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!

There aren't many ITL Houston spas--that aren't ridiculously priced--with an outdoor pool, hot tub,…read moreand sauna. Blossom Massage has all those, and has been around for a decade-plus with a great reputation. Dunno WHAT took me so long to check them out, but I recently bought a couples massage (which included all-day pool access) as a Christmas gift for my beau. We planned on getting there an hour before our massage to enjoy the hot tub (they requested that we call ahead to let them know and get the heat going). Our massage started promptly on time, and we both opted for deep tissue. I had Deanne, who specializes in Swedish and deep tissue massage (according to her bio on the website)... and let me say she has some STRONG hands. She found all my tension and pain-points and loosened me up. I was honestly a bit sore for days, but in a good way. A great reminder I need to take care of my body post workouts and after long days at the desk... My biggest feedback for them would be to have more info on their website about the pool access and what's offered (towels, robes) and how long we have pool access (it's all day, btw). Before booking, I had to call to get that info; it's be more convenient to add all of that info to their FAQ page. They also allow you to bring snackies, so I brought a fruit, cheese, and tinned fish spread. Also, wondering if they had hot tea service. That's always a nice touch post-massage. Looking forward to booking again!

The Petite Retreat is a cute little business located within the Heights…read more There is plenty of street parking and private lot parking. You enter the building and mention your appointment time to confirm. The front receptionist will give you a new patient information sheet if you are a first-timer at this location. Please wear a mask! I was greeted by the same person who did my massage and facial in the room. I believe this was to reduce the exposure to different clientele, masseuse, and aesthetician during COVID-19. Aromatherapy Facial (1 hour): No extraction is included this facial. I feel like the same 4 products were used 3-4X in this 1-hour facial. How do I know? One of the products was quite irritating to my face.... a very slow burn every time it was applied. I would not do this again. Ultimate/Petite Retreat Signature Massage (1.5 hours): It seems 1.5 hours was equally spread out with 3 sections - back, legs, then upper. Some parts were decent without much pressure. I've experienced better body massages, but I give credit that I was about to fall asleep at the end. It was halfway of this massage when the hot stones were placed. There are 2-3 different essential oils used for aromatherapy. Extra $30 for CBD incorporation. Per its website, "Hemp CBD targets pain, reduces inflammation, reduces soreness from a deep tissue massage, and promotes calmness." Would I come back? It is not a must come back massage parlor for me.

Surprisingly this place doesn't open until 10am, but yesterday I got a 9Am cupping therapy session…read more Absolutely worst ever. The message therapist had no clue what she was doing, the cups kept falling off on the floor. She abandoned cupping altogether and started an extremely deep tissue upper back massage because I was "very tense." The cups didn't stay on my body more than 45 seconds, and not more than 2 at one time. This woman was completely ignorant of the technique- it would have been better if they just said they didn't have the availability. I am really have a hard time believing she was a certified massage therapist. Trying not to be mean I just wrapped up the massage and proceeded straight to the front. I don't see any certificates and I don't want to be rude to ask - but I'm never coming back so it doesn't matter. I had been here a few times and that made it may last. The problem is: I'm more sore TODAY than I was going in. And down I have a headache from the deep tissue mess she was going in my traps. I play tennis the morning and life must go on but she did more damage than good. Never, ever going back. There are so many places in Houston to get cupping therapy, this was a joke!

Perla was my esthetician, and she was absolutely incredible--knowledgeable, gentle, and so thorough in explaining every step of the process. The treatment itself was comfortable (with numbing of course) , and the results are definitely noticeable. My skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even, and it has that healthy glow I've been trying to achieve for a while. The epidermal leveling add-on made a huge difference in how well my skin absorbed products afterward. This service is truly worth it, especially in Perla's hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about results and your overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this to anyone looking to invest in their skin.

The owner kept everything running smoothly and on schedule, never made us feel rushed which allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. We were greeted with champagne and a charcuterie board, which was really nice. We had massages, facials, and foot detoxes, and every single service was exceptional. The staff treated us like queens and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of the entire time. The spa itself is beautiful and was the perfect size, which made it very intimate and private. One of my favorite parts was that the entire spa was closed to the public and reserved just for our group. That alone made the experience feel extra special and personal. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just want a luxurious, private spa day, I highly recommend Camellia Alise. I would absolutely go back!
