Sensia Studio & Japanese Day

This is my 3rd experience at Sensia . I went for a Massage and Facial with my mother for her birthday. The staff was was very professional and friendly. My mom was waiting in the relaxation area and the owner asked my mom to try a new foot reflexology/massage circulation machine the spa just installed. What a nice touch while waiting for her facial. I will be back. Pros: Wonderful services,professional staff more

I have been to this place two times now and the second time did it for me. This was supposed to be a surprise for me by my bridesmaids who had planned a whole spa day for me but the front desk called me to confirm the appt. Go figure ........and then they called me three times on the day of the appointment to reschedule , first time because their carpet was being redone and was not completed, second time because their facial person had a flu and third time because they had my appts mixed up with someone else. After wasting 5 hrs of my day, I still was patient and made it to my appt. the manicurist was obviously mad about something and started telling me about how moving my appt had ruined the rest of her appts for the day and that it wasnt fair to her. She was literally yelling at me and filing my nails like it was a block of wood. i think i had enough at this point and had to leave. more

Can't tell from the outside, but the inside was well hidden with great decors and very relaxing enviroment. The massage was not so great. I seemed rushed and the massage was a ""repeat"" of movement. Overall, the atmosphere was great, but the staff was unfriendly. Pros: Parking & Cons: Service more

Not a very good massage. Was supposed to be a full hour and it lasted 40 minutes. During my massage, her movements were very quick and too obviously memorized when they should be slow and relaxing. I also did not like that the area to change into robes was a very small one person bathroom. I was supposed to hang my clothes on a hanger on the wall for anyone after me to see instead of small lockers like everywhere else I have been. Everyone had to wait their turn to change into a robe, out of a robe, or just use the restroom. I also did not like that she cracked my toes during my massage...that to me is not relaxing and in fact makes me nervous to hear my bones cracking. Pros: parking Cons: changing room, some massage ""techniques"" more

I came here for my wedding day, to get myself and my bridal parties hair done. My hair and makeup was a disaster. My bridesmaids looked bad. Dont go here! more

I got introduced to Sensia on my 21st b-day, and since then I have been an advocate for the salon. Melissa applies extreme eyelash extensions which are AMAZING!! I constantly receive compliments from people all day, whom, would never know they are extensions had I not told them. Not only do they look and feel incredibly natural, but, they are durable. I receive touch-ups once a month and that is perfect... I don't even have to wear make-up! The lashes are excellent and the quality can not be compared. I have only given my ""secret"" to a few...but, its well kept. With the help of Melissa applying my lashes and Heidi shaping my brows...I have the best beauty team around... People always tell me, ""you have eyelashes to die for,"" and I just think to myself, ""or to buy for...."" Pros: Great Customer Service, Professional, Knowledgeable, Very Consistent more

Tiffany is the BEST hairstylist! You can count on her to give you an excellent layered look and for your hair to be gorgeous when you leave and long after. Tiffany is consistently pleasant and professional, she takes her time and does an excellent job always giving me exactly what I want. Pros: Hairstylist are friendly and efficient. Cons: The girls at the front desk act as being a receptionist is a dirty word and their phone skills are lacking. more

I am taking out time from my very busy schedule to write this review so that viewers can benefit from my wonderful experience at Sensia. As a victim of the Ike hurricane, after living 23 days without power I decided to escape and unwind. My 90 mins massage with Susana was heavenly. She used all different techniques and positions and yes my massage lasted the entire 90 min duration. Following my wonderful massage was the most thorough and best pedicure ever by Tracie... completes with detailed cleaning and a nice long reflexology massage with warm stones while I enjoy my cup of green tea, soft music and relaxing in the spa's warm and tranquil environment. I strongly recommend Susana for massage and Tracie for the warm stone spa pedicure, both, although not big in stature but with mighty strength. Pros: great location more

I HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS SALON BUT I DID NOT LIKE IT BECAUSE IT SEEMED SO VERY, VERY NOISY AND ALSO JUST TOO COLD. Cons: AMBIENCE....STAFF......NO ONE EVER SMILED more

A BIG FAN that?s what I am of Tiffany?s at Sensia Japanese Day Spa. When it comes to getting my hair styled and profiled there could not be a better stylist! Tiffany has been doing my hair for eight years and I would never think about making a change to anyone else. My hair is very fine and it?s hard for me to make it look full of body. But that?s not a problem for Tiffany. She knows what products, and styles to recommend and she's very good!!!! If you haven't met Tiffany, you need to! If you?re looking for a great stylist, look no more you need to meet Tiffany! She gives personal attention and she's interested in your hair not just your money! I am a longtime client of Tiffany and she knows exactly what I like and would not give me anything less then that! And the best part is she's located in the Houston Galleria area! So ladies if you want your hair to look and feel beautiful give Sensia Japanese Day Spa a call and ask to be service by TIFFANY. You?ll look and feel so good when she finishes that you?ll want to go shopping, and guess what ladies?..the mall is right down the street. Pros: GREAT SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE!! FRIENDLY STAFF Cons: CAN'T THINK OF ONE more

I got a facial at Sensia a few years ago and was a little hesitant but decided to try it again anyways (it wasn't that bad the first time) I made an appointment and got in the same day. I never had a guy do my facial before so I didn't know what to expect but Rad was awesome! He seemed to be excited himself too see his final result. This was the most thorough facial I have ever gotten. There are so many steps I lost count. The extractions are aggressive. He also gives you a shoulder/neck/arm/face massage so it balances out the extractions. Overall, It was awesome! more

I had a massage from Brian that was mush more than an average massage. He really did a superb job and you could tell that he had a REAL knowledge of the human body and how it worked. My sholders feel great! Thank you Brian for the best massage! Pros: massage calm theraputic more

I just did my own hair! I got the worlds best haircut from Tiffany! You know how when the hair stylist styles your hair it looks great and it is impossible to recreate on your own? Well I did it, I have recreated the awesome hair style! I think it might even look better with me styling it! more

I was at Sensia Studio yesterday and had the Precious Fruit scrub and body wrap. It was so luxurious and smelled like heaven. I found out from my therapist that it is a 100% organic treatment. The srub left my skin feeling so soft and then to finish it off the yogurt body wrap was intoxicating. I think every woman that needs a little R&R should try this. Thanks Sensia I had a wonderful time and a found a new spa. Pros: very friendly and informative more

Received a gift certificate for a Pedicure and Massage..Angela gave me the best pedicure I have ever had and she even did nail art (flower) on my toe, I was going to Miami for the weekend. Massage by Brian was excellent. The spa was quiet and the atmosphere was very cool. The staff was professional and friendly which was hard to pull off that day as they were very busy. Best gift I have received in a long time. Pros: Open Sundays more

After checking reviews for Day Spas here on CitySearch I felt confident that I too would enjoy my time at Sensia. I checked in and was immediately escorted to the back room to a chair outside the pedicure stations. As we walked I was told to turn off my cell phone, there was a book to explain the process on the table, and someone would be with me shortly. The atmosphere was pleasant with the usual soothing CD playing and water fall feature. The very low lighting made it difficult to read. A woman brought me a delightful glass of cucumber water.Then to my surprise instead of taking me to a treatment room they brought out a PORTABLE FOOT SPA! I proceeded to have a fifty dollar Detox treatment in an ordinary chair, in the corner of their busy corridor. As I sat there trying to read their book in the dark one of the passerby employee adjusted the lighting. With the heavy staff traffic, there must be a break room or bathroom adjoining the area I was seated. I felt totally exposed. They recommend six treatments with monthly follow ups. I passed on the package. I not only didn?t enjoy sitting in their hallway; the Detox treatment showed little noticeable difference from an ordinary foot spa. Apparently I have had little to no exposure to the full page list of everyday life exposures including bad eating and drinking habits. A lady stuck her head out from what I guess was a Japanese paper door and shushed us. I was shocked! Do not get me wrong, I appreciate the attention given to the customer?s peacefulness that was receiving the facial however, if our low voice was that disturbing the paper wall is indeed a design flaw. I went to the front desk to reconcile my account and told of being shushed. Her response was ?Oh. That is a whisper zone.? I had spoken in a low tone but not in a whisper, information that needed to be communicated by the person escorting me back. Sensia was a disappointment due to the lack of privacy and the staff's communication skills. more

After trying 3 different skin care salons and 2 different dermatologist (one of whom caused scars), my 16 year old daughter has finally seen great improvement in her skin after becoming a client of Karen at Sensia. Karen is the first esthetician we have found who can successfully remove blackheads without leaving the face bright red or causing pain. She also is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of skin care, and can impart this information in a way that teenagers will listen to. more

After my favorite facialist left the Heights Massage and Day Spa, I visited several other spas trying to find a replacement. Thanks to other reviews on Citysearch, I scheduled a facial with Rad, and he lived up to all of the rave reviews. First, he has a great personality - full of energy! Second, he gives an amazing facial. The extractions were aggressive, which was exactly what I needed. One day later, the breakouts look better. He also packs an incredible amount of treatment into the session (cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, facial massage...). It felt like he was really taking his time to give my skin the attention and treatment it needed. Finally, the Sensia studio has a nice quiet waiting area where you can relax before your appointment, and the Galleria location is convenient with plenty of parking. If you are looking for the best facial Houston can offer, schedule your appointment with Rad right away. Pros: Amazing facial, nice waiting area, great prices more

Pros: Easy to get to Cons: Inexperienced stylists, unprofessional more

My experience with Sensia was not very in depth, but I know enough about the establishment to recommend it. Their techniques are quite innovative (for this area) and they offer a very long and impressive list of services. Conveniently, they are open on Sundays, unlike most other spas in the area. more
