You know you need a facial when 1) You cannot remember the last year or time you had one. 2) Your…read moreskin is starting to detach from your face. 3) You believe your face is fully clogged like a kitchen sink. 3) Your black heads have created an army and they were winning. Thus, I decided to cash in my last Mother's Day gift, i.e. facial gift card. A friend recommended Spavia for a facial and feel like I hit the jack pot. Spavia is aesthetically pleasing and very Zen. I felt like I walked directly into a serene, calm and cozy place. The hostess checked me and showed me around the spa. Brick accents, fireplace (yep...not wood burning) and black curtains created a slow persona in an inviting space. The lounge was alluring with tranquil music, oversized seating, and blankets, should you need covering. There's a women's and men's retreat for you to relax or unwind while you wait for your appointment to start. My treatment was rejuvenating...relaxing, calming, and almost hypnotizing. Haven, my esthetician, worked miracles on my face. I was more than pleased. After my facial, my skin felt moisturized, refreshed, and totally chill. In addition, they give you a robe and slippers, for use in the salon. The price was comparable to other facials I researched in Austin. Also, there is a free garage parking.

She also put the back of my rt hand to my left shoulder blade... i thought she would support the front of the shoulder and kneed under my scapula, but instead, without support the front of my shoulder which was rounding towards the table with my hand pulled so far up my back, she just pulled my rt elbow back pretty hard. I yelled, and she said, 'you don't like stretching. She actually could've ripped my rotator cuff, which is still feeling tender. At some point, she put a very hot eye pillow on my eyes. At the end, she pulled off my eye pillow to the lights fully up, and thru my robe (which was pretty heavy) on top of me from the door. Just weird. Leaving a bit more tense.

For the pros, I did the Emerald Bliss ritual and my only complaint is wish there was an option to make it longer. It's hours later and I still feel very relaxed. I also liked that when checking in you can indicate if you want to talk or not during the session and I appreciated that there was a variety of spa options (wet sauna, dry sauna, whirlpool, etc). The less than ideal part of the experience is that it's a bit small. The cold plunge is a single person tub. The area around the whirlpool could use more lounge chairs, and the relaxation room is too close to the lockers. Also seemed like with the crowd it was difficult for the staff to keep up with cleaning up cups. I would come back for sure but would maybe opt for a weekday when it's presumably less busy.

When I arrived, staff seemed confused by my appointment and the vibe immediately felt awkward. I requested a male masseuse which was accommodated at first. During the massage, the owner interrupted the session to have me redo paperwork while I was face down and topless on the table because I forgot to write the date instead of asking me afterwards. Later, the door was opened multiple times while I was actively being massaged face down so staff could casually talk to the therapist for almost an entire minute. At one point they apparently switched massage therapists entirely without informing me or asking for consent -- suddenly a woman, instead of the man I began with, was talking to me and I had no idea someone else was touching me. One therapist was coughing throughout the session, and another handled my body very aggressively, moving my legs without warning and forcing my hypermobile knees into uncomfortable positions. My neck hurts today afterward. The worst moment was when I was flipping over and the door opened AGAIN while I was completely exposed on top. No explanations or apologies. Overall the entire experience felt chaotic, invasive, unprofessional, and deeply uncomfortable. Honestly I feel violated. I've never had a massage where multiple people worked on me without explanation, the room was repeatedly interrupted, and my privacy felt so disregarded.
