“Man, it’s a beautiful thing,” Jackson told KPRC 2. “She already had the vision. She had a spa before me, so she knew the ins and outs. I’m just one of the guys behind the scenes. She does everything. We wanted to create generational wealth.
“This is something we always wanted to do. It’s always important to take care of your body. She’s an intelligent young lady and she’s driven and there’s no denying her. The layout of the place, she did everything. It was her. I’m just her partner in support.”

Jackson and Johnson met three years ago. She’s a former Forrest Brook cheerleader and Texas A&M recruiting hostess who previously owned a spa in River Oaks that was closed after a fire. She was already in the process of building out this new spa with plans for expansion to as many as five locations in Texas.
“It meant a lot to me,” Johnson said. “I’ve foreseen these well beyond this one. It’s almost like it manifested itself. It’s amazing to see.”
Escape Spa is based on the principles of unwind, restore and elevate.
“It’s a place of wellness,” Johnson said. “We like to call it a safe haven. We specialize in recovery and wellness. That’s our specialty. We have massages, skin care, a wine bar, all the good things you need to relax. You can do it under one house. The customers are great. We’re navigating to that target audience who loves self-care and appreciate their bodies and well-being. So far, so good.”
