I was a Skoah founding member going back to when the spa/salon first opened in 2019. When I signed…read moreup it was my first time joining a membership based spa/salon for anything and I am aware that quite a few of them have existed and come and gone over the years. In the beginning I had a top-notch experience. Member treats, including more lip balm than I ever needed, and many product samples, a few of which I have yet to use. Today, the member treats seem to be a thing of the past and the prices (for new members) have gone up significantly. The experience was still very good, just not quite up to the top-notch label anymore. Despite this, if you are looking for a membership based spa/salon for facials, Skoah is still one of the better deals out there. The non-member prices are higher but still somewhat competitive. The products are good quality, though to me they do seem a bit high-priced compared to others I have found that seem to work just as well. I will concede I may be a bit more budget-sensitive than the type of customer Skoah is really aiming for. The two main reasons I cancelled my membership are because I felt I was ready for a change regarding my skin care routine and the membership model didn't work for me anymore at this point in time. Those are reasons specific to me personally and probably will not apply to most people reading this.

I'm turning 30 soon and wanted to make skin care and facials a part of my monthly routine. I found…read moreSkoah through Yelp and it didn't disappoint. The booking process online was super straight forward, and even when I called to reschedule, they were able to accommodate me with no problem. I love the modern, clean atmosphere in the shop and the treatment room was spacious! The warming beds are a great touch and I loved the personal note and lip balm they leave for you. I appreciated that my esthetician told me the benefits of the Skoah skin care line without pushing them on me. I walked away with my skin feeling baby smooth and clean. The only hesitation I have for becoming a member is that there was only a small range of facials offered. Because of my skin type I would like to have the option of more intense peels or microdermabrasion.

From the moment I walked in, the experience was absolutely wonderful. The staff was incredible from…read moredoor to door -- welcoming, attentive, and truly focused on customer experience.

I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. I cannot recommend this spa enough -- I will absolutely be back.

This spa is beautifully decorated with many amenities to make it a relaxing experience. There are…read morelarge waiting areas in different areas that are decorated in calm, neutral colors with plenty of seating. Light snacks, like cranberries and nuts are provided along with hot tea options, and citrus flavored water. The space is very nice. There are locker rooms with plush spa robes and complementary slippers. The locker room has two steam showers if you want to wash yourself after your massage. They also provide hair products to try as well as a Dyson hair dryer. I was definitely very impressed with the luxurious feel of the spa, however, was turned off by the receptionist who checked me in - her robotic, transactional nature was starkly juxtaposed against the warmth of the spa. I noticed she was the same with all customers so it wasn't personal but interaction with her was unsettling. I booked the 60min signature hydrafacial and the esthetician was welcoming and willingly customized my facial based on my requests. No major issues encountered but I noticed we started 10 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early so I thought marketing it as a 60min experience was a bit misleading. Also note the 60min Signature Hydrafacial does not include any hand/neck massages nor boosters nor light therapy so the $285 price was much more expensive than my usual spa. I will not return for another facial but may try massage in the future. We also booked pedicures and again the space is beautiful!! We were given a palette to select colors and the ladies were extremely friendly! My toes came out adorable! I found the seating to be very uncomfortable for a short person despite many pillows placed behind me for support so I honestly struggled to enjoy the experience but the space was very nicely decorated and clean looking. We were offered tea and snacks at the beginning as well. Overall, this was a very nice spa. I found it fairly expensive and overpriced, but I recognize beautiful spaces have a cost and that's what I should've expected in the River Oaks area. There is complementary validated parking!

This had never been an issue before. 2 years later I'm still dealing with the dark scarring from them. When I reflect upon my experience here, I initially dismissed how unsanitary the room was but I feel it's worth mentioning now. I had seen all the good reviews before going, and dismissed it while I was there, and I was in and out so quickly and I was mostly hairless after, so at FIRST I was like ok well she did a good job and it was fast. However the ingrowns nightmare came for me soon after despite me doing what I always do to prevent it, and years later I'm still embarrassed by the scars it left.

It was a little hard to find but her daughter guided me there on the phone while I was lost. Initially it was a little off putting as I thought they might not be as sanitary because the wax was dark colored. I later found out she doesn't use wax but sugar. This process reduces irritation to the skin & is less painful. In my 35 years of life, I have only been waxed once when I was 19 for a pool party. I vowed never to do it again because of all the pain & skin irritation I experienced afterwards. There was minimal pain & absolutely no skin issues after this procedures. I was in & out in less than 20mins. Highly recommend, especially for avid waxers. ENTER FREELY, they've been Approved:)

When I found this place last year, I loved it so much, and told myself that I would make this a…read moreregular spot for every visit to Houston. Unfortunately today I have changed my mind because the training has either changed or this new price hike makes me pause....The 3 star rating is averaged from my 2 visits = 5 for the first visit, 1 for this one. I got the Face Form Facial because I love a great facial lymphatic massage (the real "k-beauty" secret), and I got a fantastic sculpting massage during my first visit. So I upgraded for this one and added a PureLift booster. The aesthetician zapped me (it was honestly cool!) for several minutes on each side (then my forehead? ...which was a bit odd and gave me a headache...). Yes, there are muscles there but using the same intensity as my cheeks is not a great choice... Then came the part I looked forward to enjoying: Face Form Facial. It lasted maybe 10 minutes.......with too light of pressure for any classification of a massage. It felt like she was patting my face and rubbing my cheeks the way I greet my puppy. My visit started at 10:30 and my aesthetician announced that we were done at 10:55. I was surprised....I thought it was 30 minutes for the Face Form facial and I didn't realize the booster would cut into my time. I didn't want to argue since I found the facial unsatisfactory, so I said things were fine and even tipped her 18% (bc if this is the training at fault, I don't want to punish the aesthetician for doing her job as instructed). I told the front desk that I liked my visit bc my aesthetician was a nice person, but after further reflection, I am bothered by this new approach (= allowing boosters to cut into the facial time, and not giving an adequate level of massage as experienced during my first visit). This visit cost me $175 with 18% tip included.....for a 25 minute visit with 2 intermittent gaps of care (I remember staring at the bright ceiling and wondering where she went). I live in Los Angeles and I don't usually flinch from shelling over serious money for self-care and indulgences, but this was absolutely not worth it and I will not be returning.

Every individual on staff is highly competent and offers great conversation and a welcoming personality. Dr. McNamara provides exceptional care. He is always on time, knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and kind. One of the many things that has impressed me is that Dr. McNamara has never tried to promote anything unnecessary or costly. In fact quite the opposite is true, he has steered both my husband and I to less expensive treatments when there were options, and has reduced or waived additional fees when I've come in for a check in appointment. When presented with a suggestion for a service, I was provided information to consider and the rest was up to me. No pressure. I also want to take time to applaud each of the amazing men I've had the pleasure of meeting in their various capacities (Dr. McNamara, Walter, and Jose), for each being dynamic, and highly skilled in their respective roles, and for also sharing the ethical and attractive quality of never fishing for insecurity in a person in order to push product or services. That quality can be far too rare in this industry. I really believe this to be a business that is an exception to that rule. It is a practice where elective services are client lead and based on the professionals truly wanting the best outcomes for their patients. These are just a few of the countless reasons that I feel blessed to have found them and I will keep coming back. The glowing reviews are absolutely accurate and exceedingly well deserved!
