    Wow... just wow. There's a reason this place has nothing but five-star reviews so far. I'd honestly think that anyone giving it any less is just nitpicking. Heck, I was LOOKING for anything short of perfection and I couldn't really find anything substantial. When you walk in, the check in is to the left, a couple of lounge areas (they say one is for members?) is on the right, and a small bar is in the middle. They said they had beer, wine, and spirits. I wouldn't call some of their options top-shelf, but they carried Makers, so I was content. Garrett, who specializes in shoe shine, gave me the tour of the place. They've got an expansive set up with a half dozen barber chairs, a couple of private suites, two hand/foot repair stations (don't call it a manicure/pedicure!), and a "relaxation room" with dim lighting. I was impressed and went with their seven-course service. Michelle was solid-- she asked what I wanted, realized I had nothing in mind, asked a few more questions, and went to work making something that worked for me. She was careful to stick to scissors as much as possible and barely use the electric clippers. Following the haircut came the warm lather neck shave. She applied the hot lather first, let it set, wiped it off with a towel, and finished with what felt like a cold razor at that point. Quick, simple, careful service throughout the whole process. Next up we went over to the relaxation room. It's similar to the set up in the back half of Sport Clips, but much more classy. First up was a hot towel and a shampooing (complete with scalp massage). Then she replaced the towel and did a much faster conditioner and rinse. After providing some hand sanitizer, I dipped my hands in the paraffin hand dip and she wrapped the wax-coated hands with plastic bags, led me back to the barber chair, and leaned it all the way back into the type of recline you get on a first class plane seat. Another hot towel led to a relaxing wait that almost put me to sleep. The neck, shoulder, and hand massage followed. As she worked her way down my hands, she got all the wax removed from them as well. She did a quick styling of my hair, and we were good to go. Up front, Garrett took care of a touch up shoe shine. I'd had my boots shined a couple of weeks ago, and they were still in pretty good shape, but he did a great job going over them, removing the remaining shine, and replacing it with a full job. I don't think this was part of the seven course deal, but rather something included since they had an opening special going on. Altogether, the staff is very friendly, goes out of their way to get to know you, and the service is superb. At several points, they referenced the membership and it seems to be the main way they operate-- with people paying a monthly fee to come in a certain number of times a month for cuts and other services. The only knocks on this place have to be the location and the pricing. The Galleria area makes sense for such a high end operation, but traffic on 610 makes it prohibitive to come here regularly. They are looking to open more locations, including one in CityCentre, so I may end up frequenting that one. Also, the $55/$65/$85 price points are a lot more than I'm used to paying for a hair cut, even with the amazing additional services. For those who can afford it, I'm sure it's worth it, but until I'm some kind of oil/financial CEO, I'll settle for keeping visits to special occasions.

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!

When I walked-in, I was greeted kindly and the wait time was nonexistent. The place is basic with white walls, ~4-6 private rooms and 1 restroom (accessible). I was offered a special on a Brazilian (buy one, get one free). Now, the follow-up session went better than I expected. The tech was mindful of the wax's temperature and asked me before starting. I've been burned before at a different shop, so this aspect of the experience made all the difference. The second time I was here I agreed to waxing my underarms for something like $22. She didn't hold my skin tight enough and it hurt more than it needed to. My skin was extra raw and still not smooth, no oil afterwards. I carry a roll on coconut oil so that helped me out. While I'm accustomed to waxing--creams, powder, strips, sugar, etc.--no aftercare counseling provided. They is a poster on the room's wall I was in that covers a few key points, but it is not enough information. The location is convenient. Note: I asked for sugar, but I'm still not 100% sure if it's 100% that. Whatever they used seems like a quality product though. They Note: If you have curly hair, no preventative care. Be careful treating ingrown hairs if you DIY.
