Disclaimer: the gravel parking lot right next to their business is NOT in fact their parking and part of the residential homes parking right next to them so make sure you allow lots of extra time for parking (esp if you're coming on a weekend with Abbott Kinney traffic). Anyways, I have used Osea skincare for years now as I try and prioritize non-toxic clean ingredients and everything ive tried to date is so luscious and I legit want to eat some of the products they smell so good. Anyways massage was tucked in a very small room but really not an issue given I'm just laying down but Christina did and amazing job, gave great recommendations based on my personal skin goals and I will absolutely be back to see her. Additional the vibe is so calm and peaceful and cutesy when you go back to the courtyard and you get to rest and relax there before and after treatments if you like. A must stop for a "treat yourself" day.

I get a lot of facials and this is by far one of the best places I have found in LA.

She has done both my facials and my microblading, and I've always been extremely happy with the results. Her studio offers state-of-the-art treatments, including hydrofacials, LED therapy, and oxygen facials, and she always knows which approach will work best for my skin. What sets her apart is how customized and thoughtful every appointment feels. I've been to Burke Williams and Bliss-type spas, and those facials often feel very formulaic and focused on selling products, while Irina's treatments feel personal and results-driven. My skin always looks healthier, brighter, and refreshed after seeing her, and I would highly recommend her.

The results are worth every penny. I cannot recommend Ellie and Sass, and especially Megan, highly enough!

I stumbled upon Ellie and Sass on my search to find a salon that is welcoming. Saw the reviews on…read moreyelp and decided to give this place a try. So glad I did! My appointment went so well! I was surprised that they were open on Labor Day. I booked my appointment online, the process was simple and straightforward. I appreciate that their website has all the information you need from services to pricing - it leaves no room for surprises like at other salons. I was especially drawn to this specific salon for its quiet and lowkey vibes. I easily get overwhelmed at nail salons but this one was different- the staff was very welcoming and the salon vibes were very chill and relaxing - very inline with the Venice Beach vibe! I booked " The Works Pedicure" and it was great! I especially like the fact that they don't use harsh UV lights to dry the polish, the pedicure is air dried. I had no problem with the drying (perfect time to relax) , they also offer "Dazzle Dry" polish for an additional $10 if you do want your polish to dry faster. My pedicure looks great and my feet look refreshed. The main entrance to the salon sits on Glyndon Ave off of Venice. There is plenty of street parking in the surrounding streets. If you're looking for chill and mellow vibes, then this is the salon for you! I am Looking forward to coming back soon- I think I finally found my local go-to salon!

Covid review. It's crazy to think I've been getting my eyebrows threaded here for years longer than…read moreI've known my bf, most of my friends, longer than the time I spent in school. And they always come out great for my face. Not too arched, not too thin, just right. Recently they started taking venmo, but I think they are still taking cash/cc. Parking is usually ok on the street. There is a parking lot behind the store but to be honest in the like 8-10 years they've been at this location I think I've used the lot maybe 5 times since most of the spots are usually taken (and can be difficult to navigate). Easier to just park on the street since I'm usually in and out of there in 20 minutes tops.

2014 YELP 365 CHALLENGE - 268/365…read more I first heard about Space NK from YouTube beauty gurus from the UK. I thought it was a UK-only store for awhile...but then I found out that they had some locations in the US! I was excited because they carry some brands that I have yet to find anywhere else...particularly Oribe haircare. When I found out that there was a Space NK less than 2 miles away from my apartment, I HAD to go! This is a great location because it's an actual stand-alone store. Space NK has their own stations/booths inside some high end department stores like Bloomingdales, but this is the only location I can find near me that is actually a stand-alone store. It's located at the Brentwood Country Mart, which I often frequent for Sweet Rose Creamery on the other side of the building. There is a parking lot, but it is very small and cramped, and more often than not I have trouble finding a place to park. I'll admit that this is a very small store. The girls working there are super friendly and helpful and are willing to help you if you have any questions about their products. They carry mostly haircare, beauty, and skincare products. A few brands to name are Oribe (as I mentioned earlier), Lipstick Queen, Diptyque, Kevin Aucoin, By Terry, Bumble and Bumble, Clarins, etc. I only come here exclusively for the Oribe products, but I may look into some of the other brands in the future. Everything here is definitely on the higher end. I have purchased the Oribe Surfcomber Mousse ($37?), Oribe Apres Beach Spray (around $42), and the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray (around $42). They have a cool rewards program where for every $100 you spend you get a $5 rewards credit towards your next purchase! Also I think I may be getting a special birthday reward, but I won't know what that is until my birthday next month :P I got some samples of Oribe shampoo/conditioner so I can't wait to try those! Overall, definitely recommend this store for harder to find brands!

What a great store! Fantastic team ! and always surprises me!…read moreSince I have been shopping for a lifetime- I know what I want- takes A LOT to impress me( and teach me something new!) But in every visit, this store surpasses my expectations in many ways Rheana, the Store Manager and her team know A LOT about ingredients, best shades to pick, helpful techniques with color and skin care that give you the best results for you- how do they know all this? Best part: they listen and talk with you as if you are good friend! so refreshing- a true apothecary -this is THE place to shop

This is not an elaborate spa with changing rooms and a quiet lounge in the back, at least not that we saw. It's more like the chain massage spots - where customers wait in the lobby - but nicer. Rachel was a great massage therapist, applying just the right pressure for a therapeutic massage. The only issue was the face cradle. The pillow and cover kept slipping so at times thay my face was repeatedly pressing into the hard metal (or plastic?) bracket and we kept having to adjust. That dampened the experience a little bit. The staff was kind and welcoming.

Of course it doesn't have the selection of Sephora, but I hate that Sephora is an overwhelming number of brands competing against each other with their store displays. Also the Sephora girls always have terrible makeup and I don't trust most of them The woman working at Anais (and I totally forgot her name, doh!) is patient and very knowledgeable. She always gives me several options and prices when I need something. I bought a few different eyeliners and shadows to try. She actually recommended Callas eyeliner which is $12 and stays on forever, and I love it way more than my expensive brand name eyeliners. I love how they have the small Korean brands that you would never know otherwise. If you're Asian then you MUST come check out Anais. If you're not but you're interested in beauty products, you should come check out the alternative brands not found in most cosmetics stores. Then you can have that huge bowl of ramen from Santouka when you're done!

I occasionally frequented the Shiseido counter inside Mitsuwa over the last decade or so. It was…read moremuch more convenient than having to trek to the mall, look for parking and deal with the crowds. Unfortunately, my business with the Anais counter has come to an end. On July 21st, I purchased a powder foundation that I have been buying from Shiseido for well over 30 years. I noticed when I was getting ready for work yesterday, August 26th, that the product had crumbled. I called the store and was told that the product was not available and they would contact me in a few days when it was back in stock. This morning a bit after 10 am, I received a call from Diane. She asked me about the condition of the product to which I said it had crumbled, is not usable and I'm looking for a replacement. I mentioned that I had my receipt. She asked me how much of the product I used and I stated that I only had it for a bit over a month. Diane said she had to do an investigation so I offered to email the photos. She asked me to give her my cell number to which I refused and asked her to use my work number. Then she gave me the following email address which I confirmed with her twice before ending the call: santa.anaiscosmetics.com. I called Diane back after I received a bounce back and she was claimed that she had been consistently getting emails on that account but she was with a customer so for me to give her my cell phone to which I said "here's my office number." Diane called me but I missed her call so instead of checking voicemail, I called her back. She asked if I received her text. I told her she called my work number. She again asked me for my cell phone which I told her I don't share. She said she would be sharing her personal cell phone so it would be the same. I once again asked her to confirm the email address. She repeated it to me: santa.anaiscosmetics.com. I told her it's not a valid email address and maybe I would just stop by. She said she works from Tuesday to Sunday. After our call, I tried the email address Diane provided me again and received a bounce back. I decided to google the business and contacted the Buena Park office and was provided with the correct email: santa@anaiscosmetics.com. I sent my email with the receipt and photos of the product. I received an email response and a call from Diane asking again why I waited to report the problem to which I replied that I contacted them as soon as I was aware there was a problem. She said she was willing to replace the product out of her own pocket because she thought it just wasn't smooth. I reiterated that I reported it had crumbled and was unusable. Then she stated that they have no way of knowing where I've been, what condition the product was in, perhaps it had been exposed to extreme heat to which I responded that I work at a lawfirm where I am currently wearing socks and a sweater despite the warm weather outside, and my home is air conditioned and kept at a constant temperature level. Then under a veiled threat, she said she was trying to be "nice" and that they can pull surveillance to show when I purchased the product so I reminded her that I had the receipt which states when I was there and that is when I shared with her that I already filed a dispute on the charge with Chase and that I currently have a temporary credit on my account. All I was asking was for them to make the same accommodation that a Nordstrom, Bloomingdales or Macy's would where I could have easily purchased the product to which she said "those stores don't care about policies." I told her there's nothing else to discuss and for us to keep having the same circular conversation about her having to document our conversation, with her repeatedly asking when I bought it and why I didn't return it within the month was pointless. Since then, I contacted Macy's and asked what their policy is on defective cosmetics. They accept returns within a 6 month period of purchase.
