Andrew is AMAZING! I went in for a deep tissue and lymphatic massage. I slept for straight 12 hours after the massage. He is not only passionate about his work but you can feel how genuine he is about the well-being of his clients. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!! read more

had the best massage ever from Maya yesterday. I've had several health issues, lost weight, and my muscles have deteriorated. Maya's strong competant hands and intellgent fingers knew exactly what to do. This was not just a massage of different body parts. Maya was able to provide a wholistic, integrated massage. My calves said hello! to my arms like they were seeing old friends after a long time. Just what i needed! I will be back to see Maya on a regular basis read more

Let me start by saying that Luciana was absolutely amazing for the lymphatic drainage massage. She was knowledgeable, kind, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the session. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk left a lot to be desired. I've attached screenshots of our text exchange, where I was asked three separate times to change my appointment time. It was incredibly frustrating and felt very unprofessional. At one point, I almost canceled because of how disorganized it was. Another issue was the pricing. The website clearly states $80 for the massage, but in person I was charged $100. That kind of inconsistency is misleading and disappointing. The ambiance was just okay... nothing fancy or upscale, more of a basic setup. Because of the poor communication and the pricing issue, I honestly do not think I will be returning, which is a shame given how great Luciana was. read more

I have had 2 sessions for a 60 minute massage with Andrew. He is a TRUE professional and takes pride in his craft. Hands down best massage therapist and massages I've ever had. I'll continue to be a repeat client. Highly recommend read more

I cannot recommend Nastasia highly enough! I have had several facials with her now, and each session is an absolute joy. What sets Nastasia apart is her incredible technique and deep product knowledge. During the cleansing and massage phases, my skin feels amazing--perfectly stimulated and tingly. She strikes the perfect balance of a firm and gentle touch, ensuring my skin feels thoroughly cared for without ever being overly worked. In fact, during my last visit, the massage was so heavenly that it's the last thing I remember before drifting off. When I woke up, I felt incredibly relaxed. Nastasia truly knows my skin type. Whenever I ask questions about the products she uses, she provides insightful, detailed explanations and tailors her recommendations perfectly to my needs. If you are looking for an esthetician who is both highly knowledgeable and deeply skilled, look no further than Nastasia! read more

Cristiane was incredibly welcoming and kind. I went in for lymphatic facial and left with that and a full body lymphatic. She was able to squeeze me in. Super accommodating and made sure I was good throughout. Left feeling BRAND NEW! 10/10 coming back! read more

I've been going to Katia for a long time now and she is just the best. I always leave feeling amazing and with glowing skin.

Ask for Dora! She did an amazing deep tissue 90 minutes massage on me and I feel amazing! She is very strong and skilled at what she does and afterwards all my pain was gone and I fell asleep for the first time in the massage table. she's great and this place is a hidden gem in Culver City if you just want a good massage and no frills. read more

I live in the area, and this is the perfect day spa for my family--convenient, affordable, with friendly service and no hassles. I recently went for a 90-minute deep tissue massage, and it was a fantastic experience. The room and bed were super clean and felt new. The ambiance and music were great. While the walls were a bit thin, there wasn't much outside noise, so it was still peaceful. The check-in process was quick and easy, making the whole experience smooth and efficient. They have a small, welcoming waiting room with refreshments if you want to relax before your appointment, but you can also arrive just five minutes beforehand for a quick, seamless visit. They make it really easy to purchase gifts or packages, which I appreciate since my wife also loves this spa. read more

Wow I just realized I've been coming here for 5 years now! It speaks to the consistent quality of the massages I've had at Escape Day Spa. I go to the Culver location usually, but sometimes i go to Playa if I want to book a particular masseuse. Both places are always clean and welcoming, with a very professional atmosphere. The quality of the massages is frankly amazing given the price. I signed up for their emails and keep my eyes out for discounts - every little bit helps. I go about once and month and definitely see a major improvement in my overall wellbeing, from stressed out shoulders to shooting sciatica pain, regular massage keeps me feeling my best. My current favorite is Denis, but I also love Marcela and Drew. read more

Friendly staff greets you at arrival, small entry space with pleasant music playing and a nice soothing aroma. Seems decently busy yet I was able to secure an appointment a day in advance so call! overheard customers who are leaving saying they really enjoyed their services so that was reassuring. The aesthetician came and introduced herself and lead me to the room. It was clean, neat and organized with a very comfortable treatment bed that had a soft warm blanket. Katia was super friendly, eager to please and very experienced. I would definitely return and request her as the aesthetician. Free parking lot makes it convenient. Had a little snafoo using a Groupon, so make sure to understand what you're getting before you render the purchase/service and communicate it with the business. Overall pleased. read more

Had an amazing lymphatic drainage massage with Marilia. Felt a zillion times better after it. She really took her time to get to the root of the issue. Pricing is incredibly reasonable for such a great service!! Don't let the exterior of the building fool you, this was way better than places that "look" much nicer. read more

I booked a 60-minute deep tissue massage on the same day. I'm so glad I did! Marcela did an awesome job - the massage was firm and she focused on my neck/shoulders, as requested. The aroma therapy at the end was a nice touch. The spa is clean and comfortable. Insider's Tip: Spafinder certificates are accepted. They are often sold at a discount to face value, so you can save a little bit on the massage. read more

Today I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Mara Garcia. This was the best massage I have had in years! The body work she did on my glutes and hips was incredibly impressive! I have been searching for a therapist that can really do deep work and I am so happy to have found Mara! I'm so happy I already booked for next week! That's how impressed I was! The spa itself is small and not fancy. If you are looking for a spa experience like Burke Wililliams , this is not for you! Lucky me, that does not matter at all to me! I want the work of a therapist that knows and listens and Mara is that! The spa is clean and plenty of parking! This is a hidden gem and I will be coming back regularly for Mara! read more

I had a lymphatic drain massage. It felt so good! I will definitely go back again! I booked my next visit before I left the spa

This is my favorite local day spa to go to. Everyone here is wonderful, it's no fuss, great treatments, and a wonderful calming environment. All the masseuses I've gotten have been lovely. Highly recommend escape day spa if you're nearby one! read more

Found this place on Yelp and booked a massage right after getting off a flight. Mara Garcia is a VERY talented masseuse, feels like I found a gem, so glad I found this place! Highly recommend. read more

I've been to this location in the past for massages. I recently returned for a facial with Katia. I had a great experience and just upgraded my Silver monthly membership to Gold. She took such good care of my skin with deep cleansing extractions, microdermabrasion, and provided professional advice on skincare. Because of Katia's professionalism and expertise, I decided to join Escape Day Spa's monthly membership. I highly recommend Escape Day Spa and trusting them with your skin and body! Thank you!! read more

Chelsea, at the front desk and my massage therapist, Raphael, were both welcoming, positive, and professional. Love the on-line booking. I booked a 50-minute massage, lucky to score an evening spot last-minute. Raphael was great, provided an excellent service and I left feeling calm and refreshed. read more

I came across this gem while trying to kill time before my flight. A massage has been long overdue on my self-care list, and I'm so glad I found this place. The location was very cute and offered a tranquil vibe, which was perfect for relaxation. They also had great add-on enhancements--I added the hot stones, and it made the experience even better. Rafael was my massage therapist, and he was one of the best deep tissue therapists I've ever experienced. He applied the perfect amount of pressure and provided the ideal combination of deep relief. I'll definitely be back for a longer session. Highly recommended! read more

I may have come on an off day but this was the worse massage I've ever had. I was tempted to ask the massage therapist if she even had a license, it was like a comedy except I was left with a crick in my neck the next day. The daddy long legs on the wall and no paper towels or hand dryer in the bathroom was the cherry on top read more

First facial ever and it was amazing !! exactly what expected, relaxing, smelled good and very very gentle. thank you to katia very gentle.

I had the best massage ever, today was 20 percent off. I made The appointment to see Mary. Oh my gosh, I have been coming Here for a long time. I have to say, she is so good. She Found every Spot that was hurting me. I didn't even have to tell her. I have fibromyalgia So my body hurts.she made me feel so much better I really do recommend Escape Day Spa, they are The best. read more

Great spa!! Been coming here for years. Always great service. Always clean. Friendly therapists who know what they are doing read more

I wasn't planning on a massage, but my plans for the day changed. Can I just say how lucky I am that Ronaldo (unsure of spelling) just happened to be free to accommodate my last minute request. That was one of the best massages I've ever had! Stong, yet also gentle, very well-trained hands!!! He made sure to check in that the pressure was good each time he changed body region, which is great since many massage therapists overlook the fact that people often have different regional sensitivities. Leaving this review is, in part, selfish; I want to ensure I remember who to ask for the next time I come. But also, predominantly to tell y'all that this man DESERVES your business. He's excellent! read more

I was in dire need of a massage from a stressful and busy couple months at work being in a tight scrunched up position when I sleep with it being a cold season. I was in the Culver City area looking for a good massage place. Let's just say I'm so happy I found this spot with good ratings so I called. The girl at the front desk was the nicest and listened to my concerns. I was used to getting massages from female therapists, but only males were available if I wanted to be seen right away. I would say it's meant to be, I haven't had too many great experiences with male therapists in the past, especially when they massage using their forearms and it's hairy and feels weird. She made sure to tell my therapist not to use his forearms and he listened. His name is Dennis (I think that's how you spell his name) and he too listened to all my needs and knew exactly what he was doing. His flow, energy, and the way he checked in to see if I was ok and liked the pressure, or if he could use an elbow. After 10 of working on me, and me not wanting much pressure on the lower back, he figured out I had sciatica and I never knew!! I will absolutely be back to see him! So grateful that I came in and got Dennis as my massage therapist. I feel so much relief and relaxed. Also happy to know that with a bit of stretching on my end and seeing him more, we can work on getting rid of the sciatica. read more

I had an excellent 80 min massage today from Drew! He was so skilled and despite my husband booking a Swedish for me as a gift.... He was able to accommodate my deep tissue needs and combined some fantastic stretches. I'll be back to see him next opportunity. He has Great energy too. This was my second visit and I def rec.it. Clean and peaceful. read more

Had a lovely time. I got a 90 minute deep tissue massage and added a stone massage. It was very thorough. My joints were hurting from a bit too much tennis over the last week and they were very mindful of my pain. Personally I haven't had a lot of massages so I don't have much to compare it to. It's a simple atmosphere nothing too over the top and it really was just what I needed. read more

I LOVE Escape Day Spa! Such a great therapists! I'm a client for over 2 years and highly recommend massage services to all my friends and family members read more

Great place for a quick massage. I got a deep tissue massage and it was really good. The lady really knew what she was doing.

The place is unassuming, but I was in need of a massage stat, and they were able to accommodate me. I had a massage with Drew and it was excellent! He was very attentive to what I asked for and checked in on pressure of a few times throughout. I felt exponentially better after my massage with him. Highly recommend him if you've got muscle tightness and need a deep tissue (or likely any type of treatment)! read more

I booked an hour long Swedish Massage with Marcela and absolutely loved the service. Escape Day Spa is welcoming and clean. I will definitely be coming back for another massage and recommend anyone looking for a little relaxation to do the same. read more

Have had the microneedling done here about 7 times. Katia is the best. Efficient and caring. Always feel relaxed and taken care of. Great location in a pocket of culver. Hidden gem. read more

I was looking for a massage place and this one caught my eye. I scheduled a one hour deep tissue massage and I was so impressed. Dennis did an amazing job in getting rid of all of my knots on my neck and tense back. The prices are affordable and the service was great. It was worth the drive from the SFV. I will be back and I highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend this place. I have been coming to Escape Spa since early 2024. I love the membership option. Katia has been doing my facials for the past 5 months and she is AMAZING. Great results. Laurie is excellent she provides the best massages. I always look forward to my monthly appointments. Thank you for your services! Tyra read more

Highly recommend Denis; by far the best massage I've gotten in LA! He adjusted pressure to be more intense (perfect), is an attentive communicator, and has a really chill vibe. I got a 60 minute deep tissue massage because I have a lot of tension in my upper back. I also left notes when booking the appointment about shin splints. Before the massage, I pointed out my back soreness when he asked if there was anything he could focus on. I was impressed that he also made a point to ask about the shin splints. He really spent the majority of the time on these two things -- exactly what I needed! Throughout the massage, he checked in a few times about comfort level (he didn't do it too much; it was just clear that he wants his clients to communicate how they're feeling). He also gave me tips after the massage to ice my back, and gave me two stretches to do at home. Thanks so much Denis & Escape Day Spa! read more

Long story short: - massage therapist had long and sharp nails that hurt - horrible customer service - long wait time (40 minutes) - tried to scam me into paying extra - tried to massage injured body part - language barrier that impedes service I really wanted to like this spot, but they've made too many errors and created lots of problems that were avoidable. I know everyone makes mistakes, so I gave the spot two chances, but it isn't working out. For one, the first massage therapist had horrifically long nails that scratched me. It's common sense to manage your nails if you're going to massage people, so not sure why this was an issue. Second, her music skipped and lagged, which ruined the serene environment one normally expects at a spa. This wasn't a huge deal, so I just let it go. But then she also didn't work on the body part I specified. I mentioned this to the receptionist after the massage and she said their office doesn't receive info from the intake form. If this is true, why don't they ask on the day of, on location? Of course the client would expect relevant answers (such as area of focus/injuries, etc.) asked on the form to be relayed to the massage therapist. The receptionist tried to make up for it by offering me a 30-min massage on the same day. I told her I had work soon and asked how long the wait would be. She said 20 minutes, so I sat and waited, but it took 40 minutes before I was seen again. I ended up being so rushed to work that I didn't get to eat anything that day until almost 5 p.m., which was very unpleasant and unhealthy. Despite that, I decided to book again with someone new because I understand people can have bad days. The second time was today and the massage therapist tried to massage the part of my body that I told her was injured. I spoke up about this to both the receptionist and the massage therapist, plus the area was in a soft cast (visible bandages from my doctor). Not only this, but her phone went off. I asked her to silence it and she said she did, but it was vibrating. I'm not sure she understands that vibrate and ringer are two different functions of the phone. This went on for a while and she even acknowledged it was her phone. She also didn't massage my face, which is standard for a 60-minute body massage. I asked her about it and she said every massage therapist has their own technique. While I agree each massage therapist may differ slightly in their approach, skipping an entire part of the body doesn't make sense. She said some people don't like having their faces touched, which could be managed by asking each client if they have any spots they don't want massaged. That's part of their job, after all. When I brought this up to the receptionist, she said the massage therapist silenced her phone, which suggests the massage therapist brought up the issue while I was getting dressed. It was a defensive argument rather than one that apologized for the problem. On top of that, she tried to charge me $15 extra for no reason. She then asked if I wanted to leave a tip, which made no sense because the signs in the rooms specify NOT to do this. I asked her about it and she said it's just a preference, which suggests the company takes their employees' tips-- yikes. Overall, I would stay away from this spot and save yourself the time, money, and hassle. read more

Every single time I've been here I've received the most amazing massages and excellent customer service. I keep coming back. Love this place. Cheers! read more

Do not book your services or appointments online. The online appointment system is outdated and doesn't accurately display prices and specials. Go ahead and call or walk in to their friendly and out-sanding customer service! Treated my family to a spa day and they enjoyed their experience here. My mother definitely came out with the trendy glowing "glass skin" effect from her facial. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

My friend recommended I get a massage here with Flavia and I absolutely loved it! I have chronic headaches and have very bad tension in my neck and shoulders. Flavia focused on those areas as requested and really worked out my tension and knots. Flavia was very personable, sweet, and professional. 100% coming back! read more
