Etheria Salon and Day Spa

Eureka!!! I have found my place to get massages from now on! I am an avid runner and have been trying many different massage locations throughout the city. Getting a good deep tissue massage is paramount to my goals for running and I have been generally let down by the places I go… either for the lack of attention to my requests or the massage would be lighter or just substandard. From my very first visit Roxy was very attentive to my sore spots and goes to work to remedy them! She will find the areas needing the most attention before I even go into detail about them. I have been going for close to nine months and have never been let down. Getting massages from Roxy is part of recovery and maintenance routine to stay healthy and staying fresh. My only wish was I would have found Etheria and Roxy sooner. If you are an athlete or need a great massage… look no further… this spa is your spot!

The ambiance is great here– great crew– would highly recommend to friends and family. Thank you Etheria !!!

I highly recommend this spa. Came in for a hot stone massage to release some back tension as well as stress and they did just that! The masseuse was very gentle and approachable. The spa was extremely welcoming the minute I walked in and maintain that same magnitude of customer service until I left. I will be back to try other services.

Unfortunately, I’m reviewing the spa based on NOT experiencing it. I sent two emails, called, & left voicemails to schedule an appointment. I received no response to any of my inquiries. The one time someone answered when I called, I was left on hold for so long, I just hung up. This was probably a blessing in disguise: It’s probably better that I experienced such poor customer service before spending my money.

The wait was a little too long for having an appointment, but the place was very clean, the service was friendly, and I was pleased with the results of a spray tan and pedicure that I got here. It looked like their most popular service was haircuts/​color, so I may need to come back to give them a try!

I’ve been here twice since I moved to Houston. Both times were to pamper out of town guests (and myself) with a spa day. I booked a massage, a cleansing facial, and a mani/​pedi. I had Roxy for my massage and Luisa for my facial. Both were amazing! Those ladies know what they’re doing. Sooo relaxing. I fell asleep during the facial both times. Somehow, it ends up being more relaxing than the massage. My back and neck felt so much better and my face was so soft and smooth afterwards. I really wish I could just lay in the treatment room and take a nap after because I literally did not want to move afterwards.
I was not impressed with the manicure and pedicure. I had a different person each time I went and I felt like the cheaper nail salons have done a better job with cleaning up my cuticles and the paint job. The ladies are really nice and easy to talk to and it does complete the spa day but I wouldn’t come here to just get a manicure/​pedicure. The people I went with had Rebecca for their nails and they both really like her and thought she did a great job so maybe it was just the technicians i had.
Overall, I am definitely coming back for massages and facials.

This is a great place. I have been coming here for haircuts for ten years or so. Giovanni or Vikky cut my hair and they are great. They also have a nice spa.

My wife convinced me to go with her to this Spa.
I got the deep tissue massage and it was OK. It wasn’t bad or great. I had better. Will I come back? Probably not for I can get the same service cheaper elsewhere.
My wife enjoyed her pedicure but didn’t think much of their hands and feet massage.

Really enjoyed my pedicure and manicure, but experienced one major issue. I had my pedicure first and it went well. Nail technician did a thorough and careful job. As soon as she finished she rushed me out of the chair to get started on my manicure. I don’t get pedicures often and when I do I stumble out of the chair and usually ruin a toe or two instantly. I tried to get out slowly and carefully. A bit of a challenge with my heavy purse, but I got out successfully despite being rushed the entire time. So then tried to speed up and stubbed my toe on the pedestal of the next chair. I thought I hit my baby toe, but when I checked it, it was fine.
Moving on I got the OPI infinite shine manicure after stating that I needed something that would withstand my inability to be gentle with my hands. Again all is going well, nails are looking really good. I was annoyed that I wasn’t asked if I wanted the nails cut to be the same length. I did, but she just filed them. In the end I didn’t mind as they looked good long despite my preference of short. My nails grow fast.
Anyway I don’t know how you’re supposed to let the infinite shine dry, but after the base, color, and top all being applied she put me under a light for 4 min. This is when I noticed it was in fact my fourth toe that was ruined. I wanted to ask the nail tech to just slab a little bit more on it. I didn’t care if it looked messy, I just wanted the full nail colored. The way it was had a diagonal corner clean. But nail tech was having her own nails done by another so I let her be. She reset the light for another 4 min and said I could go afterwards. I wasn’t in a rush, but when it finished she insisted I go. I was nervous about the nails not being dried and still wanted the one toe to be touched up, but again she was distracted with her own nails and very dismissive. «You can go now.» I figured I’d be back to sneakers in 2 days anyway so I didn’t bother her.
I went to pay and of course I ruined a nail or two trying to get my wallet from my purse and/​or credit card from my wallet. Felt like that was my fault so I didn’t say anything. The nails definitely weren’t dry though. I got back to my hotel 15 min later and still ruined more nails. I was really disappointed. I wanted to say something but didn’t feel comfortable as it was my first time there and I just felt like such an outsider there. Everyone else seemed to know each other. I was alone and just wanted to get back to the hotel to enjoy my vacation.
I just wish the nail tech would have let me stay. Instead I paid for an expensive long lasting manicure that I just want to take off. :/​At least half of the nails were smudged within the day.

Love this place. Friendly staff, clean building and a great selection of things. Roxy did my massage for my birthday today and she was beyond great. Pleasant, polite and pure wonderful. Will go back in the future.

My first time to the salon was perfect. I went to have a hair trim and highlight. Ty was my stylist. I wanted a different color on my hair at first but Ty recommended a another color as he explained why. I gave it a try and my hair turned out so pretty. I’m so surprised and happy. I had a very long hair but he took time to fix my previous color, highlighted then trimmed and layered it. The whole process took more than three hours but I was very pleased. I have nothing else to say except Ty is definitely a go-​to stylist at Etheria.

This place is a heavenly oasis located in Montrose. Having only known the Asian foot rubs of China town, this type of spa was totally foreign to me. I felt like a Walmart shopper stepping into a Whole Foods. If getting a massage, remember to get there 10 — 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. The serenity begins by changing into a robe and slippers, available to you in a locker where your belongings will be safely kept. Then they offer you a glass of cucumber mint water. For a second, I seriously contemplated kicking my Sunkist addiction and going straight cuke-​mint water for the rest of my life. I asked my masseuse, Roxy, about the difference between the Aromatherapy massage and the Swedish massage. Her response was, «Why don’t I just do both?» Right answer. I relaxed for a moment in a dark, intimate waiting room before being led to my private massage table for what was to be one of the best massages I’ve had.
Roxy was very attentive, making sure each detail was just right — from the scents to the lighting and even ensuring that my belongings were properly locked up. We started with a paraffin wax treatment on my hands and she was very gentle (not like those friggin’ Asian places where they just burn your skin off without apology). Her massage was so good I couldn’t believe it. I could have sworn she had 4 arms, continuously moving and getting my knots out. It’s like her hands never left my body once. My 50 minutes flew by and soon I was incoherently stumbling back to the front desk. I like that you can leave a tip in a little mail slot instead of having to hand it over to your masseuse/​hair dresser/​whathaveyou. It reduces the pressure to tip high for mediocre service… but there was nothing mediocre about this massage. The people at Etheria really pampered me, and I hope to come back again soon. You know… once I’ve won the lottery or struck oil.

So I’ve been coming to this salon for 2 almost 3yrs now and I love it! Everyone is always very friendly and welcoming. Within the last 6 months they switched over Kerastase products which I LIVE FOR! My stylist is Jourdan and she is the best! Naturally my hair is a very dark brown and for the past 5 years I’ve been a platinum blonde! This look can be very damaging and a lot of maintenance. I like it to be a very white with a ash violet tint. Jourdan always gets it perfect! I also love that she always wants it to look good but she also always is looking out for the health of my hair! I’m one to just want to get it over with and bleach the crap out of it, but because she really cares about my hair it’s the healthiest its been in the 5 years I’ve had it like this! I love the salon and I HIGHLY recommend coming to see Jourdan Moore for Color and cut! She’s amazing at styling as well!

TY was recommended by my friend. Alright, I give it shot cause I’m always frustrated with the outcome of my hair cut. The very first time he cut my hair & I knew right there he’s the man! He’s very flexible & accommodating.
My wife was pleased with her hair style too. TY, he’s quite versatile on every aspect.
The business itself quite pleasing to those who want «me» time. Very professional staff around.
Highly recommended!

Very creative. Hair designers excellent and
Friendly, courteous staff always make you feel welcome! Restful atmosphere and excellent spa. I will return here again and again! Highly recommend Etheria.

Ty has been my hair «artist» since I was a teenage disaster in middle school! Through the many mistakes of self inflicted bad haircuts or «self-​dye» episodes Ty always fixes me up! Since I have been going to him for about 17 years, I know and in full confidence refer people to Ty. He keeps up with the trends of hair and not only styles to accent his client’s best features but restores your hair to great health! I call him an «artist» instead of a «stylist» because he has the attention to detail I have never seen in any stylist I’ve gone to before and his passion for making people feel confident and beautiful is eminent.
Ask for Ty when you go to Etheria! You will not regret it! If you have a bad experience I’ll give myself a bad haircut! (Just because I know Ty will fix it for me!)

I previously wrote a review about the wonderful person who cares for my hair when she worked at Beautique. NOW, I am lucky enough to have her working at Etheria. And YES, she is worth it to follow her where ever she may work.
If you read the review about Vikki before, nothing has changed! Honesty. Skill. Addiction to learning new things… all of those characteristics also followed Vikki to Etheria.
If you are looking for a person who not only has skills, but will be honest with you when you request that you look like Jennifer Aniston, then Vikki is the person to go to, and Etheria is the place to find her.
And yes, it is worth it to travel all the way from Memphis to have her cut my hair. There is no one who is as great as she is :-)

I had a deep tissue massage at Etheria that was absolutely amazing by therapist Heith. I didn’t know how much pain I had been walking around with! I just thought that’s how life was. I feel great and have gone back for many more. I even stand up straighter. The ambiance is serene relaxing and upscale. I had to get packages for my mom, sister and niece! They raved about their experiences as well!

My friends and I just spent 3 hours at the spa and had a great time. I can definitely recommend Rebecca (manicure/​pedicures) and Louisa (facial). The spa area and pedicure area is really nice, I don’t think the photos on the website do it justice. Iliana at the front desk was also great in helping arrange our visit. My friends and I are already trying to figure out when we can come back. Great spot, thanks.

I came to Etheria on the recommendation of a friend (whose haircut I love), hoping to find a new stylist for my curly hair. Unfortunately, I had an experience that left me frustrated, not only with my haircut, but with the fact that I ended up paying about $ 80 for service I felt was not up to standard.
When I walked in for my haircut, I was immediately escorted to the washing station. My hair stylist did not even look at my hair dry, which was disturbing considering I was a first-​time client and wanted to discuss my current cut and what I wanted in a new cut. IMO, it’s enormously helpful to touch curly hair when it’s dry to understand the texture and thickness. Mine is on the fine side.
I told the stylist that, in the past, I’ve had people thin out my hair, and it ends up looking scraggly. I explicitly stated that I did not want that. He proceeded to thin it out and «layer» my hair dramatically.
After about 20 minutes in the chair, he asked if I normally diffuse my hair. I do, and told him so. He started to blow it dry into a tangled mess. Not a single curl was defined. After a minute or two, when I saw where it was going, I told him that was not how I do my hair. He asked if I wanted it twisted. I did. He twisted it, left it wet, and sent me on my way.
When I dry my hair, I diffuse it while maintaining the curl and manage to get it relatively dry. I had to go home in the middle of the day and finish drying it myself! The real kicker is: I was charged the full price for a cut and style. I don’t believe I got much of a style, if any.
Needless to say, I’m still looking for a good curly hair stylist.
