I have been to many Korean spas and I must say Hugh Spa was by far the best massage and body scrub experience I've ever had. My masseuse was amazing. You could tell she was very thoughtful with her touch and technique throughout the entire session. She was quiet, professional, and gave the perfect amount of pressure during both the massage and scrub, especially on the pressure points. Everything flowed so smoothly and felt incredibly relaxing. My 1.5 hour massage honestly felt like 2 hours in the best way possible because I was so relaxed and immersed in the experience. My skin felt incredibly soft and rejuvenated afterward. I especially loved the hot honey milk she poured and massaged all over my body. It felt absolutely amazing and made the experience feel extra luxurious and calming. Although Hugh Spa is on the smaller side, it still has enough amenities to enjoy and unwind. The only thing I wish they had was an ice bath, but they do have an ice room which definitely helps. Also, the front staff was very sweet, welcoming, and kind from the moment I walked in, which made the experience even better. Thank you Hugh Spa for finally making me believe in massages again. I will definitely be back! read more

I was able to call and reserve a massage package while I'm late in my pregnancy. The front office lady was also able to recommend me a different package based on what exactly I wanted and she let me know the red light wasn't good for pregnancy. The ladies doing the scrub and massage were very helpful and gentle and asking if I felt okay the entire time. I went while I was almost 34 weeks pregnant and I am happy they offer their services to us still. read more

It was my first time visiting this location. Upon arrival, one of the staff members explained what to expect during the experience, although I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation of the different rooms and their benefits. She did let me know that guests have access to enjoy the available rooms during their visit. The interior design was very cute and visually appealing, with lots of mirrors throughout the space. Filming is not allowed, which is understandable given the privacy of other guests. I purchased the $150 package, which included 90 minutes total: 30 minutes of exfoliation followed by a 60-minute massage. The package also included a hair wash and a face mask. The massage was definitely not gentle, but they did an excellent job working out tension and knots. I especially enjoyed the stomach massage portion, which was surprisingly relaxing. The only negative aspect of my visit was that, at times during the massage, I noticed a slight odor that seemed to be coming from the drains or water system. Fortunately, it was only occasional and did not affect the entire experience. Overall, the staff were friendly, and I had a positive experience and would come back again to try other packages. read more

Hugh Spa - Entrance - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Its with a heavy heart I write this review. I used to love this place. However, This is the second time I feel the service's were not up to rate charged or kindly requested upon check-in. Today i spent about $300 on a gold slimming wrap package and it was 100% not worth it. Same experience as last time and i had high hopes it was a one off. Nope. When I arrived i asked that the person checking me in if they could please focus on my belly and thighs bc im losing weight and need the attention there. I am by no means overweight but I try to keep my skin looking good. The desk folks acknowledged that request. My scrub was ok and took less than 30 minutes. That should have left about 1.5 hours for the wrap, mask and massage. That part was slightly shorter at an hour and 20mins but what didn't happen is what I requested-she primarily focused on my back even when i asked her directly to please work on my legs and belly. I got a 3 minute per leg/glute oil massage and a quick two minute belly massage. Im so upset that my reasonable request ignored. Twice. And i paid a lot of hard earned money on top of it. Id be better off at a local massage place for a quarter of the cost. The wrap was OK but when i first started getting them about a decade ago, they were way better in terms of length of time you were cocooned in the warm blankets with the solution and they used to wrap your belly and thoroughly massage your limbs and belly afterward to ensure you got the full diuretic effect and sign tightening. She worked 80% on my back. All the while you can hear every customer being checked in less than 20 feet away and when they walked me to the room in my robe and nothing else there was a guy sitting on the entry couch talking on the phone. Say what?! So no peace or quiet, no decency or privacy at a women's spa, no attention to customer satisfaction or requests and no respect for long term customers or our money. WTH. Im pretty upset and i feel ripped off if im honest. read more

I've been to many Korean spas. I prefer women only places and the service here is so much better than other places. I purchased the glow booster massage and added on lymphatic drainage. I was literally told I was 'glowing' after going here. I went in feeling tired and tight and left feeling relaxed and soft. I went on a Tuesday afternoon so it wasn't very busy. I took my time showering and using the steam room and mugwort tea and salt bath before my treatment. I had Kathy, she had very strong hands which is what I needed! But she checked in on me frequently to make sure it wasn't too much. I didn't have time for the salt sauna or infrared sauna but both were clean and well maintained. Full disclosure: if you're not comfortable with nudity. Or you want a more chill/ clothed massage this is not the place for you. If you're serious about body and skin care and you respect the spa etiquette, this place is a dream! Tip is not included in the price but Kathy more than earned her tip. Still feeling great writing this the next day. read more

My favorite spa place. Second time here. Everyone is kind here and it feels so relaxing and homey. I enjoyed my massage and my massage therapist, Suzy, worked on a lot of my muscle tension in my back. The food at the kitchen was delicious! And the chef was so kind and sweet. Coming here heals me. All the rooms are great, especially the jade steam room. Parking is super easy in their parking lot. Would come here every week if I didn't live so far. It's always worth the hour drive though. read more

I recently went to Hugh Spa and got the 30-minute Korean body scrub and 60-minute massage, and honestly it was one of the best treatments I've ever had and I get massages pretty regularly. The woman doing my treatment (unfortunately didn't catch her name) was amazing and the overall experience was incredible. Before my scrub, I spent about 30 minutes in the steam sauna, which I'd definitely recommend because it helps prep your skin and gives you the best results from the scrub. The body scrub itself was definitely an experience. If it's your first time, don't go in expecting it to be super relaxing because it's pretty intense and certain parts can feel rougher than others. But the results are absolutely worth it. My skin has honestly never felt so smooth and soft. All of the dry, dead skin was completely gone afterward and my skin felt unbelievably clean, hydrated, and refreshed. The spa itself is a little smaller than some of the other Korean spas I've been to, but it was still very clean, nice, and had all the essentials like the sauna, Himalayan salt room, and other relaxation rooms. Spa entry is included with your treatment purchase, and you could honestly spend the whole day there if you wanted to. There's also a traditional Korean kitchen inside that had really good food. Overall such a fun experience and definitely worth trying at least once. read more

This was my first time at a Korean Spa, and I was absolutely BLOWN away. For only $125 (The Purification), I had the most mind blowing scrub & massage. TMI -- there was literally dead skin all over the table after the scrub -- I felt like I had shed the 1st layer of my skin! I couldn't stop feeling how soft I was afterwards! Not only was the massage amazing, but they also included a mini facial and hair wash! Whaaaat?! Afterwards I had hot barley tea and tofu soup at their restaurant, which was yummy. In terms of the amenities, honestly I felt like all the rooms were relatively the same, just with different themes, so next time around I'll probably give myself 30 minutes to use them. My favorite amenities were definitely the hot tub & steam room (which you should use before your treatment to open up your pores). Keep in mind, Hugh Spa is an authentic Korean spa. Ambiance-wise, it's simple. No frills. But it has become my favorite form of self-care and a place I recommend to all my friends and family. read more

I had the absolute best time at this spa! It was my first time visiting a Korean spa, so I was super excited to spend the day here with my friend. We ended up exploring all the different rooms for about an hour before our scrub/massage appointments. Honestly, I could have spent even longer just wandering around and def will allocate more time next time. The salt room was definitely my favorite, it was very relaxing and calming. The clay room was a close second, and the sauna was an awesome way to open up our pores before the scrubs. When it was our turn for the body scrubs, they separated us into different rooms. The scrub itself was very thorough, not a single inch of skin was left untouched lol. There was a lot of body folding and moving around (and the table does get slippery!), but my scrub technician was always making sure I was balanced and comfortable before adjusting me. After the scrub, she rinsed off all the dead skin and gave me a wonderful massage using honey oil. I left feeling completely renewed, fresh, and at peace. I honestly wish this place was closer to where I live because I'd be here all the time. Until then, I'll definitely be making a stop every time I'm in LA. read more

I kept coming back so yelp asked me to leave a review Seriously love this place. Always super nice staff. Treatments here are so worth it. I've only got acne treatments and lymph drainage.

​ BAM! Found my new happy place! ​Seriously, where has this Korean spa been all my life? How did I not find this gem sooner? It's the perfect spot for mother-daughter time! Age 9 and up. Even though it's a smaller place, the variety of rooms is incredible: they have Jade, Charcoal, Infrared Magnet, Himalayan Salt, Ice, and Oxygen rooms, plus a Tea bath and Salt bath. The place is impeccably clean--seriously, bring socks and you might feel like you could ice skate across the floor! ​We treated ourselves to the body scrub and a massage, and it was so relaxing. Just remember to book your services ahead of time (they ask for a credit card to hold the spot). They also have a cute cafe, but note that it's only open Friday through Sunday. ​Pro Tip for Parking: They have a small lot, but if you're staying for the spa, aim for the spots closer to the street curb. To guarantee a good spot, try to get there before they even open, or you'll be hunting for street parking! Stay hydrated while you're there! read more

Their salt scrubs are amazing! They give you a thorough scrub followed by a massage and facial. They also wash your hair and massage your scalp. The mineral bath is very soothing and the jade steam room is wonderful. The salt, infrared, clay and oxygen rooms are fantastic and you can cool off in the ice room in between. Tip! Order early if you're hungry, the wonderful lady who cooks the food cooks all dishes from scratch and they are well worth the wait. read more

I came here for a girls day with a friend after contemplating it for months! I'm so glad I chose Hugh Spa - it was absolutely an experience! My main concern going in was having to shower in front of other people, but when I saw how free everyone was I got a sense of comfort and did my thing. I cannot even begin to explain how lovely it felt after showering and rinsing off with the mugwort tea! Afterwards, we hit up each room starting off first with the sauna, then the ice room for a little contrast therapy. And that was our pattern thru ought - the clay room, then the ice room, salt room, ice room lastly the infrared room and of course the ice room to end it with a bang! The receptionist was extremely kind and the ladies thru out the spa were also kind and helpful. Though we only came for the amenities pass this time, we will definitely be coming back for a service, I'm thinking a full body scrub next time! read more

I went here with a friend for a girls' spa day, and tried this place for the first time, in contrast to the big co-ed spas for a different change of pace. I enjoyed it and would come back. It's very small and intimate, women's only, and relaxing. The cleaning staff are always on top of taking care of the room while I was there, and the wet room staff know what they're doing. I got a body scrub massage, and felt like baby smooth skin after. Recommend to come earlier in the day to find parking easier! read more

I was looking for a Korean Spa in LA and found a lot with mixed reviews. Hugh Spa seemed to have better ratings. I've only been to one other Korean Spa and they are similar in that you are thoroughly scrubbed by a middle aged Korean woman! They don't have online booking but they do post their prices online. I called and made an appointment and they didn't even need any credit card information. I chose their Summer Gem Ritual which consisted of 90 minutes Gem of the Earth (scrub and massage), 15 min of either lymph, hand, or scalp massage, and a collagen mask, for $205. This was such a good deal! My body was scrubbed so hard and I saw all my dead skin. It also consisted of a hair wash. When you check in, they will give you a locker key, a large towel, a smaller towel, and a robe. You also receive a scrubbing towel if you are getting a wet treatment like I did. When you reach the glass doors, you have to take off your shoes. Go to your assigned lockers and undress completely and put on the robe. No swimsuits and shoes allowed inside. They have most of the rooms labeled with steps. Step 1 is to shower. You grab a white basket just outside the shower room and put your towels in it and carry it around. In the shower room, there is an also a hot tub as well as a shallow tub filled with tea water. You can use the tea water to pour over your body for detox. Step 2-5 consists of different rooms - steam, clay rooms, and infrared heat. My favorite was this clay room where it's a bunch of clay rocks with a mat on top for you to lie down on. It was so relaxing. There are also rooms for in-between rooms or services - oxygen and ice rooms. They have a small cafe for food that wasn't open when I came. But they have hot barley tea available for self service. My criticisms: They are missing small amenities like hair ties and clean or disposable combs/brushes. Also would be nice to have sunscreen. And my masseuse/scrubber massaged my chest more than what was needed. It was a very thorough scrub and a true full body massage, but really not necessary to massage my breasts. Still worth coming and trying their wet treatments. read more

Haiku: Cafe at Hugh Spa Hugh Spa's food cafe Relax and dine in your robe Homestyle comfort foods. --- I love coming to Korean spas, and the dining experience at Hugh Spa is always a relaxing experience. What's not to love dining in robes while eating Korean comfort foods? This spot reminds me of a mom & pop type place, where your mom or auntie is a one-woman shop. She takes your order and cooks her family's recipes in the kitchen. My cousin and I enjoyed the Rice Cake & Dumpling Soup and Bibimbap. Sometimes, the wait to get your food can be long, though. read more

First time here and got the Purification spa service, which is a scrub and massage combo. For 70 minutes, I was pampered with an amazing body scrub, massage, facial, and even had my hair washed with a gentle head massage! You are in a room with other people, but you just forget about it once your treatment starts. Best scrub I've had in a long time! I also tried the vsteam which is an extra $40 - it was an experience but worth it. I did sweat and my stomach and lower body area felt so much better after. The spa is small but it wasn't too crowded when I went, so I was able to enjoy the other rooms without waiting. The Himalayan salt room and oxygen rooms were my favorites. I didn't try the cafe, but the food looked delicious! My only suggestion is to bring some disposable slippers as you have to walk barefoot. I will definitely go back! The staff are very nice and friendly too. read more

Hugh Spa - Photos of being ignored for almost a month by Hugh Spa yet she edits her review in order to try and get her yelp rating up - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

- Service: Body Scrub - I finally booked a wet room service. Currently it's $75 for 30 mins, and you also get access to all common areas. Arrive 30 mins early so you can shower, soak, and sauna. My service was with Grace and she scrubbed EVERYTHING. It felt amazing. She washed my face as well. (Hair washing is optional.) My only feedback is that even though the room temp is set to 80° it still felt a little cool after leaving the sauna. - Payment / Tips: When you arrive and check in you pay for your service. If you have any add ons while there or food, you pay before leaving. You can tip after services (card, Venmo, or cash). - Hours: They open at 9am officially, but doors open at 8:45am if you want to get there a bit early. I came at 9am this most recent visit and it was very empty so I enjoyed most rooms alone. read more

Thank you for the complimentary service during my visit on MLK Day. I appreciate the gesture, though I wanted to share some honest feedback about my experience. My appointment started **30 minutes late** with no explanation, and the process felt disorganized. (At first they said only 10 minutes delayed.) I was also told afterward that I should've returned my locker key on my way out--something I wasn't informed of at check-in, and wasn't posted clearly. As a guest, I had no way of knowing. I understand busy days happen, but clearer communication and punctuality would go a long way. I hope this feedback helps improve things for future visitors. read more

Wow. I came in last night really a bit nervous for my first body scrub and Diane was so kind and caring. I felt well taken care of and felt so relaxed upon leaving. My skin feels so soft and healthy. I wish I arrived earlier as I'd have stayed longer and I do wish I came on the weekend to try the restaurant out. Very clean, great amenities and I loved that it was small and women only. Also, my hair is so soft and incredible after the hair mask and washing my hair in the filtered showers and mugwort. Will definitely be back!! read more

Hugh Spa - Post spa - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is my favorite spa in Koreatown by far. My favorite massages to get are The Cure & the Lavender Lush body scrub/massage. There's usually not much traffic of people when I go, which I love. My second favorite thing is the food that is available. There is a sweet woman in the back that makes traditional Korean food. read more

This was my second visit here and we came early Friday morning. No parking attendant at this hour but there was also minimal street vendors outside at this time. We only made our appts for scrubs over the phone but when we arrived, my sister and I were interested in trying out one of their massages. They were able to accommodate day of and was able to get us in for our scrubs earlier. Massages follow immediately after the scrub. Scrub - I didn't get the hot milky oil splash at the end this time, I thought maybe it's because I'm going to the dry massage immediately after and perhaps the oil would not be good for lying on the dry bed. However, I learned that no one in my group got the Milky oil splash... Not sure if this was a standard or not just that last time we went, that milky oil left a lasting impression on me... It left my body glowing! Deep tissue massage - I was pretty disappointed to the point where I was thinking... Is it almost over yet? Definitely not a deep tissue massage in the traditional way. It was at Best, an elevated foot massage? Like the full body massages you'd expect at those Chinese for massage parlor. The spa bed was nice and soft but I did notice the linens weren't all white. Not sure if it's stains or just used? There was a heating pad under, but I was already very warm so I asked them to turn mine off. I can see this being very nice if you were cramping. Also, because it was immediately after the scrub, do use the restroom or get a drink of water before hand if you can! I needed the restroom and was felt so dehydrated during mine that could've also contributed to the anxiousness of wanting the massage to be over. I would only come here for the scrubs and spa amenities. Pass on the massages. Food is always very comforting! If you are in a hurry, pick a food item on the middle row. Those will generally take her about 10 mins to make. Everything else ranges from 17-25 mins. The more varieties she has to make, the longer or will take her. read more

After having some really crappy experiences at some Korean spas, I decided to take someone's advice and try this place. I can understand why she recommended it. first and for most as a larger woman, They actually gave me something that fits and that is a huge bonus. It's really hard to go to places as a bigger person and have them give you tiny little clothes that you have to wear. I'm not having a service. I'm just using the wet room and taking a shower on my own but everything is very nice and clean. People are friendly. It is a smaller spa and there's only one hot tub that fits about four people they have mug wart pool that you can scoop mug wart out and put it on your body. Did I mention they have a parking lot with free parking and that it's only $30 to use the spa. That is a steal. I'll be back for sure. read more

One of the receptionists who I booked my appt with on the phone and who checked me in was super nice. The one when I was leaving was alright, not overly nice. The place is super clean and they seem like they're constantly maintaining it, which is great. You take your shoes off once you leave the reception area. I did see two women who had put their shoes next to them at the area with mirrors, blow dryers, lotion, etc. I wish they would enforce not having any shoes down on the floor in that area because not really fair for the rest of us walking around barefoot. They show you to your locker and you put your stuff in there and fully undress and put on there cute pink robes. You can explore the diff rooms (Himalayan salt, near infared magnetic, clay, jade steam, etc) before or after your appointments depending on when you get there. They suggest you arrive 15-30 mins before the appt so you can check in and settle in. There's food you can order but looks like only on weekends. I went on a Wednesday and had called to request an appointment for a massage and facial. They were able to book me for a couple hours later. I got a 60 min Swedish massage. They massage you with a sheet covering your body for the first half and then oil massage without the sheet for second half. I would've preferred oil massage the whole time, so I'm glad I know for next time. The 60 min hydrating facial was nice and relaxing. The esthetician would spread stuff on my face then use tools to massage it around, sometimes with the steam machine on. I was so relaxed / didn't get enough sleep the previous night so fell asleep lolol. When I woke up there was a mask fully on my face. Not sure how long that portion is. I think I'd go back and try to facial that has milk and honey. The rooms were cool to go in as I'd never been to a jjimjilbang before. You have to be naked for the shower room which includes the hot mineral tub, an area where you can pour mugwort water on yourself, and the scrubs. But otherwise, the remaining rooms you wear your robe. There's free parking in the lot. They don't offer a birthday discount. Worth a shot asking though heh. I believe Queen Bee in Culver City gives you 10% off for your birthday month. read more

Hugh Spa - Exterior. Go up the stairs to go in. - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The service I did was the $30 spa amenities, no appointment. Nice place to unwind, calm environment, clients keep to themselves. I only removed 1 star because there is one Hispanic cleaning lady who kept saying stuff to me and watching me every room I went and would tell me I left my towel when it wasn't mine - like stop bothering me lol. Other than that, the front desk staff are nice, I enjoyed the mud pit the most, the mugwort bath water smells nice, and the little Himalayan salt bath tub is relaxing. I've only gone during the day when majority of people are at work so it's not too busy. It is a smaller spa, but I like how it's women only and has parking. Parking lot can be sketchy/crazy-looking if you're not used to LA lol because there are lots of tents at the entrance of street vendors selling clothes/jewelry/food. read more

Nice, clean and a lot bigger than what I thought inside. This is my first time and I did not get a walk through, like most massage places do, the receptionist charged my credit card, gave me a towel, a robe, and a key, with a number attached, said they would call my number when ready and pointed down the hall for me to go "that way", and take off my shoes before entering the locker area. I wish they would have provided slippers for us, but oh well. ‍. They did have a very nice lady, Luna, sweeping the floors constantly. Inside the locker room there were many rooms for you to use and a description of what it can do for your body. The cold room, the salt room, the clean air room, infrared magnet room, mud room, wormwood healing room, saunas, steam rooms, you name it! They even have the steam vaginal room, (I have to try that one day ) I got the 75min deep tissue massage today with Jennifer. Jennifer was great! Strong! She got in there, but don't expect her to be gentle, she strictly gets the job done! I definitely will come back. My massage was $135, which is a great price, plus use of all the facilities. read more

Every time I visit Hugh Spa, I remind myself how much I really enjoy visiting this place and how I should come at least once a month. Fast forward a year later and Its on my New Years resolution list. LOL guess it's better than nothing. Come on a week day, if you can - ample parking and no one around. Bring a book or something to keep you occupied and get your monies worth stay longer than 2-3 hours and do yourself a favor and get a wet massage! Nothing has changed, the customer service superb, always clean and when I come pretty quiet - except the newbies that love chatting it up like you're not at a spa. If that's you..... go to Wispa, it's like a party in there! Anyways nothing new, except maybe updated food pricing. They only offer food Fri-Sun! Enjoy!

Hugh Spa - Cute robes to wear in the dry rooms! Love their aesthetic! - Day Spas Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This spa has declined significantly over the years. After visiting for over 8 years, I've noticed a lack of spa etiquette among recent visitors, which has negatively impacted the atmosphere. In the past 6 months alone: -I've seen several women FaceTiming in the locker room, including one spreading her legs open and exposing her genitalia to the person on camera. -Another woman was FaceTiming a man in a room where others were changing and some fully NUDE, I knew the call was with a male because her conversation was on speaker at full volume. -Hair wads are left in dressing rooms, and towels and baskets pile up, creating clutter. (Apparently no one uses the baskets or trash labeled for these things.) -There are now women who arrive in friend groups only to treat the spa like a café, having loud conversations and disrupting the calm ambiance. -Some people wear underwear in the wet sauna, others sit directly on the surfaces, without robes or towels,which is extremely unhygienic and a breeding ground for bacteria. This lack of basic cleanliness is unacceptable in a spa setting. It seems social media has attracted a crowd that doesn't respect the spa's purpose. As a small spa, it's now overcrowded, with people packed into rooms, speaking loudly and ruining the peaceful environment. You're practically elbow to elbow with these kind of people. read more

I will not return to this place due to serious cleanliness issues, I'm shocked by all of the positive reviews. The receptionist was very friendly over the phone when I made my appointments and when I called to confirm the week of my visit. The spa is located in a strip mall in what looks to be a kind of sketchy part of town. The front desk girl wasn't rude but definitely not friendly or welcoming. They don't provide you with any sandals or slippers so everyone is walking around barefoot from the locker room, spa rooms, bathroom, shower, etc.. any other spa (Korean or not) I've ever been to provides footwear. Athletes foot and foot fungus is very contagious, especially in warm damp areas like the showers. In the shower area they have your regular stand up showers and an area with showers that are low to the ground that have a detachable shower head, in this area they have these white plastic seats you can sit on which don't get cleaned between uses which is disgusting considering they get reused from person to person after coming into contact with your bare private parts. The hot tub is very small, only three people can comfortably fit at a time. While I was in the hot tub I was looking at the tile and surrounding areas and they looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while. They have an "oxygen" room with mats you can lay on and again, these mats don't get cleaned between uses. The oxygen room was just a dark room with colorful lights and an air purifier from Amazon, it was honestly laughable. I got a massage which was pretty nice, the masseuse was sweet and made sure I was doing okay and comfortable with the pressure. Unfortunately during the massage she went from massaging my bare feet to massaging my face... again after I had been walking around the spa barefoot along with everyone else who had gone from the bathroom, shower and all throughout the spa - pretty disgusting. I loved the Himalayan salt room but it was hard to relax in there. The little cafe area is right outside of this room and a worker was sitting out in front of the cafe chopping cucumbers the entire time so every few seconds I would hear the knife hitting the cutting board over and over again. While my mom was coming to join me in the salt room she said the worker dropped a cucumber on the floor, a customer was right there and picked it up and told the worker she'd throw it away for her but she told her don't throw it away, she still will use it. I would not return and would suggest you look elsewhere if you're looking for a clean and relaxing spa day. read more

I love this spa! I've been a couple times and it's always been very clean and relaxing. Everyone who works there is so sweet! I like that it's a little bit more boutique, so the experience doesn't feel overwhelming. That being said, I've never had to wait to use a room or the tub. I love getting their scrubs and hanging out for a couple hours going through the rooms. My favorite is the ice room! Always a great experience here and I would definitely recommend it. read more

What a great Spa. I came here for my birthday which was in January. I received the best massage and facial. The customer service was excellent. This is a "women"only spa. If men want to use the spa they can receive a service (massage, facial, etc) and not enjoy the amenities of the spa such as: saunas, showers, clay rooms, ice rooms, etc. I love that it's women only. Upon entering, you receive a robe, locker number with locker key and towel. You must take your shoes off prior to walking into the spa area. Inside the spa, you have several lockers, a vanity mirror with all of your necessities (bring your special necessities), showers, saunas, spa rooms, food/eating area, v-steam and sitting area. My daughter and I like to come early so we can feel relaxed all day. Every room offer something different. You can read about the benefits of each room on the outside of each room. My favorite room is the clay ball room. I've fallen asleep in that room a few times. The clay balls are detoxifying. I also like the ice room. Side note: Although I like the "shoes off" policy, I think providing new "nail shop like" sandals will be an excellent option or a fee to add-on. Some parts of the floor be wet after people come out of the shower so it would be nice to have a sandal option. I will also admit the ladies that work there are constantly cleaning this place. Overall, I love this spa! It's not too expensive and it's like you're on vacation once you enter into the spa. You can bring a book or just relaxed the entire experience. read more

My daughter's choice to come here. I'm not from LA. Visiting from Seattle. We bought the general spa which include clay room, cold room, steam room, salt room, oxygen room, and mineral bath and tea water for body. Water cups and barley tea included. The front desk person was nice nd friendly. Gave us a key for the locker with bath towel, robe, and hand towel. Bodywash, shampoo, and conditioner included. No outside shoes in the locker room-need to carry it in and bare foot throughout the spa. I work in health care so this kind of gross me out. I didn't use the mineral and salt bath because of the same concern of germs. It did not look like it was filtering water or chlorine. I used my hand towel to sit in the steam and ice room. I wore my robe in each room except for steam room I entered all the rooms, except for the oxygen room. We were there for 3 hours. Used each room twice and ice room whenever we got to hot. Showered and got ready for dinner there. Brought our own face mask to use at the end. Parking free. It's busy lot with a parking attendant that was helpful. There was a lady with mental health issues talking to self and yelling by the stairs that we took to second floor where the spa was Despite my concern of going barefoot and germs. The spa appeared clean and kept tidy. There was a person constantly wiping, emptying laundry baskets, sweeping and cleaning which put my mind at ease. My daughter who lives in LA has been there before and told me that these were one of the cleaner Korean spas. read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon around 3/4 pm and it was pretty busy. The facility itself was really nice and clean. For $30, a max of 5 hours is super worth it! However since it was busy unfortunately there were some groups of people who were not following spa rules. There were instances of women who were naked in the hot rooms even though you are not supposed to take off your robes there, and people chatting really loudly in multiple rooms. Also saw one person who brought a phone into the infrared room even though it says no electronics aloud. I think it would be nice if the receptionist went over some general rules / guidelines when you first pay for the pass since it seems that a lot of people didn't read the website beforehand or read the signs all over the spa. I would come again and I think next time I would try a treatment as well, but I don't think I would come again during a weekend. read more
