I visited the brand new Sand Spa location in downtown Manhattan Beach and the moment I stepped…read moreinside I felt like I'd been transported to somewhere far more luxurious than a beachside plaza. The space has this stunning, minimalist, cave-like hallway that immediately quiets your mind. It has a modern, earthy palette that is serene and honestly feels like a retreat you'd find tucked away in Europe. I had a facial with Layla, and she was incredible. She has the perfect balance of being professional, gentle, and completely dialed in to what your skin needs. The treatment was relaxing from start to finish and she explained everything in a way that felt personalized without being overwhelming. I walked out glowing, hydrated, smooth, and noticeably brighter. The whole experience felt intentional and elevated. Every detail, from the scent of the treatment rooms to the soothing lighting, adds to the feeling that you're being fully taken care of. If you're looking for a place that feels luxurious and a facial that leaves you looking and feeling refreshed, definitely book with Layla. The new Sand Spa location is absolutely worth the hype.

For the record: All the massage therapists get 5 stars they're amazing…read more I try not to do bad reviews often but i am so frustrated at this point i am going to try to cancel my membership early My fiance and i received gift cards for our birthdays for here and we received a text that they were doing 20% off an 80 min massage this weekend so we booked it thinking it would be a perfect time to use the gift card. After the appointment, the same woman in the front was checking us out and i mentioned we had gift cards we wanted to use for our services and wanted to also make sure the promotion was applied. She said ok and that she would send me the receipt. Nervous to leave, we lingered to wait for the receipt but she continued to say she would send it. On my way home i received a call saying she needed my credit card information so i gave it to her over the phone. I checked my email and saw my receipt. I was charged nearly double what we should've paid. I called back and she said that we cannot use gift cards on massages that have the discount. MIND YOU, she called and also never stated this knowing we had already spoken regarding the promotion. I called again after rereading the promotion i received and there is no word or statement saying i couldn't use a gift card for part of my payment. I have never even heard of this concept especially that a gift card is still a form of payment. She said i could talk with management and she'll give them my info. At this point i dont even know what to believe. I'm in so much disbelief at my experience. I truly love everything else and the massage therapists are amazing but my experience with the front has been a nightmare and i can't keep coming knowing it's like this every time which leaves me torn. I sent an email in hopes i hear back but definitely need to start looking for somewhere new to go after this.

This was our first time and the NOW Massage and it was wonderful. It was perfect. We left so…read morecomfortable and happy. I wanted and did take a lovely nap when I got home, without the usual backpain that makes it impossible to nap. The place is beautiful and so calming. All of the staff is amazing. We could not have been more pleased. The prices are fair and they have a selection to choose from and they will help you pick what is best for you. It is in a super cute location and once you enter it is quite and calming and just the best. We had the The HEALER massage and the The NOW massage which is a Swedish type massage. We also each had what they called enhancements. We had Deep Tissue, which was recommended to me and I really needed it. It hurt a little in a great way. I just started to calm down. My friend had Crystal Hot Stones and loved it. We will be back.

I didn't realize my credits expired after a certain amount of time, and I was worried when I called. Damaris couldn't have been sweeter. She was understanding and extended my credits so they wouldn't go to waste. On top of that, the therapist I used to see wasn't available, so Damaris took the time to help me choose a new one. She didn't rush me and genuinely seemed to care that I ended up with a good fit. It's rare to find this kind of customer service anymore. When you're already having a stressful day, someone who helps you patiently and pleasantly makes a huge impact. Damaris is an asset to the South Bay location, and she's a big part of why I'd recommend Now Massage.

My gf surprised us with a couples 1/hour massage. We were greeted and led to our large room where…read morewe both got ready for what was a fantastic full body experience. Mine was a little more of a stronger massage, my gf didn't get the same style which was nice. I personally don't want soft touch but rather a sports massage with mid to strong pressure and my therapist understood without me even saying anything. However, let them know if you want a softer massage and I'm sure they will adjust. But overall great experience and looking forward to our next visit hopefully soon!

I was excited to try this place because of the good reviews. I've gotten a lot of massages during…read moremy travels and this one was pretty low. Initially when I arrived, the service was kind. But unfortunately my therapist seemed to be in a rush with every movement she did. I told her some of her movements hurt, she said sorry, but continued to put pressure on spots with her elbow(like on my ear, etc). I wasn't relaxed at all. Then, when I went to pay, the front desk staff chased me when I was out the door for more tip. Sad to say I won't be back.

My partner and I spent a lovely Sunday at Larchmont Sanctuary Spa to celebrate my birthday. The spa…read moreis tucked away right off Larchmont Blvd. They have only about 4-5 parking spaces right in front, otherwise you need to look for street parking. We arrived 15-20 minutes before our scheduled service and were kindly greeted by the front desk staff and shown to the locker room. The locker room has 2 bathrooms, 2 showers, lockers, and various cleansers and products to use before/after service. We then went into their "relaxation room" waiting area before our service started to wind down and fill out the massage intake forms. It was like a cozy living room with couches, lounge chairs, a fireplace, and refreshment bar with spa water, iced tea, and hot tea. I liked that the form asked questions like how talkative you would like your masseuse to be, if you have any injuries/tender spots, and preferred pressure firmness. My partner had booked us the "Escape Together" package which included a 20-minute copper bath and 60-minute couples massage in the outdoor cabana. The bath was totally relaxing and the jets turning off signaled the end of our 20-minute soak. We returned to the relaxation room where we were greeted by our masseuses Rachel and Lana who guided us to the cabana. We were prompted to choose our preferred essential oil for the aromatherapy concept. Lana provided a very relaxing massage for me and was very sweet. I would have enjoyed firmer pressure but I think it was my fault for circling "Gentle" on the form. I usually go to more budget-friendly Asian spas where their default pressure is usually quite rough. My partner said she enjoyed her massage with Rachel as well. After the massage, they brought us some iced tea and let us know that we were welcome to use the dry sauna and encouraged us to stay hydrated. We spent about 10 minutes in the sauna before ending our time. I greatly enjoyed my time here. The spa was clean, relaxing, and every single one of the staff members we interacted with were wonderful. I would highly recommend a visit here for individuals or couples.
