses only the best and always wipes any excess allowing anyone to leave like a smooth zombie needing a ride home or at least a few minutes in the parking lot to gather the senses! Try her out. You can thank me later!

Diving full swing into the whole massage therapy thing in 2012, so far I have met lot of very good…read moremassage therapists that do great work of which I would definitely recommend and go back. However, I can honestly say that Susanna at Escape Massage & Spa is the most thorough and hard-working massage therapist that I have experienced to date, hands down. I've been here twice now, the sessions are so extensive that I find my usual 15-20% tip range just isn't worthy, she deserves more, and I happily oblige. Here's why: - Her sessions are like a continuous methodical flow of kneading and massaging out the kinks with minimal stops and pauses. She has a great work ethic, I told her she's like the Energizer Bunny version of the wooden smiley-face massage roller - - keeps going and going.... - The Right Tools: She utilizes her hands, palms, fingertips, knuckles, and forearms to ensure you're getting the full blown arsenal. Her massage oil has no scent, doesn't stain your clothes, there's none of that excess greasy effect you feel at the end. She uses just enough to glide but not too slippery. - She always spends ample time on the trouble spots, in my case the lower left back and up along the spine, and yet she still makes the time to massage out the rest of your body. She doesn't cut you short. - Awesome foot massage. What an awesome job on the feet! I find most therapists skim it or do a half-ass job, but not Susanna - who's very thorough and consistent. She said she practices a lot on her mother , who formally requests it. - Overdelivers. In my two sessions (maybe it's luck or scheduling) she's gone well over our scheduled time and didn't make me feel rushed. I totally lost track of time and she genuinely wanted to make sure I felt like I got real therapy and was happy. - One of her customers nicknamed her the "spine-crusher", as her deep pressure is very effective yet she balances it out w/ the delicate to medium pressure which I generally prefer. - Great personality. Very positive, talkative, and makes you feel comfortable. She works on trying to establish a rapport and r-ship with her clients. - Toxin Avenger. I feel the full effect of the toxins being released after her massages. I'm usually in a trance-like state, I need a gallon of water to recuperate. If I had my date w/ me that would be the optimal time to take advantage and ask for my credit card to go shopping. Too eeeeasy. One caveat to know is the location and set-up, which is a room in the Day's Inn that's been converted into a massage studio. My first appointment I was thinking they had an actual spa and the works, but when I got there I was confused because I got directed to an actual room. Turns out she works at the Day's Inn full time in administration, got her LMT certification and worked w/ the hotel to convert a room into her 2nd job. It's well done, there's a quality massage table w/ warmer, bathroom w/ shower, a futon, music, humidifier. No dance floor or strobe-lights (sorry). It may not be the posh high-end-day-spa-look that some may appeal to, but I could care less. I'm there for a quality massage, not for interior design and decor, and it meets all of my requirements: clean, quiet, private, and comfortable. Her appointments are limited as she explained she paces herself to avoid potential for burn out, so she balances it w/ her other job. I can't say enough about Susanna's quality massage skills and customer service, she always goes above and beyond and that's more than worthy of a 5-star experience.

Nahid is a brow-grooming goddess! She is professional, prompt, thorough, and affordable…read more If you've never experienced threading, I highly recommend it. I prefer it to waxing because I always get breakouts from wax and find that threading is a lot more precise. Just be prepared for a little bit of pain (on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say it's a 3 tops) and some participation (you'll have to hold your forehead and eyelid at points to make your brow taut). Nahid will greet you warmly, take a look at your brows, ask what you generally like (thicker or thinner brows, higher or lower arches), and then get to work. She uses rosewater to soothe the skin as she works and then - to top it off - finishes your appointment with a calming moisturizer by Eminence (love that product line!) that she applies with a mini-massage. It's easy to schedule with her via phone or text. And, she only charges $15 for brows. One tip: For your first visit, give yourself a few extra minutes to find your way to the spa space where she is located within the Gallery of Salons maze.

My eyebrows were out of control! I tried threading a while back at Sophia's on Guadalupe and was…read moredisappointed. I looked on Yelp to find an alternate location and came across Nahid's. Making an appointment was easy...I called and schedule one for the next day. She makes evening appointments, too, which is great for those of us who work during the day. Nahid was prompt and started on time. She has two rooms in the Gallery of Salons at Northcross. The threading takes place in the interior salon area. Her room was clean and comfortable. She did a fantastic job with my eyebrows and spent a lot of time making sure they were exactly how I wanted them. Her technique was great and she didn't pluck (as sometimes other do with threading). $15 for threading was not bad. Others may charge less, but they are less skilled and precise than Nahid. I will definitely return!

My therapist (Julie) took the time to listen to where I wanted her to focus her time and was able to sense the exact pressure I needed which is the sign of a great massage therapist! Also her techniques were very unique. I've had a lot of massages from different therapists and I always enjoy different methods of massage. She found all the tension and applied the perfect increase in pressure to work out the knots without causing pain. I was expecting pain and instead was pleasantly surprised. I would highly recommend Volt 31 for anyone needing a massage and chiropractor- it is a legit professional place that has thought through every little detail.
