Thip Ta Ra Retreat

Are six stars available?
I have enjoyed services here several times. Typically, I go to get a great massage. They are very professional and pride themselves on being professional therapists. That is more and more important when you are looking for a great massage given there are so many shops these days. Finding a good therapist is not easy and when you find one you need to be thankful.
For me, Thai massage is the best massage in the world and this small, humble shop is a master at their profession. Your not paying for fancy rental space and furnishings here, just a clean well appointed shop that has what it needs and nothing more. It is quiet, comfortable, clean, private and safe.
My advice is simple. While the fee schedule at the shop lists one hour massages, do yourself a favor and have a 2 hour massage. The extra hour gives the therapist enough time to work on those areas needing help and attention. It allows them not to rush and to make sure the massage you receive is thorough and lasting. That extra hour makes all the difference in the world.
I typically do a 2 hour massage and when budget and time permit I stretch it to 3 hours. It may sound crazy, but I can assure you the money is well spent considering the benefits of the massage last for several days.
Other services… yes they do other services as well as their website indicates, and these are provided with great professionalism as well based on my experience. They will make you feel comfortable and perform the services thoroughly and well.
It is a small shop, just a few very talented therapists, all doing a wonderful job making people feel great. Give them a try. You’ll look and feel better. You’ll sleep like a baby as well. Go and enjoy. I do very regularly.

I was extremely hesitant but this place just blew my mind! Best massage in years! Extremely clean & friendly.

I got a massage of the Thai yoga variety and was extremely satisfied.
This will stretch every tiny fiber of muscle you never knew existed and will leave you as limber as a rag. Be prepared to be pushed to your limits of flexibility. It’s also more than just some hardcore stretching. My muscle knots (which I knew I had but could never quite locate) were yanked out of hiding and forced to reckon.
Staff was friendly, readily available (I was a walk-​in) and receptive to requests for different pressures. They are also very honest in doing business. If they think you would be better of for not having certain services, they will say so, at their financial loss. The environment is clean and relaxing, and their hours are basically unbeatable.
I am planning to return soon, to check out several of their other services. Their prices range from the low end of average to average, but the value of service at this price point is remarkable.

very professional environment, i always gets good deal and something special for being a regular. yaya gives a very smooth massage. ask for aommy for a deep tissue and if you like stretching combination with relaxation, she amazing. as she always say; if you treat your body right, your body will be happy to work right for you. They also provide aroma therapy and hot stone for couple massage special. there is a shower room, It is pretty clean. I feel very happy, relax and alive after leaving this places. everyone should come pamper themselves here.

Not a bad massage place for the first time here and they actually did a great job getting all my knots out and making my bf and I really relaxed. It was a good time for a couples massage and really decent price! I got a 90min couples massage for $ 200 and I believe an hour is $ 140. I would def go back here!

Very mediocre message at best. Overpriced. Therapists do not try very hard, even if you give generous tips.

The best authentic thai massage in Houston. Really. Seriously. Ask for Amy and tell her Tianna from Unilocal sent you. Just glorious. You can spend the same elsewhere and get a sub par art institute/​texas massage therapy trained therapist in a swanky spa OR you can go see amy here who learned thai massage in Thailand. Jamie, the aesthetician gives impeccably thorough facials that are better than any I’ve had, including the guerlain spa in NYC at the waldorf Astoria. Trust. Best bang for your buck, for sure. Annnnnd they use aromatherapy throughout both facials and massage. FTW!

After fighting muscle pain for a long time, Thip Ta Ra Retreat helps me feel a lot better. Authentic Thai massage really help! The owner, Thip, is very nice and friendly. I definitely recommend this place.

I have been getting weekly massages from Jamie for over a year. The few times I have been out of town or tried an alternative I immediately came back. As mentioned by other reviewers Jamie has made many improvements to create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere for massages. I recommend this place to all of my friends.

I LOVE this place. Everytime I leave I feel refreshed and energized — even after long exhausting days. I can’t say enough great things about Jamie and everyone else that works there. The massages are a perfect combination of deep tissue and thai massage. I’ve also done waxing and facials there– both are excellent!!!

Although not glitzy like some of the spas in houston, hands down (no pun intended) these are the best massages in Houston if you want to heal muscle spasms, back pain, and the like. The massage therapists are professional, the owner friendly, and the space is minimal but nicely decorated.

Jamie has done a wonderful job of making this business a place you want to return to over and over. It is clean and inviting. The therapists pay careful attention to what you request and do their best to deliver. For a genuine Thai massage you should give Jamie and her staff a try.

Really just the nicest lady who runs this place. My therapist Gabby was wonderful too! Writing this review about 2 months after my last massage but am booking my 2^nd appointment today.
The service was great, the atmosphere was simple but relaxing and the massage was exactly what I wanted.

Great genuine thai massage. We had a great couples massage– no wait. Professional and very clean place. Located in convenient center off shepherd at SW Frwy.
I got a deep tissue massage, while my wife had a Swedish massage. She got a facial before the massage.
I work out a lot, so I appreciated the deep work and stretching. I loved having my wife there.
Get Cathy, Mint, or Thip— they are terrific.
