The WORST spa experience ever!

by Ananda Chaffee Ford

All I have to say is... you can get a better message at Message Envy or Message Harmony. Woodhouse Day Spa is also a chain, by the way. The customer service (who's the owner's sister) was shocking! I recommend Lake Austin Spa or anywhere else for that matter.

• Pros: smells great, and it should. It's a spa
• Cons: the customer service and proffesionalism

Best Facials in Texas

by mimicher

I travel over an hour to get to this spa. It has the most relaxing atmosphere, friendliest staff, and the best facials-I've had three out of four with Cheryl-she's my favorite. My family knows what I like for birthdays and special occasions and then I just sometimes treat myself. The massages are great, too.

• Pros: Ambience, Service

Woodhouse Spa -- my Austin Oasis!

by annielauriedodson

Their service is impeccable; their staff is not only skilled, but calming. Since my son gave me a gift card for my first visit, I make my next appointment before I leave each month, just as I do with my hair stylist! The facility is great -- inducing a relaxed, perfumed state from the moment I rush in from the heat. The smiling, thoughtful staff makes the stay a pleasant oasis from the daily grind so I leave refreshed, relaxed, and renewed. My compliments to Nita -- excellent, invigorating yet relaxing massage; to Leslie, whose pedicure was very thorough and left my unattractive size 9 feet looking soft and lovely; and to Cathy, whose manicure left my hands and nails in perfect shape. Seeing that same group every month would be perfect. These few hours spent relinquishing control while Woodhouse attends to the details has become a highlight of my month. Even waiting for the polish to dry is relaxing -- definitely a surprise for a type a person!

Spa Week

by carolyn007

The Woodhouse Day Spa offered fantastic options during Spa Week 2008. Monica gave me a soothing facial and offered excellent personal skincare advice. The facial included a massage of the head, neck, shoulders, and arms. I felt very pampered. I also treated myself to a manicure and pedicure. Amber gave me the best manicure and pedicure I've ever had.

I felt welcome and relaxed from the beginning to the end. Yes, I had some cinnamon tea--and bought a tin of it. This place really was my cup of tea.

• Pros: Ambience; clean
• Cons: Pricey unless they are offering a special

Not my cup of tea

by jashlock

The atmosphere of this spa is excellent. Peaceful, they greet you with nice tea. The people are also very nice. However, I was not thrilled with their special facial. I specifically stated that I am sensitive to frangrances and wrote that on my checkin stuff. I told the facialist about my sensitivities and she said they only used a little bit of the oils in their products, I usually only use frangrance free if I can. I had blotchy spots the next day and my chin is peeling. The problem is that they have specific rituals that they follow, do not deviate from them and they love aromatherapy. Great for them, not great for those of us with sensitivities to perfumes - even when they are "essential oils".

• Pros: Really nice people at the desk, beautiful place.

Great pedicure by Shanie

by mediums

I just had a pedicure with Shanie, and I recommend her wholeheartedly. She was considerate and professional, and gave me a divine foot and leg massage. I told her my feet were extra sensitive, and she took a lot of care not to be too rough with the pumice or instruments. The whole experience was relaxing and fun, and now my feet look and feel rejuvenated.

The facility was very clean and well kept, and every member of the staff was friendly and courteous. Parking was easy.

You feel so pampered!

by austinlover1

I love The Woodhouse. I try and go there for a pedicure or massage at least once a month. From the moment you arrive you will feel pampered. All of the technicians are very pleasant and do what they can to make your experience a good one. They have two very nice waiting areas, which make you not mind having to wait at all, where you can sip on tea or water while you wait. The entire place smells very calming of lavender, I believe it is. Very much a good place! I would recommend to anyone!

• Pros: Very nice atmoshere, good treatments
• Cons: A little pricey

Relaxing and Decadent

by cameocr

I set up a bridal shower here for my sister for a group of three to experience peppermint pedicures. We felt pampered from the moment we walked through the front door. We arrived early for our appointment and were invited into a plush waiting area and offered our choice of water or a list of complimentary teas. The nail techs were ready to care for us very punctually and invited us individually to follow them. Upon being seated on the foot baths we were presented with warm neck wraps and their serene oil, which was immediately relaxing. Our foot soaks were followed by delicate foot pampering and delightful foot and leg massages that almost put me to sleep. Shanni was my nail tech and was professional and courteous. She ended the massage a velvety lotion for the feet and legs. The three of us were able to sit in the same room during our pedicures and enjoy the bridal shower experience I was hoping for. Even when our pedicures were done they invited us to return to the waiting area and relax and be together. I will be a repeat customer.

• Pros: Welcoming atmosphere, Pampering Staff
• Cons: Addictive
