    I went to this spa in an attempt to get a manicure. I have great nails naturally so it is generally a pleasant experience. The nail technician that helped me and my friend did a horrific job. She made almost all of my nails bleed. It was not busy there were no other guests there. So she was not in a hurry. When I made the reservation they did not advise me that the door was locked and you needed your hotel key to get in. Or that it is across the street from the omni. This spa is owned by Omni. I really expected more from the Omni. Please be warned that this spa not worthy of anyone's patronage.

    AC vent INSIDE shower stall!!!

    We ended up at the Mokara Spa as part of a hotel/spa/dining package. If you're just interested in the service, then this might be a good bet for you. But if you want a really luxurious spa to hang out in for a couple of hours, I'd look elsewhere. Though the spa itself was very clean, it was incredibly small. There were only four showers, a very small hot tub, of course a steam and sauna. There was a small relaxation lounge as well. The massage I got was great. He was very attentive and I left very relaxed. But I also like taking a really long hot shower when I go to spas, and was disappointed to find that every shower stall at the Mokara had an air conditioning vent INSIDE the stall. So while the water might have been hot, the air was cold, making it pretty uncomfortable. Also, the shower heads were not the greatest, and water pressure was low. So as I said above, thumbs up on the massage, but the facilities themselves were not what I like in a spa.

    On my way to treatment rooms. Nice calm colors around me

    My husband and I came here to the Mokara hotel since it's a 5 stars facility. He surprised me because I honestly didn't know where we were staying. When I first enter the spa the girl greeted me and gave me a locker, you also get a nice plush robe and slippers. There is a whirlpool , steam room and dry sauna. And also several showers. Everything looked really nice. There were certain aspect of the spa that I would say they neglected. Like the rim about the whirlpool was dirty. I could see dead bugs so it needs a little Cleaning. But I notice details Bc I go to high end spas all the time. I expect all details to be taken care of.....Especially when you pay $200-300 per treatment you expect the best experience. The spa attendant there wasn't the nicest person, she didn't seem like she wanted to be there. When I was in the relaxation room (very nice, stocked with little snacks and water) she didn't really wanted to answer my questions. And it was hard to find her when I needed her. Since you have to ask the attendant to make you tea. You can't make it yourself. The relaxation room is very calm, zen like. It has comfty chairs and lounges with blankets. I feel like I could probably fall in sleep in there after a nice massage! Treatments: I decided to go with 1) the Mokara signature massage that uses hot and cold stones. It was such a different experience! I totally recommend it for anyone who has back pain. I also got the 2) Mokara signature facial- and it was really relaxing as well. She seem very knowledgable about skin care. They use a German based skin care line that I never heard of before. It's called Bobara. The results were awesome. My face felt soft and refreshed. At the end I was in a rush to leave and wanted to make sure they gave me the correct pricing since it was "happy hour" pricing. But they messed up my bill anyway which caused some stress after a relaxing day at the spa. I also ordered lunch and it can only be eaten on their rooftop bar. I had to wear my rove up there to eat which to me was kinda weird. I ordered the ceviche and the Kale salad. Both delicious! But as always, it was quite expensive since mandatory delivery fee and service charge are always added at hotels. Overall, if I came to San Antonio again I would visit this spa. But only during the happy hour pricing. I'm giving this spa 4 stars Bc the manager heard about my issues and was very eager to resolve any problems I had with billing and also the issue with the attendant. That totally made a huge difference with me. I could tell they really try to provide the best service. They might just need to hire better spa attendant.

    My cousin and I went here for our hair and makeup. The makeup artist was good. The hair stylist was super warm and friendly and definitely accomplished our requested styles. My most favorite part was getting refills on the coconut agua frescas. Those were amazing! Overall the ambiance was pleasant and calming.

    Such an amazing hotel and spa! We had nothing but the best service from both the hotel and spa! I highly recommend this location to anyone who wants to have great service and feel spoiled. It was my birthday and everyone made my day so special - thank you!!! We will definitely come back to this hotel and spa.

    Honestly I have nothing but Amazing things to say about this place and how it is ran. First of all…read moreI had Kassandra and she was AMAZING. She is so sweet and professional and caring and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. I had gotten my hair done years ago from another salon and they bleached and butchered my hair so I was so nervous to come to another salon to get it done. But Kassandra took the time to listen and my hair is BEAUTIFUL! She is an expert on hair cuts as well, I went from long hair with no volume or definition to beautiful long layers with bangs that frame my face, I got a balayage done and now that I have lived here for 5 years I think I have found my new salon. Also a big shoutout to the owners as well, Roger was super professional and you can tell very proud of his studio he runs it well, he checks on every single client that comes in to make sure all the stylist are doing PERFECT work. I seriously cannot say how amazing this place was the two times I have come. Thank you Kassandra and Roger for making me feel beautiful:) you guys are doing amazing and I hope your company flourishes . If you are feeling iffy about this place, don't, because they are amazing .

    65 and grey haired totally. Went in trying to figure out what to do for more body, bangs or no…read morebangs and Kathy was a great listener. Told me why she thought she should do the cut she did and I was thrilled .... turns out it looks really great. Was my first time there and you have to know what your looking for otherwise you might just miss it. I scoped out a few days before my appt. They have four painted parking spaces; however, one has a third of the parking space taken up by a dumpster. The next two are fine and the last space is for handicap parking. You can park across the street in a secure parking lot but then you have to cross McCullough Avenue. It wasn't a problem for me as far as problems go, but McCullough Avenue is tricky when you're driving a car much less trying to cross the street ..... next time I'll wait across the street and pull into a parking space as soon as it opens up. For me, because I'm 65 years young, it's the best solution.

    I normally do not write reviews but I feel like I have to warn others about my experience here. I…read morewent to this salon on November 15, 2023 trying to save some money and booked with a level 1 stylist fresh out of cosmetology school. I deeply regret that decision. I asked for simple curtain bangs and the stylist completely butchered the right side of my hair. She told me she was fresh out of cosmetology school and it honestly showed. The cut was uneven, choppy, and way shorter than I asked for. It was so bad that I have been self conscious about my hair ever since. What makes it worse is that my hair has never been the same. I take very good care of my hair and it used to grow evenly and healthy. Three years later and that section still has not grown back properly. I have had to style around it constantly and it has been extremely frustrating. I trusted this salon and left feeling upset and embarrassed. If you care about your hair at all, I would strongly reconsider booking with a level 1 stylist here. Saving money is not worth dealing with damage that lasts for years.

    I had an extremely frustrating experience with this location. First of all, it was very difficult…read moreto find--it's tucked away inside a large building on the 5th floor with little to no helpful direction. What made matters worse is that they do not accept walk-ins, which would be fine if they were actually responsive. I called three separate times and not a single call was answered. No callback, no communication, nothing. Because I couldn't get through to anyone, I had no choice but to go there in person just to ask about appointment availability--only to be told they don't take walk-ins. The lack of basic customer service and communication is unacceptable. If you expect people to schedule ahead, the least you can do is answer your phone. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of time and patience to deal with the hassle.

Which totally defeated the purpose of paying to get my hair done. I think the only thing that I liked on my makeup was the eyeshadow, the lashes had lifted at one end of both eyes. My stylist was Lili, I don't think I would return or recommend, especially for the money spent and dissatisfaction of the results. Also, I understood that the salon was located downtown and how I would have to pay for parking because of it, however, I had even asked via text message if they recommended a place to park which they were helpful in sending a picture of one and with it showing their side door for me to enter on the weekend. However, when I got up to the salon, they had asked me for my license plate information to cover or waive the parking expense. Unfortunately, this information wasn't relayed to me in advance that they would be covering the parking expense and the parking lot states you have to pay when you park and when I told her I had already paid for it nobody told me anything even when I asked ahead where to park, Lili's response was "oh well next time." It would have been nice to save the $21.56 that I had spent for 2 hours of parking. Again, super appreciative that they even offer this it's just nice that if it is offered that the information is relayed so I could have appreciated/benefited from it as well.
