I just had my first facial at Potion with Val and it won’t be my last. I could easily say it was the best facial I have received, hands down. The place is so cozy and inviting, I instantly felt at home. I felt so taken care of and I love how Val went above and beyond to address all of my skincare needs, from red light therapy to facial massage, I not only walked away with glowy skin, but also expert advice. Thank you, Val!

Liv did an amazing job on my lash lift and tint. I'm obsessed! They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and the results exceeded my expectations! I went for a more natural lift and a dark brown tint since so am a natural blonde and wasn't sure what to expect but the results are still very noticable and I'm not worried about going for a more drastic look next time. Potion is also a super cute space and I can't wait to come back!

I've experienced massages from various practitioners, but Lance's technique stands out. Lance's skilled hands and attention to detail provide a truly exceptional massage experience. Lance's intuitive approach is unparalleled. Their calming presence instantly puts you at ease, and skilled hands precisely work out the tension. After the session, you feel physically rejuvenated and mentally uplifted. Lance's massages are truly transformative, leaving you craving more of his unmatched, intuitive touch.

Had a Complete facial with Emily and was positively transported. Very relaxing and my skin LOVED the attention. My skin texture feels so much better after this visit. I'd be remiss if I don't comment on how cute the place is and there's plenty of parking. Emily was amazing and highly recommended.

10 stars if I could. If you are looking to upgrade your eyebrows, RUN don't walk to meet with Liv! When I was younger, I struggled with trichotillomania, which left my eyebrows very sparse. They have always been a huge insecurity of mine, and I filled them in religiously every day and often was unhappy with the results. When I saw one of Liv's previous clients post their results on Instagram, I decided to take a chance and try out Potion, and I am so so glad I did. Liv is so kind and compassionate, and I immediately felt comfortable and validated in their presence. They really took the time to talk through what I wanted my brows to look like and my past pain points, and then painstakingly curated a brow shape that was absolutely perfect for my face and eye shape. Having someone apply tattoos to your face is definitely a trust exercise, but between Liv's incredible communication and immaculate skills and Potion's relaxing atmosphere, this experience was such a positive one. Having my new permanent brows has been such a confidence gamechanger for me, and waking up and not having to deal with bald spots or patchy brows has made me unbelievably happy. I never thought that I could have brows this good and this EASY. If you have insecurities surrounding your eyebrows, want gender-affirming eyebrows or just think that your eyebrow shape and fullness could be better, I would recommend Liv in a heartbeat.

Didn’t want to write a negative review as Liv was very sweet when we met but my experience was not a great one. I went in for freckles and while I came out with what I thought was a beautifully done job my freckles disappeared within two/three weeks. When I asked if she could do anything she said she could do a ‘touch up session’ which would cost 75% of what I paid. This was really upsetting because I had saved to get this done and didn’t have a couple of hundred laying around for her to fix what had gone wrong. I felt the whole thing was really quite unfair and definitely won’t be returning. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

So so good! I have super sensitive skin and when I left my face looked so good and not at all red and irritated, the way it usually does at other places. Highly recommend Ella!

I had my first facial in over a decade with Emily Vega at Potion. The massage to my head, neck, and upper body felt amazing, and I especially enjoyed the lymphatic facial massage. The products used felt so good and smelled incredible My skin feels rejuvenated and I feel very relaxed. Can't wait for my next visit!

Had nano blading with Liv who’s a complete expert at defining eyebrows. Cozy atmosphere, easy going staff, very accommodating and professional. This is the place you’re looking for!

I had an amazing experience with Liv at Potion getting nano bladed! They listened to all my concerns and worked with me to find the perfect shape for my brows. Liv made sure the experience was comfortable and that I wasn’t in any discomfort. I could not have asked for a better stylist and I highly recommend! They did an amazing job, and I am loving my brows so much!

I had the most comfortable and affirming experience with Liv at Potion getting my nano brows done! They were so understanding and took the time to really give me the face I truly dreamt of. The vibes of this place are also *immaculate* like it smells so good in there and the decor is a MOOD. Will absolutely be back to see Liv again for services in the future. 10/10

Liv is the best! I got nano brows from them and they did a great job at making me feel comfortable and talking me through the whole process! My brows have never looked better 😍

Liv rocks, they know their stuff

I see Ella ~1x per month for a facial. Every session is great- clean products paired with a light head/ shoulder/ arms massage + any amount of conversation you are comfortable with. I highly recommend everyone go check out Potion and if you're looking for a wonderful facial experience, book w/ Ella :)

As soon as I had my first massage with Lance at Potion, I booked my second massage with Lance for the following month. They provide a wonderful service and I’m grateful to have found them. I left feeling so relaxed and calm. 11/10 experience. Highly recommend!!

Ella is the absolute best! I always feel a million times better after seeing her. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and truly cares about you as a client. Thank you, Ella, for making look and feel so great! 😊

Ella is the best! Her facials are gentle yet effective. I always feel pampered and relaxed, and leave absolutely radiant. She’s a true skin junky staying up to date on new technologies and the best products. Check out this gem!

Emily did an amazing job with my facial and was so kind! The shop is so beautiful and peaceful. Would highly recommend.
Feb 06, 2024
Emily gave me the best experience for a facial when I went! She was so thorough and had a very in-depth discussion with me about my skin, history, and goals. I really felt listened to and like she was an invested partner in my skin! I left feeling so well taken care of and relaxed, and my skin has been glowing since! I can’t wait to go back

Emily is wonderful. I fall asleep when she gives me a facial and I wake up looking amazing!

I don’t even live in Texas anymore, but I make time for a Potion visit whenever I’m in town. I love that the facials are specific to your skin and needs. You never feel rushed and always walk out completely glowing. The amount of care and energy Val and Emily ( the two I’ve seen) put into their work comes through in their touch and results. My only complaint is that their face massage is so relaxing that I inevitably doze off when I want to be awake to enjoy every second. They also carry really great brands in store so you can stock up on favorites.

I get the best facials from Ella and trust her completely with my skin. I am a forever client!

I got beauty marks done with Liv and it was a very therapeutic and comfortable experience! Everyone was very kind, the studio was very clean yet cozy and well decorated - it smelled amazing! Liv was very accommodating/reassuring which made it a safe experience, they were also very communicative about everything. My beauty marks came out perfectly and they’re healing very well, overall a great experience!

I got nano brows done with Liv and it was such a wonderful experience! They are very kind, with my eyebrows being a sensitive spot for me, Liv was able to make me feel at ease. They were very accommodating, reassuring, and encouraging making this experience feel more cathartic for my body and soul. The shop itself smells awesome, feels cozy, and welcoming. Everyone is super kind. I cannot thank Liv enough for making this insecure spot, so so beautiful. My eyebrows came out PERFECTLY. I loved that they were able to match my everyday makeup, all while dealing with my pale complexion. The healing is smooth and painless. I feel so much more confident in my skin and it is all thanks to Liv. Thank you from my heart.

I got tooth gems with Liv and I had such a great experience! It was my first time getting them- Liv answered all the questions I had, they are very knowledgable in what they do, and they were very patient throughout the process. I loved the atmosphere of their location, and I definitely recommend hitting up Liv for your tooth gem needs!

I had the 2 hour complete facial with Emily Vega and am just going to say it exceeded expectations. I knew I was in for a treat but I didn't realize how extensive of a service it was going to be. I came in for a facial and left with so much tension relieved of my head, neck and upper body. The lymphatic facial massage was heaven. The smell and feel of all the facial products was an experience in itself. It was overall very gentle, grounding, peaceful, and rejuvenating.

I’ve seen both Liv (cosmetic tattooing) and Lance (massage) who work at Potion and could not have been happier with either of their services. Liv gave me adorable, natural looking freckles in a multi-hour session. We mapped out exactly where each freckle would go and how to best highlight my face. And I didn’t feel a thing because I chose to pre-numb for the session. I included pics of my fresh and healed freckles below. They were so lovely, humble, and personable too! Lance is an amazing massage therapist. I saw them during a particularly stressful month in my life and was so restored by the session! They left my shoulders feeling better than they had in 15+ years and were incredibly aware and attentive in their practice. I felt so calm and cared for in my body after seeing them. Amazing place to go if you’re queer or trans! Great spot :)

Lance gives the best massages I’ve ever had in my life. They are kind, warm, safe, and highly intuitive, and I’ll be seeing them for the foreseeable future! Every journey into the room leaves me feeling healed and cleansed physically and energetically. I’m so grateful to have found them! And Potion itself has impeccable vibes. You’re in for a treat.

The best place for a facial and a massage. The vibe here is 10/10. No words can do this little gem justice. The products they use and service they provide are top notch. Not to mention the people that work here are all stellar human beings who are passionate to share their magic with the world. Everyone should treat themselves to getting pampered at Potion. You won’t regret it.

Truly the best facial experience in ATX. Their use of clean ingredients was my initial draw to Potion, but after my first visit, there were so many other things I LOVED about it: their communication, the relaxing experience, the personalization. Plus their space is quaint and beautiful! I’ve had skin issues for years and years, and Potion feels like the first place I’ve gone to that I actually feel SEEN at and cared for intentionally. Highly recommend!!

Visiting Potion TX for a facial with Val was a transformative experience. The best facial I’ve ever had. The spa's tranquil environment perfectly complements Val's expertise. She delivers a facial that is not only exceptionally relaxing but also intricately customized to individual skin needs. The treatment left my skin glowing and rejuvenated. Potion TX stands out for its dedication to personalized care and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a top choice for anyone seeking a professional and soothing skincare experience.
