If you're planning to have a spa day with your friend on a busy holiday weekend call weeks ahead…read more Although our facial and wraps were okay we were unable to get our massages done to timing issues. The whole experience felt rushed and a therapist nor the client should have to feel a job was incomplete. Edited: I understand someone was sick and couldn't complete help complete the massage. Parking was vague and we were never provided a code for the door prior to visit like we were told. Edited: Not a massage therapist critiquing this review. A client of one at home. My opinion is my opinion...never judge someone else's experience find out for yourself. As to the owner thank you for attempting to make our trip the most it could be.

I googled and chose Essential Escape ... not familiar with the area, I lucked out! My 60 minute session with Mikala was exactly what I needed! She asked about where my pain was, the intensity I preferred and checked on me throughout the massage. The atmosphere was soothing with soft background music and a pleasing scent of orange (which she asked about before diffusing). If I lived here I would definitely be a regular but may plan trips back for massage therapy in the future!

The best body scrub I have gotten! They were very polite and thorough. I would return here again…read moreand again to get this treatment. My husband got the gentleman's facial and was pleased as well. His face was glowing and he said it was a great experience. I wish they had offered cucumber water there however they did give us mimosas which was a big plus. It was nice and tranquil. The scrub smelled pleasant and so did their products they used on me.

Stayed at many places in Fredericksburg for $210 a night. Palo Alto Creek Farm delivers a unique…read moreexperience blending modern day and 1800's charm. Think about an olden house with modern amenities like fridge, hot tub, TV, microwave, and electric fireplace. Thankfully, I didn't even have to churn my own butter. Just a few miles off the strip we arrived at the barn. One of four options when staying at the farm. Makes no sense to even beat around the bush, the goats, nearby donkeys, and the deer....WE LOVE THIS PLACE! Provided breakfast food from Lupe included casserole style muffins with sausage, eggs, cheese, and hash browns. Next days breakfast was similar with ham, eggs, and cheese muffins. Both served with sour cream, Serrano based red salsa, and fresh fruit from the local HEB. Nothing like strawberries and cantaloupe with a pinch of table salt. Again, old school meets modern. I knew the salsa wasn't made by a German! Finally, we escape from our own personal ranch to get away from our extremely needy cats and child. What do you get as temporary residents of said property? Old Mouser Cats! The herd was 60% I'm not even gonna let me touch followed by a few tidbits of love and screaming into the door you just entered to settle down. PET ME NOW!!! Sweet creatures. Made this weekend perfect! Note the Yelp pics of the diverse movie selections for your viewing pleasure. Young Guns was still in the DVD player followed by the wife's selections of murder mystery...murder mystery...followed by the local forecast. Hot tub was used by the wife; I had to abstain due to a recent surgery. Next time we visit the barn we will be in full force!

I go to Genesis and see Jeanette Tilley and she is so soft and gentle and it doesn't hurt at all! Kathy Simmons will give you one price then when the procedure is done she charges you more than what was quoted. I have talked with many ladies with the same story. My daughter had credit on her account and Kathy Simmons stole her $758.00 credit. She told her she had her credit there for too long, and the books were screwed up. She said, I will settle with you for $78.00. Do not trust Kathy Simmons!!! You can not trust this place, they have told me personally on the phone their book are screed up!!!

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Scott last week to get my hair colored and a trim…read more Scott was really nice and gave me the cut and color I asked for. He's very informative about his community and neighbors. He stays booked out two months, but I'm so happy I was able to get in on a last minute cancellation. He and his partner also have attached to the salon a juice/smoothie bar as well as a yoga studio. They also have a pet grooming business in town in which also offers hand made pet treats. The salon holds a very expansive selection of hair care and makeup products from Aveda. I was able to meet his lovely esthetician who came out to offer a nice hand massage while I waited on my color. There is also a very cute courtyard in behind the salon to enjoy your juice or smoothie. I really loved the Asian combs he has on display and the story he told about how his friends had collected them and I would highly recommend Scott for your hair needs or just stop by for some juice and a snack for your best friend. So much more than just a hair salon.

I appreciated the way he integrated many different techniques depending on what each area was needing, it was all super on point, quite unique and very much needed! I've had too many massages to count and now it will be hard for me to get massages anywhere else, which sucks coz I don't even live in TX Thanks CJ!

Parking: Plenty of spots, which makes arriving stress-free…read more Service: Everyone is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment you walk in. Therapists: I love that they have so many therapists and offer late hours, which makes scheduling super easy. I usually book male therapists for deep tissue, and they do an excellent job. Madriz and Tres are especially amazing -- very skilled, professional, and know exactly how to work through tension. Membership: I have a monthly membership and it's absolutely worth it. Great value if you go regularly. Theres different tiers of massage therapists. Keep in mind for tier 2 & up, you pay extra on top of the membership fee. The only con is that the prices have skyrocketed from when I first started coming here. Overall, Oak Haven is my go-to for consistent, high-quality deep tissue massages. Highly recommend if you want real therapeutic work, not just a relaxing spa massage.

I came here last month with my partner for a couples massage. Prior to coming in to get the…read moremassage, I exchanged several communications via text with Isla. Our conversations involved the type of pain I was experiencing and why this pain was occurring. When we came into the entryway, we were greeted warmly and then asked to fill out some forms to disclose any health issues as well as any concerns. My partner was shocked when we entered the foyer as I had not disclosed what we'd be doing when we arrived in Fredericksburg. During the massage, Isla described to my partner the types of movements and decompression exercises that could be done to alleviate pain points. Both of our messages were enjoyable and the hospitality shown here was unparalleled. We both walked away feeling refreshed. #supportlocal

From someone who gets massages regularly I can say without a doubt this was one of the very best! Ricardo was fabulous! I told him I just wanted relaxation as I am mom of multiple kids. The whole experience was completely relaxing. The pressure was on point and he let me just enjoy in peace. I will definitely ask for him again! We went for a couples massage so my husband had a different massage therapist, Isla. She was also fantastic! My husband has arthritis and knee trouble she completely crafted his massage specifically for him. He is enjoyed it immensely. She is extremely knowledgeable, if you are an athlete looking for a great massage, she is your person. If you are in Fredericksburg, TX check this little gem out, you will not be disappointed!
