I went into massage envy thursday morning and was greated by two smiling faces. Both ladies where very helpful and kind. The massage was great and helped out with many of the problems I was having with my back. Before I left both ladies again made sure that i enjoyed the massage and was booked for my next appointment with the, I do highly reccommend going to massage envy envy if you just want to relax.

We are so glad that you had a great experience today at our Memorial location. We get many compliments on the therapists and front desk staff over there. For example: "Excellent therapist. He listened to me and helped me ALOT with a specific problem." "Jason was very good with a massage novice." "Claudia is an excellent massage therapist. A++++" "Cheryl did a great job and made me feel relaxed." "Kevin was excellent. He really addresses the needs and has excellent technique." "The receptionists made me feel welcome. They're super awesome!" But don't just take the word of our thousands of members, come in and see for yourself how great your Massage Envy experience can be. We love you, Houston!

When I called to set up my appointment for Sunday afternoon 8-31-08, the girl on the phone was insisting that I be there 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork so it would not cut into my hour. I showed up 20 minutes early and after waiting appx 35 minutes no one had showed up to take me in the back for a massage. When i approached the desk to find out what the issue was the girls were frustrated with me that i was inquiring about the delay. She responded that it was not their responsiblity to tell the therapist about their appointments. I asked her to just cancel the appointment. I had been there 45 minutes at this point with no resolution. The 3 girls went into the office and the solution they had come up with collectively to appease me was to NOT charge me for the cancellation fee. Thanks a bunch Massage Envy!

Pros: None

Cons: unfriendly staff, unorganized

We're so sorry about your experience

We take our responsibility to our guests very seriously. After looking into it, I learned that unfortunately on that afternoon the manager had left ill, so that the staff was without a manager. My understanding is that you were relaxing in our tranquility room and simply got "out of sight, out of mind." Our fault entirely. We have systems in place to avoid this problem but they obviously failed that day. We're number one in the hearts of Houston for a reason, and we hope we have the chance to redeem ourselves in your eyes! Please call the manager, Vicki, and let her set you up with one of our highly-acclaimed therapists. My guess is that you'll be glad you did!

Thank you, Houston, for voting Massage Envy the Best Massage in Houston on the KHOU poll. We love what we do – providing professional, convenient massages at affordable prices – and we are thrilled that you do, too! We have a program for everyone who wishes to enjoy the wellness benefits of massage. Most of you take advantage of our wellness program, receiving deeply discounted massages in exchange for a 12-month agreement. For those who prefer not to make a commitment, we still love to have you visit us often, and judging by the numbers, you do! The reason for our success in serving your needs is our huge pool of talented therapists. They are the best of the best, going through rigorous training and screening prior to their hire, and rigorous orientation into the Massage Envy family afterwards. Our therapists have an average of 5 years in the profession, all with the healing gift of touch. More than half of our therapists have been with us for over a year, many for over two or three years. We have a wonderful compensation package that benefits those hard-working professionals, many of whom are able to buy their first home thanks to their job security at Massage Envy. Many of our therapists have told us that the wonderful clients and safe, fraternal work environment are the secrets to their happiness. Again, Houston, thank you for voting us the Best Massage in Houston. We greatly appreciate your support and your business!

I got a massage here and it was fine- the therapist did an ok job but she talked the whole time about bizarre things. She kept telling me quasi-scientific "facts" about how if you get a massage after you've been drinking "all the stuff we loosen up will go to your liver and you'll die" and other equally weird tidbits. She also told me how much she makes per hour, and that I should put olive oil on my face every night if I want to look young. It was a strange experience and I won't return.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Strange conversation

I'm so sorry that you did not have a GREAT experience. We pride ourselves on being in the top 4 Massage Envys in Texas and top 10% in the nation, so we take your comments to heart. We train our therapists to be very sensitive to client's needs, so shame on us for not living up to that expectation with you. Let me share some recent reviews of our therapists' work sent in to our corporate offices in Phoenix (names have been shortened):"The staff at the front is always terrific! I have been seeing M.T. for months and always look forward to how relaxed he makes me feel in massage." "K.S. was wonderful. Very good therapist and very nice man." "J.R. was AWESOME." "J.R. is professional, strong and warm. I am a seasoned receiver of massage and I was impressed by her abilities!" "I got in for an appt tonight, even though I only called 45 minutes in advance. My massage was great and everyone was so nice and welcoming. I immediately signed up for the membership. I will go back many,many times!"

My sister got me my first massage. I was nervous at first, but the therapist was professional. Yes he watched the clock, but if everyone got a "hour" long massage, then the times would not start and end on the hour. But the 50 minutes I did get, was nothing but pure heaven. He asked exactly what I wanted and provided it. I did leave wanting more, but I think even if I was there for 8 hours, I would still want more. Then I found out something even better. It is called family discount. I am getting $10 off my monthly fees ( Yes I joined, try it and you will too )

Pros: A great place to get a massage, professional staff, very clean place.

Cons: No Hot Stones, I would love to try that.

Massage Envy is to massage what Supercuts is to salons. It is cheap but you get what you pay for. I have been given 2 gift certs to go there and both times it has been disappointing. Save up a few extra bucks and seek out a professional massage with a therapist that will treat you as the individual you are and will work with you to improve your health and stress by developing an on-going relationship with that therapist. It is well worth it. Massage Envy = disappointment

Pros: clean

Cons: therapists watching the clock

I have had many wonderful massages over the years and my massage at Massage Envy was one of the best. The therapist was very professional. She made sure I was very comfortable and relaxed. It was a quiet and soothing atmosphere, except when my cell phone rang. Remember to turn your cell off. I would love to recommend this salon to my friends and family. It is such an affordable massage and a great value.

Pros: Very professional, quiet and calm

Cons: None

I had three massages with excellent experience prior to purchasing a membership. Then I made the mistake of signing a 12 month membership. This location will never have availability for members to schedule a masssage. They want the monthly dues and save appointment times for non-members. Apparently, I am not the only one having this problem check with the Better Business Bureu.

Clean, friendly and helpful employees, and super cheap! I went once and bought a membership - it's SO worth it! If you're looking for fancy waterfalls, fresh flowers, and herbal tea from a mug when you're done this is not the place... but if you're looking for a good massage at a good price this place is great!

Pros: clean, price, staff, flexible schedule

I've tried several massage therapists in Houston but as soon as I've found this place I'm settled. Clean, nice place, with very friendly atmosphere, excellent therapists and best price/performance ratio you can get. 10 minutes drive from my place. Works all week early morning to late evening. Never was turned down for an appointment. What else I can ask for? Got my memebership after the first visit. Thumbs up for Rob for excellent sports / deep tissue massage :)

Pros: Best value for the price, excellent therapists, friendly staff

Cons: None found to date
