After the first session, I was 75% recovered! She's by far the best therapist I've had in a long time. Here are her skills: She is VERY good at finding trigger points. She finds them and destroys them. She has a deep understanding of how the muscular system works. She knows how long to put pressure on a trigger point. She's friendly and easy to talk to. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the session and would recommend her to anyone who needs pain relief therapy.

My masseuse, Barbara, really paid attention to the knots on my shoulders and made sure to address it throughout my back and not just my pain points. It helped me realized that everything was connected! It was truly a full body massage from head to toe and was really relaxing. The room is nicely dim with some light music and they were quick to get me in. They also offered me water/tea. There's a lot for parking as well, would recommend!

Thank you to Amy up front for making the whole experience great too!

I can't believe this place has so many five-star reviews. My experience was very disappointing and…read moremade me question the quality of the massages they provide. I'm not sure if it was just the therapist I had or if this is the standard for everyone. The massage table didn't even have a cover sheet, the massage oil was not good quality, there was no relaxing music, and the room was very small. Instead of feeling relaxed, I felt uncomfortable the entire time. Unfortunately, the massage itself was not good, and I left feeling like it was a waste of time and money. I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place based on my experience.

I haven't been back to Burke Williams for a long time. I finally decided to go back because I had…read moreheard from a friend how great their facials and massages were. I booked a Regenerative Anti Aging Facial 80 minute session priced at $390 with Lety. When I arrived, the entrance was modern with their skincare products laid out for sale on the side walls. The receptionist took my information, she walked me inside to give me a tour of the facilities. Everything was clean and spotless! She showed me the restroom, makeup area, and shower area which consisted of products such as makeup remover, q tips, cleanser, curling iron, flat iron, brush, combs, hair gel, hair spray, hair mist, etc. Everything I needed, they had. There was a jacuzzi, which was very hot, a dry steam room, a wet steam room, and bath tub area as well. I wish they had a cold room to balance out all the hot rooms. There were wet towels with aroma therapy, cucumbers for your eyes, and plenty of body towels everywhere. The facial I had was wonderful! Lety had magic hands! First, she applied different serums onto my face. It felt so relaxing as she massaged all the products on my face. Then she cleaned off all the dead skin. She applied vitamin c and hyaluronic acid on my face before using the derma pen for microneedling. It didn't hurt at all and just felt like sand paper rubbed all over my face. This is supposed to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and hopefully help with sunspots and pores. The next thing she did was use nu face, which is a device for lifting your skin. I'm in my 40s, so I really needed this procedure. This didn't hurt as well. The last item she put on my face was a face mask. It felt cool on my face and by this time, I was so relaxed. The other bonus items that she did was massage my shoulders, arms, legs, and feet, which is part of the package. When I went home, I had a little bit of redness, but not too bad. It is slowly going away. Overall, did I think the price of this facial was worth it. Definitely, but maybe it depends on the esthetician you get. Lety has had many years of experience, she is knowledgable, and she's good at her job. When I come back for another facial, I'm definitely booking with Lety again. One of the best facials I've ever had! I just feel like if you're going to pay a lot for a massage or facial, you want you're experience and time to be worth it.

worst massage in town. no lie…read more at least for my experience. i brought my girlfriend here for a couple massage for her birthday. 90 minute couples massage. first five minutes was mild at best. we had to ask them to massage with a little bit more effort. shortly after it was pure sharp elbows, digging into our backs from the weight of their bodies, which overhang above. they use gravity and their elbows in an effort to avoid actually expanding effort or using their muscles at all. i don't know about you, but that's not a massage to me. shortly after i looked over to my side to notice that the man that was massaging, my girlfriend was sitting down on the bed lightly massaging her upper back with no more than a few fingers contact. there was no effort or work there. just sitting lounging doing the absolute minimum contact possible. this was almost the same for me however, my masseuse, also using only one hand, would pause for many seconds at a time before exerting some pressure then again another break of many seconds before pressure again. she was systematically conserving energy and then applying the minimum level of pressure from one hand only. after a couple warnings, she finally started to get that. i am not gonna leave us alone and she started massaging more correctly. then excuse the man who was pretending to massage my girlfriend and replaced him with a woman that was massaging me. then they sent one man to massage me who was lazy and barely doing anything so let him go when they sent him them yet. another one who is doing the same thing. at about 45 minutes i finally told him to leave me alone and just continue with my girlfriend. i don't know how it's possible that others aren't reporting this more often, but i cannot speak on what i do not know but what i do know is if you are sore, tired, and just looking for some muscle, relief and relaxation and you expect some discernible level of quality and effort than do not come here. these people do not care at all about giving you a good experience and i gave them multiple chances they are lazy and do not care about their customers at least not for my girlfriend and i if you doubt me at all, please read my other reviews. i'm very honest in my reviews and i take great care to be fair. and i write these to help others. it certainly doesn't provide me any benefit other than that. thank you for reading and feel free to contact me if you'd like more information

Did you know there was a Korean spa in Pasadena?? I didn't…read moreknow! So when my fiancé told me he booked us plus his dad a 2 hour spa in Pasadena I was pleasantly surprised that there was more to this than just a massage! Located on a main street with parking in the back - not much spaces and you have to be careful where you park because other spots are for other businesses. But once we found our spot, we went in and from the outside it looked small, narrow, and tall. But once we walked in it looked so different than it did from the outside! It was nice and dimly lit. There's a waiting room in the lobby as you wait your turn, cause get this - it's a PRIVATE session with us you and your party! They book sessions where you pretty much have this whole section to yourself without sharing with strangers. They let me in the dressing room first as two other women were still wrapping up their session. So my fiancé and his dad waited in the lobby until they were ready to let them in. They led me into the changing room that has a bunch of lockers, big mirrors, hair dryers, and bags for your wet swim suits to put in after! There's also 1 connecting bathroom to the changing room. Once I changed they led into the back room where the hot tub, cold plunge, and steam room was located. WOW. It looked so nice! Plus I was the only one there so I got to enjoy it by myself for a good couple of minutes! They told me that the other 2 ladies were wrapping up and once they left my fiancé and his dad could join me. They told me where to rinse off and let me just enjoy myself, and it was nice. The hot tub was nice and bubbly and the cold plunge was a nice escape from the heat. The steam room was nice but I couldn't last in there for too long. Our appointment time was 2pm but my fiancé and his dad couldn't get in till 2:10 and due to the 2 ladies that asked for a little more time to do a cold plunge and they let them rather than telling them that there was another party waiting. Once they finally left my group was able to come in and enjoy but they didn't get to enjoy these extra services long enough, maybe just 10 mins? Before we were told it was time for us to start our massages. They went to another room for a massage while I stayed in the wet room for my body scrub, I had to remove my swim suit so they can properly scrub me and UGH. They scrubbed me like they scrubbed away my sins! It felt so good and when they asked me to flip over I nearly slipped with how smooth I was! My masseuse/scrubber was an older women but she knew what she was doing! I had the body scrub, cucumber facial, body massage, and a hair wash/massage! It felt pretty worth it for me! After I was done they led me to the dry room to sit in the heated salt room and clay room. This was where I got to meet up with my group again and eh these rooms where just okay to me. You lay in there in a warm room with salt or clay balls around you. I got to chat with my fiancé and it seemed that there session was okay and he was quite jealous of what I got and wished he chose that too. After we were in the dry rooms for a bit we went back down to soak some more but they cut us out right on the dot at 4 and it was a bit of a bummer because my fiancé and his dad had much shorter times because of the 2 ladies before us. For me, my session was great but had to knock a star because my fiancé and his dad didn't have that great of a session and had their time cut short but still enjoyed it. Pros: You get the whole spa room to yourself but need to have a party of 2 or more Cons: If another group before you is late, they cut into your time and don't give you extra time to make up your full paid session

It is a very cute and calming place. It was clean. The bathroom was clean. They definitely accommodated us a lot by allowing us in early. However, I don't think I'd return.

The front desk receptionists are always welcoming and I love the ease of the parking situation. The products are great too...I bought the candle and room spray to try to duplicate the relaxing feeling in my home. The first time I went to this location I was randomly paired up with the massage therapist, Kia, and how lucky for me that I was! She is kind, calm and pleasant. I've been requesting her ever since that first time and sing her praises to my family and friends. She really listens to what my needs are and varies up her techniques to fit those needs. Whether it's adding the gliding cupping, hot stones, or just the now massage, I look forward to relaxing and resetting during my monthly 80-min massages. I will continue investing in me and booking with Kia!

Chuan Spa has become my go-to place for an extra treat. I have an autoimmune disease/chronic pain,…read moreso I get a 90-minute massage every other week at Massage Envy--which is a better price point for regular treatments. I've had probably 1,000 massages in my 43 years of life. But after seeing her twice now I can honestly say that Jenae (Jenay?) is the best masseuse I have ever had. Hands down. And I've had some really good massages. My regular guy is amazing. But she is life-changing!! I just wish I could afford to come here more regularly to see her. This last time I had a 90-minute massage with her and it was epic. Perfect combination of therapeutic/working out tightness and relaxation. Every single movement of hers is purposeful and exactly what I needed. In general, I actually prefer the amenities at Burke Williams (Pasadena) better--and it's not as expensive. But I will continue to come here exclusively as long as Jenae is here! I hope you do whatever it takes to make sure you hang on to her!

We purchased a groupon for 2 headspas for 75 minutes. They first analyze your hair follicles and recommend ways to prevent dandruff and oily scalps. Afterwords they take you to your room where they deep clean your scalp. We chose to include a massage with our experience which was a nice added bonus. When you're all done your hair is blow dried with products to enhance its health. What stood out to me the most was the clean rooms, clean floor ways and how my tech gently blow dried and brushed my hair (I have thick long hair). It made me feel extra cared for. The last spa I went to, did not want to brush my hair, nor was the experience relaxing. Definitely one of my top favorite spots! Will come back again.

I agree with the other 3 star review here. It's okay, but not anything special…read more Parking; Came at 530pm on a Saturday and had to park on the curb at Tierra Mia because the lot was full. Noise/Vibe: SOOOO incredibily noisy. I came in a minute before my appointment and the workers were frantic, running around and speaking anxiously and it wasn't a huge deal, no one was rushing them and they were still checking out the previous appointment. Then they asked me if I wanted to buy a gift card for a couple hundred dollars (it was my first time there???). Also tried to upsell while I was on the table and again at check out. This was the biggest thing. The whole point is to relax and even when I was in the room I still heard the customers and staff talk so loudly. Other places I've been to always have quiet signs and the staff also speak softly. The facialist was slamming boxes in the room and also had to refill the water twice (never had that happen ever) Facial: Was okay. Average products. She used a suction thing and rather than drag it on my face she tapped it and pulled at my skin. She also caught my nose ring after I told her I had one and she was like "oh it hurts?" and I was like yeah when I have something pull it hurts. She did do extractions which was nice but said the time would come off my massage, which I did appreciate about the communication. If I needed an "emergency" facial, maybe. Otherwise I'd just drive to Wi Spa or Korea town and get the whole vibe for the same $100
