The Woodhouse Day Spa

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.

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.

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

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

I had an absolutely fabulous massage--on a day that I really needed it! What more could I ask for--the second I walked in the door, I felt pampered! The deep tissue massage is perfect for really working those stressed areas!

I am a spa LOVER! My husband and I travel to spas for vacation. I was very surprised to find such a high quality spa here near the middle of Capital of TX Highway. The robes, the quiet, the atmosphere and the services are all the highest of quality -- I had a deep tissue massage and a facial recently that were as good as any at an exclusive travel destination resort spa like Enchanment Resort in Sedona.

I love visiting Woodhouse Day Spa. As soon as I walk through the doors, I am greeted by a wonderful floral smell and the sound of trickling water. I immediately relax and look forward to my experience. Someone is always there to ask how I am doing and guide me through the services I have requested. The look and feel of the spa is elegant but welcoming. You feel comfortable going in for a quick massage or spending several hours there with a group of friends. The staff is polite and professional and all of my services have been exceptional. I highly recommed Woodhouse Day Spa.

Pros: Ambience, Service, Price, Parking

I first went to Woodhouse when I won a silent auction prize, and have been going back ever since. The facials took years off my age. I loved the mood, the steam and the aromas of all their products put me where I needed to be. Great head and shoulder massages as well. I also have friends tell me that their massage therapist is over the top in her deep tissue technique, as well. I love their products and use them at home in between appointments.

Pros: Ambience, Service, Products

Cons: an expensive habit after a while
