Heights Massage & Day Spa

From the moment you drive up to the cottage style haven, relaxation exudes. Greated with soft spoken professionalism offering hot tea while sitting back in oversized inviting wicker chairs....pleasinging decorated.....THEN...the therapist invites you to your own room in this haven where the magic continues. Oh, the hands work as kneading instruments...repairing, relaxing the tired muscles throughout your body. I have had many massage therapy experience but the ones experienced at Heights Massage & Day Spa trump all of those by far.

I will continue to drive from Louisiana to Houston in order to experience this little piece of heaven on earth.

Pros: entire experience relaxing

Cons: NONE.....well, only that I don't get to go there more often

This is quite personal, though I am a massage therapist andhave worked at Heights Massage in the past I just wanted to say that it was the most wonderful experience I have ever had with my employer and it's employees. I have been a therapist for over 3 years now and must say that I have had bad experiences with spa's in the past because of health code issues or they didn't pay enough, or they were just not friendly to the clients.... ect. ect. this list could go on and on for days but the important thing is that I had recieved services while I was there and was satisfied each time. It is hard to please a therapist or facialist or well, just anyone who does the same thing for a living as what they are getting lol, we are all critics. But honestly, I was very happy there. It was very hygenic, very cozy, friendly atmosphere, and loved the brand of services they provided to the clients. It is the BEST MASSAGE AND DAY SPA IN THE HOUSTON AREA!! I highly recommend it!

Pros: Best massage, best facials, best waxing, best eyelash ext.

Cons: Didn't find one!

Posted 11/21/09

I booked a couple massage for my bf's birthday. The staff there are really nice and professional. The environment is very relaxed and we had a great massage. We will go there again next month....

Posted 11/16/09

Had a very nice initial visit today. Lana and the staff at Heights Massage and Day Spa welcomed me and forgave my late arrival.. (I did call and let them know I was running late) I still received my full massage. I like the detail they go to to find what your specific needs are, and just what it is you're expecting during your visit. Lana did a fantastic job, had strong hands for my very tight upper back. Atmostphere is very relaxing and comfortable. I booked my next appt. before I left.

Pros: professional staff, relaxing atmosphere

Cons: couldn't find one

Posted 11/14/09

Had a great sports massage today w/ Kim. Very experienced, knowledgeable, professional. Tailored massage perfectly - pressure, rhythm, flow, & to the music. Laura, the Director of Operations, showed me around the Spa. Told me the wait used to be 3 weeks+, but now they're expanding into 3 additional houses/buildings where they do the massages. The atmosphere, design is wonderful. Currently have a lot of massage therapists looking to work there.

Am a runner who gets massages regularly, but this place is for everyone - couples, women, male, athletic, etc.

Definitely coming here again.

Pros: massage, staff, atmosphere, design

Cons: Price - but worth every penny

Posted 11/12/09

I saw Lana the other day for my first spray tan! It was the best experience, i was nervous and didnt know what to expect. Lana explained EVERYTHING! She made me feel very comfortable and explained after care up-keep. Lana thanks again, you will be seeing me again :)

Pros: calming

Posted 11/09/09

Had a really rough week, stress galore! My friend came in from Louisiana and I wanted to give us both a relaxing weekend to revitalize.
I googled massage in my area code and I found the Heights Massage and Day Spa, and I'm so thankful I did.
We got a 1 hour massage, they put us in the same room - soothing music, dim lighting, great ambiance.
Then the massage was AMAZING!!!!!
Both my friend and I can't stop raving about our experience.
Our massage therapists were Mary and Vilma - would recommend them with 10 stars to anyone!!!!
Go check them out and see for yourself how an hour or more in their care can wipe away weeks of stress!
:c)

Pros: Calm environment, kind employees, relaxing all around

Cons: none!

Posted 10/26/09

Had a great massage, best one I've had. She worked great with me on my needs and stretched me as well as doing a massage. Good product for the price.

Pros: Took Personal Time, Worked specifically with needs

Posted 10/13/09

Kim is an outstanding massage therapist! I would highly recommend her to anyone. Just don't make her so busy that I can't get an appointment with her.

Pros: Best Massage in Town!

Cons: Can't go as much as I would like.

Posted 09/27/09

I'm new to the Houston area and was nervous about trying to find a new place for facials. I had a facial just before my sister's wedding and was blown away! They were fantastic! I couldn't have been more pleased and I will definitely be going back.

Pros: Friendly staff and excellent services!

Posted 08/31/09

They took the time to talk to me about what I wanted and made my lashes look beautiful, while looking so natural. People comment on my lashes now, rather than my extensions when I used another company.

Pros: kind lovely atmosphere beautiful lashes

Posted 08/12/09

On 8/7/09 at 5:15p I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Heidi and it was by far the best massage I've had. I've been getting massages for years at various spas around Houston and Austin and this one topped the list. Heidi listened to my needs and completely catered the massage to me. The massage was SO great that at the end I asked that it be extended for another 30 minutes. I highly recommend Heidi to anyone out there looking for a great massage.

Pros: Best Deep Tissue Massage Ever

Cons: None

Posted 08/09/09

We visited Heights Massage on August 2 for a couples massage. Our experience was wonderful. Very relaxing atmosphere and high quality massage therapists. Being former massage therapists ourselves, we are kinda picky! We were impressed with the quality and plan to return in the future. Thank you so much. Derek and Susan.

Pros: Best Therapists in Town

Cons: None

Posted 08/03/09

This is truly the best massage place in Houston. I have had back problems for about 6 years now and have had more massages than I can count. I have moved to Houston a year ago and have been exploring different massage spas in order to get the most for my money. This is by far my favorite and only one I go to. I have had 5 different employees give deep tissue/ massages and have enjoyed everyone. I have my favorites though! I would recommend Brenda and Rick. I also like the broad menu items from their service list and plan to try them out. I am 200$ confident that whatever I pay for there I will walk away happy about spending the money and very relaxed. They are great! Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Pros: Best deep tissue with multiple Masseuses

Cons: No parking

Posted 07/29/09

Heights Massage & Day Spa is the gateway to relaxation. This is the only place I consider for having muscle aches relieved. I requested firm pressure and was not disappointed. Days after my last visit, I still feel relaxed and energized.
Heights Massage & Day Spa also has a refreshing swimming pool available for use after a massage.
I highly recommend to anyone that enjoys a good massage, visit Heights Massage & Day Spa.

M Vaughn

Pros: expert massage therapists, location, services

Posted 07/13/09

If you want a real massage and not just frilly push and pull motions, this is the place to go. The staff are real professionals so you will get your money's worth. They actually cater to your specifics.. really! We have tried many massage spas and we will continue to come back to this one. Awesome for golf ouchies! We just wish it was closer. Thanks Heights Massage! --Thi and Huy-Hoang

Pros: actual massage is THE best!

Cons: difficult parking

Posted 07/02/09

Laura Lee is very professional, patient, kind, and artistic.
The eyelash extensions are fun to wear and are very
realistic looking. It cuts my makeup time in half! I recommend asking for Laura Lee as her work is exceptional.

Pros: Best eyelash extensions by Laura Lee

Cons: none

Posted 05/18/09

My husband and I come here to "Get Away". We always get the couples massage and enjoy every minute of it. Kim, Irene, Elizabeth, and Susana have all been absolutely amazing each time we have gone! This is a great place to spend the entire day or just an hour, if that's all you have. I can't wait until we get to go again! Remember, mother's day is right around the corner! This would be a great place to send her!

Pros: Everyone is amazing!

Cons: You'll never want to leave!

Posted 04/29/09

I think this is just a jewel in the ruff...This is a great quaint spa, with TONS to offer. It is my weekly getaway from corporate america, and I would recommend it to EVERYONE!

Pros: Excellent location and a great staff!

Cons: none

Posted 04/08/09

I have gone to heights spa twice and will keep going for more. They are awesome! I went to get a massage and a facial and it was fascinating especially the massage. I also had a bikini wax for my second time ever and it was the best i had ever had. I had previously gone somewhere else and it was painful especially since they had used a pink wax but tita (girl who did it) used the right wax (a pine blue one) and it does not stick to ur skin or hurts as much. Make sure u used the pain free cream they sell before you go, it helps a lot!!! I am a big cry baby and with tita it was awesome almost pain free and it was fast too! The second time i went i tried the waxing with crystal and she was good. Still better than any other place trust me. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the employees are very nice. It is what a true spa should feel and be like.

Pros: best atmosphere and employees

Cons: scheduling if you have a busy schedule

Posted 04/06/09

I would like to publicly thank Lucy ?. I was one of those eyelash extensions Horror stories? I had extensions done by someone that didn?t know what they were doing. A real mess? My eyelashes were clumped, matted and stuck together beyond belief..
Lucy to the rescue.. She really did an exceptional job of straightening out the mess?
I can?t thank her enough? If you want eyelash extensions that look like their your own, only better.. This is the salon to go to! I know I will be a customer from now on!

Pros: Great Service!

Cons: None

Posted 03/30/09

This spa is the first one I have ever been to and it was my experience was phenominal! I had a facial that was like a little slice of heaven and a massage that made me want to scream and turn cartwheels. This place rocks!

Pros: comfortable and private setting/friendly staff

Cons: they're not open 24-7!

Posted 03/26/09

I recently went to Heights Massage for a couples massage and loved the experience. The spa is a converted house in the heart of the Houston heights and has an amazing cozy feeling. We especially enjoyed the private attentive service. The massage itself was amazing. I highly recommend Kim and Elizabeth. If you're looking for exclusive great service- I highly recommend Heights Massage.

Pros: Private cozy environment

Cons: none!

Posted 03/02/09

In mid-February my boyfriend and I were traveling out of town and I wanted to do a couples massage with him. This was the first massage that he had ever had and this was approximately my 15th. I was very worried about how the whole spa would react to my boyfriend as he is completely crazy and a jokester. Also, I was worried about how he would enjoy the massage because this was his first and he typically doesn't like when people touch him. Imagine my surprise when everything went PERFECTLY! This spa is not for people who "must" be with the latest and greatest resources and location (in a converted house) but it truly is for people who enjoy a fabulous massage. We got one of the couple's massage packages and started off in the hot tub which I found very relaxing. I had fabulous chocolate strawberries (which they packaged for me since I didn't finish, a nice surprise). Then we went for a deep tissue massage where we were able to be ourselves. both of us walked out happy and still say "i wish we were back there now." I don't think there is anywhere in Chicago that can live up to our experience in Houston. Thank you to the staff!!! PS. You know you're in trouble when you're handed a sheet to point on the body where you have pain and your boyfriend returns it with devil's horns...

Pros: Able to go with the vibe of the customer!!

Cons: Make sure you ask the staff for SPECIFIC driving instructions (in an actual neighborhood)

Posted 03/01/09

I recently had eyelash extensions by Laura Lee at the Heights Massage and Day Spa. It was an awesome experience and I had to recommend it to others. I have never been on city search to recommend a place of business; however, my experience was so incredible that I felt I had to tell others so they could share my happiness. The salon is absolutely incredible. The staff is professional, caring, realistic and amazing at their crafts. I had first come to the salon to use a gift card for a massage from my boyfriend. It was the best massage I've had in my life. I've booked them for massages ever since (which has now been about a year and a half). Everyone that works there makes you feel completely at ease and the atmosphere of the spa is perfect for relaxation.
I had started reading about their eyelash extensions over a year ago and I must admit that I was a bit skeptical, at first. I have never had anything like that done in my life. I am in my late twenties and I live a very active lifestyle. I work as an environmental educator and I need a style regime that doesn't take a lot of fuss. My eyelashes are very blonde and although I do not like to wear a lot of make-up, I find myself wearing mascara so that it will bring out my eyes. I read dozens of amazing reviews from seemingly realistic people and I decided to finally take the plunge. My only complaint is that I did not visit Laura sooner! Laura put on a set of eyelash extensions that are absolutely incredible. My friends couldn't figure out what the transformation was. The process was completely painless and relaxing. Laura is so cool and layed-back-- a true artist. She couldn't have done a more perfect job. I am more than satisfied with having my eyelash extensions and I am so happy that I took a chance and had it done. I love having incredible looking eyes without having to curl my lashes and put on mascara. It is the most amazing transformation and I am in love with my new, beautiful, natural looking lashes!

Pros: Knowledgeable, caring, professional and extremely talented staff

Cons: That I did not find them sooner!

Posted 02/27/09

I just got THE BEST SET OF EYELASHES for my eyes ever thanks to Laura! If you love your lashes and want them to look good around the clock and better than all of your friends, go see Laura. She is an ARTIST. If you are tired of searching for mascara and eyelash curlers (all not giving the best results) then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EYELASH EXTENSIONS! Check out the website and I suggest having an idea of what you want before going to see Laura that way you can explain in the best possible way what you want so the both of you can be on the same page. That is what I did and Laura completely captured my vision. They are exactly what I wanted plus more! Keep in mind, Laura is SUPER AWESOME but she can't work miracles (I mean really she can bc once you see the before and after of your own eyes you won't believe it!!) but yeah, be realistic of what you want, she works with what you have. Luckily, my lashes were long enough to hold long extensions but even if your lashes are short TRUST ME, it is going to look way way wayyyy better than your natural lashes with mascara. The procedure is so simple also, all you have to do is lay down with your eyes closed! If I weren't laughing the whole time and cracking jokes with Laura I probably would have fallen asleep! Laura is hilarious and a joy to be around, she is awesome at what she does there is never a second where you are going to feel uncomfortable! Right after I left I went shopping at the Galleria and instantly got compliments from store clerks! Its amazing how great lashes can get you noticed! My mom is super jealous or my eyelashes now and is considering calling Laura soon...that is if I let her, finally my eyelashes look better than hers!! So, if you've been thinking about eyelash extensions, GO SEE LAURA LEE! And if you haven't been thinking about eyelash extensions, you need to!

Pros: best eyelash extensions in houston

Cons: none!

Posted 01/29/09

My husband and I went here for a couples massage this past Saturday with Susana and Elizabeth and had a wonderful experience!
We've had experiences in the past where one or the other of us will have a great experience. But this is the first time we both left feeling great!

The massage was wonderful, the hot towels, and hot tub with chocolate covered strawberries and champagne (brought our own, but they chilled it) made it all a really special day!

Posted 01/26/09

This is the best massage I have ever had. The pressure was perfect (I like very firm pressure), and the facility is cozy and comfortable (it's an old house).

Posted 01/18/09

Getting a bikini wax is a personal thing that always makes me nervous but I was instantly made to feel at home. The staff is friendly and offered me refreshments on arrival. The service was on time and the wax itself was great. It was less painful and she was hilarious. I was laughing so hard through the whole thing I forgot that I was supposed to feel awkward. The location is easy to find and I'll definitely be recommending Heights Massage and Day Spa to all my friends!

Posted 01/10/09

I have been wanting to get a massage FOREVER... for my birthday my boyfriend too me to Heights... we got a coples massage... My boyfriend has never had a massage before either... Rick rendered his service he was so relaxed i could hear him snoring. He spoke so higly of Rick and said that he felt relieved in places that have been feeling tight to him forever... Elizabeth was awesome to me. She had me feeling like a totally new person. I sit at a computer all day and work with children so i was very tense in my upper shoulders. She worked those spots out diligently for me. I didn't fall asleep but she put her all into my massage. We pais 160 which was worth every penny of the section. Most places over charge you, but here you get good service all around. When we arrived everyone was so welcoming and polite. It is really a warm feeling. We felt right at home. It wasn't difficult getting comfortable. I'm getting ready to plan a Girl's Night Out and Houston Heights is at the top of the Iternary... If you've never had a massage i recommend you go and ask for Elizabeth!!!!!!!!!!!! I was very satisfied.. and plan on goin at least once a month now!

Pros: excellent service, wonderful massage

Cons: none at all

Posted 11/16/08

WOW - run and don't walk to this gem of a day spa. BEST facial ever - the best. I will be going back to try everything else offered. An amazing, wonderful experience!

Pros: Best facial ever!

Posted 11/11/08

I guess you can say that I'm addicted to my lash extensions. Every time I have a refill, Laura Lee amazes me. She is extremely professional and ensures your comfortable and relaxed. She also has a great sense of humor, or much like mine so in addition this makes me look forward to my visit. I love my Lashes!!

As the holiday season is at it's peak, I had to book a lash appointment along with a facial. We have all worked to hard to make our homes cozy and festive. With all the parties, shopping, cooking and baking...you deserve it! Don't hesitate to book an appt! I guarantee you will walk out feeling like a million $$$.

Pros: Skilled technicians

Cons: Cant think of any

Posted 10/31/08

I had a great time at the spa last weekend....wonderful facial which included a relaxing massage. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Posted 09/30/08

My wife and I went to the Heights Massage & Day Spa as a part of our wedding anniversay celebration. Suzanna and Lizette gave us couples massages and really helped to make our special day perfect. They were very professional, plesant and catered to our every desire. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We're looking forward to going back again and again.

Posted 09/29/08

I really needed a facial and a massage after all the muckiness and stress that was brought upon by the hurricane. After reading the reviews here I've decided to book a "Heights Massage and Day Spa's Ultimate Facial" treatment at this spa. The location was a bit non-descript but upon entry it was a quiet and zen environement. Mary Louise was my aesthetician (also licensed massage therapist) and it was evident that she is highly experienced. The massage was phenomenal as she worked diligently on the stubborn knots on my shoulders. I was also introduced to the Rhonda Allison line that they used and received a -customized kit. I have this random T - zone that is brought on every summer by the Houston humid weather and I definitely notice a more even and calm appearance after my treatment. I will definitely tell my friends and return again.

Pros: Excellent massage

Cons: Minor gripe: the place needs a bigger sign

Posted 09/22/08

I have visited many spas for facials and many many times i was not very impressed until now. I had a facial done by Mary and i have to say she really works it. I suffer from blackheads and acne so i need a good facial. Mary is very good at removing those blackheads. I truly recommend Heights Spa!

Pros: relaxing, friendly staff, affordable!

Cons: none

Posted 09/04/08

I had a couples massage and it was great. This was our second time around and we will definitely go back. Mary Louise and Lisette Sampson were our therapists. They did a wonderful job.

Posted 08/28/08

This place rocks! First time visit. I entered into a cozy, relaxing atmosphere and was made welcome immediatley. Everyone is super nice and easy going. The backyard oasis makes you feel as if you are over to a friend's house for a party or something. The entire spa is a conversion from an old bungalow, which I love! If you are looking to an alternative from the sterile type spas, this is it! My facial / microdrm was absolute heaven. Tita took her time with every step but in a quiet was so as not to disturb my relaxation. The products they use smell and feel great. My skin was glowing when I left. Very highly recommended!

Pros: ambience

Posted 08/15/08

This day spa is a TRUE GEM! I have been a client for a couple of years now. I started out getting lavish lashes put on (for those of you who don't know lavish lashes are professional eyelash extensions). Laura was amazing I received so many compliments on my lashes, being of Asian decent I never had long lashes before this! Now I also go for the facials. I started getting the slight reddening of the cheeks (rosacea) when I turned 30. The facialists at Height Massage and Day Spa are AMAZING the reddening is almost all GONE (I wish I could post pictures). A couple more facials and I know it will be a thing of the past. They are so good my husband even said that he saw a difference in my face (and that was without any prompting from me)!!! You really have to go and experience this place, it is beautiful and peaceful, but best of all they do their job well!!!!
-Ruth

Pros: Relaxing! The BEST facials!!! Excellent Service! They put you at ease and the stress melts away...

Cons: I live an hour away so it is a long drive for me, but it is not their fault I moved so far!

Posted 08/07/08

Heights massage and day spa is in a great location and the customer service is fantastic. I had eyelash extensions put on for my wedding this summer and now I can't l live with out them! :)

Posted 08/05/08

Wonderful spa located off the beaten path in the Heights. Very relaxing and many treatments to choose from!

Pros: atmosphere

Cons: parking

Posted 08/01/08

My fiance signed me up for a facial the week of our wedding. I am so glad she did! It was relaxing and made my skin look so clear and fresh. The spa was very relaxing and attractive. All of the technicians were nice and professional. Crystal did my facial and she was awesome. It was not painful like I had heard it could be. She was so good and the spa was so nice, I just might make it a monthly habit to go back for a facial.

Pros: relaxing, professional atmosphere

Posted 07/30/08

I had a facial with Teta and it was pure heaven. It was so relaxing that I had to fight to stay awake. I didn't want to doze off because it was so enjoyable. Also, she was not painful at all as opposed to many facialists. She waxed my brows perfectly and it was the least painful waxing experience of my life. She shared her expertise with me but put no pressure on me to buy products. I have already recommended this spa to family members.

Posted 07/30/08

I have had an hour facial twice now, with Marylouise. She is fantastic. She not only did a great job on my face, but she also massaged my arms, upper back, neck. Beforehand I told her that I was totally stressed out. She listened and gave me the most relaxing facial I have ever had in my whole life. My skin looked wonderful afterwards, didn't really need makeup. The atmosphere at Heights Massage and Day Spa is very relaxing, wonderful scents, music, great private cozy room, totally wonderful and relaxing. Did I say relaxing? I floated out of there.............

Pros: great therapists, great atmosphere, great facials

Cons: none

Posted 07/26/08

I am a big fan of Heights Message and Day Spa! I get all of my waxing done there with Tita and she does a fantastic job. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff is extremely welcoming. I highly recommend it!

Pros: nice staff, relaxing environment, great service, willing to work with your schedule

Posted 07/23/08

I went there for eye brow wax and eye lash perm. As I have been sick of nail salon nearby, I was pretty happy with their service in a private space. The initial eye lash perm did not result in "the best", but getting settled and okay as days go by, Laura kindly offered to fix it and I am very happy with the result. She is a great esthetician. I will recommend this place to my friends and I myself am returning for regular eye brow wax.

Posted 07/23/08

This spa is excellent. The staff is super friendly and the services (even waxing) make you feel very relaxed. I highly recommend this day spa.

Pros: Atmoshpere, location, staff

Cons: parking

Posted 07/16/08

I have been to Heights Massage twice now and both massages were amazing- the first time I had a massage by Elizabeth Rowell, and it was so great. Second time, I had a couples massage w/ my bf, and it was such a relaxing experience- Mary Louise (who I think is new to Heights Massage) gave me the best massage I've ever had- she was very focused on giving me the type of massage I reqested. The bf had Elizabeth this time and he loved it too. Great Stuff about Heights massage: 1. the therapists really listen to you, and are careful to give you the type of massage you discussed before the session (based on a form you fill out about all of your preferences) 2. the spa is quiet, quaint and relaxing- the rooms are a good temperature, the music is soothing, and the tables are comfortable, plus they specialize in massage so no loud hair dryers or gossiping pedicurists to break your mood 3. the location is great- in a small house in the heights with a really great enclosed back deck/garden with pool and hot tub you can incoporate into a package if you want. 4. The price is right- these people definitely know what they're doing and I feel like I got more than my money's worth for my 1,5 hr massage. I definitely recommend this place- there's a reason this is always winning "best massage in Houston"- because it most certainly is.

Pros: very skilled therapists, atmosphere, professional

Cons: none

Posted 07/06/08

I read the reviews on citysearch about Heights so I thought I would give it a shot. I went in for brow and bikini waxing. Teta did an amazing job shaping my brows (Thanks Teta!) Not to mention the great bikini wax she gave me. She was so precise and detailed and made me feel so comfortable. I will definetely be back to see Teta again!

Pros: See Teta and you will know why this place is so great!

Cons: none that I saw

Posted 06/26/08

I had been once to Heights Massage & Day Spa several years ago for a brow wax but then moved away before being able to try their other services. When I returned to Houston I saw the latest accolades on Citysearch and decided to go back. The experience was fantastic. Everyone is so friendly, they are extremely organized and accommodating, and my massage was the best I have had in years. I was so pleased that I purchased a package of 10 hours of massage so I can go back to Mary Louise again over the next several months. I highly recommend her and all of her collagues, and the great location tucked away in the Heights!

Pros: Staff, location, range of services, quality of services

Posted 06/23/08
