I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and overall she enjoyed the experience. There were a few things that made me give this review 3 stars. They said lunch included. Chose salad over sandwhich options which were all bland and terrible. You would think there would be better food considering how expensive this place is($600+). She was there 6 hrs.

She says her arms Are a bit bruised from the massage to if youre tender skinned be aware. She really enjoyed the private balcony and it was peaceful. A day after i recieved a extra $100+ gratuity charge, which i never authorized. The first Time i called i was told that my girlfriend had given authorization for $100+ tip which i found out was false after confirming with her.

Finally after another call i was able to reach an employee who would reach the spa and get them to issue a refund. Like i said overall she enjoyed the experience but extremely pricey then trying to charge +$100+ on top is extremely inconvienent

Today I had the best deep tissue massage ever! I booked my appointment this weekend (a few days prior) with Heather. The booking process was simple and easy. When i arrived i was promptly greeted and taken back to the lounge where I waited. Not long after, Heather arrived and showed me where to go. She was super sweet and immediately made me comfortable and relaxed (and that takes a lot this week as I am right in the middle of packing and moving.eek).

I could feel all my tension and worries melting away. It was amazing! I had a gift card that I used for the massage and needed to spend it all before leaving town. Isabel (up front) was extremely helpful in assisting me in picking out some goodies up front. She went through each wall and showed me all the faves. If I was staying in TX this would for sure be my new spa of choice! Go check them out. I promise you will not regret it!

My daughter surprised me with a spa package for Christmas and I couldn't have asked for a better gift. Be sure to call in advance to schedule your services if you are so lucky to receive a gift from here. The staff was all so nice, the ambiance was lovely and soothing and the lunch provided was perfect. They provided refreshing flavored water, hot tea, or wine if you prefer.

As well as yummy chocolates. And let me tell you, I had the BEST pedicure here! I also made sure to book another massage before I left for the day and look forward to being back! The only thing that raised an eyebrow was when I was scheduled for my next massage I got a call from Viva to fill out forms that I had previously filled out from my first visit because they didn't have my info in their system. I'm sure it may have been a small oversite but considering I was there all day on my first visit I wouldn't have expected that.

Cool spot on 35th - we grabbed a couples massage on Memorial Day weekend, little birthday present. The spa was cool, great remodeling, relaxing zen environment with convenient parking in the back. Walk in to entry way, staff was welcoming, and they have a number of different products available (little store) for purchase, skin care, lotions, shampoos etc.

We chilled in the relaxing room for about 5 minutes until we were brought back for our massages. The ambiance in the conjoined couples massage room(s) was comfortable, cool and relaxing. Overall I was a bit disappointed with the massage, especially for the price. I've had ~300 massages and have found that an excellent masseuse is able to sync with their clients body (through touch, communication and energy) and effectively customize the massage technique selected with the body needs, resulting in deep breaths and the release of bad energy and stress. I'd describe this massage as generic. Realignment, relaxation and stress reduction was an overall miss.

The first time I came to Viva for Dysport I didn't love the results but decided to try them again and I got so lucky with Leah for a technician! My results are best I've got in a decade - she reminded me that injectables are an art. She didn't just reduce the wrinkles, she brightened my face up with just the right amount of lift below the brow. Her experience is impressive, and it shows. I'll be booking with her from now on! Thank you, Leah!

My siblings got me the Viva Vital Ultimate Facial as my birthday present and I finally got to use the certificate! I'm at the Domain all the time, but never made it into Viva for any services. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to try it because I will definitely be back for more facials! This facial is 90 minutes of pure bliss and pampering -- I fell asleep during my facial massage because it was just so relaxing.

I LOVED my experience at Viva Day Spa! The staff is super friendly and the place itself is decorated very upscale /chic. I went in for Botox and will be returning again! I'll definitely be trying out their other services in the future as well. I didn't take any pictures, but I did make a video of my experience so I'll attach some screenshots of that!

Meagan is amazing at what she does! She is the only person I trust with my face for Botox and Fillers. She is also an incredibly educated PA and really took her time answering all my questions! Also, Viva Day Spa + Med Spa's overall experience is unlike any other. It is a much more calm and relaxing experience than other places I have gone in town. It's truly my favorite place to go for all things face and body!

Purchased a Mani/Pedi gift certificate for my mom to be able to relax and treat herself. Needless to say, it was not a relaxing experience. The Mani/Pedi took over 3 1/2 hours to do! It started off with an explanation of an employee calling In, which left them understaffed and made my mom wait for over an hr before finally getting called back. I should've gotten her a mani/pedi from an actual nail salon that has more than 2 nail technicians on staff.

My fault. For waiting so long they offered my mom a complimentary enhancement which the front staff tried to charge her for and were rude about it. In addition to the already crappy experience, in the end, the front desk staff also tried to make her pay for gratuity even though the certificate I purchased already had gratuity included. The lady at the counter tried to argue that it didn't but my mom reminded her of where she had placed the certificate and was able to confirm that it was indeed included. Disappointing service and rude staff. Won't be going here ever again and definitely do not recommend this place to anyone. You would think for what you pay for, there wouldn't be so much hassle and rude customer service.

Today was my first ever visit to Viva Day Spa, my husband gave me a gift certificate as a V-day present since self-care is exactly what I need. I booked a custom facial and boy was I lucky to have Courtney Rae take care of me! Courtney Rae is so incredibly warm and kind, from the moment she walks in the room. Her energy and positivity is infectious.

My facial was amazing, she took the time to make sure my skin got everything it needed and more. She walked me through all the steps and recommended products for an at-home skin care routine. My skin feels cleaner and healthier than it has in a very long time. I look forward to going back for regular facials at Viva with Courtney Rae!

This place would get 5 stars if all their massage therapists were as good as Vanessa B. I received a gift card here and finally started using it. I always request a sports massage, which should be a little intense to work out the muscles. But today was the first time I feel like I actually got a good sports massage (The other times, I've actually fallen asleep). If you want a good massage and really have those knots worked out, ask for Vanessa B.

Viva Day Spa is a great spa with a lot of services to choose from. They're in a good location at the domain, with the nearest parking garage being very close. I love the interior decorating and good energy there. I'm docking one star, as the laser hair removal services I got here never worked. I got a total of 8 sessions done (granted, there was a break in there due to covid) and really can't tell a single difference on my bikini line, save for a couple of tiny 1/4 inch spots that get less hair.

I wasn't warned before buying their laser hair removal package that the odds of it working on my blonde hair/ light skin combo probably weren't very good, so I do feel a bit like they should have educated me on that before taking my money. However, all the technicians I worked with were really nice and I don't have any complaints in that aspect. I'm sure for someone with darker hair, this service would be great. I remember at the time that their laser package was one of the more economical ones out there. I'd go back for a different service in the future.

I've been going off and on from viva for over a year. Morgan is an amazing esthetician and beautiful personality. Hyrdafacial is always amazing. Yesterday I came back for a massage after trying other places in the area. My massage was okay, I felt more pressured in buying the products and for me to try cbd products from a store in Austin. I'm use to getting the head massage and I felt it was all rush add on to my series of 70mins.

If I'm spending over 200 for a massage personally I don't want to be bothered with product names and stuff to try. And was just an off vibe, maybe he is new but I just didn't feel comfortable. When I walked in thru the front I used the restroom and no one asked me if I wanted a drink. Like they did to the people who were coming in next to me.

I came here for a manicure because my hands needed much TLC. My normal nail place did not have anything available today and I also had some money left on a gift certificate to Viva Day Spa. It was super easy to book online and schedule with Sharon. Currently, mask are mandatory and if you are without a mask they do have some at the front desk. Honestly not as relaxing with a mask on but that is no fault of the spa.

There are tons of colors to pick from so after I checked in I was able to pick a color. I was a little early so I had to wait 5-10 minutes before being taken back. Overall, Sharon did an excellent job. She was pleasant and detailed oriented. I didn't realize until after I got to my car but I was supposed to get a hand hydration treatment since I did a Yelp check-in.

Not sure if the front desk let her know but they were also not familiar with the yelp check-in offer. I did ask to pay before getting my nails painted because nothing is worse than getting your nails done and they get smudged getting stuff out of your purse. No issues there but I should have maybe done that when I first showed up. Parking is in the red garage is recommended. Street parking was pretty limited and typically used for to-go orders and or limited to an hour.

Amy has the magic touch! She is highly skilled at deep tissue. I didn't want the massage to end. Highly recommend! I just re-booked with her and already looking forward to it. :-

I go here for my Botox and fillers, but they provide a ton of services. Easy to park in the red garage and go. You can bank your Botox units and buy packages. Both girls were great especially Megan. They offered green tea while I waited. There's a whole spa on the other side that I have yet to try. This place is filled with products and fun spa skin care and gifts. They make you feel comfortable and are easy to book and rearrange with 24 he notice. High spa with out feeling pretentious.

Had a 60min yesterday and was so disappointed. Booked an hour and got 45 mins maybe 50 mins Masseuse kept taking odd pauses while rubbing Noisy room (sounded like vacuum was being passed in the room next door) Oil wasn't even warmed up No concentration on pressure points Felt like I was being lathered in oil, not massaged. Seemed like an amateur Don't waste your $$ Not going back

I had a amazing manicure by Carin M., she was able to get my prior gel polish off while being careful with my nails. I had some questions about the difference of gel and other types of polish, she was super friendly and helpful. We were talking and laughing the whole time I was getting my nails done. I had a blast, first time getting my nails done there too.

Usually I just go for massages, but I'm so happy I came for a manicure today and here! I'll be back for sure! I'm going to recommend Carin to my friends/family too.

Talk about luxury. Inside me the day spot feels like it's own little world and you forget that you are on one of the busiest streets in the domain. I'm going to say this was one of the very first times I truly felt pampered and not out of place. This is absolutely a splurge and The ultimate gift for whoever you deem worthy in your life LOL.

I had laser hair removal and a hydrofacial by Jamie. Let me just say, she is amazing! She really knows her stuff. I have mild redness on my cheeks and nose. After my facial my skin was glowing and the redness was very subtle. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!

My therapist was nice and she did a good job. The first half hour of my massage I couldn't really get into the relaxed mindset and escape (the whole reason why I booked this). I guess the room I was in was right next to the break room and I could literally hear the staff conversations. From the get go my therapist acknowledged that they were kind of loud. 20 min into it she knocks on the wall to signal them to lower their voice and half way through the massage where she flips me I asked her kindly if she could go in there and tell them to lower their voices.

After that I finally started to get lost in the massage and enjoy it. I mentioned this to the front desk and they apologized. I wanted to rebook but thought better of it as my experience wasn't the most relaxing one. To the therapist that has a friend out there that finally got her first boyfriend and first kiss I hope everything works out for her!

I've been getting facials with Bailey for several months now and my skin has never looked or felt better! She's kind, professional and great at what she does. I've never been comfortable going out without makeup, but lately I've been able to show my real skin with confidence. The front desk staff is also always very nice and helpful. Overall great experience.

I frequently visit Viva Day Spa for nail services with Alex. I started coming to Viva spa last year during the height of the Covid pandemic. I selected this spa based on their cleanliness and dedication to social distancing practices. I had no clue I would find Alex. She is amazing. She always takes her time to make sure all services are completed to perfection and offers her recommendations for healthy nails. She is truly an expert. Her conversations are engaging and she is funny. Alex clearly loves what she does and it shows. I couldn't imagine ever going anywhere else.

I highly recommend seeing John for any deep tissue or sports massage. He's very knowledgeable, not only with massage, but with gym workouts and the way certain movements effect form and function. I had a bad spill in the gym a few weeks back and after explaining what happened to him, we did an assessment and he was able to work out the knots and release a lot of tension that formed after the injury. I take my health and fitness seriously and I'm so glad I found someone who is so knowledgeable that can help keep me going hard in the gym!

Wow I am absolutely floored with the customer service this establishment has, it is wonderful. I received a 90 minute hot rock massage from Mathew and loved every bit of it. Being a mom one gets so caught up with everything else that we forget to take care of ourselves. I am happy to say that I feel like a new relaxed women! I will definitely be returning and buying massages for the family during Christmas time! Also facility is very clean and following regulations.

This was my third visit at Viva Day Spa. I received the DIVA package with a massage, facial, mani/pedi, sauna and lunch. My massage therapist was Matthew, esthetician was Nicole and nail technician was EJ. Matthew really worked his magic! Nicole provided an amazing facial while being careful with my eyebrow ring because I couldn't remove it. EJ provided the perfect mani/pedi. If you want the best service with professional people then Viva Day Spa is your spa. Thank you all for making my birthday celebration special and memorable!

Thoroughly enjoyed my hydrafacial at Viva yesterday! The esthetician, Barbara, did a great job prepping my skin for the extractions, which is the main reason I went in (going on a big long trip and I want my skin to look as good as possible so I'm not constantly putting out dermatological fires). The atmosphere was inviting, eclectic, and I loved the clean beauty brands they both carry and use in their treatments. My skin came out glowing and dewy, and it was much improved from its initial state when I walked in. Will definitely be back, I think I found my med spa home base!

GET A FACIAL HERE! Came here for the first time for a customized facial. It's definitely a pricey place (but comparable to many other higher end spas) and I really felt like the facial I got was worth it. The products they use are from this all-natural, organic line and they smell amazing (but are fragrance free!) and the esthetician was really friendly and did a wonderful job. Overall, it's was a very pleasant and luxurious experience and I would definitely go again!

I've been coming to viva day spa for years. Enjoying spa services and recently the medspa. I feel so cared for and pampered each time I am in the spa. During the pandemic I was scared to come back at first, but they've treated covid so carefully. Making sure our safety is the first priority. I am so grateful to all the staff at Viva Day spa for continuing to take care of all of Austin.

I was gifted a certificate for my birthday for a Mother Nurture Spa treatment. I was a bit reluctant since I'm 36 weeks pregnant and all of the other 5 massages that I've gotten in other places have just felt like a body rub. However, I was pleasantly surprise of the quality and knowledge of Tabatha! She has magical hands and was not afraid when I asked for a bit more of pressure.

The set up was perfect, the scents, the quality, everything! Do not doubt to book a spa service at this place! I will definitely be back sooner or later depending when my baby arrives haha!

I was gifted a certificate from my daughter and her boyfriend for a 90-minute Mother Nurture Spa treatment. It was my very first spa massage ever. David was very comforting, and very good at explaining the process to me. Also, he was very good at massage. The front desk lady (sorry, I can't remember her name) was extremely friendly and also very helpful.

Even though I live out of town, they helped me schedule my massage in a very limited window. I left feeling amazing, and not greasy or too slicked down. My skin actually felt very smooth and moisturized--like a baby's butt. Also left with a cute little gift bag! Would definitely go back! :)

Had a pretty good massage here, but I've had better massages at much cheaper places. I thought maybe the extra price tag here would be for additional frills like relaxing in robes in a room beforehand, but it wasn't like that.we did wait, but not in a super relaxing closed room or in robes etc. I will say it was a beautiful, nice and clean establishment!

This an update to my previous review bc they displayed great customer service to address what happened during my last visit. Sara, the manager, reached out to me and dropped off the brush, along with lip balm, muscle rub, and a beautifully scented candle. I offered that I could pick the brush up on my next visit or when it was safe to be out and about, but Sara insisted on dropping the goodie bag off.

I love it and my cat does too! So not only do they offer amazing services and really pamper you, they go above and beyond in their customer service. If you ever need a spa day or a spa treatment, I highly recommend Viva bc you'll be taken care of.

The team here knows how to take care of their clients. I enjoyed the celebration treatment here and felt like a VIP. They planned out every small detail so that I felt comfortable and relaxed during and between each treatment.
