A Better Body - The Spa at II Creeks

07/16/2008 Posted by BishopAve

What a hidden gem! Once you pass through the doors, you won’t believe you are in Richardson. I had a wonderful experience at the Spa at II Creeks. I arrived looking for some relaxation from a hard workout. . I had the perfect massage. When I walked in the receptionist was curtious and friendly. The staff spent some time talking to make sure that I had the perfect experience. I felt like I was walking on air for hours after my treatment. It was a great afternoon!

Pros: The staff all have multiple certifications.

What a caring staff! From making sure I knew the way to the spa and that I knew when to arrive to fully enjoy my services, to allowing me to quietly enjoy my treatments – they didn’t keep up an endless chatter – to allowing me to just sit in their quiet area to sip tea and relax after my treatments, the staff at this spa made me fell like royalty. I’m now ready to return to my reality and give all I have, again.

Pros: Ambience, Value, Skilled Staff

Cons: A little hard to find, but great directions from staff

My massage was good, but the service was a bit mediocre. When I first called, I was warned about canceling my appointment by the receptionist, and upon giving my credit card information, was really put off by the idea that they don't trust their customers. As someone mentioned below, accidents happen, and at times, it's not our fault and I don't feel people should be penalized should they be put in a situation where they have to be charged for missing an appointment due to an emergency. I didn't miss my appointment, I am just very turned off by the fact that I had to give my credit card information to the receptionist "just in case". Many salons do not have such a policy yet they're still successful, if not more successful than this spa. To me, being satisfied with the experience at a spa is not only concluded by if I was satisfied with the massage, but it's the over all attitude and demeanor of the service, which I didn't feel was anything special. I've had better massages, at better spas, with way better service. The receptionists were attentive but a bit curt and unapproachable, but I'm sensing it was because I seemed young. This place is run by older women and it seems like that's their clientele as well, which is not a negative thing at all. Just different. My pedicure, however was excellent. The woman that did my pedicure was very kind, polite, gentle, and definitely helped to make my experience relaxing. That's still not enough to make me come back though, sorry!

Pros: Prices

Cons: Location is hard to find

Absolutely exceeded all expectations! Very relaxing, everyone was SO FRIENDLY! The massage therapist was so knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me without me even asking! I have been to many spas, and if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, friendly atmosphere that's not at all stuffy, please visit this spa, you will not be disappointed! I absolutely will return and am so glad to have found such a sweet little oasis. :)

Pros: Very relaxing, quaint, private, the staff is so friendly!

Cons: None!

As a client of The Spa at II Creeks (formerly A Better Body Day Spa) for several years, I think I am overdue in telling everyone what an absolutely wonderful spa this is. In all my travels over the years at five star spas, I never found one that consistently offers the high quality of professional and personal service combined with such an aesthetic and relaxing, healing environment. I receive therapeutic massages and nail treatments on a regular basis and I always appreciate the fact that every detail has been thought out to provide the best and most relaxing experience possible. Now that the Spa is at II Creeks, it really is better than ever because of its beautiful and elegant decor, easier parking, quieter neighborhood, more extensive list of services and treatments, and its impeccable service by the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Pros: service and ambience

Cons: none

Both my daughter and I have used this salon several times. I stopped going there (and I have ALWAYS gotten regular manicures, pedicures, facials, waxing, massages, etc. wherever I've lived) because of how they handle weekend appointments. When I first called, back in 2006, I was told that on holiday weekends only, they keep your credit card number on file and charge you if you miss the appointment. I thought that was kind of strange, but based on II Creeks's rave reviews, I decided to take a chance. I was a regular! Then, almost a year later, they tell me they do this EVERY weekend. What if you have an unexpected emergency? What if you have a child that gets sick? I tried to ask them about this, but they weren't very nice about it and just said, "That's our policy." I had two appointments pending at the time and cancelled them both. What a shame . . . I spend quite a bit on "upkeep" and would have gladly kept going there if it weren't for this.

Pros: ambience, good facials

Cons: terrible credit card policy

I’ve been living in this area for almost 5 years and did not know Day Spa is around the corner from my house. A friend told me that she read about this place in “Richardson Living”. We were pleasantly surprised by the way the spa looks! My manicure and pedicure were very nice! The prices are good as well. They give hand treatments with hot towels and a glass of wine if you are up for it! It is always a great experience.

Pros: Facials, manicure, pedicure.

Cons: Hard to find

Let me start with the positives: the staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable, the decor was very relaxing and I was truly impressed with the level of cleanliness and sanitation. Overall, I had a really nice experience. The esthetician was knowledgeable, experienced, and gentle. I received several compliments on my skin afterwards. I do have a few complaints: I thought the prices were rather high for the services and for the location. I also got an manicure and express pedicure and was disappointed that my feet were never submerged in water. Thirty minutes is sufficient time to include a small soak. Instead, a hot wet towel was wrapped around my feet. Also, there was no hand lotion in the bathroom, which is a staple in most spas. I will absolutely be returning for a facial but I will go elsewhere to get my nails done.

Pros: Friendly staff, clean, relaxing, facials

Cons: Pricey, nails

If you are in Dallas area, you have to check out the decor and the atmosphere of this place. It is so comforting and relaxing. The service is a plus! I love it! The spa is very Clean, services are always on time or I might have a chance to get some refreshments before my service and I like that too, and the staff is so much fun, I feel like family and I forget about the real world!

I am a road warrior--travel everyweek by plane all over the USA and internationally. My favorite thing to do in life is to receive a massage. I have had massages in spa resorts in Europe, Asia and USA. Without a doubt, The Spa at II Creeks is the Best Dallas kept secret. The staff is friendly, kind and courteous. They treat me like a queen and really take good care of my body. The massage therapists are so knowledgeable about healing and muscle needs. My wounded road warrior body always feels refreshed, renergized and healed. They are the best!

Pros: Excellent service. Clean facility. Relaxing ambiance.

Cons: For a new comer, the sign is not very clear on the location of the spa.
