PHILOSOPY:

Custom Facials: This highly customized classic facial is created just for you every time. A person's face can have more than one problem area.  We believe in treating all the areas of your face individually.  You may have an oily T-Zone, but your skin is very dry and/or sensitive in other areas.  After a detailed consultation, your aesthetician will help guide you to the perfect choice for restoration, balance, harmony, comfort and purification. We will customize your facial by doing some of the following: use 2 different masque and/or 2 different serums and/or if you are receiving a chemical peel, we may use 2 different chemical peels (1 peel for your acneic area and 1 for your sensitive area) in your treatment.  We want your skin to look and feel wonderful! We have an incredible peel for Rosacea.  We can treat all skin types, including cystic acne.  Our skin care products can treat your skin's uniqueness.  We use the best skin care products with the finest active ingredients. 

Body Treatments: Your skin is as unique as you are and what is ideal for one individual may not be ideal for you. With our special product line and Amber product lines, we'll create a treatment that is perfect for you and your skin type. Our custom body treatments use one or more of the following products.


OUR TEAM:
Our therapists, each with their own area of expertise, have been personally selected for both their healing hands and their calming spirits.

Spa Salute has amazing spa treatments, excellent products, an expert staff, and extremely professional, friendly customer service. Rosie truly goes out of her way to accommodate your individual skin needs and provide useful and relevant information. She took so much time talking to each one of us and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. The absolute best service possible! I highly recommend any facial treatment and massage service. All four of us girls left glowing from head to toe and walking away with tons of product and skin care information. This spa is top notch and extremely budget-friendly! You just can't beat it!

by HeatherCro at Citysearch   Excellent Service!      Posted 06/21/10

I had never been to a spa before, but I wanted to get my skin looking great for my wedding in June. I made an appointment to get a dermaplane along with a facial with Rosie, and she did an amazing job! My skin looked great for my engagements and bridal portraits after my dermaplaning. The airbrush makeup and the makeup I put on myself went on so smooth and silky. Rosie makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable, and she really goes the extra mile for her customers. I am so glad to have found a Spa that really cares about their customers and their needs. I would definitely recommend Spa Salute to any bride wanting to look her best for their wedding day. Even after the wedding, I will be going back to Spa Salute!

My husband and I visited Austin recently for our anniversary. We decided we needed some R & R time and booked an appointment at Spa Salute. We got up early on a Saturday and went it, and we were walking on air by the time we left ! I had the pumpkin pie body wrap, and my husband had the 90 minute stone massage. It was definitely up there on our top 5 of best things we've ever done ! Rosie and her staff made us feel very welcome, they were all wonderful and very professional ! We will definately be a repeat customer, 4 hour drive or not !!

 

by kchabannes at Citysearch     Great spa and great service         Posted 03/18/10

Madalyn was excellent. I've never done sugaring, and was nervous to try it because I have really delicate skin. She talked me through all of it, how it worked, the pros, the cons - she was very honest, forthright

and very easy to talk to. I definitely appreciated that. My eyebrows came out looking excellent, and the sugaring definitely hurts less than waxing! Even though my skin still reacted a bit, it was gone in a day or two. I'd definitely go back. Great price, great atmosphere, great people working there. Thanks!

Great Experience ! ;)                                                     Posted 08/14/2008 by 6701671
I went to get my Brazilian and the whole experience was very fulfilling. It was my first time and Rosie did a great job. She is very professional. She never did rush me at any point. If it your first time I would recommend Rosie any day. The place is very clean and she is a great lady to work with !!

 Best Facials and Customer Service!                             Posted 08/13/2008 by 6699731
I have only been to one other spa in my life. Not being completely satisfied with the previous, I decided to try Spa Salute because of the many great reviews about facials. I am so glad to have found this place! Rosie is highly knowledgeable in her profession. I came in not knowing much about my own skin, not sure where to start. Rosie was very thorough in analyzing and suggesting the right treatments for my skin. Being my first time receiving a chemical peel, Rosie made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I have never seen my skin glow and look so healthy. Furthermore, Rosie never pushes to buy her products, nor does she suggest ten different products all at once. She only recommends what will benefit your skin the most. Rosie truly cares about her customers and making sure they walk out happy. I am definitely coming back!!!

Feel like a million bucks ;)                                       Posted 08/05/2008 by 6656401
i love spa salute. i initially came in with help with my acne. after one semester, my face cleared up and i've received compliments ever since. rosie helps me achieve astonishing results. rosie is wonderful. she's nothing like other estheticians; not only is she certified, but her credibility comes with her background in chemistry from rice university, and certified MEDICAL esthetician. since day one, she's worked with me to improve my skin and achieve great results. she works with you holistically. as a student, i am budget conscious, and rosie understands that; she makes her recommendations (including buying retail products, not just hers) that work with me economically. and she works with my existing products advising what i can continue to use to keep with my budget. she never pressures me into buying any of her products, but after a trial, i keep coming back to buy more because of the results. most importantly, i trust rosie because after a thorough examination, she recommends products specific for my skin, making the experience personalized. if anything, call for a free consultation. there's no harm. and you won't regret it.
Pros: great value, students receive a 10% discount off products
Cons: rosie doesn't work everyday, so schedule an appointment!

Best Brazilians, Facials & Service ;)                        Posted 06/20/2008 by 6411211
I just left Spa Salute. I found it thru citysearch & thank God I did! The staff was professional. I look great with my clean canvas, now I won't worry about razor bumps when I have on my bathing suit. I've been shaving for 10 years now & decided I wanted a Brazilian. I went to a spa about a month ago and the Brazilian was terrible. She did it in 30 minutes with "HOT" was and it painful. The hairs grew back in a week. I think it was because she just applied it in big patches and then "ripped". The lady that did my sugar brazilian at Spa Salute explained you need to remove the hair from the follicle & mine were probably ripped from the top that's why they grew back so quickly. This experience was the complete opposite! I had wine to relax me then she started; she took her time & I'm smooth as silk now. I also did a new "Hydrating Facial with a lightening serum" for my sun damage and tight skin. I can't believe how "plump" my skin is. It's dewey and shiney. I bought the skin products because they felt & smelt great & I trust her recommendations. I'll be going back to Spa Salute. Also, I want to comment even though it's hot outside it was nice to lay in a heated bed when I was getting my facial. The lights off & candles lit in the room were a nice touch and the music was VERY soothing. I fell asleep during my mask and massage. THANK you very much! I'm trying a massage next. I saw 2 people come out from getting a massage and they looked so relaxed. One person said she felt drunk & needed to sit down because she was so relaxed. And she said she didn't have anything to drink but water. Also, I'm getting married next year & I am having the "ladies day" party at Spa Salute.
Pros: Professional staff, beautiful spa & relaxing rooms!
Cons: Very professional!

I recently got a brazilian wax with Rosie after having a horrible experience at another place. She used sugar which was not as messy and sticky and she made sure that I was as comfortable as I could be. she was very patient with me and knew exactly what she was doing. I wasn't even in pain afterward. I would definitely recommend Rosie for a brazilian especially if it's your first time. It is pricey but it's not much more than any other spa would charge. You might as well pay extra for a better experience. I will surely be going back. Also, she gave my husband a facial and he even says that it's the best facial he's ever had. I will be going to get one as well pretty soon. She's very smart and knows what works.
Pros: Knowledge and experience
Cons: A little pricey

Fabulous facials! ;)                                                      Posted 05/17/2008 by 6230361
I had always had young-looking and healthy skin, but after having twins, I was faced with skin that looked much older, dehydrated and hyperpigmented. Rosie did an excellent job of anaylyzing my skin and treating it. The results are fabulous! I have had several facials at Spa Salute, each of which has been great, and I have been using products recommended by Rosie. My skin now has a healthy glow, the texture is much smoother, and my hyperpigmentation is resolved. One thing I really appreciate about Spa Salute is that they don't "push" products on you. And, if you do ask about products, Rosie is very educated about why you should or shouldn't use a particular one. I highly recommend Spa Salute!
Pros: great facials, knowledgeable staff, nice ambience and clean
Cons: a little hard to find the first time

Best Luxary Spa Day EVER! !                                  Posted 05/17/2008 by 6228451
Okay, when I walked in everyone was attentive. My husband bought me a gift certificate & when I asked how he found this spa he said through citysearch. He's bought me certificates in the past & I have been disappointed at previous spa's, so I was surprised he gave me a spa day as a mother's day gift. I've tried several places in Austin, but this place takes the cake!!! I had the most amazing facial, 90 min. Sports massage, body wrap & paraffin pedicure (I forget the names of each one). I've traveled on cruises and I have to say it was the BEST facial and massage I ever had!! The pedicure was nice too. I did notice they use an Autoclave to sterilize the tools. I work in the ER at Seton so I knew it when I saw the pouches. Made me feel safe that I will not get an infection in my toes. I'll be going back!! One lady while I was waiting was telling me how she had 3 Ultimate microderms & she has no more sun damage. That's what I'll do next time. When the facial lady showed me my skin I couldn't believe the sun damage or how dehydrated my skin was. She showed me my skin after the facial and it definitely looked better. Everyone at the spa having services had great things to say about Spa Salute. It was very clean and decorated nicely. My husband did GREAT this time!! Thanks hubby & Spa Salute staff. I will tell everyone I know about this hidden jewel!
Pros: Great skincare products & services are reasonable!
Cons: not open on Sunday

Healthy Glowing Skin Experience ;)                            Posted 03/09/2008 by 5848251
I experienced incredible and immediate results at Spa Salute. I went for a facial, microdermabrasion, and massage. Personally, my face really needed care (a makeover), and Rosie attentively addressed my dry, blotchy, sunexposed, mature skin(49 yrs) concerns. The entire facial session was exilerating yet relaxing, the massage included with the facial --extremely pampering and eased my stress and tension. The plush robe, slippers, and scents provided by the spa are uplifting, energizing and pampering when you're really need that special touch. After the facial session, and treatment my skin texture actually FELT and LOOKED10 years younger. I was impressed, excited almost speechless. The massage was next, with Cynthia. Her deep tissue massage technique is exceptional; she smooth out deep embedded muscle tension. After the massage, I felt relaxed and (Last night was the frist recooperative sleep I had in weeks). Before leaving, I made sure to set my next DAY for Me appointment. I am so pleased with the facial and massage therapy services and products. FYI-This morning is the first in many many years, that my foundation just literally glided over my face.. My skin is glowin, has a younger supple appearance and TEXTURE. Thank you Rosie; I look forward to our future visits and my healthy glowing skin. Highly recommended Spa Salute for Great Services, atmosphere, staff, and mostly for the personal touch.
Pros: Incredible Service, Ambience, Personal Touch

Relaxing!!                                                                  Posted 11/10/2007 by 5291578
I'm one of the women who went with Tara (see other review) and I completely agree with her. We were pampered, humored (we have weird, somewhat crass, senses of humor), and well taken care of. Rosie was meticulous with our bills, too. I had tipped the employee who gave me my facial so Rosie made sure to take that amount off of my bill. She wrote down follow-up regimens for us and was extremely patient. I had a wonderful time with my Gnomies!

Best atmosphere and individualized services ;)              Posted 11/10/2007 by 5454969
Some friends and I went to Spa Salute as part of a girls' weekend getaway. Rosie was able to coordinate various and numerous services for 4 women. Customer service was excellent. The service was individualized and she made an extra effort to make sure we were happy. The facial, massage, and pedicure were top-notch. I have had multiple spa services in several different states. I highly recommend this spa, especially for a fun girls' trip. The atmosphere with the staff was very relaxed and they handled this group of joie de viv-re chicks with panache.
Pros: service, ambience, staff
Cons: one staff member arrived late

Best Facials in Austin! ;)                                          Posted 10/09/2007 by 5420281
I read some of the positive reviews about Spa Salute's facials here and gave it a try this afternoon. Rosie really is the best! The facial (with a bonus arm and hand massage) was great. She shows you your skin under a special light so you can see where your damage is and what you need to work on most. And she set me up with a daily regiment specific to my skin needs. I'll be going back to her forever...

Great massage !!!                                                    Posted 10/01/2007 by 5259494
I had a great and calming experience at Spa Salute' it is small but very intimate and calming atmosphere. The only regret was that i didn't have a longer massage. They also give discounts to people who work in the heath care field!! nice!!
Pros: Prices
Cons: Hours

Wonderful Facial!                                                  Posted 09/19/2007 by 1185937
Just like all the others on here, I loved my facial with Rosie! She was incredibly knowledgeable about my skin type and recommended that I steer clear of certain ingredients in facial products. She also recommended some products to me, but there was absolutely no pressure to buy any. The hot towel wraps on my feet were devine, and I was quite sad when my time came to an end! Thanks!

Very relaxing! ;)                                                   Posted 09/18/2007 by 4921766
I surprised my boyfriend with a trip to Spa Salute for our anniversary. This was his first professional massage, and he opted to get the deep tissue treatment as well and loved it! I got a swedish massage, which was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend going to Spa Salute for a great spa experience!
Pros: Discount for students and employees at certain companies

Wonderful experience!!                                         Posted 09/04/2007 by 5239110
I surprised my wife with a Day at Spa Salute b/c I was out of town on our anniversary. I picked Spa Salute after reading the reviews on this site. Rosie (the owner) made several suggestions to make it even more special and gave me more credit than I deserved. She threw in pick-up of flowers and lunch (she had me pick the restaurant and menu). She remembered specific things from our phone conversation to tell my wife. My wife had very little experience, but she felt overwhelmed and spoiled. She went home and wrote a 3 page account of the experience to share with her friends! The price seemed very reasonable based on my research and the service exceeded our expectations. Thank You, Rosie.
Pros: Service: my wife felt like the staff were all there to serve her. Great value.
Cons: Parking was full; don't know if that happens a lot.

Best Spa in Austin for the price and service    Posted on 07/28/2007

Spa Salute has the friendliest staff and they are very in tune to your needs. The atmosphere is very relaxing. it has a down to the earth atmosphere. They make you feel like one of the family and not like they are just seeing dollar signs when you walk in the door. They explaining everything to you and you never walk out of there feeling like you just got pushed into buying something you do not need. If you buy a product...that means that you need it and it will work on you, but do not take my word for it.....GO SEE FOR YOURSELF!!!!! My skin use to be very clogged and I had so many breakouts and now my skin is so much nicer. I get the Ultimate Salute facial, which I love. I've gotten Chocolate body wrap & pedicure and sports massages and I'm always relaxed when I leave and don't feel guilty about spending money on myself.

Wonderful Friday Facial            Posted on 07/27/2007

I visited Spa Salute for the first time 2 wks ago and am now a client for life. I had a facial done by Rosie and I must say that it was the best facial I have ever received. She is very thorough and knowledgeable in her esthetic field which I noticed right away. I am a dental hygienist and okay will say - I am pretty critical of anyone who may work on me just because I know the behind the scenes clinical and aseptic techniques that should be carried out. Well, Rosie followed them all. Combined with her great personality and informative feedback, you leave Spa Salute learning things about your skin and products you use on your skin in a totally different light. My facial was a custom facial where Rosie put together what was best for my skin type and situation. She explained what she was using and what it was used for - love that! I truly felt pampered and well taken care of while at Spa Salute. I highly recommend Spa Salute for those that are ready for a change from the run of the mill spas out there with the same routine for everybody. Wouldn't you want something catered to your particular skin type or skin needs? Who wouldn't... Thanks so much! ~Farrah

World Class Spa Treatment       Posted on 06/25/2007

I recently had a day of complete pampering at Spa Salute. I had a spa pedicure with a parrafin wax, then a 2 hour deep tissue massage by Cynthia. She has a really elequant massage technique with the strength to relieve the tension of an athlete. Then I had an ultimate facial by Rosie the owner of Spa Salute. The services provided by all the staff and the atmosphere of the spa are a true reflection of going above and beyond for the customer. If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for!

Saluté to the rescue!

Posted on 05/18/2007

Let me just start by saying that ever since I was a teenager I have suffered with acne, rosacea & dry skin. Over the past seven years, I have been trying to find a doctor or spa that could help me with my conditions. Well I look no further - Spa Saluté has definitely come to my rescue! The amazing staff at Spa Saluté has helped me figure out which products & facials are best for my skin. My acne & dry skin are gone & this is the first place that I have been to that actually has products which control my rosacea. I would definitely recommend Spa Saluté to anyone who is in need of some TLC for their skin.

Best Facials EVER!!!    Posted on 05/16/2007

Rosie is really the best facial I have ever had. I have been going to her for almost a year and will continue to go as long as I am in Austin. She really helps you understand how to take care of your skin and does not push products, however, she is very helpful if you ask for suggestions. Rosie also has the best personality and is easy to talk to. She makes you feel comfortable and thus makes the experience more relaxing. I highly recommend Rosie to anyone looking for better skin!

I went to Spa Salute through a reference of one of my close girlfriends and have done nothing but want to tell more people about the great services that Rosie and her salon offers!

The salon also pays special attention to details and adds in relaxing massages during the procedure = so relaxing!

 Awesome Facials and Massages!!    Posted on 04/28/2007

I've visited the Spa Salute' several times now. I have received a sports deep tissue massage by Kim and she is great! She knows how to work out those specific areas that hurt the most. I have also received a swedish deep tissue from Cynthia and she is just amazing!!! It feels as if there's two people massaging you at once. She really makes you relax and makes you fall asleep and not want to leave the spa. Then, I just recently received the Ultimate Facial from Rosie ( the Owner of Spa Salute'). From cleansing, to mask, to putting you under the light and consulting you about your skin, is a wonderful experience. A couple of months ago, I went to Orgins to get a facial and to buy products for my face and I have still not received any results, and come to find out, the products they recommended were completely wrong for my skin type and were causing my problem areas to keep breaking out. Thanks to Rosie coming to my rescue, she really did a number on my skin and it looks a lot better now. Furthermore, I highly recommend that you visit Spa Salute' for a wonderful relaxing day of being pampered. I can't wait till my next appointment!

Pro: Beautiful Spa

 My Skin Looks AWESOME!    Posted on 04/23/2007

I have been visiting Spa Salute for 8 months now and my skin has NEVER looked so healthy. I've always had issues with my skin but since going to Rosie at Spa Salute, my skin has improved so much. She is so knowledgeable about the skin and she shares her knowledge with you. The advice she gives I take home with me and it helps me take better care of my skin. The environment and other professional therapists always make me feel so nice every single time I walk in. The spa is quiet, serene and welcoming- so different than other places that are loud and obnoxious! The prices, cleanliness and the marvelous experiences that I have had -keep me coming back. I don't even think about going anywhere else. Thank you so much Rosie and staff for helping me feel so good about myself. Best to you all!

Pampering Perfectionists     Posted on 03/30/2007

I've been to Spa Salute four times now, for massage, facial, body treatment, and waxing/sugaring. I have to say that it is one of the best spas I've encountered in the world (and I've traveled!) The treatments are relaxing, with little "extras" like hot towels and scalp massages. And Rosie is an expert on skin issues. She won't do something that will irritate your skin, or be worthless---even if it is an upsell. Great location. Easy parking. Great pricing (and discounts for employees of major local companies!) She also gives samples for products, but doesn't push sales of those products (which can be so annoying at other spas and salons). I'm recommending this spa to everyone I know. (And can't wait to go back for another treatment!) Go let yourself be pampered!

Pro: Make you feel like a Queen (or a King!)
Con: In an office building, so slightly lower on ambiance (who cares when you're on the table!)

Best deep tissue massage (ask for Linda)    Posted on 03/01/2007

Spa Salute is a little difficult to find (ground floor of an office building), but it is a clean, quiet, friendly, relaxing experience. The staff is extremely attentive and very skilled in their craft. They helped me rehab from doing two half marathons in a 14 day span, but I would recommend them for anything from a thoughtful gift to a way to unwind from a hectic week. I have lived in five cities in four states, and this is quite possibly the best value per dollar of any treatments I have ever had.

Pro: Service, flexibility of scheduling (they'll schedule you on Sunday or Monday if that is what works best for you), variety of services, Dell/IBM/other select employee discounts
Con: A little difficult to find. Be sure to ask for directions if you don't know the area extremely well

Most Fabulous Facials & Pumpkin Body Wrap in Austin!!!   Posted on 01/24/2007

I wanted my pores to look smaller and my skin to glow. I heard of Spa Salute' from a California friend who said she had the best facial at Spa Salute (an she's REALLY a perfectionist). I thought, if she loved it, I have to go there for a facial & a body wrap. Well, I went & it was amazing! The beds in both the rooms were warm & the ambiance was relaxing. I received a nice massage during my facial. I did the Pumpkin Peel Body Wrap, but the spa has a big selection of wrap services. It was nice. I didn't have to get up & go to the shower, she used nice hot towels to remove everything. I almost felt like a baby.....it was so pleasant. I bought facial products I've been using for about a month now & my skin looks great! My pores are smaller thanks to the Mediterrean Mud mask and Jojoba Cleanser and my skin is glowing! I'll recommend this Spa to any woman or man who wants to be pampered, loves privacy and wants to feel like you're getting more than what you're paying for.

Pro: Beautiful, Private & Clean. Provide Wine before my service, which made me relax.
Con: None.

I had a massage and facial, and they were both fabulous! The atmosphere is friendly, warm, and private. The massage relieved all of my stress and left me feeling wonderful. During my facial, conversation was appropriate and pleasant, and I learned quite a bit about my face and skin. I truly look 5 years younger after the peel and mask (and I'm not yet 30)! I highly recommend Spa Salute!

 Best Deep Tissue Sports Massage & Microderm with Chemical Peel Service!!!!  Posted on 10/16/2006

My Fiance' and I are getting ready for our wedding and it's stressful!!! We went to Spa Salute' for two deep tissue sports massages for 1/1-2 hours each. It was the best massage either of us ever had! The therapists are very knowledgeable and have amazingly strong hands!!! We both also received a Microderm with a chemical peel. The lady that did the facials was very informative! We both received a custom microderm and needed 2 different peels on in different areas of our faces. It was very relaxing during the service and didn't seem clinical at all! She showed both of us our skin under a purple light and we could see deep in our skin - which was such an "eye opener". My dermatologist has never done that. We were very pleased with their efforts to make us as comfortable and relaxed as possible. A week later, I went back and had a product consult....I brought in all the skin care products I had a home and for a "small" fee and an hour later I know the PH balance of each product and understood the ingrediants of each product. She even wrote everything down for me to take home and showed me how to incorporate mix different name products into my daily regimen for the seasons. She didn't push products on me, just made recommendations and gave me samples, which I love!!!!! I'll always go to Spa Salute' and hopefully, for our wedding gifts we'll receive gift certificates. The spa keeps a wish list so, if our guest call they know what we want. Great idea.

Pro: Great specials for IBM employees all year long! Beautiful, relaxing & VERY affordable!
Con: In office building - was expecting to be in shopping area

 Very serene. Decorated beautifully & smells wonderful.   Posted on 09/05/2006

I'm 32 - never had a hot rock massage and it was amazing. I have never experienced anything like it. The hot stones made my body relax, especially when she massage my sore muscles with them. Now, I've had plenty of facials in my life, but not the kind offered at the Spa - The Salute layered facial. My skin felt amazing. The had never had a chocolate service, but I did get a great chocolate pedicure. After I was done at the spa, I went to the store and bought a box of chocolate to complete my "craving". You won't regret doing your services at this Spa!!!
Pro: Candles, heated beds and aromatherapy were a nice touch and it wasn't additional!

 Beautiful Rooms, Wonderful Service, Best Value     Posted on 07/12/2006

I searched at least a dozen spa's in the Austin area and none met my expectation like Spa Salute. I was searching for a great place for my anniversary and this was it. We didn't want just a massage, we wanted a customized package with recommendations from a professional. The Hot Volcanic Stone Massage was exquisite, the European Facial and Seaweed wrap were fantastic. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Rosie and your wonderful service!
Pro: Soft music, Ralaxing Atmosphere, Great Price
Con: No complaints, the day was perfect!

 Great place for a Party!!! Had a Bridal Spa Day with Wine, Facials, Hot Rock Massage & Pedicures!      Posted on 07/12/2006

The spa is beautiful! I won't ever go back to Woodhouse Day Spa or Salon 505 now that I've found Spa Salute. The staff at Spa Salute gave us the best service & we drank plenty of complimentary wine. I was the Maid of Honor in charge of coordinating a bridal/bachlorette spa day for 8 women. We all had 3 different services. Some of us had 1 hour hot rock or 1 hour Swedish massage and all of us had a European facial and we all had pedicures with paraffin dip and eyebrow waxing services. We brought our own food for lunch and basically had the place to ourselves. All the ladies looked great and were relaxed. We had a great time! The bride loved it so much her parents ended up buying her and the groom a custom couples package. They have only candles lit when doing the massages and facials (except for the light on the machine when it came time to do "extractions"), which put some of us to sleep! I have to admit, the day exceeded my expectation!!! The Spa is really a one-stop place for beauty! Some of us bought our favorite skincare products (SkinCeuticals and Dermalogica). The spa has it's own skincare line. Two of the ladies bought the Spa Salute skin care line and there skin is looking better already. THANK YOU Spa Salute for giving us a day we will always remember and discuss in future stories! I'll be a repeat customer as long as I live in Austin. I'm going back for Botox & Diamond Microderm Facial Treatment with a chemical peel.
Pro: Reminded me of Italy! Great Customer Service & Great Pricing!

I have always had acne problems with my face, never knowing what type of cleaners, toners or masks to use. I have very sensitive skin in some areas and I've never been able to maintain clean and healthy skin....until I met Rosie at Spa Salute. Not only did she help me get on the right track with great products but also gave me incredible knowledge on how to take care of my skin. My skin has never looked this good for this long. She has all the answers you will need when it comes to skin care. I highly recommend Rosie and her staff at Spa Salute!!!!!

 It's Paradise!!!    Posted on 02/21/2006

My husband and I bought a Valentine's package at Spa Salute. The staff was very welcoming and professional. They gave us great recommendations on skin care and various treatments. I was very impressed with their many different chemical peels and masks. We left feeling and looking years younger. I highly recommend Spa Salute to everyone in town.
