Spa at the Lake

We came to Austin for a bachelorette trip and when the weather was not all sunshine, we changed our plans to include Spa At the Lake which ended up being the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. On short notice, they were able to accommodate our group of 6 girls and we all enjoyed our services SO MUCH. I received a facial and it was the best facial I’ve ever had. Although I don’t remember her name, the women who did my facial had worked there for many many years and said the staff was like family. The staff is extremely hospitable and if I lived in Texas, I would be a regular here!!

This is a great location for self care needs. When we arrived, we were greeted with warm and friendly smiles. The receptionist offered several suggestions for us to enjoy lunch near by. We just felt welcomed. The service we experienced were pedicures which were conducted with care and professionalism. Madeline you are AWESOME! Highly recommend this location.

The spa experience was overall nice and my massage therapist was great. However, the prices are insanely expensive and I do not think it was worth it. The only way I think this would be worth it is to make it a day trip. You can go in the morning, use all the spa amenities, have free lunch (the restaurant is fantastic), and have a spa treatment.

My mom went to this place for 7 years and loved it. When I wanted to dye my hair for the first time in grad school, I thought this would be a good place since they advertised balayage. I WAS WRONG. I brought in a picture (attached) and the stylist was like: of course, the color isn’t going to match since you’re base is a little darker, but we can see what we can do. I was lured into a false sense of security. My hint something was wrong should have been the foils they used; I read that balayage was a hand painted technique and this was far from it. I walked out with tiger striped hair (me in the car after appt) that made me look twice as old and a $350 bill. Luckily, this was an easy fix at another salon to get my hair WAY more in line with the look I asked for. Advice to management: if your stylist isn’t comfortable with a technique nor up to date with current trends, do not book an appointment for them.

They got us in at the last minute after another place canceled our appointment four days before our trip after booking it four months in advance. We do this every year for our anniversary regardless of where we’re traveling to and I have to say after all my massages this was the best Massage my husband and I have ever received. I can’t even remember our masseuse‘s name because we were so relaxed I would highly recommend this place

Melissa gave a perfect, relaxing massage that has done wonders for tension I had in my shoulders; Anna gave a wonderful, thorough facial that has me glowing. Amazing day of relaxation and rejuvenation with these two!

I am completely enamored with this Spa! Continually searching for an exceptional masseuse, I have finally discovered Arturo! Managing to secure an appointment with him, I was tremendously pleased with his services. He possesses an innate understanding of precisely where your body requires the most attention. I left there feeling so relaxed! Without a doubt, I have become a loyal customer for life. -D’Ann Godwin
