    My wonderful hubby booked the hideko experience for me as my Christmas gift so I got to enjoy everything Hideko has to offer and relax after the crazy holidays. Service - The staff was friendly but firm. She was really sweet to offer valet to park my car for me, but firm in terms of saying what time I need to leave the room by. I wonder if it's a Japanese culture thing, but anyhow, loved the hospitality. Here is the breakdown of the events and my rating. THE HIDEKO EXPERIENCE (180 min. $400) 10 min Foot Ritual (5/5 - very nice) 50 min Facial Treatment (3/5 - I would've skipped this) 50 min Massage Therapy (5/5 - very nice, had a great therapist) 30 min Body Scrub (2/5 - very unpleasant, not luxurious) 20 min Spa Bath in Private Suite (5/5 - very nice, wish it were longer) 10 min Private Shower in Private Suite (3/5 - very rushed, no hair dryer) 10 min Refreshment (5/5 - lovely cheesecake) All in all, I'd average my experience to a 4/5 because while the body massage, refreshment, and spa bath were great, the shower, body scrub, and facial were not so great. I liked that I had a private suite with a nice tub, light thin robe, very intimate space. But for the body scrub, it felt very rushed, borderline painful, and overall unpleasant as I was on a trash bag looking thing--very slippery. I also wouldn't get the facial here again. Another thing that surprised me after the shower was that they had no hair dryer in the entire spa. If we are supposed to shower, we are expected to leave the spa with our hair dripping wet, and that was a huge miss for me. I had a dinner engagement right afterwards so it was really unpleasant and awkward. Those were just some of the low points, but the high points were the detailed hospitality from the beginning and in-between at the events, like the adorable candle and message on the cheesecake! Loved eating the cheesecake dessert in the hot tub--absolutely heavenly. They also gave me a cute keychain souvenir after the entire experience. I wouldn't do the body scrub, facial, or shower here, but I'd come back for the dessert, body massage, and bath tub experience though. Excited to try Tomoko next!

    Very calming treatment of couple massage. The place is clean and traditional if you look to have a great experience.

    This spot was incredible. My girlfriend took us here for Valentines and they made the whole experience very relaxing and even gave my girlfriend a rose and us both a slice of cake with a candle lit in it. We also were given tea to sip. Other than being the perfect date spot, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a soothing spa day (men or women). We did the massage + body exfoliating scrub and we felt brand new after showering it all off. They gave us a full side by side body massage, and you can let them know the focus spots if you'd like. They then follow up with a full exfoliating body scrub and they scrub your whole body. That was about an hour experience, then they gave us 30 mins to shower/get in the bath tub together and get dressed (all private). The massage, bath, and shower are all in the same room, which makes everything very relaxing and no need to move into different areas. The service was A1, very kind and polite workers. You can park in the back, you just need to give them your keys as people may be blocked in. You can also park on the street if you'd like.

    I had a wonderful experience at Hideko spa. We were immediately greeted by Ari, who was friendly and sweet. She had us fill out a preference form where you could choose where you'd like the massage therapist to focus on or avoid. Then, we were immediately escorted to the massage room. I noticed how clean and calming the room was. I booked the couple 100 minutes massage, which included a foot therapy, full body massage and free shower. I get of massages and this was one of the best so far. The therapist knew where to relieve tension on my body! They were also sweet and constantly checked in on us. At the end, they gave us a cute birthday cake with a happy birthday song playing on the speaker for my partner. Highly recommend!!

    By far the best massage I've ever received ! Pricey but so worth it! I loved evvvvery bit of it. Started with a foot wash, a deep tissue massage, then a bath with a birthday treat & that tea was AMAZING! Very nice, very pleasant, highly recommended

    This spa was quite interesting to say the least this place is a lot pricier than your normal places, but it is cheaper than tomoko. It seems like it's Japanese owned and the owner here is very sweet and attentive. I got the massage and body scrub. The massage was just OK. But the thing that really got me was the body scrub. They make you lay down on a trash bag while they scrub your body. It's so uncomfortable your sweat and the oil gets stuck to your body and it is just not a luxury experience. The room has a car button so when you're ready you can pass it or when you need something you can also press it which is nice they have Japanese skin care products for you to wash. It was also nice that they offered tea and cake at the end of the session. Again, I think I'm going to many luxury spas. I was kind of shocked to see that they use trash bags for the body scrub portion of it. The tub but there is super small, not big enough for two people and I am a tiny person so that is saying a lot! There is parking in the back and they ask you to wear slippers inside.

    Simply zen. This place transports you to another time and place. From the first step in the door to the last sips of tea, the staff is able to help clear your mind of immediate concerns. Thank you for the opportunity to quiet the noise of the day.

    My best friend and I were super excited to book two Hideko experiences after seeing a TikTok about this place, but unfortunately, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment. We reached out via the text number listed on their website, and from the start, the person we were texting with was unbelievably rude. When I pointed out that their tone was uncalled for, instead of apologizing, they just said, "weekend scheduling is very busy" - as if that's an excuse for bad customer service. I tried to address it by suggesting they shouldn't offer a text option if they're going to rush potential clients and be so unprofessional, but their response was to tell me I still needed to call and provide a card to lock in the reservation. So why even offer texting if it's not a full-service option? To top it all off, the person then changed the name of our text conversation to a different language, filled with red X's. After translating the text using Google Translate, we were SHOCKED to find out it said, "you fuc**** Bit****." I have attached a screenshot for reference. This is the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced. I cannot believe a business would treat potential customers this way. Definitely won't be giving them my money, and I'd strongly advise others to stay away as well.

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - since we were staying overnight for Valentine's Day due to a concert, I figured instead of leaving to go home right away, we should take advantage of being in the area and have a couple's massage before we head back - initially wanted to experience a Korean spa but it appeared that we wouldn't be able to be together - we'd be separated by our genders - next best thing was Hideko Spa and since we had never been to a Japanese spa before, thought it'd be a nice experience to try out in the very least THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on Wilshire Blvd in between Wellesley Ave and Amherst Ave - street parking on Wilshire Blvd as well as small tandem parking (up to 6 spaces available for Hideko) in the rear accessed via Amherst Ave THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - we parked in the rear tandem parking lot and entered from the back entrance - we saw that there was a restroom to the left and a hallway of shoji (Japanese sliding doors) which were the massage rooms; at the end of the hallway was the front entrance/lobby - prior to checking in/starting our services we each used the restroom which was very clean, modern, and simple - inside of the massage room was a shower and bathtub in the rear, a sink and cabinet on the left, and 2 massage tables on the right (with a thin disposable paper sheet like the doctor's office); everything was very modern, clean, chic, simple - on the sink counter was an air purifier (we actually have the same one at home!) which was in dire need of a replacement filter (as indicated by the red light on the top), a clock, remote (I think for the lighting?), a doorbell (to press when you were done undressing from your street clothes and changed into the spa-provided robe), and various toiletries (shower caps, hair ties, cotton swabs, soap, lotion, etc.) - inside the cabinet to to the right of the sink was space to put your street clothes in; the upper cabinet had very plush fabric which we weren't sure were robes or blankets CUSTOMER SERVICE: - I checked out the website once deciding we should have our couples massage here for instructions on how to book - ended up texting the number provided, which provided ALL the information needed to book as well as parking information, etc. - text confirmation reminder was sent prior to the appointment, which was nice - after we parked we were greeted outside and instructed to enter from the rear entrance - prior to entering our massage room, we were asked to take our shoes off (no problem) and leave it at the shoji - like any other massage place, they give you a clipboard for you to fill out prior to your massage taking place - we were instructed to remove our clothes but leave our underwear on, and wear the robes they provided (brand new in plastic packaging) - because we hadn't been to a Japanese spa before, we honestly didn't know what to expect - the beginning of the massage started off with a slight massage of our feet and calves after being briefly soaked in lukewarm water in a tub they carried in; a cube of powder soap (smaller than bouillon; like how some gum are) was used to massage the feet and calves (definitely not a generous amount like the scrubs applied when you get a foot/leg massage at Vietnamese nail salons) - we were asked to lay face down on the massage tables as they began working on us; the entire process was moreso like how I imagine a Thai massage would be like - I was surprised when I realized they started climbing on top of us to put their body weight as pressure on our backs and crawling very slowly so we can feel their weight on us - the pressure was good, but we didn't feel the same level of relaxation as with other spas (in terms of warmth - blankets, heated pads, warm hands, LOTIONED hands) - after the massage we were given 10 minutes to shower, which was the first time we experienced warmth since entering the establishment - we were then led to the front lobby to enjoy tea, cheesecake, and a complimentary rose - after paying at the front lobby, we were guided to return to our car, so we weren't allowed to really check out the products in the lobby - we did ask if we could keep the robes but were told by the owner? that it would be an additional $100+ charge each robe (we found similar, if not the same robes on Amazon for ~$20 each...) - the lady who greeted us, provided us the post-massage goodies, appeared to be the owner was VERY nice; super warm and welcoming

    Cheese cake was soo delicious

    This place is 10000/10 totally recommend. We will be Coming back for sure. The Hostess was soo welcoming, so sweet and took really good care of us. It's my husband birthday today and let me tell you it's hard to please this man but today he said "you did good" lol the massages were the best thing we ever had. The facility is clean they had relaxing music. At the end the hostess had tea and a Cheese cake that's to die for ready for us. She sang happy birthday and gave him a rose now come on talk about service. I want to thank all the ladies at Hideko for making my husband's day soo special, and for once making him love my surprise.

    This is an oasis in the middle of LA. The Massuess was extremely skilled , I had a prenatal 60 min massage and a 60 min organic green tea facial. It took away all the dust this dessert weather gave me and left me relaxed and refreshed ! Will always visit when I'm in LA next

She made sure I left feeling my absolute best. At the end, she reminded me to hydrate and even gave helpful guidance on how often I should come back. They also provided a refreshing mint, water and a towel after the session, which was such a nice touch. Overall, the entire staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. I've never had such a great first experience at a place like this. I will definitely be back and highly recommend the 90-minute deep tissue massage!

The massage was not good - it was basically just someone rubbing a lot of lotion on me, and it felt like no massage techniques were used. I asked for stronger pressure at one point and they gave about 5% more effort for a few minutes. Based on the reviews, maybe I just got a bad masseuse - but you only get one first impression so each service should be good quality. Aside from that, all of the staff was nice. They could do some small upgrades to the space to make it feel more cleanly, like repainting the walls as they seemed to have quite a bit of scuffs/damage/dirt. The valet parking situation is also quite annoying. It doesn't feel necessary for the plaza, and the validation provided from the business does not cover the length of 90 min massages so you end up needing to pay $5 for parking.

She checked in with me multiple times throughout which I appreciated. Overall I had a good experience here and would recommend if you're in the area.

The therapists are on a rotation of some sort so it may be difficult to schedule a specific person unless you decide to schedule a few days ahead. Having different therapists is fun though; each worker has their own style. You might get a couple's room by yourself or a standard room. No heated massage tables but that's usually fine. The temperature is comfortable and there's ambient music/nature noise sounds playing. In terms of customization, you can more or less say what you DON'T want but saying where to focus doesn't lead to much extra on the trouble spots. To be clear, the best of them will give you a massage you'll actively hate (unless you're a masochist) and if you get a particularly strong therapist you'll be sore the next day. However, after that you will feel limber and pain free for a bit once the DOMS from having your muscles kneaded like dough go away. Three notes: if you park early enough and the valet guys aren't around just toss the orange cone to the side. The bathroom is a separate part of the building and they'll give you a key. Buy the gift certificates--flat rate and if you buy ten massages you get two free; you must use them all in a year from the time of purchase. TL;DR the worst you'll get from here is a satisfying massage and the best will make you feel like your muscles and joints just got rejuvenated by a couple months. Heavena is a bit more pricey than some of their neighbors but the therapists put in the work and if you don't say they made you groan or try to shift away some I'll either call you a liar or assume you have a back made of concrete.
