I am soooo thankful I discoved Spa Esoteric in historic downtown McKinney! Aasha is such an AMAZING massage therapist! The himalayan salt massage and therapeutic massages are wonderful! I highly recommend 90 minutes! Check out the long list of massage options and other services! You will love the charm of this beautiful day spa! It's no wonder that they have been voted best day spa 8 times! read more

Wow! I experienced the Herb Massage, Reiki, and Reflexology and feel as though I've gone through a total body reset. The entire experience was filled with relaxation, laughter, and a calm that I'd been missing for awhile. A wonderful experience! read more

I liked the haircut and appreciate that she works with cancer patients. But I didn't appreciate the (QAnon/right wing insane) conspiracy theories she was telling me about while I was getting my hair done. I will find another shop. read more

Wonderful staff and wonderful, consistently good massages. Very good experience, would definitely return.

This place is amazing! I got a gift certificate for my birthday...It was easy to get scheduled. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The house/building has so much character and is adorable inside and out. It is clean and smells wonderful. The services are fair in price. I got the 90min hot Thai massage. I felt detoxed, relaxed and rejuvenated. I went in w a little bit of the sniffles and Vickie, my masseuse lifted the table a bit at an angle and my sinuses cleared up immediately. I will most definitely return and send my family and friends back. read more

Love this place!! Monika & Helen are so nice & always make you feel comfortable & right at home. The spa itself is super cute, cozy, & relaxing! I love what they've done to the place (inside & out) & all the attention to detail. Not to mention it's always clean & smells lovely. read more

BEWARE IF YOU HAVE LONG HAIR! DON'T GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR LONG HAIR! I had been going to Monika for a year since moving to Texas. Trusted her with my hair for over a year now. Am getting ready for a wedding and waited til the perfect time for cut and color. We talked about maybe going below my shoulders. (My hair WAS almost at my waist.) She cut 3" off and I stated "Whew, glad we did that because I am not ready to go shorter". While sitting in the chair, I noticed not one piece of hair was falling forward. I was having a conversation with myself that I had never had hair not fall forward. NOW I KNOW WHY! When I was turned around, she had cut SEVEN INCHES of my hair off! WHAT? When she held the mirror up in the chair, it was at an angle so I was looking up. All the way home I tried to convince myself that it was only the three inches...Not only that, it is the same length all the way around my head! A LAMPSHADE CUT! It looks like crap. So, after many tears and calming down, I emailed Monkia....here is her response: .I am sooooo sorry. when I cut the back before colour I had pulled it back. N evened up the front or it would have been a sling. It is my fault not making that clear You mean it took you 4 more inches to "EVEN" up my hair? You THINK you should have discussed that with me? YA THINK? She offered the NEXT time that it would be on her! NEXT TIME? I will not need a hair cut for 4 YEARS! SO BEWARE....IF YOU HAVE LONG HAIR, LIKE TO KEEP YOUR LONG HAIR...DON'T GO HERE! SHE "THINKS" SHE SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING! read more

I'd give them 5 stars but I'm more used to spas who have several people work on you so that the spa package doesn't take up the ENTIRE day. There are too many antique stores and botiques near by to want to spend the whole day there:) even though Monika is very good company. And get someone to drop you off because the parking there can be a bit hard to find. Most of it is on the street. That, however, is my only complaint. DHB booked me for the Everything Roses package which was just lovely. I highly recommend it. We have been renovating our house and I was literally taking a beating. My nails and hands were ruined from ripping up carpet and tearing out stick on vinyl tile. My feet hadn't seen the light of day in weeks because of all the calluses from the work boots. Skin problems from sun exposure and from having to mop the ceiling. (Do not ask me how the previous occupants of my house got soda, ketchup, and mustard spatters on the ceiling!) And don't even get me started on the sore muscles from shoveling and swinging a sledge hammer. Wrap, facial, massage, mani-pedi. Very relaxing and well done. I came out like a new woman. The mani-pedi with the paffafin treatment did absolute wonders for my hands and feet. The body wrap and the massage were wonderful at getting some of the longer lasting knots out, too. Hoping he books me for it again.... read more

LOVE IT! great massages and facials. Very relaxing and customer-oriented.

There IS a 'right way' to apply color- I never knew! I have probably had nearly a dozen different stylists in my 30-some years of "getting my hair done". In that time I've gone lighter, darker, had highlights- you name it. Now I just color gray & stay pretty close to my natural color. But in all those years, it always seemed I would find some grays that were missed, uneven color, etc. Monica didn't just paint the color onto my hair, she worked it in- a 'massage' for the hair, it seemed to be. I just watched her with interest, not asking about her technique. She had mentioned her decades in the business, but I've had stylists with plenty of experience before. Something about her technique just seemed so right- and I'd never seen it before. Sure enough, the end result was fantastic. I've never been happier with my color (well, I went a tad too dark, but that was my fault, not hers). There is not a single missed spot & the color is so rich & shiny- I finally know what truly expertly applied color looks like. I had looked at their prices online before making my appointment, and was charged exactly as advertised- a very reasonable rate. I've not tried any of the spa services, but I certainly will. 5 stars for the cut & color alone- I have definitely found a new place fully deserving of my loyalty (and, obviously, my praise :) read more

Got a couples massage here for my wife and I. We got the 6 minute massage with the heated tiger shells

I have been going to Spa Esoteric for the past 2 years and love it. Monika is my hair stylist and she does an excellent job whether I am in just for a cut or highlight/color. I am always welcomed and offered their latest treat or cup of tea and they feature a lot of local made products that can be purchased such as candles, jewelry or clutches. I have also had a massage and pedicure there and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Such a homey feel since it is located in a historic house. And if you ever need to know what is happening in downtown McKinney, just ask Monika, she is always up on the latest event or newest business that has opened. read more

I was refered to this spa from a friend. I wanted to do a hair removal on my entire face. I called today (June 13th) to schedule an appointment for July 5th. They were unable to book me for laser hair remover until July 19th. Ok, fine. No problem. My problem is, they wanted FULL PAYMENT upfront of $299 to book the appointment. Who do these people think they are? They wanted $299 to book an appointment that was over 4 weeks later? I could understand if I were to utilize the service within 7 days to ask for payment up front but 4 week? American Greed. I will take my business elsewhere. Oh. I have have a big mouth too. :) read more

Perfect, eclectic and soul soothing day spa in a redone 120 year old house. I felt instantly welcomed and comfortable when I walked in the door. Great massage..therapist had a good strong pressure and solid technique. Free stuff (sugar scrub and soy candle ) for first time guests so its worth a try. I called on a Saturday for a much needed massage and was scheduled in in 4 hours later. Staff and owner are friendly and knowledgeable, and I'm looking to go back and try some of their facial and pedicure packages. They have a Spa Week package (2nd week of Oct?) where three of their most popular treatments are only $50. I'd say if you haven't been yet, its worth a stop by! read more

Ahhhmazing! I've been here 3 or four times really too few than if like and have gifted a certificate to my mother in-law who also loved it and today went with my hubby for his first massage. He's very self conscious about his body hair but the experts at Spa Esoteric put him at ease. They always have specials going on. I just love them!! read more

I received the chocolate cherry facial from my son as a birthday gift. It was perfection. you can read the whole review here http://www.angieworld.com/2014/03/my-review-of-spa-esoteric/ totally going back! read more

I'm so happy I found Spa E! I've been there several times in the past couple of years for regular massages, then I got pregnant. My husband got me a gift certificate for a pre-natal massage and it was AWESOME. Monica is always friendly and great to talk with. My favorite spa! read more

This place is a gem!!! It's literally a one stop shop for all your Spa needs. My boys and I have been going there for years to get our Haircuts too. I think my favorite is the facial, it's a must!!! All the staff is extremely friendly and I personally use Monika but, you can't go wrong with any of the ladies there. If you haven't tried Spa Esoteric, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.. Again, I have personally used them for Facials, tattoo removal, massages, Haircuts, waxing, and products. Ask Monika about the monthly plan she can put you on for services, it will change your life, it has for me. read more

I went Saturday to buy a gift certificate. They were too busy to help me. I tried to buy one on on-line with Paypal and with my debit card. Neither would go through. I called today and got an answering machine. WHAT'S GOING ON????? read more
