Small spa with BIG results!! The spa was quiet, cozy, and very relaxing! Escarle has a gentle touch—couple that with state of the art equipment and my results were phenomenal! A little magic from her resurfacing laser and I can continue to lie about my age. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I was impressed by the services Alira Spa gives. The treatments they offer are spectacular , the attention they give to their clients its exceptional and the before and after experience doesnt have words to explain. I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to come acorss Alira Med spa, after going to this spa I feel as a new person, my skin has improved so much, my friends and family tell me what did you do ? I just tell them go to Alira, and you will become secure, beautiful and new. Highly recommended.

Alira Med-Spa and Salon is amazing! I have been there 3 times so far and I am so happy there. My first visit was for a free laser hair removal session and it was a wonderful experience! I was expecting a pressuring sales pitch and there was no sales pitch! I couldnt believe that there were really no strings attached to their offer! This had a big impact on my decision to purchase a laser hair removal package with them. The spa is set up beautifully with a relaxing atmosphere. There is great availability with scheduling appointments and I am always taken in on time when I arrive. Escarle, the owner, has been my technician and she is friendly and professional. She explained the difference between laser machines and I have realized that the machines that were used on me in other spas were far less superior to the one she has. I have seen impressive results even after one session! At my most recent session she touched up other body parts of mine for free! I am so grateful that I have found this place! She goes above and beyond and cares about great customer service.

Great place. Escarle is amazing! I have been a client for several years now. Always looking forward to my regular appointments. Glad I have a chance to introduce my adult children to a proper skin care as well. If you have skin issues or just want to feel and look better and younger, this is the place!

Honestly, one of the most relaxing experiences. Ever. Escarle takes her time on your skin and is so knowledgeable about skin care. Ive suffered with acne (especially now that were all wearing masks all day) and shes really helped so much. The spa is clean and beautifully quaint. The beds are amazing and also heated!!! I was in heaven!! Will continue to return. You must visit!!

This is my fav place in town to get pampered!I have been their customer for at least 6 years and I have never been disappointed. Escarlet is very knowledgeable and keeps my skin in amazing conditions (I always do my facials with her)I buy their monthly package or membership that has a great price and you can do many other treatments like massages! I recommend this place because they offer great quality for a very reasonable price, go try it!

I love this place! When I need to give myself a day to get pampered this is where I prefer to go. Escarlin is amazing. My face glows and feels amazing after she gets done with it.

I’m currently getting the Brazilian and the machine here is sooo much better than the other two places I’ve tried Lazer hair removal at.The staff is always very nice, and will let you sample creams and scrubs.The owner is super nice. And every experience I’ve had here has been excellent.

I have been a client of Alira Spa for over three years now and I wouldn’t change this place for anything else in the world. From the moment you walk in until you finish you feel like in a little cloud. They pamper you and take care of every detail! They are so profesional and always looking for the best and newest products and techniques. I recommend this place to all my friends and if you are reading this don’t hesitate, you won’t regret your decision!Also try to take their monthly plan you can do amazing treatments for a better price.I love Alira Spa, thank you for always making me feel so special!

I have had facials for over 20 years and have been a regular client of Alira for over 7 years. I cannot say enough great things about Escarle and Alira Spa. The customized needs of their customers are top priority. Your service is never rushed and their care for their clients is evident from the minute you walk through the door. I have recommended the spa to many friends, all of who have been very impressed. Recently, I have also added their laser service to my mix and have begun taking my family. From my perspective, there is no place in Houston that compares to Alira! They are simply the best!

Look no further if you want to have the absolute best facial in Houston. I have visited this relaxing retreat with a fabulous personal touch for over a year to get monthly facials with Escarle, and she is without a doubt, one of the best. I have highly sensitive skin, and She has given me free samples to help my skin (great recommendations), provided excellent dry skin treatments and anti-redness treatments, and goes above and beyond each time. She truly cares - she also has an annual event with style and fashion to raise money for breast cancer, gave me a bottle of wine at Christmas and offers a monthly subscription to get monthly facials at a discount. I could not recommend Escarle and Alira Spa more highly - love my monthly membership!!!

I came here recently for a facial, and I was very much pleased with every aspect of the experience. The customer service was top notch from the moment that I entered the facility. Escarle is extremely knowledgeable and full of great energy. She made me feel so beautiful and so happy during my treatment, and I can’t even tell you how amazing my skin looked afterwards. I’ve tried a lot of facials and skincare treatments in my life, and I’ve often felt like it was just a big waste of money afterwards. But not this time - in all honestly, my skin hasn’t had such a flawless glow in years! This was hands-down the best facial I’ve ever had. Thank you so much, Escarle! I will definitely be back soon.

I had a really amazing experience at this wonderful spa today. At first, I had a facial with Jeremiah. Not only was he an artful professional, who worked some magic on my severely impacted pores, he was a kind and generous person. His knowledge of skin treatments, and his range of skills and experience were truly impressive.After the facial, I had a full-body scrub massage with Kelly. She was attentive and sweet, and used perfect pressure, focusing on the areas that I requested (neck, shoulders and arms).I left the spa feeling beautiful, uplifted, and rejuvenated. Its been a few hours, and my sensitive skin has already greatly improved from the treatment. This was only my first time, but I cant wait to get the membership, and keep coming back to try all the other services this amazing place has to offer!

I must start by saying that I am not a spa kind of girl. I never want to spend a lot of money on myself. Spending a day at Alira really made me change my mind! It is a beautiful and relaxing place -- from everything to the music, to the soft robe, to the lovely drinks, to the friendly staff. I had an amazing massage that made me feel so good, I wish I could do one every week! I also had a facial that made my skin glow and feel really healthy.The final bit of pampering came from Jeremiah, who colored and cut my hair. It was one of the best cuts Ive had in years! It looked fabulous! Dont leave the place without having Jeremiah do your hair!Escarle has certainly found the magic combination for success -- a beautiful place, staff who are kind, welcoming, and amazingly talented, and just the right amount of pampering. I will definitely be back!

Stop reading reviews and book an appointment at Alira. They are great at everything they do - I get massages, haircuts, waxing, and facials here. The staff is so welcoming, as is the environment of the spa. Its a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Houston, and the owner really cares about her clients. The perfect spa.

I looove going to Alira, its my little get away when I want to relax! When you arrive, you change into your robe and get comfy in the relaxation room while you wait for your appointment. I go for my facials and massages. I love that when I leave, my skin is not all bumpy and red so Im not embarrassed to go to any stores after my appointment. My skin also looks a lot better now since Ive been going to Alira. I have gotten a lot of helpful tips on how to take care of my skin at home while I wait for my next monthly appointment, which helps in the extraction process!So if your looking to get pampered, Alira is the only spa I recommend and Ive tried quite a couple!

I wasnt sure what to expect from my massage at Alira. Ive had four other deep tissue massages in the last year and have been disappointed each time. This was definitely a different experience! Happily, my massage therapist did not hold back and it was amazing! Add to that, all the other staff there were very friendly, and the spa is calm and quite like an oasis in the city. Ill definitely be going back to Alira!

I received a gift from a friend , 90 mins massage.Marlene - masseuse - was awesome. Attentive to my complaints, kneaded my right shoulder, which always hurts after a tennis match, kept me warm with sheets and towels and blankets. Warm massage oil is a big plus!!Staff is so attentive and friendly. I understand they cater to women mostly, and they are about to open a mens spa as well. I am looking forward to becoming a regular. Cozy, such friendly service, you get a real pampered feeling, and their salon offerings are high quality with friendly and charming smile.

Calling for an appointment was easy, the receptionist on the other end pleasant to speak with. I had to reschedule due to weather conditions. I left a message on the salon voice mail, unfortunately that wasnt checked or relayed because later that morning I got a call from my stylist asking if I was coming in.When I did make my appointment the next day. The salon itself is cute and has a lovely vibe. Before my appointment I was taken to a very peaceful waiting room and given a hand treatment while I waited. This was an unexpected treat.The rest of appointment went as follows: I met with my hairstylist and apologized for having to reschedule my appointment. He made a rather snarky comment about Houston drivers and in general scoffing at my apology and reasons. I am fine with that. I know often stylist are paid per service and my rescheduling cost him time. Also most people from other areas do not get why Houston drivers are so afraid to drive on ice.He then asked how I would like my hair cut. I explained I was having engagement photos the next day and getting married in 3 months. He said he wanted to cut my hair to above the shoulders or it would not look good. I said I understood but I wanted my hair to be a certain length for my wedding. I only wanted a trim and a color. He seemed to agree. He then put color on my hair with a greenish tint. I made a joke about it being green. He then told me he planned to dye my hair green since I missed my last appointment. Ha ha. I explained to him again what happened. He then asked about my day so far, commenting I wasnt chatty. Um... why would I be at this point? Wed actually had word about a tragedy within our friend group earlier that morning and we were all dealing with that too. I explained.My hair was washed and when back in the chair I answered texts from friends regarding the event I had explained to him. At some point he slammed the dryer on his leg and told me to get off my phone and uncross my legs. My legs were not crossed but I apologized for being on my phone. I know if you dont look straight head it can mess up the cut. When he was finished the color looked good, very good in fact. It was cut to my shoulders. More than four inches shorter than we had talked about. He said it just looked that way because he curled it under (turned out to not be true). I nodded, got the bill, tipped reasonably because of karma and got the heck out of there.Later that day I lifted my hair off my face and noticed the sides of my face had brown dye on them. Im pretty sure that is not typical? It would not come off with soap and water. By the next morning there was a rash. Just in time for pictures! Luckily my make-up artist was able to make it look fairly normal.Definitely one of the worst salon treatments Ive ever had. After it happened I had decided not to post this review because I take partial responsibility for this experience. I have noted that above. A friend recently went and was not happy with her stylist but loved her facialist. She said if shes seen my review she would have only booked a facial. I hope my comedic tragedy helps someone else!

I recently had the pleasure of a pampering session at Alira. I highly recommend having a facial with escarle! She handled my problematic skin with incredible skill and care! She was very knowledgable and offered a few suggestions to help me improve my skin quality. I also enjoyed a massage with iveth. It was absolutely perfect! She worked through my tension all the while preserving the relaxing qualities of an expertly executed massage. I love the ambiance of Alira and I enjoy the warm professionalism of the staff. When I travel to Houston, Alira is now on my must-do list!

Im not sure which is better... a deep tissue massage from Alex or a facial from Escarle. (I guess Ill just have to keep getting BOTH until I can decide.)

Re
Review №60

I am a pretty busy guy and dont have a lot of time for self-pampering... but my experience at Alira Spa & Salon has changed that. A client bought me a spa day package as a gift, and I wasnt quite sure what to expect. What a received was an entire day of peace and relaxation that I will remember for a very long time. Just so you know:Jeremiah gives one of the best Deep Tissue massages that I have ever had. (With the perfect amounts of pressure, hot stones, and steaming towels to make every knot melt.)At first I was a bit leery of getting a facial, it seemed a bit girly, but Escarle has my skin glowing and the Clarisonic Brush/Sothys Cleanser she recommended for me has kept it that way.Im not going to go into detail about what I had waxed, but everything was done in a quick, clean, ALMOST painless manner. (And the results look great when Im sporting a Speedo.)This spa has an adorable, friendly, safe atmosphere where you feel more like an old friend than a nervous client. I will DEFINITELY be back!
