Sensia Studio & Japanese Day

Went to Sensia to get a haircut, color, and massage. Lance gave me a gorgeous color... deep rich reddish brown... I am so happy with my hair right now. Lance was quite entertaining :). Him, Noe and Francisco cracked me up that night Jean Paul gave me the best massage ever. All my knots were kneaded away with no pain. I saw a few posts complaining about the reception area, but both of the girls there were very friendly to me and the other guests. I will definitely be going back! more

I see Noe for for highlights and haircut. He does beautiful work and he's fast! I recently started using Sensia's natural, mineral make up line, which, was apparently created by their lead make up artist to hold up to Houston humidity. I travel quite a bit for work and what I like about Sensia the most is that I can get everything done under one roof: nails, hair, facials and make up. I love this place! I suggest making an appointment. Pros: They do absolutely everything here more

I've been going to francisco to get my hair cut and I love it! I constantly get compliments on my haircut and my vibrant color i had done by Noe. The spa area is so relaxing and they offer so many types of massages! Friendly front desk and I can always get in for an appointment! I deffinitely reccomend trying this salon out Pros: Relaxing, great customer service more

I have never been to Sensia and have always heard horrible reviews from friends/family. I purchased a Groupon for a facial and thought I would give it a try. The receptionist was so rude on a number of occasions, that I actually requested a refund on my Groupon! I tried to reschedule my appointment due to a family emergency and the receptionist threatened to ""void"" my Groupon if I ever tried to reschedule again. And, she actually argued with me! DON""T GO THERE!!! Pros: Nine Cons: Customer Service more

The positive: I have not lived in Houston for many years. It was close to the holidays and I was running out of time before I was leaving to visit family in Houston but badly needed a haircut. My friend suggested I wait until I was in Houston and get it cut at her salon. My friend's stylist wasn't available so I set up an appointment with Vikki. Vikki was everything I had been looking for in a stylist! She is a professional- both in her styling abilities, manor, and customer service. My experiences with Vikki were so great that for over 4 years I would drive 3 hours to have my hair cut by her. She also did a wonderful job twice doing a rinse on my hair. I also had Elizabeth do my make-up trail and wedding day make-up. Elizabeth was great at listening to my comments about the trial make-up and altering things to give me a flawless, radiant yet natural look! So you may be wondering why I gave them such a low rating. Well here is why: The negative: It has to do with the management and the lack of customer service I received on my wedding day. I am not one of those brides that think everyone should bow down and wait on her on the day of her wedding. Actually, I am often a little too soft spoken which is perhaps why I was ignored by the management. I took a seat in the waiting area after my make-up appointment. Twenty minutes into my scheduled updo appointment time, I went to the front desk and explained that I was anxious about the time. Instead of being concerned, the manager curtly asked what time was my wedding and responded that ""the stylist would have plenty of time; she didn't need all the time that was scheduled"". I responded the extra time was scheduled based on how long it took her to do my hair at my trial. He dismissed my comment and five minutes later ushered another woman into the stylist's seat. As I continued to wait, a ten year old girl sat next to me crying hysterically for over 20 minutes about her hair style and saw her mother delay the stylist while she tried to pacify the girl. The girl continued to cry and loudly complain to the other females in her party until the manager got another stylist to redo the little girl's hair. An hour after my scheduled appointment time, I sat down in the stylist's chair. While she was doing my hair, I listened to her complain about not having lunch because no one but the bride in the other party had an appointment, and she had to squeeze in two more people after me. The stylist rushed on my hair and instead of the large ringlets that held for 6 hours on the day of my trial, she gave me a head full of uncontrolled curls that fell out within 2 hours on my wedding day. She didn't even bother to ask if I was satisfied. I paid and left the salon. I will not be returning. I refuse to go to a place who services first time, loud & rude customers who don't have appointments while ignoring a customer who has an appointment, is timely, and politely brings problems to their attention. So if you are a diva, you'll get great service; otherwise be prepared to get walked all over by one as the manager caters to him/her and ignores you. Pros: Vikki, she was the best stylist I ever had Cons: Bad management more

Jonathan is an artist therefore he sees hair as a way to frame the natural beauty of any face. He is stylish and chic and with his eye he has a talent for bringing out the best in each person. Inside and out. Pros: Best haircut in town more

I requested individual eyelash service from Melissa, who also happens to be the manager of the salon. She proceeded to put 10 individual lashes on each eye which she counted. When completed I told her they were very skimpy and she replied, ""You don't have a lot of lashes to apply them to."" She then sold me mascara to apply to the non-lashes that she said I had. The mascara was fabulous but the lash application lacked a lot. I did not check the lashes as I should have because I was in a rush due to out-of-town guests. Pros: Tiffany is a fantastic hairdresser Cons: Insensitive eyelash technician and manager more

Heidi is a-ma-zing! My face has never been so squeaky-clean, and the redness from the extractions was gone by the time I got home...I have very sensitive skin, so this is a feat in and of itself! She took her time and my facial and peel were everything they're supposed to be -- cleansing, renewing, relaxing, etc. Pros: great facial Cons: rude receptionist/check-out more

I have never written a review before, but I have read others, so I felt compelled to let other people know that Rad Yeske at Sensia gives the very best facials of anywhere that I have been. I am addicted to facials, and I have tried many spas: in The Woodlands, Spring, Galleria area, and everytime I travel. But I curently drive from The Woodlands to Post Oak just for Rad. I have to admit, even if the cost was higher, I would still go because he is that good to my skin, but it is not even as expensive as other spas! The difference with a facial from Rad versus others is the way my skin looks in the days after. It has a different glow and feeling when he does it. I have referred all of my friends to him, and they are still thanking me. The spa is clean and has reasonably priced services. I hope he never leaves Sensia, but if he did, I would follow! Pros: Extreme attention to detail, very professional, low price more

I had very thick, curly, ugly hair. This place straightened it and now I love it. I tried everything and I was very hesitant to try the Japanese Straightening, but this place did it beautifully. I haven't gotten anything else done here, but I definitely recommend this place for hair straightening. Pros: They know what they're doing more

This is now my fourth visit to Sensia and I am absolutely hooked. Michelle is the best!!! She is so sweet and has an immense knowledge of the products used in the salon as well as the products I use at home. After her facials and her recommendations on the products I need to use I can actually see a reversal in my skin. It is firmer, less apparent lines around my mouth and eyes....my co-workers have even made several comments about whether or not I have been getting facial peels. I swear by the products I am using now and the custom outlined facials given by Michelle. I am so glad I have now found a spa I will commit to! Pros: Improved skin and better knowledge of products Cons: Have to schedule way in advance. more

I have been going to Jonathan for several years to get my hair done. I have always been very very particular about who does my hair and consider it an investment in my overall professional wardrobe. Pros: Knowledge & Expertise more

I have my hair done at Sensia. They do a terrific job and would recommend it to anyone. The atmosphere is wonderful, so relaxing and soothing. The staff are most accommodating and pleasant. more

Does anyone know where Melina went? I called to make an appointment and she is no longer at Sensia and they won't tell me where she went. Thanks so much for the help! more

After relocating to Houston from LA, I had a difficult time finding a salon and stylist. I unhappily worked my way through several of the salons on Citysearch's top 10 list until trying Sensia. I was lucky enough to get Lance. He did a terrific job with my color and i LOVE my cut. I have very thin hair and he did a fantastic job creating volume. He's a fun guy and very attentive without fawning. The salon has a great atmosphere and the staff is friendly. Location is handy with ample parking. Pros: Lance, ambiance, parking Cons: Must have cash for tips w/o advance warning when booking more

We have just relocated to Houston and my first visit to Sensia with Tracey was on a referral from my neighbor, and this was the best nail services I've ever had although I've been to many spas while living in California. Tracey gave me a very thorough pedicure with a nice long warm stone massage and her touch is very firm yet soothing not to mention the relaxing ambience of the quiet area. Tracey gave me a ""tour"" to the spa and I am definetely coming back for my massage and facial. If anyone is looking for a dayspa to be pampered--Sensia is THE PLACE. Pros: convenient location Cons: not good parking at lunch time more

I had the most relaxing and invigorating pedicure with Angela at this spa. She worked her magic on my aching feet! she is truly as good as they get , and I highly reccommend her. I will never go to another spa now that I've found her! Pros: Angela -- she is fabulous! more

Angie is awesome! She gives the BEST pedicures & always remembers me when I come in. I have been there numerous times & any time I have ahad a complaint they have fixed it. I recommend Sensia....especially Angie's pedi's! Pros: nice staff Cons: a little cramped feeling more

First of all I only go to Sensia because of Rad and his facials. I've had many facials over the years and could never commit to any one, however, Rad is trained to be an Esthetician which some would refer to as european facials. Rad has a gentle demeanor and the touch to clean your your face as if that's all that matters. He also goes beyond the standard facial and will massage your hands which is delightful. You will not be dissappointed. Pros: Best Facial around Cons: Paper Rice walls more

Went again to Sensia, on Sunday for a massage. I recommend Travis, he gave me a wonderful professional experience. This was one of the best massage I have ever received. The facial was very great, and my face was glowing, (needed to get that dead winter skin scrubbed away). I loved the area Sensia has created, very relaxing, water sounds, music. And the cost was not expensive and well worth my time. Pros: Professional, not overpriced more
