The reasons why I want to update my review: Very relaxing atmosphere -- the center area isn't overly loud. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The skincare products they use feel nicer/better quality than what I've experienced at other spas. I also really appreciate that this is a 12+ facility, so there aren't small children running around. At some other spas, kids can be loud and make it harder to fully relax. Here, the atmosphere is much more peaceful, which makes a big difference when you're coming to relax

3.5 stars. Main…read morereason I wanted to try this place is because it's advertised that it doesn't get too crowded, but that's definitely not true during a Saturday afternoon. It's not crowded per se, but all the amenities are occupied - chairs taken, floor mats taken, etc. So, sure, it's not "crowded" but you can't really do anything in the co-ed area either. They also seemed to ration the towels, so you couldn't go into the spa multiple times unless you wanted to re-use your wet towels. Not really trying to do mental math on towel usage when I'm just trying to enjoy my life. The food was not it either. Solidly, 2 out of 5 stars. Not a lot of options. Ended up ordering two cold noodles. It wasn't very cold, and I could not chew thru the noodles at all and relied on swallowing them whole!? Last thing - I feel like the culture is different. Other korean spas I've been to really focus on the peace and quiet, and I understand there's always going to be yappers at whichever spa you go to. But, here, it seemed everyone disregarded the rule, viewing them just as general guidelines. Everyone was still quiet-ish but definitely making more noise than I've experienced at other places. Multiple people straight watching videos on their phones without earphones. The amenities are all there but just something not aligned here. If you're trying to relax a little bit, come during non-peak hours. Just know there are better options out there.

Just a handful of people. Men's spa area had 3 small pools (hot, warm, cold), dry and steam sauna rooms, and a hidden corner for scrubbing. Showers have shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Changing area with some basic toiletries. They also provide a toothpaste and disposable toothbrush. Common area has 4 side rooms (ice, red clay, salt, and forest). There's places to lie down and lounge and tables with chairs. There's also a kiosk to order food and drinks. You'll hear the sound of waves and gentle instrumental music to help you relax. Overall, enjoyed our experience here and will be back! They have a deal where you can purchase 10 spa entree fees for $300 ($35 per entry otherwise). Entry fee is waived if services are purchased (except for scrub only).

--- Very disappointing and unfair experience at K Spa…read more I came in at 1 PM and the manager came to tell me my time was up because of a 6-hour limit. However, there were other customers who came in at 11 AM and she was not telling them anything. She was only targeting me. I asked her why the rule was only being applied to me and that if it is a rule, it should be the same for everyone. She responded in a very rude way and told me "don't worry about the others, worry about yourself." It felt very unjust and discriminatory. The manager was very rude and racist towards me. On top of that, the place was dirty. The jacuzzi, the showers, and the steam room smelled like urine. Very unhygienic. I will not be returning and I do not recommend this place. Management needs to treat all customers equally and with respect. ---

Recently discovered a hidden wellness gem inside Pacific Palms Resort -- Sally Spa, and I have to…read moreshare. It was even featured in Beef on Netflix, so it already comes with that cinematic, aesthetic atmosphere The moment you walk in, you can feel the difference. The entire spa is designed with natural elements -- crystal chandeliers, wooden walls, and an impressive collection of over 500-year-old antiques. It doesn't feel like a typical commercial spa at all, more like a quiet, curated sanctuary for the mind. They also have separate lounges for men and women, which makes the whole experience feel more private and refined. The essential oils used are from doTERRA -- clean, natural, and not overpowering. I tried their 90-minute "Fresh Ginger & Mugwort Herbal Massage," and the whole treatment follows a very thoughtful, traditional wellness flow: It starts with freshly ground ginger applied to the body to warm you up from within -- you can literally feel the cold leaving your body Then comes hot stone therapy to raise your body temperature and deeply relax your muscles Finally, warm mugwort herbal compresses are used along pressure points, inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, leaving your body feeling light and rebalanced My therapist Tina had a very gentle and soothing technique -- not overly intense, but incredibly effective. The relaxation actually lasted longer, which is perfect if you've been stressed or not sleeping well. And honestly, the resort itself adds so much to the experience There are two 18-hole championship golf courses, plus private one-on-one yoga sessions -- it truly feels like a full-on retreat. The best part? For a resort-level spa like this, the pricing is actually very reasonable -- great value for what you get. In one sentence: This isn't just a massage -- it's a full mind-and-body reset. If you've been feeling drained or just want to escape LA for a bit, this place is absolutely worth saving

I am begging you (the person who is thinking of signing up for a membership) to not do it…read more Honestly, I have been to several other locations and massage envy just sucks overall. But since this is my home location I will keep my review relevant to Whittier. They raise their prices $10 each year. Their front desk service is very inconsistent. Not sure if it's high turn over of employees but it's hit or miss. Many of the massage therapists who claim they are "firm" are not. Some talk your ear off and don't even pay attention to time. Facials are inconsistent. Some facials are good experiences with the person giving advice on how to manage the type of skin you have. Others will berate you on how you are using cheap products and should be using massage envy retail products. Booking here is ridiculous the reason I have experienced every therapist and aesthetician here is because the people I actually think are good are never available. I work a 9 to 5 so my options are very limited and I found that out very quickly when I signed that contract for my membership. I had immediate regret signing up but because I was dealing with postpartum and depression, getting massage was my self care and I just figured I would rough it out with my contract. I am usually the type of person that would order a steak and if I get chicken because the waiter messed up, I don't say anything. I would just say at least charge me for what I eat. I have had the same respect here. At the end of the day I knew that if I voiced my real opinions I would probably have had many of their staff fired. So I chose to just tip my 15% and book another appointment to use all the point I accumulate. Mind you I have had a lot of points in any given date because it was THAT inconvenient to book a decent massage therapist that I actually enjoyed. I have had to cancel before due to an emergency. They could not give a f***. They still threatened to take 50% of my pay for the services. Fine, it's in the fine print. It is what it is. So here is the cherry on top of this s*** show. I wanted to book my husband a massage for father's day. Of course there was no bookings. So I settled for the following week. I even booked myself one too and locked in a baby sitter, planned to get out of work early to make it on time etc. Morning of, we get a text saying that my husbands massage therapist was calling out sick and if we wanted to reschedule. I let them know I was so done with them. They WOULD NOT give me the money back (ironic huh?) so I was forced to reschedule my hubby's massage and then what did I get this morning? a text saying the same massage therapist her name is Raeann by the way, had called in sick again (so obviously don't trust her). I have since cancelled my membership but I want my $10 transfer fee to a non member ( my hubby) and my monthly $95 charge back since we have been cancelled on twice by the same person. Charge back with the bank is already in process. BUT why ? right? why should I have to go through this? I know for damn sure I am not the only unhappy member either. \ I encourage everyone to support local massage clinics and not a franchise chain that has lost everything they claim they stand for.

I honestly haven't been to a massage spa in Whittier where I didn't get that weird or uncomfortable…read morefeeling until Agave Beauty & Spa. One of the first things I noticed was that the doors and windows aren't completely blacked out. You can actually see into the spa from outside, which immediately made the space feel more welcoming, professional, and comfortable. HUGE plus for me! I originally found Agave Beauty & Spa when I purchased a gift card for my aunt's 60th birthday. She absolutely LOVED her experience and has been coming back ever since Liz is now her go-to for facials, and Linda is her girl when she wants a strong massage! After hearing her rave about them, I finally decided to give Agave a try myself and... OHHH MY GOD! WHERE HAS THIS HIDDEN GEM BEEN?! My face was left feeling incredibly clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated. What I appreciated most was that there was ZERO pressure to buy expensive products, upgrade services, or add a bunch of extras. I've been to places where the constant upselling completely ruins the relaxing experience and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. None of that here. The service felt genuine, professional, and focused on what I actually needed. If you're looking for quality massages, facials, and professional spa services, I HIGHLY recommend Agave Beauty & Spa in Uptown Whittier. I work for the city, so best believe I'll be spreading the word about this hidden gem! 5 STARS -- you've definitely gained another customer!

I recently had chin lipo and scoured the internet desperate to find a place that does lymphatic…read moredrainage massage as my post op instructions suggested I have multiple sessions to help with the healing process. Most spas offer lymphatic drainage with a facial, but I didn't want that. I just wanted the massage. I found Agave through Yelp and I am so glad I did. This place is located on a quiet street in uptown Whittier. There's free parking in front on the street or a free parking structure directly across. The place is small on the outside but seems bigger on the inside. It's super clean and gives off a relaxing vibe. The massage room has a wall of battery operated candles that give off that ambient lighting and the soothing music is the cherry on top. Liz is so sweet. Talking to her feels like talking to an old friend. She's knowledgeable and good at what she does. The first session I did, I just got the facial massage, but during my session she learned I was post op and suggested the chin contour treatment which comes with red light therapy to promote healing and another machine that uses heat to help tighten the skin. The massage feels like a good type of pain. I know she's working her magic and I leave Agave with my jawline snatched. I love how she suggests things I can do while at home, in between sessions. And she makes sure I'm doing my part to help myself heal. I can't wait to be fully healed and try the other treatments they offer. The prices are super reasonable which is why I'll for sure be back and be referring anyone and everyone.

I came by again yesterday after work, but this time I called especially for Peter, I heard he does…read moregreat deep tissue. Omg, it hurts !!! I always do deep tissue and I like it strong but Peter uses his elbows with all his weight pressings on my body. I don't think Peter knows what deep tissue means, just because we says strong doesn't mean to hurt us. When it comes to the hot stones, it was burning hot, it was so hot when it touched my back that it felt like an electric shock. You guys better be careful of that, it can seriously damage your back. So he put a towel on my lower back and put lined the stones on top and he massages my legs, letting the stones cool down a bit. After he was done with my legs, he went for the stones. I never had anyone use it on My head before and that shit hurts. Like he uses the stones to try scraping my head off from my shoulders, I think he was scraping my neck and accidentally hit my head a couple of times, that's why it hurts. His face massage can tear off your face cuz is so hard. I don't know if his massage is good or bad but I doozies off , if you in room 16 and see snots on the floor, that's from me lol. This morning I woke up all sore. Maybe is too good but I think I'll stick with the other guy, he knows what to do and how hard I can handle it.

Purchased a gift certificate for a friend and he had the worse experience…read more He scheduled an appt and arrived in a timely manner. He was greeted and given a price right away for the hour. Presenting the gift card, the female masseur shifted her mannerisms and guided him to the room. With no further direction and no blanket for cover she entered after 10 mins of waiting and starts the massage. Not 2 mins in enters another costumer. Being the only masseuse there, she tends to the man with cash and puts him in the room next store and try's to pass my friend to someone else. She tried to call for back up so my friend would have to wait. After refusing to wait, my friend tried to explain that he had an appt. The lady then goes next door and apologizes to the guy and sends him off. She then comes back, coldly finishes the massage within 45 mins. My friend not only lost time but didn't get to enjoy what is suppose to relaxing due to the constant interruption. Please accept gift certificates as paying customers and treat them fairly with equal service.
