The ladies of Skin know how to take care of their customers. I have had several facials and get my brows done there somewhat frequently and I am always pleased. I would agree that the space is like a cozy cottage and the services are excellent. If you are looking for professionals who are responsive to your needs... this is the place for you!! They are kind, courteous, flexible, detail oriented, and well trained professionals. I happened upon their business by chance a couple of years ago and continue to return intentionally because they are the best!

Vera has been doing my nails for three years now and she's great, incredibly meticulous. Recently Denise has started doing my eyebrows, Im very particular about who does my eyebrows but she's great, always leaves the perfect arch! This is a great place, everyone is very friendly and they always have a smile to share!

I had never had a massage in my life until 5 years ago, when I was given a gift to this spa. Since then, I've come back every other week! The ladies here are magnificent. They know and care for each of their clients personally; I can't imagine that larger spas can treat individuals as other than yet another nameless client. In fact, my masseuse and I talk throughout each massage and have become close friends. They work around my busy schedule and are always there when my neck seizes up. I enjoy this small "cottage" atmosphere, and would not go to a larger spa. I have never failed to receive fantastic service, and neither have my relatives or friends that I've sent here. In fact, I always feel very spoiled when I leave. Keep up the good work, ladies!!!

Pros: Personalized service and ambience

I feel like a new woman today.... my face feels soft and fresh, and the massage worked out all my neck , shoulder, and back pain.Thanks agian and I look forward to coming in again and bringing my mom in for your services too.

Cons: Bad traffic on Loop 410....

What a pleasure to do business with a company so very thoughtful and sincere. I could not believe what they did for me. You see, I wanted to buy my sister a gift but I had no way of paying for it on line . So, I called and talk to the owners, I explained I didn't owe a charge card but wanted to buy a gift certificate. So, my sister recieved her gift certificate and the people at Skin.... let me mail them a check from California. I truly am appreciative of their time and long distance phone call. Now, Tell me if that not Great Service and Great people to do business with. Oh! My sister loved all her services.

When the owners of Skin called me to ask me to contribute a review to their website I was delighted to do so. I have been going to Skin for over 6 years. I use all of the services they provide, but go bi-weekly for the great massages I have learned to rely upon. The atmosphere is friendly, and the people there through the years have been great. The facialist there is one of the few I have ever come across that actually goes the extra mile in cleaning and caring for my skin. Every person is different, but I can't imagine that anyone would have a bad experience at Skin. They are great.

Pros: great services, not overly priced

Cons: with consruction at loop 410, traffic can be unpredictable

I recieved a gift certificate for a day at this spa. It was horrible!!! The lady was not friendly when I got there, she just had me wait and wait while she chatted on the phone! I also had to wait forever because the lady who does nails was not even on time!! She messed up on my nails, I had 1 nail that looked 2 different colors!! The pedicure was in NO WAY relaxing!! My facial was creepy in that dark room and she kept messing with a small mole on my face which she thought was a blackhead!! My massage was in no way good! The lady didn't even cut her nails so she'd be scratching me all over the place. As a Massage Therapist Graduate, I know for a fact this was a horrible massage! It was in no way relaxing!! This place is so small I could hear people talking throughout my time I was there. They said it was going to take 2 and a half hours and it took 4!! I will never recommend this place to ANYONE. It was horrible!

We are sorry that you were not pleased with your services. We wish you had brought this to our attention at the time so that we could have corrected any problems you experienced. We have been in business for nearly 7 years and have repeatedly received the "Best of Citysearch" award for best massage, facials and day spa in San Antonio. The massage therapist that worked on you is always highly praised by her clients. Our spa is a small cottage environment, one our clients seems to like as opposed to larger less personal spaces. The facial room is intentionally darkened to add to the atmosphere of relaxation. We apologized at the time.. as the nail tech who did your services was late arriving that day, as she was caught in traffic on 410, as we can all understand. We strive to please every customer, and take it seriously when we fall short. That's why we have been in business at the same location for 7 years, serving the clients who love us and repeatedly vote us #1.

Before I went to Skin the Day Spa, I read all the reviews and decided to take a chance. It was the best decision I could have made. I requested a Marine spa pedicure. The water was just perfect and the mask was a cool mint. Yes, my feet turned blue because the mask is blue. I guess the other person didn't know anything about spa pedicures. I guess in your industry there are people who are never happy. But, I was very happy and hope many people go to your location. I even joined their pedicure of the month program. Again I want to thank you girls for going out of your way to give the best service and quality of workmanship I have ever experienced. May your business grow leaps and bounds.

Pros: Great staff and great service

Cons: parking

Recently, my Mom and I went to Skin for lots of pampering services. We had Body Wraps, Massages, Facials, etc. I'm not a skinny girl and usually feel intimidated by spas, but this place was so wonderful. I had the best time. I told the ladies there that I would write a review for them and haven't had a chance until today. I just want to say that my mom and I had a great day.. great services. My Raw Earth Pedicure was fantastic and my mom had the Marine Spa Pedi and loved it as well. I'm surprised that the last person had anything negative to say, as our experience was the best ever. We plan on going back regularly.

Pros: staff is warm and friendly, services are good and reasonably priced

I am not from San Antonio, but I was here visiting, saw that this place was reviewed so highly, and thought I would give it a try. I got a spa pedicure and was very disappointed. The atmosphere was relaxing, but the service was lacking. My feet were cold in the mud wrap and were almost blue by the end to match the mud. The pedicurist walked in and out of the room leaving me to enjoy the cold mud wrap without spending much time working with my feet. There was no element of massage and she barely even smoothed my calluses. I left feeling like I needed to go find a real pedicure.

Pros: relaxing music and fragrance

Cons: poor service, expensive

We are sorry that you did not get the pedicure you were hoping for, but are glad you enjoyed our peaceful atmosphere and well frangranced products. We sure wish you had mentioned your disappointment at the time of your service so that we could have addressed the problem right then and there and had you leave our spa happy. I'm sorry your feet got cold... perhaps we should have explained that the marine spa pedicure uses an icy hot technology that makes your feet feel both warm and cold at the same time. Regardless, if you had mentioned that you were not satisfied at the time of service, we would have done everything possible to see that your wishes were accomodated.. that's why our service is consistantly rated #1 in San Antonio by our customers.
