Had a great appointment with Lindsay! I have really sensitive skin and she set me at ease in explaining everything she'd be putting on my skin during my facial. Her space was clean and cozy; I left feeling relaxed and glowing. read more

Lindsay has the magic touch. Every stroke and rub is so deftly and purposefully done - relaxing, soothing, and just perfect. I feel like a blob of clay being expertly massaged into a masterpiece. She has been taking on new clients since the pandemic - and I was so thrilled as she hasn't been available for many years. I started having my husband go as well and he really enjoys the facials. After the treatment, she'll email you the list of products used. You'll receive the invoice over email as well so you can pay in the comfort of your own home. Her schedule is still booked pretty solid so make sure you book early online or give her a call. read more

I found Lindsay's services on a whim on Yelp, probably about 10 years ago as I was trying to start doing better with self care and relaxation. Her facials aren't your average facials, they are relaxation experiences approached with good vibes and kindness. She'll tailor the experience based on your skin needs, always going above and beyond. She even allowed me to bring my baby when she was little and kept an eye on the stroller for me so I could relax. The location- make sure to check your email or website for parking, but it's a sweet like house with a salon next door. The products- some homemade, many for source vital, always high qualify. The pricing- it probably seems high at first but after your first visit, you'll understand why. It's worth budgeting for it. Availability- book early and not too close big events. That said, Lindsay was able to get my friend in before her wedding for the only relaxation of her wedding week. Covid- stays up to date on precautions and follows them at her salon. read more

I found Dharma Skin Spa by looking up holistic spas on google... she had lots of good reviews so I figured I'd give it a try. Lindsay was a dream esthetician, so kind and warm. I got the repair facial which was very relaxing and she worked her magic with all the face massage-- that was amazing. All the products had a lovely smell as well. I loved her space, nice and cozy! I left feeling relaxed, grounded and skin glowing. read more

I really wanted to try this place out but I've called 10 times within the hour and even tried 3 times scheduling online. I find it odd that they don't have any available appointments in the future ?!? read more

Dharma Skin Spa - They don't pick up the phone and the online booking link doesn't work. - Skin Care Near Me - Houston, Texas

I got the Dharma Facial this week. This is an 1.5 hour spa treatment differs from the Dalia in that it includes a mask, extractions and some other extra touches. Lindsay was kind enough to "go gentle" on the extractions since I had small plans for the weekend, and she also extended an invitation for me to come back the following week to complete any last "zaps." The massage was just as heavenly as I remembered from my visit a month before, and those same smells helped calm all my worried and stressed-out nerves. I love this little spa retreat. read more

Cannot recommend this place enough. Super clean, smells delicious, and the vibes are immaculate I got the replenish facial and my skin is glowing. Lindsay does a great job. I'll definitely be back! read more

I've been going to Lindsey for a little over a year now. She is AMAZING. I love that she uses all clean, natural products - no chemical peels here! Everything is so purposeful and the attention to detail is unparalleled. I usually have a low tolerance for pain but she's so gentle that even the extractions don't hurt! She will always remember you when you walk in, down to the details and stories you shared! She was my go-to for my wedding prep. So worth it! read more

Dharma Skin Spa is officially my new go-to for facials! I booked the Replenish Facial with Lindsay and walked away feeling so clean, refreshed, and relaxed. Loved the cozy setup and the attention she paid to every detail of the process. Great hidden gem that I would highly recommend to anyone. read more

One of my favorite places in Houston! I have been seeing Lindsay for years and, as a transplant to Houston, there are few places I feel more home, comforted or welcome than in Lindsay's amazing set up in Montrose. Her energy is calming and so friendly, she pays close attention to her clients' changing needs over time and her facials yield amazing results. Highly recommend! read more

L-O-V-E the facials at Dharma. I was there last weekend to get a facial and I have to say: I was impressed, pleased, happy and definitely convinced that this is THE place to get facials! Thank goodness I purchased a gift certificate from Hawt on Yelp!! I got my facial for half price, and at full price it is still worth every penny. Darn, I should so have purchased a few more!! Dharma has a very relaxed and cozy feel. I really like spas with dimmed lights. When I made it to Dharma I met Lindsay (the owner), who is super nice and so friendly. I just loved her cheery attitude. The facial includes a leg massage and I have to say: OMG!!! I wish I could just fall asleep there for a few hours! I would sleep like a baby! That's how relaxing this facial is! Lindsay extracted EVERYTHING that she could find from my skin. I swear she even made sure nothing was left behind my ears!! hahaha, I thought that was just so funny. My skin feels fabulous right now, and it will continue to do so because I am SOLD. I am and will continue to be a loyal customer from this day forth (if I were religious I would add an AMEN right here!). P.s. I thought it was great that she sends you an email after the facial with the products she used. read more

Lindsay is the best. Has such a great heart and good at what she does. I love the ambience of the place and the layout. It feels very homey and relaxing. Got the replenish facial and would recommend. Thanks for always squeezing me in and being flexible read more

I had my best facial yet with Lindsey! It was just what I was looking for. The place is cozy and intimate. The atmosphere was very relaxing and soothing. Lindsey was great at helping me relax and unwind. I left feeling refreshed mentally and physically! My skin feels renewed! read more

OH EM GEE. Lindsay is incredible! Words really can't describe how amazing the experience was. Lindsay truly loves what she does. I came in for a facial and massage and she explained every step of the process. Every step was so relaxing, I loved the hot steam and the techniques she used for facial massage. She also did extractions, and used a super cool zapper tool to help promote healing. All the products she used were natural, and you can purchase them from her store. I literally left a brand new woman. All expectations exceeded-best facial experience hands down!! Stay up to date on her openings on her Instagram! @dharmaskinspa read more

Oh Wow! I have finally found the perfect place for a facial. The whole experience was so wonderful and I can't get over how nice and personable both Lindsay and Shanelle are. You can tell they both have super compassionate souls and truly want to provide the best service. Not once did I feel rushed during my appt. I got the indulge facial which includes extractions and a neck/shoulder/back/foot massage. Lindsay was outstanding, I felt like I was literally on cloud 9. She kept me up to date on exactly what she was doing. The treatment bed was heated and like half water or something ... I don't know but it was nothing short of AMAZING. I can't wait to come back. Worth every penny. read more

Lindsay is super friendly and makes you feel very comfortable right away. One of the best facials I have ever received. Checked prices/reviews for spas in the area and did not like what I saw. Happened to stumble upon this little gem and because of the reviews had to check it out. I had a busy schedule before I left and she was able to work me in because of a cancellation. Told her that I was going on a trip so she did not perform super rough extractions and make my skin all red a blotchy like I've experienced before. My skin looked great for my vacation and I thank Lindsay for that. . She is very experienced in her practice and it shows in her work. If your a guy and enjoy a good facial go see Lindsay. Thanks Lindsay and I'll be back. read more

Christian was one of the nicest estheticians I've ever met. This hands down might be the best facial I've ever had and the best sleep I had when I went home. I'll definitely be returning read more

I wish there were more stars you could offer! 10/10 I recommend booking with Lindsey. I have had facials in the past, but my experience here is rated number one. My skin looked amazing after the appointment and is still looking great! The COVID standards implemented make you feel safe while being treated here but still offer a very relaxing atmosphere. I recommended to multiple friends after my facial service to book, and highly recommend on here to book, too. You won't regret it! read more

My first facial ever was with Lindsey. I chose her because of all the reviews I read online and was not disappointed at all. I wanted something to compare her to, so I went on to try other people that were recommended to me and even the triple diamond spa at the Post Oak Hotel. I can now saw with my experience and knowledge that Lindsey is by far the BEST!!!! She really takes her time and makes the whole experience so relaxing and really addresses your issues. Part of me didn't want to post a review, because I love how small and intimate her business is and would love to keep her as my little hidden gem. read more

LIFE CHANGING! I booked the Indulge Facial with Cara for my birthday and it was seriously the highlight of the day. Cara did such an amazing job of making me comfortable and at ease, and took her time to explain what she was dong and what to expect. I gotta admit I was a little scared, it was my first facial, but I really shouldn't have been. LOVED the shoulder and foot massages as well! I will also say that although I've never had extractions before, they were a little uncomfortable, but nothing compared to what I expected. So completely in love with my experience I immediately book a Dharma Facial for next month. Treat Yourself! My only regret is I cant afford to do it weekly lol. EDIT 10/01/16 I received a call today that Cara is no longer at this place and my next appointment was canceled and there is no way to book a service with ANYONE here anymore. So onto a new spa it goes. This sucks because I was really looking forward to getting a Dharma Facial. Took off one star. read more

I thought I'd start out 2011 by reviewing an independently-owned business in the good old Montrose area. I had the address but almost missed it! There is not a sign that is visible from the street. Dharma is located on the left portion of a duplex on the north side of Welch. I knew of Lindsay when she was located at Dot Dot Salon, but, at the time, I was going to Chrysalis for my facials. Lately I have been in flux about Chrysalis so I decided to give Dharma a try. I booked the Indulge Facial, and, before we began, Lindsay gave me a detailed description of what I could expect. A couple of steps were invigorating and quite potent so it was nice to have the heads-up. She uses Source Vital products which are based right here in Houston. They have a holistic philosophy and create products using algae powders, seaweed, plant extracts, and pure essential oils. Also they are not tested on animals. The great advantage to getting the Indulge Facial is that there is a neck, back, and foot massage included! I am used to getting deep tissue massages which are therapeutic but not relaxing. So when I found myself almost in dream land when Lindsay softly tells me my facial is over, it took me a minute or two to come back to reality. Next time just let me sleep. ;P Kudos to a great Houston business! read more

I had been trying to get in with Lindsay for a few weeks but it was during the time that she was expanding her business so took a little longer to get in. Eventually it turned out that Lindsay was not taking new clients but she had two new team members who were. With all the positive reviews on yelp I made my way to Cara for a relaxing 1.5 hour Dharma Facial (more like 2 hours) which was great. The spa is small and only has one table but once the treatment started I felt very relaxed. Looking back, I realize that the price of the facials increased substantially between the time I first tried to get an appointment and when I eventually did. If memory serves me, the Dharma facial (the most expensive one) increased from $125 to $180 which is a 44% jump. Granted, Lindsay made major changes to the business (expanded, I'm presuming due to demand) and so that is fine. I guess I understand those prices if you were to see Lindsay who is tried, tested, and obviously amazing based on all the reviews - but I am not sure these prices are justified for her new estheticians who do not have the same breadth of experience as Lindsay. While Cara was good, I believe she is new to the field (per the dharma website - "I am a recent graduate of the Institute of Cosmetology and Esthetics" and I don't think the price tag fits her experience level. read more

I was well overdue for a facial and found this gem thanks to my fellow yelpers and their reviews! I called the day before and got to make an appointment with Cara, as Lindsay, is no longer accepting new clients. Prior to my appointment, Lindsay gave me a run through of some of the different type of facials that mat be of benefit to me. The spa is actually located in a home ( turned into a business). It smelled wonderful, dimmed lights, and very cozy. I got the Replenish- 45 min $90. This facial included extractions but Cara went gentle, and still got the job done. The treatment includes, two cleanses, exfoliation, steam and warm towels.The service I choose was all that it was supposed to be and very relaxing on top of that! The products used, kept my face feeling great for the next 3 days! I notice a difference in my skin and I absolutely cannot wait to go back and get another facial. I highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a quick facial or a mini retreat! . read more

I'll admit, this review is LONG overdue. I had my Dharma (hour and a half) facial months and months ago, but Yelp and I were going through separation, so... WIth that being said, the facial was incredible! Unfortunately, I am a teacher, so I can't throw down $120 for this kind of luxury very often, but I highly recommend going if/when you can. Occasionally Lindsay offers specials, but she's worth every penny you spend...she's super friendly, makes you feel comfortable, and the facial is so relaxing and your skin will glow. Go, go, go! read more

I had the pleasure of getting the Dharma facial with Lindsay the first time during the Yelp Spa Week when she worked over at Dot Dot Salon. The service was great but full price was a bit cost-prohibitive for me. Fast forward a few months and Lindsay opened her own salon, Dharma Skin Spa, with the same great service and lower prices! She uses all organic ingredients in her facials and her signature, The Dharma is an hour and a half of full-on cleaning and bliss! Besides the cleansing, exfoliating, getting rid of unsightly blackheads and the like, you also get extremely pampered, including a back/shoulder, neck/head, hands and foot massage. I left glowing, skin hydrated beyond belief and will definitely be back soon! A few days later, she emailed me the products we used, including all the ingredient listings, so I know whats going in my skin. She's kept in touch with me and offered if I have a deep zit that I can't remove myself, to come on over and let her take care of it for me (for free.) Now that is service! She's like your best friend who's looking out for your skin... Get yourself to Lindsay and let her pamper you too! UPDATE: Since she moved to her new salon, Lindsay's been advertising specials and her NEW REFER A FRIEND PROGRAM... For every customer you refer, you'll get 25% discount on your next service OR you can save up and get a free facial after 4 referrals, This is a great way to keep your skin beautiful and save money too-- don't forget to tell her Gina M. sent you! read more

Holy cats, Lindsay is amazing! If I had the choice of hopping aboard a weekend cruise ship or receiving the Indulge facial 3 times, I'd go for the facials. First, Lindsay went out of her way to squeeze in my last-minute appointment so I could be polished clean for a wedding the next weekend. She was clear on timing expectations and worked within the time frame we discussed so I could be punctual to my next appointment, and she was so conscientious to keep track of time so that I could totally trust her and relax into the experience. Aside from the excellent customer service, Lindsay's aesthetician skills, product choices, and ability to create a comfortable space are all top notch. My husband got an earful this evening about how blissful the experience was; I forewarned him that he may also receive a gift certificate to check it out for himself! -------- Update: I've since returned for another Indulge facial and I'm hooked. Excellent!!! And I agree with other reviews on here; Lindsay is positive re: skin care and the results are wonderful and lasting. read more

First I would like to thank all the fellow yelpers for making my day. It was my birthday yesterday and I found no better way to pamper myself other than an hour of Indulge massage from Lindsay after a long day at work. Well what can I say.. each word was right from the previous reviews and she was absolutely friendly and great at her work! I also got a free chin wax and she was very caring to call a cab for me:) Above that, the email from her also had a 10% discount coupon, which I am totally using... Attention yelpers: Lindsay is giving 15% discount for all the first timers referred by yelp!! (That made my Indulge facial $81 only:) read more

I JUST left Dharma Skin Spa about an hour ago. Lindsay was booked but I called for a quick extraction job before I left on vacation. She squeezed me in for a quick appointment. I've been lurking her website for some time now because of all the great yelp reviews, and they're all true. She is downright, one of the most genuinely nicest person I've met in the service industry. She worked on a pimple of mine, and got me out within 10 minutes. The only bummer was that I didn't get to experience a full facial treatment from her. The spa is cozy, and clean, and needless to say, I can't wait to book my next appointment and update my review regarding her other services. Thank you Lindsay! read more

Opted for a Dharma Facial upgrade - 1.5 hours of pampering. My skin felt facial-soft for 3 days, the extra face mask was really nice. Extractions are a necessary evil - but Lindsay's was probably the least invasive, or painful, I've had. She thoroughly inspects your skin for those unwanted sights. I had a growing pimple (not yet visible but I felt it under the skin) and she was able to remove it flawlessly... No signs of skin damage or scarring. Skin stays red for about 2-3 days so beware if you have an event on the weekend. Lindsay is a great business owner and works really hard to maintain repeat customers. Book your facials in advance! read more

Lindsay was delivered to me straight from Heaven and if I was gay I would ask her to marry me ;-P No, now seriously: Because I had previously had a facial with her through a Hot on Yelp promotion, I received an excellent deal via email for the Indulge Facial for only $47.50. Now I just simply could not pass up this great deal--the Indulge is regularly $95 and includes the awesome skin products, facial, massage AND extractions!!!! When I left, I felt as I had in my previous review only with much cleaner & clearer skin due to the extraction process (this is a must in my opinion after having both the Dhalia and Indulge facials). I am definitely a happy and future repeat customer! In fact, after re-reading Farrah's review I am stalking the Dharma Facial :-D Dharma Skin Spa--You rock! read more

Lindsay no longer takes new clients so I had the chance to try the new girl (Cara). Let me just say that she was JUST AS GOOD! I truly believe that whoever runs this place does a great job of finding skin care specialists that know what they're doing. I hate extractions so I opted for the Dahlia facial. Cara did an outstanding job and she also educated me on good products to use for daily upkeep. I can't wait for her to bless my face again real soon! read more

Hands down, the best facial I have ever received! Why I heart Dharma Skin Spa: * I share the same name as the owner :) * Massage that made me feel like I was literally floating. * Dreamy aromatherapy. * Intensely exfoliating and healing treatments. * Relaxing, professional atmosphere. * Post-facial email describing the products she used, along with recommendations. Thanks a million Lindsay! read more

I found Dharma Skin Spa on Yelp. From the reviews, it seemed like exactly the place I was searching for: quaint, local, with great service. I have sensitive skin and am getting married in 7 days, so I was simply looking for a facial to remove dirt, excess oil, and mild blemishes. I got so much more!!! The facial itself was warm, intoxicating, and a luxurious experience (the extraction process less so but it was over quickly enough). It was such a nice way to treat myself, and afterwards all of the stress from the wedding and work simply melted away. I will be going back the day before my wedding for a back facial (its a low cut dress), and will probably make a standing monthly appointment. It is the perfect way to step away from the world and just treat yourself to something amazing :) read more

I'd never had a facial before and with my recent move to Houston I'm finding that my skin needs more tender loving care than I've ever had to provide it before. I got a Repair facial from Cara and found the experience very relaxing and my face is glowing now. Cara was helpful and informative before, during and after the facial. I was at ease with her and the atmosphere of home in which Dharma is operated from, the tapestries, lighting and scents are relaxing and welcoming. I plan on visiting again for a Replenish facial as a follow up to my first facial. read more

Lindsay is warn n great. I always love to go to little small cozy places which doesn't have any corporate feel to it. Dharma Skin spa is one such place :) She was great with the facial. Leg and hand massage was exceptionally awesome. I will definitely come back Luv the place :) read more

Christian was very informative and made the facial experience very relaxing. She took time to explain everything she used and followed up with a personalized email discussing products I could use between appointments. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment in advance. read more

From Lindsey, to the atmosphere, to the products... Every moment spent at Dharma Skin Spa was amazing! After reading the reviews, I finally decided to make my appointment. Needless to say, I HAVE to go back. I came out feeling relaxed, fresh faced, and happier than gawd knows what. Save money if you have to! There will be NO regrets! You're awesome Lindsey! Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Cara is great! Never had a facial before I'm almost 99% sure you can't beat an experience like this! I have plenty of female friends and they told me there are always issues because the person doing the massaging is too rough or too gentle or the products are too aggressive but none of these were issues. Cara has an amazing touch and it was never unpleasant or too rough. The crazy water pillow back massage was like...WAIT WHAT IS THIS! I wish someone would do that for hours and I would be such a happy camper! I got the indulge facial and it was 90 minutes of bliss! High recommend it! read more

I got the Dharma facial today and it was fantastic :D. Like everyone said, Lindsay is super friendly and nice, she makes you feel comfortable right away. I feel so relaxed, my face looks great and younger :D, I will be back for sure! Lindsay ist großartig, das facial einfach toll und man fühlt sich danach wie auf Wolken schwebend! Die Preise sind angebracht und man bezahlt wirklich nicht zu viel für diesen tollen Service :). Super! Ich kann es jedenfalls nur empfehlen. read more

After searching for a long time for a good, natural, facial in Houston and after reading all the wonderful reviews, I decided to give Dharma Skin Spa a chance. Cara took care of me and just was very thorough but gentle, and my skin is feeling great! I'm happy to know that all the skin products she used where natural, without any added chemical and she gave a lot of great tips. I bought one of the facial moisturizers from Source Vital and Cara also recommended using other essential oils, and reassured me that oil washing is awesome for my skin. Overall very pleased with the service and I cannot wait to go back. FYI - If you're getting married, start a routine 6+ months in advance. read more
