Sensia Studio & Japanese Day

This spa charges too high price for the services that other spas would provide so much better. A $50 feet detox is the only enjoyment that I give credit for interesting service today. A $95 facial and the $50 hair dry are way too expensive while other salons provide the massages with the facial & better trim for the hair fix with a lower price. This place is small, crowded, & has no closet for customer to store belongings. What's a rip off. Pros: Ion Detox Cons: services charge high prices but not meet expectations. more

A wonderfully tranquil place to experience a massage. I was able to relax and escape in the atmosphere. The service I received from the staff was above par. I was offered fresh tea but rather asked for water. I was given ice cold water with cucumber slices. Very refreshing. I will be going back. Pros: Service, Ambience more

We just moved to Houston and I've been desperately looking for a new facialist...we'll I've found him! Yay! I am an ex-esthetician/business owner...trust me....he is fabulous! Pros: Great facials...you get a full hour instead of 50 minutes! Cons: Receptionist should stay off the phone and give client full attention at checkout. more

I received a gift certificate for a Spa Pedicure & Manicure at Sensia and truly love the experience. This was not an average so so pedicure that one gets at the nail shops in strip centers. My manicurist, Tracie, was gentle, thorough and gave me a ""much longer than expected"" feet massage and reflexology with warm stones. The procedure was performed complete with exfoliant, mask, hot towels ...etc.... all for $60.00. The manicure was just as pampered with salt scrub and hot towels. One month later I came back for another pedicure and my polish was not a bit chipped. I have since recommended to my friends and coworkers and they all love it as well. The bottom line is if you want your feet and hands to be pampered come to Sensia and ask for Tracie -- sweet, positive attitude and gives great service. Pros: great location .... greater manicures & pedicures Cons: current remodeling constructions was not pleasant more

Melissa and Cynthia do an amazing job at makeup. They did my makeup and my entire bridal party and everyone looked fabulous. The only thing that irritated me was that the bride gets charged $25 more and I don't really understand how that is justified. But they make you look fabulous so I recommend them no matter what. They are so much better than Facade, because they provide a natural elegant look, which is what you want in your pictures. Pros: Makeup artists! Cons: Staff in the front of the salon more

I just found my new massage spot. I am forever hooked on Hugo. He fixed my shoulder and I am setting up monthly massages with him. I can't wait till the third week of the month!!!!!every month!!!! Pros: Hugo's massage more

I had a crick in my lower back for three days. I was miserable sitting at my desk. Out of desperation I scheduled for a massage at Sensia and they could get me in same day. The therapist worked on my hips and back and I am sitting and walking so much more comfortably. I feel great! Pros: massage, availibilty, massage more

I learned so much from a quick lesson from Melissa. She showed me the liquid mineral foundation which I am so in love with. I am also now addicted to the gel liners. My eyeliner is easy to put on and is not going anywhere! I also have gotten my hair done by Tiffany. She gave me a super cut! I can style it my self and it is one of the best cuts I have ever had! Last but not least my nails by Tracey! She gave me one of the most relaxing thourough manicure pedicures in a long time. The spa was relaxing and the pedicure complete! Pros: skill, training, massage more

I recieved an email about sensia's thermal hair straightner, and decided to read the reviews. Now I have to be honest and say I only went once, last year for mothers day gift certificate I received. The manicure and pedicure were amazing. The massage was so dreadful. It was way to much pressure, the most horrible massage I ever had. When I was done, I asked about my facial, and the receptionists told me i didnt have one. I did, it came with my gift certificate. I left, and my husband was so upset he called to complain. The manager did call me and tried to get me to come back in, but I never did. I would go back, I would just make sure to speak up next time, and NEVER GET ANOTHER MASSAGE AGAIN! The staff was friendly except for the receptionist who had no clue what was going on, her excuse to the manager was, she thought I had looked like someone else. Everyone does make mistakes though. more

I went to sensia for a warm stone body massage. I told the my masseuse the areas that i was sensitive in and hoped that she would be more careful with those areas. i felt more tense leaving the place than when i first arrived. she did a mixture of swedish w/ the warm stone and the swedish part felt horrible. if i felt she was putting too much pressure, i would tell her and all she would say is ""i'm not even pushing that hard"". regardless if you think you are or not, you should always listen to the customer. she kept right on with the same amount of pressure. more

Went to Sensia again for a One Hour Massage, ask for Nirmal, he trained in India and gave me the most wonderful experience on a massage table.. This is not a basic massage, he said he was going to give me a combination of deep tissue and table tai. He only charged 80.00 for one hour and I was on the table 60minutes..great value Pros: Massage world,spa,professional more

The best pedicure I have ever had.. The spa and pedicure area was wonderful and they only charge 40.00 for one hour. This is not a basic pedicure, they used hot stones, salt scrub and mask on my legs. Great job Sensia.. Front desk is busy but I can see why, the place is hoppin.. Pros: Pedicure more

Went to Sensia with my sister and mother for my moms birthday. We all throughly enjoyed ourselves, the services were wonderful and the spa was quite, relaxing. I have been to others spa's but this one takes the birthday "".. cake. Staff was professional and friendly..Great Value Pros: Great value for what Sensia offers more

I went to Sensia recently on my wedding day to get my hair and make-up done..along with my bridal party. The guy that works in the front (might be a manager) was horrible! I sat waiting to be worked on for two hours and he kept asking who i was and why was I waiting. I told him I was the bride about 5 times. I also encountered him and a couple of other staff members talking bad about customers (from their attitude to the way they looked). Some of the stylist are genuinely nice and do a great job, but its not worth it to go there after what I experienced! Pros: Decent hairstylist Cons: Awful staff more

Rad gives fantastic facials! He is fun and leaves you feeling fabulous. My skin has never looked better. Pros: Facials by Rad are incredible Cons: Decor is dated and the spa music should be updated more

If you want silky, gorgeous, straight hair go to Melina at Sensia for a TR. She is the best in the industry by far. My hair does not frizz, curl, or do any of the nasty things it did before. I hop out the shower and can leave the house with wet hair (which has never been an option for me) and it will dry beautifully. Melina will take care of you. She is worth every penny and more. Houston is lucky to have her as well as Sensia. I don't live in Houston anymore but I come back to have her do my hair because you will not find better results than this when getting a TR done. Melina takes care of other hair needs I have as well and if I could I would take her with me as my personal hair assistant. I never write reviews but I know I have done so much research on this procedure before I started doing it 4 years ago and finding someone that is good in the city you are in isn't always easy so I thought I would share. Take care. more

So, I went to Rahul (aka ""The Chemist"") for hilites. He is bar none, the best blonde maker there is. I used to go to New York for highlites. Thankfully, I don't need to anymore. He is superb -- he will not allow you to leave with yellow or brassy hair; in fact, he wants you to be a ""pearly blonde"". He is also ALWAYS ON TIME, and uber professional. Had a conversation with him about my unruly frizz, which Orlando (the Babe Ruth of stylists) ordinally straightens for me. I look like an add for Jheri Curl when I don't have a really good blowout. Anyway, Vikki (aka The Bomb) gave me THE LATEST AND GREATEST cutting-edge hair straightener. It is called THE BRAZILIAN (don't get the wrong idea, here, I am not bald!!) I am gob-smacked by the results. NO breakage, NO harsh chemicals (it actually smells like chocolate!) and silky smooth straight hair. When I want to go curly, my curls are perfect, and actually obey me - no frizz and no worries. My drying time has been cut in half, too - no hassles, no lengthy olympic arm workouts, and super gorgeous soft PERFECTLY STRAIGHT hair in 15 -20 minutes. I didn't do the full on 100% straightener because I was wary (I've had the japanese before, and needed to change continents after that disaster) Thanks to this unbelievable team of Houdinis I walked out of there looking like a movie star. EVERYONE there was super sweet and professional, except one cranky guy at the desk. Pay him no attention and you will think you'd died and come back as a natural straight haired blonde. Who knew?! Thank you Sensia! more

The best thing about this place is Melina. She does a phenomenal job on the Japanese Thermal Reconditioning Straightener. I have had the procedure done in New Orleans four times and thought they did an excellent job. I couldn't have imagined that it could be any better but Melina is the only person that actually has my hair feeling silkier and looking straighter than it ever has. I highly recommend her, I can honestly say she does such a wonderful job it makes spending the money much easier. Thanks more
