The front desk girl is clueless. the place smell like mold and old furniture, it looks old and dark like you walk into a thrift store. I'm sharing this review to be transparent for future clients. I left a pair of sunglasses at the spa and informed them that I would return to pick them up after I had recurve a call or text that I had left them behind. As I was traveling for a few weeks. When I finally had a chance to stop by I was face with disregard, then I finally called since I didn't hear from the owner about a month later, I was told they had been discarded. Unfortunately, there was no notice given, and the conversation felt more argumentative than understanding. These sunglasses were sentimental to me, and while I understand that businesses may have policies, I was disappointed by the lack of care and communication around a client's personal belongings. This experience affected my trust and overall impression of customer care. A month is not enough to trow customer belongings away without calling them first and assuring that they'll stop by to pick them up and assume that they'll just be forgotten. This is not so much about the sentimental value of the sunglasses but about being respected and treated with dignity. I hate to have to leave a bad review for them as is sometimes I almost never like to do but given her mannerism and demeanor I cat let this happen to another person and to our community.

My own therapist was chewing a throat lozenge during the massage and even dropped it on me.

This was our second bad experience here, last time the tech scrubbed so hard we left bleeding.

Darron called me back to schedule our treatments after I left a message. The space is quaint and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The smells of all the products filled the room (but it's not overpowering). I had a botanical back cleanse with Onella. The scurbs, lotion, and mask felt luxurious all over my body. There's a steam part and hot towels occasionally that felt amazing. There is a small massage and feet treatment that I didn't realize and was pleasantly surprised. There was one part it felt like she was painting this silky lotion (maybe mask) all over my back. I was so relaxed I think I did fall asleep at one point. Onella checked in to make sure the pressure and everything was good. My husband had the 60-minute customized Swedish massage with Emily. She asked him his pressure preference and what he wanted and she did everything just perfect. It was so relaxing that he did fall asleep! I definitely would recommend going here if you're visiting Ojai!

I absolutely loved what she did then so, when I returned over this Fourth of July week Denise was able to book me for a cut, color and brow shaping. She usually books up 2 to 3 weeks in advance but because of the holiday, and the shift in scheduling, she was able to fit me in. So grateful! Denise is gifted and can look at a person and tell them exactly what's needed to make them look their best. I decided to trust her because my hair had grown really long and she knew I wanted to keep the length. She did some beautiful framing around the face and used product that gave my hair a really high shine. I couldn't be happier. She also taught me how to blow dry properly and how to use teasing and a roller to give my hair some volume because it's very thin. She also had time to shape my brows properly. Not only that she's a great person to have "girl talk" with! I highly recommend her and the staff at Glo West. You Ojai locals are so lucky to have her. Update 7/6/2018: A reviewer below insinuated that I was solicited to write a positive review. This is not true. Businesses ask clients to "yelp" them all the time. My experience at Glo West was positive in 2016 and again on my return visit this past week. I took the time to write the review because I was very happy with how my hair and brows turned out. Kudos to Denise, who used to manage the coifs of the Hollywood set, and knows how to make a person look their best.

She knew exactly where in my shoulders and back that I needed the most relief and put forth so much energy into releasing all of my built-up tension. When she initially said she has been a massage therapist for 40 years, I thought that for sure the exhaustion would have worn out her hands even just slightly, but I was completely wrong. She has more power and intensity in her body than anyone I've ever met. I knew Ann meant business when I mentioned having music or ocean waves on in the background, and she said I needed to concentrate and meditate. I've never had a silent massage, but then again, I've never had a massage quite like this before. I also liked that she put the control in my hands and emphasized that I'm running the show with what feels good and what doesn't. One hour was most certainly not enough time...though here I am, three days later, and the soreness (in a hurt-so-good way) of my Friday massage just kicked in! So I can only imagine with 90 minutes how I would be feeling! My friend had scheduled a facial with Mary at the same time and enjoyed her treatment as well. In fact, our self-care sessions were probably the highlight of our first-ever Lavender Festival weekend experience.
