Saba Day Spa

I had the best massage here, and since they started offering a subscription, I received a monthly paid subscription and a 100 $ gift certificate for my bday/​xmas.
But then within two months, they said they were moving and they no longer offered some of the services. They refused to refund the gift certificate saying that they would move so I could just use it at the new location. I also had two massages that were paid for as part of the subscription but never received.
And alas, they closed down and disappeared and my money is gone. I don’t know why they started offering the subscriptions because it turned out their intention was to downsize and move anyways.
Very dishonest, and

I received deep tissue massage therapy from Samantha. She was able to provide the right amount of pressure and was very effective in helping me heal. I would definitely recommend her for deep tissue massage in the north Austin area. The owner of the spa, Maryam, is very nice and welcoming! And the atmosphere is relaxing and comforting.

I’ve driven by here every day for a while now. Always curious about it but never found time to go in. Then I found an Amazon Local deal so I had to try it out. Brandy did my pedi and she took her time to make my feet extremely smooth (and I had some pretty rough feet). And my polish looks great! She was very meticulous with applying polish, ensuring no smudges on the skin. Even got a quick polish for my fingers (not a planned service but she was willing to provide the service for me). Loved the entire experience from walk in to walk out and my hands and feet look great! They sell this awesome line of bath salts and fizzies that smell SO GOOD. Cute little spa with awesome service, plus Maryam and Brandy are two funny ladies, they have a great rapport. Found my new favorite place. I will definitely be back, might even bring my daughter with me and start a mommy/​daughter tradition.

A small day spa with loads of heart and atmosphere. My husband had the hour massage with Kim. He said she really got his muscle to release their tension. I had a pedicure with Marianne. My feet have never looked so good! Thanks, ladies. We will definately be back.

I have been in search of a place that does eyebrow threading ever since I moved to Texas. I found this place online and discovered it was right down the road for me. I was able to schedule and appointment with Maryam through email (which is something I love being able to because I hate calling places.)
When I got there, the staff was so welcoming and friendly. Everything was really clean and organized. Maryam did a fantastic job on my eyebrows. I got a ton of compliments on them. She was friendly and we had a great conversation while she was doing them. It wasn’t like other places where I have been where there’s just that awkward silence or one word answers.
I felt the price was really reasonable. I used to pay around $ 30 – 40 for a threading in Seattle. I was shocked when she said it was $ 15.
I had an extremely pleasant experience. I will continue to go here until I no longer need my eyebrows maintained, which will be never,

So I wanted to do something for myself and decided to splurge on a spa day. I chose to be a Saba Queen for a Day. And let me tell you Saba did not disappoint! I have been pampered all afternoon and it was amazing! I highly recommend Saba Day Spa. Thank you for a great day!

If you live in Austin, or if you’re visiting Austin, spending a few hours in Saba Day Spa is one of the best things you can ever do for yourself. My family lives in Austin so I visit Austin often, and last month I got the best, most relaxing facial of my life.

Had a wonderful mani/​pedi here.
Pros:
Atmosphere — didn’t smell like a nail salon & comfy leather chair. Hot soaking tub of water with marbles @ the bottom. Nice music.
Service — Offered choice of beverages & given a few pieces of chocolate. Warm neck wrap — very relaxing. Loved the scrub & warm oil massage.
Cons:
Parking lot is a little small but not a big deal. You may want to book your nail service in advance because they have 2 pedicure chairs & 2 nail stations.

***UPDATE*** I thought that this review saved but it didn’t so I just wanted to add this update the Spa no longer does Gel polish however she does have some other polishes which can last about 10 days. I wash my hands a lot and my nails grow pretty fast so won’t last that long for me but still very nice.****
I had received some SpaFinder Gift Certificates and this place was listed as Spa that accepted them. So I figured I would check it out –I mean if I didn’t like the place it’s not like I lost any money. I have fell in love with this place!!!
First of all, I called the day before my appointment and was able to get seen which I was very surprised about, plus the receptionist actually listened to what I said I wanted so when she did book my appointment Mariam (sp) knew what I wanted and she even asked me to make sure that was what I had requested. For everything I spent $ 100; now I did get some Add-​on services however I was fully aware of this so I wasn’t surprised when I was done and told my total. As I was speaking to Mariam and telling her the other things that I wanted she let me know that these would be Add-​ons and how much they were.
My nails are naturally long and very strong but I have never been able to find a polish that will not start chipping after three or four days (even with me going to a professional), other places when I have asked what I could do they always suggest I add Acrylic on top; and I’m just not doing that it is horrible on the natural nail. Mariam suggested I try the Gel polish and honestly, I thought that this was just some new fancy Acrylic stuff that is to be gentler. When she told me no it’ s polish I was like Okay, let’s try it. She told me to pick out a color and I asked if she could do a French tips I like the look but again, other places have always told me I would need to get Acrylic over my nails in order for it to last. When she told me yes I was excited. My nails look gorgeous!!! I can’t stop looking at them :-)
My pedicure was wonderful as well, she really did a good job making sure that I felt relaxed and everything was to my liking. Not to mention Mariam is just such a sweet person, you can really tell that she enjoys what she is doing and wants to make sure that you are happy.
Also, they do have various drinks from, water, juices, teas, and yes wine, and chocolates just an extra sweet little touch.
I have found my Spa I haven’t tried their massages or waxes yet but I will and will most definitely post a review my experiences with those services as well.

I came to Saba Day Spa for a deluxe mani & pedi. Renee worked with me. This was such a relaxing and fun afternoon for me. The conversation, décor, & wine were wonderful additions. Renee was so genuine. Go see her! Will be coming back.

OMG! I almost don’t want to share this place as I want to keep it «my little secret»…but that would not be fair… and it would make my karma really bad — ha! Maryam (the owner) is absolutely delightful — and she TOTALLY understands customer service! She is amazing — and — best Brazilian ever! (…how that was a good experience, I’ll never know, but she made it happen…)
The salon is SO relaxing and peaceful and well done. I am counting the minutes until my return — for a mani /​pedi this time… if the BZ was great, cannot imagine how fantastic that experience will be!
Just so you know — this gem is tucked away, so you can drive right past it — I did and had to turn around. It was worth the turn!

Went in for 2^nd pedi (have not had any other services and I don’t wear polish – my review does not address that. It was a Fri. and I had to reschedule twice – how embarrassing – but they called me right back. They were very nice about it.
Maryam was very gracious when I went back in. Alas, she had not remembered the promised white wine or at least a fizzy 7-​up etc. but had 2 weeks notice that I was coming in. Not a big deal, still, I’d had a hard week and it would have been nice since it was promised.
The first time in, I and Maryam were the only two in the place. This time another technician was working on two successive women in the next chair and Maryam was w/​me. Since I didn’t know the other 2 or the other tech, and since I don’t have kids or grandkids, it was disconcerting to spend an hour listening to how busy and brilliant their kids were. Maryam barely entered into that conversation, but it felt impossible to carry on a conversation with her when the other one was going on 3 feet away. The place is small, so not sure what she could do to remedy it, but it felt very odd being a in the middle of someone else’s conversation for an hour – and another client came in
Recommendation, 1) don’t go on a busy day like Friday 2) go with a friend and have a party. :) It was still a lovely pedicure.

I have been going to this spa since early May. Mryam the owner does my pedicures. She is WONDERFUL. She always offers me something to drink. On a random side note, she has oxygenated water there and it is so good. They have those wonderful plush chairs to sit in for your pedicure. I could sit there all day. I am not a fan of the standard pedicure chair. Myram has over 100 polishes to pick from. She sets the tone for a tranquil environment in her spa. I appreciate this. She also calls to confirm your appointments which I really like. Try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

I’m not sure where these 5 stars are coming from?! This was THE worst experience I’ve ever had for a Mani and Pedi! And the most painful!
There were 2 Groupons for 2 places and after looking at Unilocal and websites I chose here. The website is GREATLY misleading into what the place looks like! It is NOT at all what you see on the website! It is a tiny shack like place with a horrible paint job and terrible manicure tables (only 2), pedicure chairs (2) and tools. I swear the same tools that were used on the person before me were used on me as well. I usually see the tools being opened but not here. And then the same ones used for my hands were used on my feet. That was new. I’m pretty certain the water for my hands was not fresh either. And that’s all it was, water. Not soaps or salts or anything. A tiny selection of polish too.
I also got a good gouge on my ankle from when she was using the tool to take the dead skin off my heals. She was holding it at a vertical angle and going inwards and kept whacking my ankle making it bleed. I also have polish on my skin all around my toes which you should get when they are done by a professional. And left over polish on my finger nails that wasn’t taken off thoroughly before new polish. And every time she was doing my cuticles it felt like she was ripping off my fingers and toes with it.
There was just the one lady there so she had to keep stopping to do other things.
Yeah, I won’t be back here! Don’t be fool by the glorious look of the website!

I have found my pedicure place. The ladies here are so helpful and friendly and they did a wonderful job with my pedicure and my husband’s pedicure.
I called the day before, hoping to squeeze in an appointment for two. I had to leave a message, but they called back right away.
We each got the deluxe pedicure, which is $ 50. However, that is for one hour! They offer beverages, too. I cannot remember what they all are, because I stopped listening at «wine». The foot bath has little marbles/​pebbles in it, which is a small touch I loved. My feet were so smooth afterwards! They also gave us little Dove chocolates with the wine. We had a warm clove/​spicy scenting cloth heating pad for our neck/​shoulders. The scrub and buffing were wonderful.
If you book your next service when you check out, you get 10% off (which I didn’t do this time, but once my schedule is more regular, I will).
This is such a comfortable, warm place. I will be back!

Birthday gift was massage and mani/​pedi — 3 hours in the wonderful care of Miriam and her staff. So incredibly friendly (she hugged me when I left!) and the masseuse talked only enough to keep it cordial (relaxing!). I can’t say enough good things about the sweet nature of the staff. Atmosphere is top-​notch and I plan to go back in the very near future.

It is really as good as it gets.
Im so happy I found my new favorite Spa. I had a pedicure last week at Saba day Spa and it is the best pedi I ever had. The xperience was amazing, starting from the moment they welcome you at the door. Even their voices are hush hush so you start relaxing from the moment you step in. Everything is super clean, the owner Meriem is a gem she did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and taking care of my poor tired feet. Between the wine and the feet massage I was ready to fall asleep on my chair :) I have never been this happy with a pedicure. Everybody was so sweet and nice. Excellent customer service and super happy they speak english:)
I liked it so much Im bringing my mom today for her own pedi yaaaaaaaayyyy.

A few days ago I saw Davina to get my first Brazilian waxing done, yes my first and therefore although I was excited at the prospect I was certainly nervous about discomfort and embarrassment.
But thanks to Davina who is a very down to earth and friendly person and who talked to me throughout the process, it was quick and relatively painless. Whew! I am so glad that this spa exists so close to my house but even if it did not it would be worth the drive for something important like this!
And the other staff were very kind and sincere too!!!

One of the best pedicures I’ve had… and I’ve had many! The spa was very clean and comfortable. Everyone spoke English WELL. The actual pedicure was perfect… relaxing and my feet were well taken care of. The staff cares about the client having a good experience and willing to do whatever it takes. I will definitely be back!

BEST spa I have been to. Pedicure and massage were wonderful. They pay great attention to detail. Very nice staff. It is worth the drive to north austin.
