UPDATE: Here's a lesson in how to make a problem worse:…read more Since my review, the spa web page has been updated and they have corrected their web page to show that the 18% fixed gratuity will be added to all services (before it was only specified on coulpes and corporate events. Then they wrote to me telling me it WAS on their web page, trying to pass this off as my mistake. Nice try, Spa on Lake. Now you get 1 star. ================ Previous review ============== I scheduled a single massage treatment for my wife for Mother's Day. I'm sad to report that my wife LOVED her massage, but I am steaming mad. At checkout time the attendant charged me a mandatory 18% gratuity which was never mentioned on the website or phone conversations. The website only mentions this 18% fixed gratuity for couples massages and corporate events. NOT for single massages. Since it was Mother's Day and my wife was standing right next to me, I did not protest at check out. But make no mistake, this is a slimy, slimy business practice -- just cheating. And we will NOT be back at your spa unless you stop this practice. If it weren't for that counter-productive money-grab, I would have given you 5 stars. And if you had let me decide my own gratuity, I would have probably given you more like 20%. How is that business practice working out for you? - Dave Ferreira

I am not a soccer Mom but I am 99% sure I would need a margarita with my massage if I was one. I got the "Head to Toe Tequila Treatment" that begins with a sea salt & lime zest scrub followed by a 60 minute aromatherapy massage that "treats all your senses to the medicinal properties of the agave plant" and includes a complimentary margarita. I could not pass on the free margarita - it was very unnecessary but led to some fun talk with my very cute massage girl...

The "Transformative Healing Therapy" begins immediately upon walking through her doors. The first thing you'll first notice is her welcoming smile and demeanor. While waiting for your session to begin, floral aromas emanating from from her essential oil infusers will quickly surround you, coupled with the calming sounds of water trickling from her tiered water fountains next to the Buda statues which are surrounded by warm lighting and plants. I find the ambiance to be both calming and inviting, I suspect you will too. She differentiates herself from the franchised massage therapy businesses of the big city by truly employing a personalized and focused engagement of your body by quickly assessing what you're muscles and stressed out body actually need. If you've got knots in your neck, back, etc., she's going to employ a variety of techniques to get them out including hot stones, hot oils, deep tissue massage, crystals, etc., whatever it takes to restore your body and your energy. She doesn't watch the clock, no hard stops, none of the corporate and impersonal nonsense which abounds elsewhere. And did I mention the fact that her prices are but a fraction of the franchises in town? Save your money, saver your body and make an appointment with her today! P.S. Make sure to book at least a 2 hour massage and yes, even a 3, it's worth every minute of it!

The staff is extremely hospitable and if I lived in Texas, I would be a regular here!!

After a…read morefew disappointing journeys to other med spas in search of a Holy Grail photo facial I decided to give Evo a try. Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory. I found it! Booking could not have been simpler. The front desk was pleasant and worked around to my schedule to squeeze me in to get me in earlier! Susanne, the photo facial tech was expert! She did something no one has ever took the time to do for me before. Test the levels of the machine to see what my skin and tolerance level could handle. For instance, level 25 is an average setting a spa would use on a client but being the seasoned adventurer and procedure getter that I am, I was all the way in the high 30s! Imagine what poor results I would have received if she would not have taken the time to determine what works for my skin. The average setting would have yielded poor results on me for sure. I am over the moon with the results of my photofacial. By far and away the best photo facial i have received ever. Right after, I went in for my appointment with CeCe for Botox. She is fan-fan-fantastic! She took the time to discuss my goals (DISABLE ALL MOVEMENT!!) and talk to me about my questions of additional procedures I am wanting to stop the hands of time, rid myself of the wrinkles. My botox results are fabulous. I could not be happier! Gorgeous facility, incredible staff all around and the best results I have found locally. There is no more to ask for. Period.
