The salt studio is a warm, accessible, inclusive, and healing safe haven. Miranda is so sweet and always so helpful with booking appointments. Tessa was the missing piece in my health journey. Recovering from mold illness, lymphatic issues, and chronic full body migraines hasn't been easy, but Tessa provides me with so much relief from my chronic pain and stiffness. I'm so grateful to Tessa and the Salt Studio for giving me a bit of my life back. It means more than you know! read more

The Salt Studio is AMAZING! My wife and had the salt room experience first and that was really helpful in de-stressing and just overall relaxation. I had the pleasure of reiki massage and I can't give it higher praise. I've been going through some stressful times at work that have manifested physically (tight muscles, nerve pain) and the reiki massage really allowed my body to awaken and start healing itself on its own. It's difficult to describe but you can almost feel your body start soothing the painful areas. I would also feel over the next day or two more mental peace and clarity as my body continued to heal. I can't recommend this place enough. I'm definitely going back and this place helps a lot more people in the same way it's helped me. Thank you, Salt Studio!! read more

This was my first time at the Salt studio and it was so awesome. I was able to relax and just enjoy the salt. They make this environment so comforting and peaceful. I highly recommend coming and taking a time out from the phone. I left feeling so good and will definitely be back for a massage too. read more

See all

I am so glad that I found The Salt Studio on yelp. I treated myself for my birthday to the Spa Works and it was well worth it. Tessa was amazing and made my session so comfortable. She really focused on areas that needed some extra attention. I was greeted with a warm welcome and the atmosphere was so soothing and relaxing. I am definitely recommending this place to friends and family! Thank you for making my day so special! read more

I was really looking forward to using a gift certificate my husband gave me right before the pandemic. When I called I was told it is worthless as ownership changed. This used to be my go to spot for spa services and will no longer be taking my business here with such poor customer service. read more

Heard of this place from One Life Yoga. Barbara massaged me for 90 mins and it was the most amazing massage I've had and I've been to a lot of massage places!! I usually go to the asian ones cause I'm cheap but I've treated myself once in a while to more expensive ones but Barbara's massage exceeded my expectations/ past experiences. I requested deep tissue and she delivered. She listened to my request to focus on upper back, shoulders, low back and hips. She really worked on the knots and every contact was therapeutic. It was worth $160+$40 tip! I already scheduled my next appointment! read more

I've been coming to the Salt Studio since 2021 and have loved their services, both before and after the change of ownership. I come for traditional massages and haven't tried their Reiki. Their practitioners are great - responsive, sensitive, and caring. Their front-desk staff are always kind and accommodating and they can often get me with a day or two's notice or even (sometimes) the same day. This a great place to get a massage that's better quality than the cheap membership establishments and cheaper than the expensive, super high-end spas. read more

Love this neighborhood gem! So relaxing. And it's nice that it's a bit of a secret so it's not too busy.

My massage from Tessa was truly magical. I came in grumpy and tense and she transformed my whole day. It really did feel like a massage customized to my needs. Also in general the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Only massage place I go to as I feel a lot of places are super sketchy. This place is not only super clean and legit, but very peaceful and friendly. The masseuses are amazing. I always feel so calm and relaxed walking in and out of here! read more

What a great experience. The chairs were amazing I feel asleep for a few mins and was able to decompress my thoughts

After years of chronic neck pain I finally found relief from the great massages I received at the Salt Studio.

I booked holistic facials and massages for my friend and I for her birthday, and the spa is a cute, tiny place. Miranda was very helpful with booking and very sweet giving us tea when we arrived. Rhys was awesome and gave us both the most amazing massages we've ever had in our lives!!!! She is gentle, moves slowly, and made us feel pain-free and rejuvenated! It was AMAZING!!! Kathleen was very sweet but her facial was not at all what we were expecting. I am a licensed esthetician and so going in for a facial. I expect a skin consultation and for my face to be cleansed, exfoliated, and hydrated. That is not what we received. Kathleen's "lymphatic strokes" were not stimulating at all. She was stroking our faces so lightly, she was barely touching us and then she was lightly brushing our face with what looked like an eyeshadow brush. The aromatherapy compresses smelled nice and felt good and were followed by a serum and some moisturizer. I was really looking forward to the lymphatic massage for my face and having my pores cleaned and was disappointed that is not what I got for the price I paid! I would definitely recommend Rhys for an unforgettable massage. The spa is located in a tiny shopping center with free parking and the salt room is ok. read more

I had a 90 minute massage with Alyssa on Saturday. It was the most intuitive, healing massage I have had in ages. It never felt formulaic. She seemed to know instinctively where the pain was and she "worked" on those areas without becoming too harsh. It felt like an Esalen massage. I have feeling back in my hands for the first time in weeks because of the work she did on my upper shoulders. There are a few massage therapists out there who have a sort of healing touch. Alyssa is one. I also love the quiet vibe of the place. Healing energy, good people. read more

Overall a beautifully relaxing space with nice people! I I didn't know the salt room isn't heated, and the salt body scrub was a bit quick and abrasive. (No water during scrubbing on dry skin) I bought some of the items they carried so I was happy to leave home with that! Would recommend this place for a good massage or to sit and meditate!! read more

Barbara has magical hands. I always walk out feeling like a new and improved woman-- I will never go anywhere else for a massage.

I had a lovely somatic massage from the lovely and intuitive Rhys Ellis. She did a wonderful job of adjusting the level of pressure and working slowly. Appreciated this massage as I needed it! I'm a Canoga Salt Studio and have been going there for years. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing life changing for me. I did the hands of light massage it really brought truth to my life. It validates so much of my experiences in life. It shed light no pun intended but light and love back into my heart. Thank you so very much read more

Great hidden gem! This place is great for a REAL massage/bodywork treatment. Tessa gave an strong and intuitive massage. It's nice, but no frills like sauna, etc. but they do have a salt room you can book! I already got a gift certificate for mom and will definitely be returning myself. I feel awesome! read more

The best alternative to albuterol! After two weeks of salt therapy the cough is nearly eliminated. This is our third week of therapy and i have seen great strides. I included my younger son in the therapies as I had no child care for him. He has a very mild case of eczema and the treatment also helped with his skin condition. I strongly recommend parents to try this therapy. read more

The Salt Studio - Kids salt therapy room - Massage Therapy Near Me - Pasadena, California

My first visit last saturday - Josh was fabulous! I had a 90 min massage + salt scrub + hot stones and it was amazing. 80% of the inflammation in my shoulders and neck went away from this one visit. Clean and relaxing environment. Josh was very easy going and communicative - gave me great reminders on stretches to do at work. Will def go back! read more

Love this place and its staff! The place as a whole just gives off such a great vibe as soon as you walk in the door. You are always greeted with a warm smile and an aroma, I'm guessing from the Salt and oils, that is just soothing and welcoming. Sarah, the acupuncturist is just amazing! She has such a great warm and friendly personality, always helps me relax and her skills have helped a huge deal with my aching neck and shoulder. Also, I've only stood by the entrance of the door, but the Salt room just looks like a lot of fun and smells amazing. Definitely worth giving a try. :) --This place just puts a smile on my face. * Thank you for such great costumer service! read more

I did not know this place was here and frankly I didn't know such a place even existed. I never heard of a Salt Studio; however, I became aware through Groupon. I redeemed a voucher today. I arrived about 10 minutes early and got out of my shoes and into the provided booties. The room appears to be set up for 5 people; however, I was the only one during the 5pm session today. Unfortunately, they didn't even have me in the system even though I made an appointment. I'm not sure why. Anyway, I was in for 45 minutes. On the wall, there is a list of things that time in a salt room can help. I am sure that is based on the individual and if those things could improve or happen, I am sure it will take several sessions (and I'll be back...trust me); however, for me this was used purely as a relaxation tool. And guess what? It served its purpose. I am pretty sure that I was dozing in and out for about half the 45 minute session. Although it was a very good value with the Groupon, I looked at the normal prices and they also appear reasonable and a good value. It also looks like they have various packages to purchase at an even greater discount. Nice place, relaxing and friendly service. I give this a 5 star rating and plan on returning. read more

That was the best massage I've had yet. I had a 90 min massage and added hot stone. It was so amazing. Diana is so talented. It was so relaxing and well done- and almost poetic in how she worked. I can't WAIT to go back! read more

I love it here! I've been to the Salt Studio a couples times and every time I've been I have gotten a massage with Brittany. She is AMAZING. She is really good and what she does and makes sure you are always comfortable. She asks throughout the massage if you are ok with what is being done whether you would like anything different. She has made suggestions to me about what kind of treatment will help sore muscles and her advice is GOLDEN. I haven't gone into the salt room yet but am planning on it soon. I highly recommend this studio and Brittany is AMAZING! read more

I booked an early Mother's Day massage appointment for my ladies at the Salt Studio last week. It's rare when we get to see each other and spend time so we decided on this place instead of the Korean spa because it was a more local spot to relax and catch up. It was an easy appointment to set up. Receptionist was extremely accommodating to schedule my groups appts together so we could hang in the salt room and my other two friends said they liked their chakra massage and facial. However, the mud wrap with 60 min massage was less to be desired by me and my friend. We both are spa goers and our disappointment was completely the same: 1) Therapist didn't apply mud on our face or torso, or midback 2) It didn't seem like a wrap...usually feel like a butterfly busting out of a cocoon afterwards...very underwhelming 3) massage was toooooo delicate...this was a man! Felt like the therapist was still learning which is a tough one to criticize but considering the price tag...ain't nobody got time for that! read more

Lovely space, lovely people. I always feel refreshed and cared for after I leave. Diana, Tessa and Barbara are all excellent body workers and the salt cave is a very peaceful way to take a time out from the busy-ness of life. They take the time and care to ensure the spaces are thoroughly cleaned and parking is free and easy. I can not recommend highly enough! read more

This is the best massage place I've been to! Tessa never fails to do an amazing job and the whole experience is top-notch. The massages I get here are better than any of the fancy day spas I've been to, which often charge way more than their worth. This place is worth every penny and I'm so glad to have found it so close to where I live! Highly recommend! read more

I've used the salt room and attended a sound bath at the salt studio. The salt room is so relaxing and really helps with my allergies. I did a few sessions when I was recovering from pneumonia and I think they helped. The sound bath was led by Paola Beas. She is amazing. What an amazing healing experience. I felt an emotional release and felt so much more grounded afterwards. read more

My friend took me here for my birthday in February and to be honest I really wasn't sure what to expect. I was pretty anxiety ridden with the whole ordeal but after walking in and meeting everyone I felt like all the stress was alleviated by how nice and accommodating everyone was. The massage was relaxing and perfect! read more

This year's Flu left my body kind of ravaged. All my membranes were hypersensitive, and any variations in temperature, any exercise, blowing dust...seemingly ANYTHING...would irritate my bronchia and sinuses. A trainer at my gym told me about the Salt Studio -- and I called and made a same day appointment. There's off-street parking and the small spa is tucked back in the corner of the parking lot. The staff was caring and considerate and explained the medicinal benefits of breathing salt air to me. Early medicine practitioners in Europe noted that people who worked in the Salt Mines seemed to be unaffected by many maladies that plagued average people. They began taking patients down into the mines to spend time, and many were cured. I had heard about this when I toured an actual salt mine in Austria. The Salt Studio has done an amazing job of constructing a tranquil salt cavern, right in Pasadena! The walls of the room are encrusted with salt crystals, the floor is completely coarse grain salt, and there are reclining chairs. They provide a heated neck pillow and blankets to cover up with, as the atmosphere in the "cavern" is cool and dark, much like a subterranean cave. The treatment takes 45 minutes...you simply relax and breathe in the dimly lit room. I was the only one taking the treatment when I visited, but there are about 8 chairs in the room. I found it relaxing and effortless, and I felt good when my time was up. One session costs $40, but a two-week, unlimited package is only $99, and since I wanted more, I went for it. I'm going back tomorrow. One added benefit, there's a Tommy's Burgers right across the street, so, when you come out feeling re-vitalized, you can have a short health walk to satisfy your Chiliburger "jones". (This may seem incongruent, but don't knock it until you've tried it. I may speak to the Salt Studio owner about conducting my own class in complete sensual saturation.) read more

This studio feels like a home away from home. It's always so refreshing and relaxing to come visit this place. The massage therapists are all so wonderful and the estheticians genuinely care about the health of your skin. This hidden gem is truly a treasure. read more

Very peaceful and quiet in salt room. Great place to chill and meditate and take a nap. Hopefully the salt treatment does it's mysterious work and heals what ails you. But even if it doesn't, it's a nice experience with very good massages. And who doesn't like a massage filled by a nap? Be aware of the kid hours 3:00-4:00 daily. They are quiet and respectful, but still kids. So flipping the provided coloring book pages and clacking pencils in and out of the colored pencil holder can be a bit distracting. However, it's so great that they get the benefits too and are learning how to sit quietly with adults in a healing space. Special place. And hopefully, will ward off this cold I'm getting too! read more

Pasadena's secret gem! Bought my daughter a membership for her bday, she enjoyed a facial day with her best friend and can't wait to go back to try their massage and salt therapy. She spoke nothing but praise of the staff and facility in general! They made the whole experience stress free and perfect for her day. Thank you all at The Salt Studio, will be seeing you again soon! read more

Best massage I've had in Los Angeles, and the studio is so calming as soon as you walk in. My upper back and neck hurt pretty much all the time and today I feel great. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Salt Studio to have a couples message. Hands down this was one of the best massages I ever had. My massage therapist Tessa was so kind and listened to all of my concerns. She made sure that the pressure was just right and that I was comfortable. The place itself is inviting and peaceful. Before entering the room, you can sip on some fresh cucumber water and relax before the massage. Once in the room, they will ask you to pick out an essential oil that will be used throughout the massage. I really enjoyed my time here and it was one of the only places that made me feel comfortable. read more

I just came in for the salt room and I will say that I was a skeptic, but it was a really great experience. I just wanted to breath it in and stay and play with the salt. You can sit in the comfortable chairs with salt at you feet and all around you as they grind salt and mist it into the room. You skin feels great after and so did my lungs. I will be back again. read more

Tessa is the BEST! The monthly membership is totally worth it. Very clean studio with appointments often available. Many add on features such as deep calm, hot stones, and CBD. Highly recommend! read more

I came here specifically for the salt room. It was part of a fun, relaxing day I had planned for my boyfriend's birthday. It was something new for both of us and ended up being a great way to start our day. We got lucky and no one else booked a session for that time so we had the room all to ourselves. I'm glad because it would have been awkward to be with strangers in such a small, intimate space. The temperature was perfect and we felt so comfortable that we actually ended up spending the last 20 minutes of our session napping on the floor! They provided blankets and warmed up neck pillows. We left feeling very relaxed and happy. It's a bit out of the way for our every day lives but I'd come here again for sure. read more

I visited this studio because I was in need of some acupuncture. Ideally, a gua sha session would've been great but not a lot of acupuncturists offer it outside of SGV. So, I settled on acupuncture & cupping. Immediately after walking into the lobby area of the studio, my breathing cleared up. Note: I had been sick with flu-like symptoms for the previous 3 days. The acupuncturist was running really late so they let me into the salt room. It was great (placebo effect? I think not). I could've napped in there. It reminded me of the salt room in the Aria spa. The acupuncture session itself was good & helped. I love cupping and have done it before. The cups had trouble adhering to my back so the session was so-so. Parking was easy but the lot is small. I recommend a salt room session & a salted caramel after! So good. read more
