Nona is great! My skin always feels so refreshed after I see her. She does an amazing job every time!

Nina is a powerhouse! I love a firm massage, and she delivered! My whole body had been soooooo sore and stiff after moving to the area, and I swear she worked out every knot. She is super friendly, warm, communicative and responsive. And there's a beautiful, unique environment, as her space doubles as an art gallery! It's all a very magical way to take in the personality of the small mountain village experience. Go see her for sure if you want a massage - and facial - that's thorough and truly helpful. read more

I had a wonderful first appointment for a facial and boy oh boy, I was beyond impressed! Great pricing, experience and results! That's the trifecta! Cannot wait to return for my next facial (already scheduled) and my first massage. Highly recommend this gem! read more

Nona is awesome! She is a super addition to our IDY roster of wellness practitioners. I've had two massages with her and can't wait to try a facial/massage combo next. She has very positive energy and really strong hands. I highly recommend her!! read more

I went here through a living social deal and Nona was very accommodating with the scheduling. She said that as long as I book the appointment before the expiration day, the deal will still count, even if the actual treatment is way later. First let me start off by saying, like you might have gathered already, that this is a one woman show. Keep that in mind when you want to book an appointment for more than one person at a time. She can only treat one person at a time. Secondly, also keep in mind that there are no showers or extra razors here so you will need to make whatever preparations you usually make prior to coming here. read more

In Sept. 2010, I purchased a gift certificate from Livingsocial.com for a 30 minute facial and a 45 minute massage at Holistic by Nona. I paid $67, which seemed like a good deal. I checked out the yelp reviews online and they looked really good. The expiration date for the cert was 2/20/11. On Feb 7, I called Nona to schedule an appointment for my treatments. She informed me that since I (and many others) had waited until the 'last minute' to redeem the cert, she had no available times before the expiration date of Feb 20, but was extending it into March. However, she was offering only a one hour massage or facial..........my choice. She absolutely refused to honor the certificate for the treatments I purchased and was pretty pushy about it. I forwarded my comments/complaint to LivingSocial, and they cheerfully gave me a refund. (They are wonderful, and this is the only problem I've had with their service) read more

I just went to Nona a few days ago. I've now been to her a few times. Wow. I feel and look great. She tinted and waxed my brows, tinted my lashes and I received a massage from her a couple of months ago from her. This lady is real and authentic. She is professional and polite. And you know what? She is one of the few people in the facial and massage industry that is not sugar-coating the way she speaks to you. I feel like she would be totally honest with me if I asked her a question. And she would not be mean or rude at all, she would just be honest. In this town, we need that! Her sweet dog is a quiet, big, lump of love. If you are not a dog person, that's fine. I'm actually not really a dog person myself, but this dog is quiet, sweet and has personality. And he sits in the other room, so you don't have to worry about him getting in the way. And, the last time I was there, he wasn't, so it seems to be inconsistent when the doggy is there. Her room is warm, inviting, quiet and feels safe and also clean. I feel healed anytime to go to her. If you're one of the sniveling, stuck-up knuckleheads that got the sweet deal from Living Social and you are complaining, you have GOT to be a complete fool. If you want to complain that you didnt get your money's worth from the living social deal, it just shows what type of person you are in the first place. A cheap, P.O.S. who is most likely never satisfied with anything. Get a life. You already got a great deal and it's people like you who make places like this STOP giving deals. The review by Gary B. is idiotic. Hygiene questionable? Please. You don't even know what the name of the machines are. And you are tripping about what the website says? Call her. That is what WOMEN do to confirm things, boy. And you are obviously scared of her quiet, adorable dog. And it is a total joke that some of you say you are not high maintenance, because it's obvious in your review that you are! What a hidden gem of realness in pretentious LA. I hope she has great success but I hope the losers actually DON'T come back, so she doesn't get so busy dealing with clients that are obviously not of her caliber. I am going back for sure. In fact, I scheduled another 2 hour session with her. read more

I think I have been going to Nona for 3 or 4 years now. I go for the bikini wax every 4 or 5 weeks, and occasionally I get my eyebrows done as well. I must say, she does a wonderful job! The wax is always fast, easy, CLEAN, and thorough. Also, I have noticed that the wax she uses is amazing... it pulls the hairs right out, no breakage. It is good stuff!! I should not forget to mention that the prices are also sooo reasonable. It really does not get any better than this! read more

Nona is what you need in your life. I have been coming to Nona for years. Let's just say, I got a little cocky with my radiant skin. So much, I became less attentive to it for about a year plus; therefore my pretty glowing face just went down the drain (SAD - I KNOW) -- I recently gave Nona a call out of desperation (a month ago) and immediately started receiving compliments from friends about how great my skin looks. From now on, I don't care what is going on in my life, I will make time for Nona and my skin. She is the real deal! read more

I found Nona, like many, through a living social deal. What I like best is that I am there specifically to get facials as my skin needs help! She got right down to business- answered all my questions about my skin care routine, what I should change, what I should continue because it's working. I followed her advice and my skin is getting better! Not amazing yet, but it's no longer a nightmare and I can finally wear less makeup. She is also very happily working with my budget, giving me half facials and then giving me instructions on what I should do when I get home right after to continue the benefits of the facial until my next visit. I really appreciate Nona's style. Doing what works without fuss to get the job done! read more

I have been a client of Nona's for 8 years! I could not live without Nona's facials and massages. She saw me in my 40s and I now I am 53. My skin is youthful and well cared for because of Nona and the wonderful products that she endorses. She is intelligent, sensible, sensitive, humorous, and above all she cares deeply for her clients. She is the best facialist in Los Angeles. Her massages are divine. She is a skincare healer and terrific professional. Go to Nona and only to Nona! read more

I first learned of Nona back when there was a livingsocial.com deal and I am glad to say I have not stopped going to her. Nona is a breath of fresh her, she takes the time to address any questions you may have in regards to products, caring for your skin, etc. I can honestly say that my skin has improved drastically since I started to see her. She is very very good at what she does, she knows how to take care of her clients. I even have my husband seeing her and he even has noticed that he doesn't break out like he use to. Nona is a gem! She is so knowledgeable, kind and caring. Thank you Nona for all you do! read more

I had happily set up my fiancee with a facial. While she thoroughly enjoyed the organic products used for the treatment, neither of us will be returning for the following reasons: - Nona's website lists the treatment I was going to be paying for to be $95, but on Tuesday's it must be $110? She said: "oh, today it's $110" - there's a machine that helps open your pores, perhaps it heats the towel (i don't know what the process is), but it was not working that day. Could she not have told us? Could she not have given us a discount? Did the extra $15 I paid go to help pay for a new machine or to repair it? - her hygiene is questionable - leaving my fiancee alone in the room with her Staffordshire was a big no no. While he's adorable and affectionate, you never know a dog can snap. And that is not the likes of a chihuahua - more like a beast. read more

I have been going to Nona for facials for a year and a half. She completely fixed my skin. My dermatologist wanted to wait a few more months before putting me on accutane, and I figured I would give facials a shot. I started seeing Nona once a month for a facial and a peel. She told me it would take a week or so after the facial before my skin started healing itself. From that first facial on, my skin started getting better. The products she recommends are amazing. She doesn't push them on you, but she should, because they freakin work. I stayed on my prescription from the dermatologist and saw Nona regularly, and now MY SKIN IS COMPLETELY CLEAR. I mean not one blemish. Nona gets so much crap out of my pores when I see her that there is no way my face is going to break out. I get one or two zits every now and then, but I am able to catch it before it becomes a problem. I was able to stop taking my prescriptions without my skin breaking out and without ever having to take accutane. The only thing I take now is birth control to keep my insane hormones from screwing everything up. I now see Nona every couple months for a facial and I couldn't be happier. My skin was so bad I would have payed any amount of money in the world to make it how it is now. Thankfully, Nona is very affordable! Her office is located in the really cute Larchmont area. It's nothing fancy, just really welcoming and comfortable, which I prefer. Nona is not all about frills or high tech machines that jack up the prices at other spas. She knows about skin and nutrition, she's fun to talk to, she'll play good music and she will make your skin look awesome! If you want some fancy high priced place with a million clients that offers trendy treatments, go somewhere else. If you want a personal experience and your skin to actually get better, this is the place for you. read more

I look forward to these facials. Very personalized and reliable sessions. I can always depend on Nona to make me feel very comfortable and she focuses on helping you self remedy skin problems you may be experiencing. In my case it was acne. Her expertise is invaluable. read more

I don't know how Holistic by Nona keeps getting better and better! Nona is an amazing esthetician! My skin glows after I see her and I get compliments on it all the time. Nona recently moved to the Hollywood Hills. Now her place is even more intimate and relaxing than ever. Did I mention the FREE parking! I LUV Holistic by Nona! read more

I just went there today for facial and massage and it was great! Some places you just feel like you've gotten a rub down- but this massage completely freed my shoulders, back, and neck. She went into the deep tissue and worked out whatever kinks were there. I can't wait for a restful night's sleep! read more

i am a personal trainer and i work my body hard during my own workouts; and i take a beating while training my clients in kickboxing. i see Nona ever week for a massage and i can feel the difference when i miss a week. Nona has strong hands and works out all the kinks in my muscles to keep my body functioning at peak performance. i highly recommend a massage from Nona! i have also started getting facials for the first time in my life at her suggestion, and it has made a huge difference in my skin. she seems to be able to do just about anything. read more

Nona is a fantastic therapist with a super peaceful treatment room. I had a massage and facial and a bikini wax and all were superb. I will be driving there again all the way from Pacific Palisades! Nona is a gem with fantastic energy. read more

I have been a client of Holistic By Nona for 6 years. In reflecting on the services that I have received from Nona, it has become evidently clear that Nona has that rare ability to understand her clients' skin type and apply the right treatment and products to keep skin looking youthful, supple, clear and healthy. At 36 years of age, I am consistently told that I look younger and I know that the facials that I receive from Nona are to be credited. But Nona is more than a gifted esthetician. She can not only calm the skin and body but also calm the mind. I work in a politically-charged, stress-filled environment. I usually come to Nona feeling tense and anxious. The other part of Nona's professionalism is that she is balanced and centered and there to help you feel the same in both body and mind. I always leave Nona feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and re-energized. I enthusiastically encourage you to contact Nona for your skin care needs. I am loyal to any service provider who consistently delivers quality and I consider myself to be her permanent client as long as she remains in business. There is no one else here in LA I would ever consider. read more

I hate giving bad reviews - but I must. I got the LIving Social deal awhile back for a 30 min facial and 45 minute massage. The facial was fine - uncomfortable extraction process though. The massage was Horrible. Worst massage I have ever had. Ever. She talked through the entire massage and barely paid any attention to what she was doing. At one point she started working on my calves and I actually yelled out ' OW! Not good - not intuitive - not focused. I felt like she was giving me a mediocre massage because I had gotten such a great deal from Living Social. I will NOT be a return client. read more

Nona has created something of a refuge...a soothing and nurturing environment where personalized skin treatments are the centerpiece. This summer I suffered from a stubborn and persistent bout of cystic acne due to a medication I took. I had already began seeing Nona for facials about 3-4 months prior. Nona noticed the abrupt change in my skin, actually took the time to ask me what was happening, and created a new skin care plan for me on the spot. She helped me get me skin back on track by suggesting treatments actually worked (not just a bunch of ineffective treatments that cost a lot) and were customized for my skin type. She works swiftly and with purpose and always very thorough. I always feel a sense of relief when I leave her environment. Best kept secret on Larchmont. read more

Nona, Nona... where to begin? Since this is her first review, I suppose I should get some details out of the way first: Nona Harrison is a terrific one-woman show operating out of Larchmont Village, providing facials, waxing, massage, etc. It's not the kind of chic-chic, boutique-y, or Burke Williams-esque spa where you will find orchids, candles, and loads of employees milling about fussing over you; that is, the kind of place where you pay a markup for the impersonal treatment and posh atmosphere. The great thing about Nona's place is that it is perfectly relaxing, but no fuss. She knows that her strength in her business is *herself,* and the thorough and reasonably priced treatments she provides. This is what keeps loyal clients like me... well, loyal! I first saw Nona for a facial almost three years ago, in preparation for my wedding. She struck me immediately with her knowledge, calm, and compassion. Pleased with the atmosphere, treatment, and results Nona provided, I kept coming back. In fact, I can't dream of letting anyone else touch my skin! Nona is just as knowledgeable, relaxing, and sympathetic as she was during my first visit; but over the past 3 years, I have also had the privilege of getting to know her better as a person. Nona is just a fantastic woman. She has a killer sense of humor, and a wonderfully grounded, spiritual, and no-nonsense take on life; she takes the right things seriously, if that makes any sense. Let me put it this way: when I first started coming in, I looked forward to relaxing in a calm, pampered environment. But now, I look forward to catching up with this great lady! She is just the best! Also, I got my first massage from Nona a few weeks ago. I am an endurance runner, and I'd had some random tightness behind my knee and various other leg pains. After the first massage, I felt complete relief. I received another to follow up; and I believe that those massages, combined with more targeted stretching, were what rid me of that pain for good... who knows, maybe they even prevented a more serious injury from coming on! Anyway, massage was a whole aspect of Nona I had never experienced before. Now I can speak to her talent as both an aesthetician and a masseuse. She is just an all-around amazing healer, and a really special person. One more thing, on that note: Nona donated two massages for an upcoming silent auction for Team in Training, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's marathon training program that I participate in. So I am grateful to Nona not only for her great services and friendship over the years, but also for her recent generosity!! Thanks for everything, Nona! read more

Nona is truly the best. I received the living social deal as a gift from my sister 2 years ago and I haven't looked back since. Her facials have drastically improved my skin. I trust no one else except Nona. She knows my skin. She also has good skin so that speaks for itself. Nona is quite knowledgeable on products and knows how to cater to your skin type. Also, my sister saw my results and now goes to Nona religiously and not surprisingly her skin has only gotten better. I would recommend getting the peel added to your facial for an even bigger difference. read more

Nona is a cool cat. Her "parlor" is on the second floor of a quaint building that also houses a coffee shop and pilates studio. The place always smells nice and is very inviting... You feel like you're at home. She's very professional and after several visits with her, I feel very comfortable with her and can talk to her about pretty much everything. I've had facials and waxing done by her. The prices are reasonable, especially for the fancy Larchmont area that she's in. I trusted her to do my pre-wedding facial. Just make sure you do it at least a few days to a week in advance! Her wax is very smooth and is relatively painless. She's easy to get a hold of. I usually just make appointments via email and she responds back very quickly. She's a one-woman show who knows what she's doing. If you're early for an appointment, you can hang out downstairs at the coffee shop. read more

Since going to Holistic by Nona I have not only gained a new facialist and brilliant skin but a new friend as well. I look forward to my monthly visits and it is nice to know I am not the only one concerned about my skin. The price is right and the cozy ambiance allows me to relax each time. I would recommend Nona to anyone! She goes out of her way to give you more than just an appointment as she offers amazing smoothly recipes in her newsletter and always lets you know when she is available each week. This is helpful to those of you who have busy schedules and like to fit the appointment in when you have time slots in your week open up instead of a month in advance! read more

I've been coming to Nona for facials, massage, and most often, waxing, for the past year and a half regularly. Since finding her I have not felt the need to go elsewhere for said services. Not to mention she is a truly genuine and authentic lady who knows what she's doing. Furthermore, I enjoy going to someone who can keep it real and treats others as she expects to be treated. Nona is always a delight to visit with and as long as I am living in Los Angeles, I'll be getting all my treatments from her, regardless of how far I must travel. read more

Nona has changed my life! I went to see Nona over 2 years ago for a facial, and have never turned back. She has gotten my skin into such good shape! I had been suffering with breakouts and was so frustrated. With regular Nona facials, and a specialized regime that she prescribed, I now have people tell me that my skin is "glowing". That is a dream come true! Thank you Nona! read more

There are so many reasons why I love Nona. I've been going to her for facials and waxing for the last 3 years. Initially, I only came to Nona for waxes, but as the stress of my job started showing up on my face, I splurged for a facial. She is eternally patient and reassuring and I see an immediate difference from her facials. Not to mention the atmosphere is completely relaxing. Visiting Nona for a facial (and even a wax!) completely changes my attitude for the week. The experience is completely decompressing during a stressful workweek. It's to the point where Nona is a part of my budget/lifestyle. Her prices are so reasonable and the attention to detail is amazing. She is definitely worth the 'splurge.' Bottom line, I love Nona! read more

I had a few facials before going abroad to live and it saved my life a year ago!!! Nona is funny and genuine and knows her shit! Glad I'm back to savour my skin in her hands ;) read more

I've been going to Nona for a year or so, maybe even longer. I have to say that my skin is always glowing after a facial. I'm really impressed with the way my skin looks and feels afterwards! The vibe is chill and we normally have "girl talk" while my facial is going on... which I enjoy. Nona is great at what she does. The space is cozy with vintage furniture and eclectic wall art. As a bonus you can stop by Bricks and Scones before or after to pick up a treat! read more

Love Love Love HOLISTIC BY NONA!!!...a warm environment, and an even warmer person... Nona completely transformed my face! Thanks Nona!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo read more

Okay, so I decided to take a chance on a coupon I received through the Internet to check out Holistic by Nona. Guess what? LOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEDDDD IT! I am not normally a risk taker, but I was surprised in a good way. The outside was not a typical spa service salon, but the treatment, products used, and the character of Nona outweighed the decor of the exterior. I would rather pay the prices for the service and products used, rather than have half of that go to high rent at a shi-shi salon. If you want a straight shooter with great products, go to Nona. She is the real deal. No salesman gimmicks here trying to push products on you, but talk to Nona about your needs and what you may have issues with, and she will point you in the right direction, and not just about spa services either! read more

Best in the West for facials, waxing, massages, etc! On top of that, Nona is an amazing person in general. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an awesome experience and to be pampered. read more

When you get a massage by Nona, your body is actually transformed afterwards. Her touch is strong and deep and lasting. Her facials are also great. read more

Nona goes the extra mile to ensure that her clients are taken care of. Her waxing services are stellar and her facials are like no other. What sets Nona apart from her competition is that she really gives 120% of herself to each client and makes them feel like they are the belle of the ball. Nona is wonderful! read more

I have Nona for years and returned to her to start getting regular facials. From the 1st visit my face looked better, cleared up and supple. I have been getting non-stop compliments - I bought a package and I will continue to go see her regularly. read more

I really enjoyed my relaxing massage. I really appreciated how Nona explained each step and gave me tips on how to improve my skin texture. I have acne prone skin and my skin was in very bad shape but after facial by her, it is now day 2 and already clearing up. I love it! read more

Nona is AMAZING. I found her on Groupon and got a facial. I had never had problems with my skin until this past year and then started having bad acne, so I decided I'd better find a good skin care professional. After a going a few times, my skin has improved dramatically. She personalizes my facial each time and recommends products to use on my own, which have helped a ton. I love her holistic approach, you can tell she truly cares and loves what she's doing. She puts great care into her practice and her knowledge is invaluable. I highly recommend Nona. read more

I recently had my first facial with Nona and will definitely be going back in the future. She did an excellent job!! Nona is very knowledgable about skin care and skin care products and answered all of my questions about how best to maintain healthy skin. She was thorough, professional, and just an all around lovely person. I highly recommend Holistic by Nona to anyone looking for a great skin care specialist! read more
