The worst mani/pedi I have ever received! Very disappointing! Polish was old and place did not seem clean. There did not appear to be a certified nail technician. A hair stylist that was not busy at the time did my mani/pedi. It turned out so bad that the receptionist was so embarrassed that she attempted to fix it. Don’t waste your money thinking you will be getting an extra special service. My time and money would have been better spent at a walk in place nearby.

I’m pretty particular about getting a haircut, seeing that every time I try to go to a quick and cheap place I get a lopsided mess. Atrium is my go to place for a haircut in Houston, with a men’s haircut at $ 25. I’ve had 3 different stylists work on my hair, and they’ve all turned out great, getting me exactly what I wanted. Definitely recommend this to anyone willing to pay for a mid priced men’s cut.

If I could give this salon 6 stars I would! I can always count on Thu to give a great cut and color — she consistently does top notch work and her staff is wonderful! They are situated in an ideal spot that is roomy, comfortable and full of light. The front of the shop has boutique items for sale along with makeup(Bare Minerals) and face products(Dermalogica). I always pick up a few scented wax melts for my warmers and on several occasions have purchased cards a gifts as well. I’ve also had waxing done — all high quality work for a very reasonable rate.

Being that this is the first time I’ve been here, it wasn’t that bad… I went in for an afternoon of relaxation and had a decent time. The first impression is yes… the place is a little small with a bunch of knick knacks for sale(BareEssential makeup, rings, necklaces, etc.). And it definitely took up more space, but it was cute… kinda… The young lady at the front that checked me in was cute and really nice. After checking in, I realized that there was not a locker room for you to change in, so be prepared to disrobe inside the room and put your clothes in the corner. I started off with a hot stone massage that was not bad, but not something I was impressed with. Then again… I’m comparing this to my first hot stone massage I got on a cruise about nine months ago… so I personally don’t think this comparison is entirely fair. The therapist did her best and it was ok. The room was small and a little cramped, but you’re greeted with a white rose on a heated massage table. She did her best with the space she had. I went in next for a pedicure and acrylic set right after the massage. I LOVED her! Her name is Masiel and she’s from Cuba. Not that where she’s from matters, but the fact that I was able to have nice conversation says something. She is very thorough and good at what she does… she is a little rough, so be prepared… but I didn’t mind. I definitely recommend her if you want a good pedicure and full set! Overall, it was a cute spot and will definitely come in again to get my nails done. Not sure about the massage though…

I had made appointments here for my bridal nails/makeup/hair, and for wedding day nails/makeup/hair for myself, my mom, and all of my bridesmaids. Thank goodness I made the bridal nail appointment first, because if I’d walked in there on my wedding day it might have ruined my wedding. The place is awful — cramped, only 2 chairs in the waiting area, and full of tacky knickknacks and useless«stuff» for sale so that you can’t move without bumping into one or another of their cluttered, brightly-colored displays. Why does a salon need to sell corkscrews, exactly? Even the back seemed super-cramped, and the whole place was extremely warm, like maybe their a/c was broken or something. I was told that the nail artist was running an hour late on appointments — even though it was only 10 am, and I only saw one or two other customers in the entire place. The receptionist didn’t seem concerned at all that I might have other things to do and that regardless of what time I told her I needed to be elsewhere, what mattered to me was going in at the time I had made an appointment for. She just kind of stared at me, and would disappear into the back and then come back, like it was shocking anyone wouldn’t be happy with the situation. I cancelled all of my appointments — too bad for them since it was going to be a couple thousand dollars all together — and am going to find somewhere that doesn’t feel like a horrible garage sale.

Been around Houston a lot like to try out different salons and spas, but this is by far one of the best I have ever been to. The environment is elegant, welcoming and the services performed by the stylist’s are impressive. Described how I wanted my hair cut cut styled and colored and it was exactly what I asked for the first time around without any mistakes or mishaps like I would get at any other salon. Definitely will be making another appointment here!

What a wonderful find! My mom, sister, and I called at the last minute and they were able to fit us all in for massages and various nail services. The massages were very well done — during mine I even got lessons on stretching to avoid further back pain. My finger and toe nails were done to perfection while I relaxed in the cushy massage chair. I highly recommend this spa and especially the women that work there. Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable, and talented. The next time I’m in the Houston area I’ll be sure to stop by!
