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.

My acne scars were pretty severe, but I was looking at photos from last Christmas and noticed a huge difference! In addition to all the services Ashley offers, Ashley is just a great person. Having someone be so close to your face every month is very intimidating. However, Ashley makes the process very comfortable and explains everything that is happening. She is very professional yet can kick back and hold great conversations. She never judges you about what's happening on your face or in your life! Facials and therapy all in one! haha! She also started a monthly plan which I highly recommend if you plan on having great skin! Ask about it when you make your appointment!

The front office staff couldn't care less. Then go have lunch (PF Changs brought in by a vendor/sales rep) while we still wait. Very unprofessional.

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!

I am not unreasonable; I understand the risk of under-eye filler and that this can happen. But it's the way the situation was handled that bothers me. She pushed a product that she knew wouldn't help fix her own mistake, gaslighted me, and gave me the runaround. Is this someone you want to do your injections with? I have been a member of their monthly club for over a year, and I've noticed several unprofessional events here and there. The last straw was when I got under-eye filler. I started to bruise immediately, and Dr. Desai blamed the bruising on my body(gas lighting); some of it was from me bruising easily, but most of it was from her messing up during the injection, which led to a black eye. She pushed a $50 topical product on me, knowing that wouldn't do a thing to help the black eye. Please see the first photo below. I had a black eye for two months after the injection that has still not entirely gone away; when I sent an email, including the second photo below, to the office, they invited me to come back in. When I entered the office, they did not have me sign legal documents; I went straight back into the exam rooms, where they took more photos. Dr. Desai came into the room to tell me that she could do nothing. SO WHY HAVE ME COME BACK IN AND WASTE MY TIME? After all, I sent a photo in my original email. That is what I asked her. She responded that she couldn't tell what was happening from the photo in my email(as she zoomed into a picture of my face that her staff JUST TOOK ). At this point, I felt she was insulting my intelligence, if I am honest. She knew she wouldn't do anything before inviting me in. Otherwise, I would have signed legal documents before entering the exam room. As a business owner myself, she should have just been HONEST and given me a choice after reviewing my email, for example, "It looks like XYZ is happening, which I cannot fix, but I would be happy for you to come in, and I can take a closer look," instead of wasting more of my time. I asked for a refund for the under-eye filler for living with a black eye for two months and being given the runaround. She declined. I am not unreasonable; I understand the risk of under-eye filler and that this can happen. But it's the way the situation was handled that bothers me. She pushed a product that she knew wouldn't help fix her own mistake, gaslighted me, and gave me the runaround. Is this someone you want to do your injections with?
