I highly recommend if you are not already treating yourself to the occasional massage to do so now…read moreand at Milk & Honey! Prior to your massage you are given some time to enter the locker room and leave your belongings in your locker and change into your robe. You have access to the showers, toiletries and hair styling tools. Once you step out of the locker room you enter a dim lit lounge where they have light snacks and the most delicious tea while you wait to be called for your appointment. I decided to go with a lengthy 120 minute Ultimate Massage with Katie since it had been quite a while since I've had one. This included a full-body brushing (you get to keep the brush afterwards), your choice of Signature, Deep Tissue or Sports massage and a warm oil scalp & neck massage. Prior to your visit you fill out a survey to decipher how you would like your massage to focus on. I prefer a firmer massage, but not too intense that it's not enjoyable. Katie was understanding of what I wanted and also receptive to how tense some of my muscles were and adjusted as the massage proceeded. I appreciated how she answered any questions I had during the massage and checked on me periodically to make sure everything was to my liking. The massage was fabulous. Just keep in mind that the oil scalp and neck massage while it feels amazing is going to leave your hair super oily. Be prepared to shower and rinse your hair several times. After my appointment I relaxed in the lounge for a bit and then utilized the showers to rinse out the oil in my hair. You are welcome to stay as long as you like. I can't wait to come back for another massage!

Going into this, we were genuinely excited. This was for a bachelorette party, and we had been…read morelooking forward to relaxing and celebrating together. Unfortunately, the experience with Milk + Honey was incredibly disappointing from the start. The booking service that coordinated our appointments made an error with our timing. By the time we arrived, the Milk + Honey staff said they couldn't accommodate us. While I understand scheduling constraints, what was frustrating was the complete lack of effort to help. There were no alternative solutions offered, no attempt to adjust services, and the response we received felt dismissive, essentially "well, you didn't make it on time," despite the situation being out of our control. As a result, 2 out of our group of 6 had to leave without services, and we were still charged a no-show fee, which is 50% of the service cost. To their credit, the booking company acknowledged their mistake and worked to make it right. They helped us rebook at 50% off and added complimentary services, which we appreciated. However, because of the no-show fee, we essentially still ended up paying full price overall. The issues didn't stop there. At checkout, we added a 20% gratuity, but it was calculated on the full service price plus the added treatments, not the discounted rate we were actually paying. This resulted in what effectively felt like closer to a 50% gratuity. Again, this is less about tipping itself and more about transparency and principle. To make matters worse, we were not given a receipt at checkout and had to call afterward to request an itemized breakdown just to understand what we were charged. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and, more importantly, like our best interests were not a priority at any point. For a place that positions itself as a luxury, customer-focused experience, this fell far short.

Relax here.

When I called to check and they told me it would be another week they offered to give me a loaner, I explained I had asked from that at the start and inquired why they didn't extend the offer then they said it was because they aren't good loaners so they just say they don't have them.... I feel like for a company who makes a living repairing people's computers they would be more understanding of the fact that someone cannot go for 2 weeks without a computer....

Unfortunately, my experience here with Fairy was very different. There was no proper assessment of my skin to determine the appropriate wavelength or energy settings; I was simply told a "medium" setting would be used for a first session for safety. The treatment itself felt rushed, and during the session I noticed that some areas were being missed. Although I shared my past results, I was told by Fairy that IPL can't remove dark spots or freckles, which contradicts both my experience and widely available information about the treatment. After the session, I didn't experience any of the typical post-treatment reactions, such as redness, and I saw no results in the weeks that followed. Overall, this felt like a combination of outdated equipment and limited experience with delivering effective IPL results. I wouldn't recommend this spa for IPL.

She went above and beyond to ensure my visit was seamless and comfortable. Chyna, my aesthetician, was equally amazing. She is not only highly skilled but also incredibly attentive and knowledgeable.

I was also always left incredibly bruised afterward, which honestly made me not want to have any more work done. After many hours of research and reading reviews, I finally decided to give SkinSpirit a try, and finding Crystal has been a godsend! Now that I'm nearing 40, I am SO glad I finally found someone I trust with my face! I've seen Crystal several times now and have only had two tiny bruises, which has been incredible compared to my past experiences. Her expertise is obvious, and she has truly made me feel years younger with her work. Most importantly, my results always look natural, which is an absolute MUST for me. I want to look refreshed and like myself, not like I've had work done, and Crystal completely understands that. I've seen her for both filler and Botox and have been so happy with my results. On top of this, I have found the prices to be VERY reasonable and way less than what I have paid in the past. On the rare occasion there was an area I felt needed a little improvement, Crystal never hesitated to help make it right. She's a perfectionist like me, so I always feel like I'm in good hands! She takes her time, pays attention to the details, and genuinely cares about making sure you're happy with your results. Beyond being incredibly talented, Crystal is gorgeous inside and out. She truly cares about her clients, not just about their treatments, but about what's going on in their lives, and I always enjoy seeing her! I seriously can't recommend Crystal enough. I'll definitely be sending my husband her way and spreading the word to anyone who needs a little refresh. I'm so grateful I found her!

There were some sheet masks but again, not a lot. It also seemed like they carried more skincare products than actual makeup/cosmetics. In all fairness, central TX did get hit with a winter storm last week and everything was covered in ice. So perhaps their shipments got delayed?

I gave this store a try again after 15 years and unfortunately still regret buying from this place…read more I purchased a buy one get one 50% off mousse in addition to a handful of other items. After about a week or so I went to use one of the two and when I removed the cap the plastic top was as broken off making it not useable. I figured I would use the other and exchange the broken one as soon as I was back in the area. I brought it back to the store to exchange and make an additional purchase. The young lady there asked me if I broke it with her many questions (did you drop it, did you drop my bag with the product inside it, how long ago did you buy it, are you sure it is broken...etc). This item clearly has a tag from this store and I showed her the broken part. I didn't ask for a return only an exchange for the same product in working condition even though I should have asked for a return but I was thinking an exchange would be fair even though in reality it's not fair to purchase a broken product and have to waste my time and money coming back to make it right. Finally she called someone else to see if they could exchange this and this lady said they could only exchange if it was clogged. I guess clogged overrides a broken item. It seems like common sense that a clogged bottle can be run under warm/hot water to be unclogged and the broken one can't be used at all. This makes me wonder how many times do people bring back clogged mousse purchases and if so, these products must be VERY old as I've never had a problem with mousse clogging. Hairspray, yes. Mousse, never. And I've had plenty of mousse products for years too long and they still never clogged. Any product that is purchased broken and not useable should be on the top of the exchange list if you expect to have repeat customers. This should be the best reason to exchange a product especially if you can clearly see it is broken and never used. I politely explained that this was not good for business and to let their manager or whoever is in charge know that this mistake on the stores part is costing them a lot more in the long run by losing repeat customers. The ladies then said, well it's been a really long time since you bought this and we only exchange the first 14 days. Clearly this went right over their heads. It seems they might be penalized in some form or fashion to not understand the simplest fix or really just don't care. Either way, don't waste your money here.
