This was my second visit to Zen Massage, and I'm so glad I decided to give them another chance. My…read morefirst experience wasn't great, but this visit completely changed my opinion. I don't know if I was just exhausted or if Lisa has magical hands, but I walked out feeling like a completely new person. She quickly figured out exactly where my body needed attention and adjusted the pressure and techniques accordingly. It honestly felt like she understood every tight muscle and nerve that needed relief. I left feeling incredibly relaxed, refreshed, and so much lighter. The ambiance was lovely overall. The only minor downside was that my room was close to the main entrance, so I could hear people coming in and out. Next time, I'll request a room farther from the entrance for an even more peaceful experience. I'll definitely be booking Lisa for my massages going forward. Highly recommend her!

I used a Groupon here for an hour massage with aromatherapy and really enjoyed my massage. I asked…read morefor light pressure and received just that. My therapist was very professional and informative. I'd told her after most massages I'm sore and tense. She suggested drinking more water and it worked. I'm not a massage snob so I'm really uneducated when it comes to them but the therapist that day (Maybe Melanie) was very informative. I didn't receive the aromatherapy though. Oh well, this was still a pretty darn good experience.

(Small caveat to my review: I've been seeing Marissa for several years, but she is no longer at…read morethis location. Her sister, Melanie, is equally great, but I've only seen her once or twice and can't give a super thorough review on her or any of the recently hired therapists.) First off, let me preface this by saying I have fibromyalgia and constantly tight muscles. We're talking can't lift arms over head tight; hurts to shake my head no tight; get cramps in back after standing up for 10 minutes tight. Most of the other studios I've been to around town have never, EVER been able to get the knots out of my back. Until I found Marissa and Melanie. They previously worked at another studio in the Cedar Park area and started their own practice in 2014. Marissa is the ONLY therapist I ever saw that provided a deep tissue massage that was both intense-pressure and relaxing. I know this sounds like an oxymoron, but it is an indication that the massage is *working*. For example, I saw another therapist in the area who gave a VERY deep tissue / trigger-point massage, and it HURT. Like, my body was tensing up in response, which just gave more resistence, so he pressed harder, and it hurt more, etc. Not these ladies, though. They do legitimate deep tissue / trigger point massage that digs into your back and gets the knots out, but it is done in a way that exchanges a few seconds of discomfort for immense relief. I fall asleep every time; that's how relaxing it is. To go from "oh my gosh I hurt 10/10 all over" to snoozing on the table? That's the sign of a good massage. (Sorry for the snoring that inevitably happens, ladies.....) The -1 star is for no Marissa anymore, sob :( I do enjoy Melanie and need to try out some of the other new therapists, so a revised review may appear later.

You can customize your scent with the many essential oils she has available. Her massage table is probably the best and most comfortable that I've ever experienced.

I honestly haven't felt this good in weeks due to neck/shoulder and hip/low back pain. I would definitely recommend Leslie to family and friends. The pricing is affordable and I will be returning. Thank you so much, Leslie!

She is a true healer and medical intuitive who instinctively knows where to apply pressure and make light adjustments. She even told me about specific injuries I had not shared.

Lilah is an amazing healer who is well suited for the discriminating client and those in need of a little extra hope. Hands down one of the best healing services I've ever had. Can't wait for my next massage appointment and to check out some of her other specialties.

On our way there, we were told to come 15 minutes later than our reserved time because they were…read morerunning behind. They asked me and my partner individually to do 90 minutes even though we had reserved it for 60. We got there 15 minutes later, but had to wait an additional 15 minutes in the lobby. Would've liked to be told they were running 30 minutes late instead. The massage experience: good pressure and technique. But the overall experience was not detail oriented. The pillows/support items were placed lop-sided and I had to adjust them myself every time. It was difficult to breathe through the liner that covered the spot for the head. The amount of massage oil used was stingy - felt like it was creating more resistance than helping with it. The music kept breaking and they left it like that for like 20 minutes before fixing it. It was altogether very distracting. When I went up to pay, they charged me $146, even though they had previously confirmed over both the phone and text that it would cost $140. I was initially going to use a Groupon that cost $143, but they asked me to pay them directly instead because they would charge me less and because it would be better for the business. I was surprised to see the tips to choose from ranged from ~25 to ~35 (don't remember the actual numbers but it was shockingly high). I did not have a great experience altogether but was still planning to tip 18%. When I tried to type it up myself, the front desk lady said I had to tip 20%, she pulled out a calculator and said that would be $30 (which should have been $28 for $140). It was not a suggestion to change what I was typing. She was telling me to do so. I wasn't bothered by the few dollars, but rather the dishonesty and sneakiness behind the business. One or two wrong things can be a mistake. It was our anniversary and we were really excited to try a new spot. But we unfortunately did not enjoy this experience. We will be going back to our regular spot.

It's probably been a few years since I had a massage, and I have a lot of tight areas - back, hamstrings, quads and calves. I knees firm massage would probably work these the best. I felt the pressure, but I also felt these areas loosening up! It's fair to say you'll be sore the next day, and it's definitely a beneficial type of sore. You can easily book an appointment online and they will text you updates, if you'd like. They also called me to let me know that the masseuse I booked tends to be a firmer pressure type of guy and they wanted to make sure it was a good fit for me. The front desk team is pleasant, and the entire studio is dimly lit to provide you with the relaxation vibes you're looking for. They also offer membership options for those who could use more frequent massages in their lives!
