Shout out to Cynthia for doing such an amazing job and being super sweet and reassuring throughout! We were able to take advantage of their buy one get one 50% off deal and enjoyed a couples massage in one of their rooms which was an extremely relaxing environment with the lighting and music. The table was very comfortable and Cynthia made sure to check in multiple times on things like temperature, positioning, and pressure. Service overall was very friendly - we were offered water before and after the massage.

The space is small and quaint with a few massage rooms and a bathroom. When I walked into my space, there was low lighting, a pink salt lamp, aromatherapy and a fan. I was instantly relaxed. Rhonda was very accommodating. We tried using the pregnant bolster, but my belly was too big. Instead, I laid on my sides and back briefly for a head massage. It was perfect. 60 minutes flew by, but it was all well worth it. Highly recommend getting there early so you have time to settle in. My massaged seemed a bit short because we were making so many adjustments.

I called them to make a booking - quite straightforward and they were very accommodating. I had Sunny as my therapist and she was excellent. Great at adjusting pressure and checking in with me. Her style was more sports/ therapeutic. My husband also had a great massage, but his preferred style was relaxing and easy pressure, his therapist Mila was able to adapt. The prices are reasonable for the quality of experience. The facilities are super clean and spacious, parking is easy, and massages were great.

Over the past three months I have seen five massage therapist from this company and they have all…read morebeen fantastic. Someone from another location mentioned Amy (at this location) and her Cranial Sacral Massages (which is more like reiki I've come to find out) and that really gave me a shift. I have a lot physical work to do and a lot of emotional release to do and the people I worked with were great at both. I have issues with my lumbar and thoracic, a disc that lost fluid, a shoulder that was damaged in childhood and somehow ignored for so long, post-surgical issues for decades- basically I'm now over 40 and falling apart given my history of medical issues (poor genetic luck) and so I decided invest and get massages twice a week for a month and at least weekly for the next month. It's costly but it's cheaper to do a bunch in a month instead of dabbling with it for years and not seeing much progress. I had a friend who was considering a massage but nervous and I advised him to book a half-hour session and see how it goes with the intention of finding a place and person that he feels comfortable buying a full massage once a week for a month since he needs therapeutic work on the body. Point is, the facilities at the two locations I've been to were clean, inviting, and the staff was always appropriately friendly and helpful. How I started with this place was from a Groupon to another massage therapist (Adam) who said I needed a lot of work (which I already knew) and told me he worked with Oak Haven as he was pursuing different avenues in the healing arts but he has a few people at Oak Haven that he really trust with his body and recommended me to them.

The first time I visited Oak Haven Massage, I had a great experience with Christian. He was kind,…read moreknowledgeable, and tailored the massage to my preferred pressure level. My experience with him encouraged me to sign up for the membership, which I tried out for a few months. The price is reasonable at $90 per month which includes one 50 minute massage with a tier 1 therapist. Tier 2 and above are an additional cost. I tried a few different tier 1 therapists and unfortunately didn't have a very relaxing or positive experience with any of them. I also found appointments consistently started late but ended exactly on time, meaning massage time was cut by 5-10 minutes. This was frustrating and needs to be addressed.

Susanna was my "regular" masseuse when I was stationed up in Killeen and would visit Austin. She…read morealways made me feel comfortable and at ease and took the time to chat about me and my needs. 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.

This time around, I was really tempted to stop my lady 5 min into the massage because she just (excuse my language) sucked. I've had several massages in various places around Austin & Dallas, and she clearly had no idea what she was doing. It wasn't even a matter of pressure or how hard she was jabbing me in all the wrong places - she had no idea what she was doing. I wasn't going to stop her just to tell her she sucked at her job. The massage didn't get any better and the hour couldn't have come sooner. I had told my fiancé I was tempted to not provide tip for my lady, but of course, we agreed to tip since we have a background in the service industry. She knocked on the door in a rush to get my fiancé and I to exit upon completion, rushed to put a bottle in his hand, didn't seem to want to give me the other bottle, and then immediately asked "my tip?" Super rude. I've never had anyone ask for a tip immediately after a crapshoot service without even the niceties of small talk & asking how it went. My fiancé wrote down a 20% tip for the service - which is more than fair for what we got - all the while she's trying to see - very blatantly - what he's writing down. She immediately grabs it from him before he could put his pens down and mutters out loud "so sad...". Wow. Just wow. Will never come here again.
