About

The business opened in Houston in 2011 under its founder, Christina Hartmann Jenkins, an esthetician who still guides its core treatments. Before opening, the founders worked in high-end restaurants, including front-of-house management at a Michelin-level restaurant.

Massage and organic spray tanning are offered only there. Tanglewood offers complimentary storefront parking, and both locations offer complimentary beer and wine.

Med spa care is overseen by Dr. Michael Chen, MD, the Medical Director, who oversees clinical protocols, treatment standards and safety at both locations. Services include Botox, Botox Party, Dysport, Jeuveau, Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, Kybella, SkinPen microneedling and LaseMD Ultra laser resurfacing, as well as B12 and NAD+ injections and medical weight loss with semaglutide and GLP-1. An initial medspa consultation is offered. The business notes that results vary by person and that its website information is general, not medical advice.

Clients can book through the MINDBODY app or the website. Payment plans are available, including financing through Cherry, but discounts can't be stacked with Cherry financing, memberships or other discounts. According to the salon's website, every facial is performed by a licensed esthetician, and all service areas are staffed by licensed professionals. The business calls itself Houston's trusted luxury spa and medspa. The Upper Kirby location serves neighborhoods including River Oaks, Montrose, Midtown and Downtown. The Tanglewood location serves areas such as Memorial, the Galleria and Westchase.

The business gets to know each client first so treatments feel as comfortable as possible, and treatments are tailored to every skin type.

The business describes its Tanglewood clinic as having a boutique feel.
