    I HATE giving bad reviews to small businesses, especially ones in DTLA. Luxe Luminary Spa opened 1 month ago and has SO much potential to become a staple in the neighborhood. My experience last night was very questionable with significant improvements needed. I just want to start off by saying that staff is very friendly. They are Mandarin speakers so I was able to converse without issue. Luxe Luminary also uses high-end products like Dyson and Moroccan Oil from what I saw. I booked the 45-min scalp relief therapy via Vagaro and it sucks to say that I've never wanted 45-min to end faster. I've had scalp treatments and hair washes in Asia and LA so I know what to expect, and this was NOT it. There was no scalp analysis to see what I'm starting or ending with, or how to improve my scalp health. I put on a robe and sat in the fancy massage chair that didn't seem suitable as a hair wash station. It rotates and leans back into the wash bowl. My shoulders and neck hurt because it's not very comfortable after 10 mins. The service was extremely mediocre as the lady seemed very inexperienced in what she was doing. It was just mostly brushing, shampooing, and random massages around the head. Shampoo bottle fell into the wash bowl splashing water everywhere and comb was dropping on the floor. The temperature of the water was so hot that it was burning my scalp and I requested to lower the temperature. For whatever reason, it was always too hot or too cold, never a comfortable temperature. After the wash was done, the chair lifted me back up without my hair wrapped up, so all the water was dripping down the back of my neck. The chair also had a life of its own and was just rotating and leaning backwards with me on it. Lastly, I was not expecting a full-on blow dry at this point, but damn, my hair was not dried at all. Stepping off the chair, there was water all over the floor. I felt like a total mess and just wanted to go home at this point. See picture of what my hair looked like after leaving the place. It's so frizzy and unkempt..... This morning, my scalp still felt really sensitive from the burning water. I'm sad, but glad I also got free snacks, drinks, 10% off, and a complimentary sound speaker from Luxe Luminary lol.

The ladies were very nice and the lounge is very comfortable with a nice vibe to get you in the mood for a spa treatment. Definitely recommend an appointment as it seems appointments fill quickly.

    I'm really sad as I was hoping to enjoy this place expecting a high-end spa/massage experience…read more(especially at this price point). Unfortunately this was a complete miss. There really aren't any spa amenities and the locker room is a bit grungy. Once you get to the co-ed communal area, it has some tea and water where you wait for your masseur or masseuse. It was a little too warm and unfortunately my masseuse was late (still setting up the room). Once in the room, the masseuse didn't communicate, not even asking if there was anywhere I wanted to focus on or if I was comfortable. This led to the massage being not great. I had to keep asking for more pressure and the most pressure provided was actually on my feet rather than anywhere else. I also hated that she went from my feet then straight to massaging my face and head! It was more of an uncomfortable experience rather than enjoyable. This was also a VERY expensive experience so it's quite unfortunate that this was what it amounted to. I won't be back.

    ALL THE ONE STAR REVIEWS ARE VERY ACCURATE! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME/MONEY HERE!…read more The one thing that all the one star reviews have in common is that the therapist do not show up at the time or at all. This happened to me where I waited in the lobby for 20 minutes trying to get a hold of front desk (which they don't have). The staff at the hotel let me know that this happens often and there wasn't anything they could do. I gave up waiting and went back home. 3 hours past my originally appointment, they texted to reschedule. I rescheduled deep tissue massage the same day and confirmed with them the time. I go there for the second time and to your guess no one is there AGAIN. James was my massage therapist and I started to raise concerns of James qualification as a licensed massage therapist. I've had many massages and the way he undraped me was very inappropriate. It already made me feel uncomfortable. Not to mentioned, he left a bruise on my back the following day! My friends are massage therapist and they said the muscle he was working which is where the bruise is located- is a tender spot. You are NOT suppose apply a lot of pressure in that area. I also asked him to perform a different method because all of his moves were just the same repeated simple movements and he proceed to the same simple movements any average joe could have done. In another instance, he used all his body weight towards my body that was way too close to my bottom rib. I honestly think I was going to go home with broken ribs..I was really confused what kind of massage I was getting.. This isn't the WWE?! I didn't find the massage to have any technicality to it just the same o' movements. I was in touch with Eva, who seems to be the owner of Faris, and told her my experience at her spa. I mean the lack. of. customer. service. wow. She tried to argue that the bruise is not from the massage. Nothing was resolved in our conversation. I would NEVER recommend a spa like Frais.. not even to my enemies.. Save your time and money, folks. There are a lot more spas in DTLA and Ktown worth your while.

    This was a decent Thai massage, although I have to admit I'm comparing it to a Thai massage I had…read morein Vegas that was so good that I've been chasing that feeling ever since . I had a 60-minute massage here with Nina. The massage itself was good and I left feeling relaxed, but it just wasn't quite the same level of therapeutic or memorable experience as that other massage. Nina was also coughing a bit throughout the appointment, which made me wonder if she might not have been feeling her best that day. The price was $70 for 60 minutes with cash, and they recommend at least a $15 tip. I left $20. Overall, I'd say it was a perfectly fine massage and I'd give it 4 stars. It may have just been an off day, so I'd be open to trying them again with a different therapist.

    What an amazing, much needed experience. I came here based on reviews and asked for someone a bunch…read moreof reviews mentioned, but they were unavailable. I was a walk in and didn't have time to wait. I instead got Saline, who was AMAZING. She truly listened to everything I told her, made her presence known throughout the massage but not too much, so I was able to fully relax. I cannot say enough good things about this massage. The space itself was cramped and no frills and some of the pressure is on fellow GUESTS to keep their voices down (please keep this in mind!) but it has everything. The space felt clean and cozy. I went for a 1.5 hour massage which felt like a splurge because it was longer than I normally do, but their prices were so reasonable and I had just come off a very long work week that it felt needed. The massage was so incredibly relaxing and left me in a little bit of pain in a good way. I knew Saline had found a lot of my deep knots, so there was no way for it to be without pain, but every fit of it was so worth it. It was so relaxing and I left feeling 100x better than when I came in. It was a little hard to find because it's on a small strip mall, but now that I know where it is I won't miss it. Highly recommend this spot!

    The best massage ever for my chronic back pain. Eva is so detailed and knew exactly how to undo all…read moremy knots. I've been in three rear end car accidents and have severe pain in my neck, shoulders/traps, and shoulder blades everyday but my one hour therapy massage + hot stones with her was so healing. My fiance was next to me getting a massage by Henry and he said it was the best by far. We tried out a trendy viral massage salon we saw on Instagram and it was the worst massage we paid $300 for.. such a waste of money, not undoing any knots. So we saw a HUGE difference when we came here. It deserves so much more recognition and everyone needs to try this place and also support the couple. They just came to America 12 years ago and are working so hard and give each massage their best. We will be coming back here every time we need a massage for sure

But I want to leave an honest review so that Soya can improve and give transparency to those who may visit in the future. I get massages a LOT, so I have a lot of experiences to compare this to. I tried this place as it was convenient. The establishment was warm, I appreciate the AC was turned on once my session began, but it was still very warm and only cooled down a bit. The massage was not good. I was fully clothed (they provided an outfit) and the masseuse just rubbed, squeezed and pressed onto my body, there were no true techniques used to massage knots or even in a therapeutic or relaxing way. It was not what I expected, usually I have a bare back when I get massages. I don't think the gentleman massaging me is trained. It kind of felt like one of those half-effort quick shoulder squeezes my fiancé gives me while I'm sitting on at my computer and he's checking in on me. If you're looking to just lay there and kind of zone out, this might be the place for you. Maybe. But if you're looking for an effective and solid / real massage, I do not recommend.
