I love coming here for deep tissue massages with Jeff. This location is so relaxing, and all the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. The front entrance has many seating areas for you to relax before and after your massage. Inside, it appears like a renovated home that has multiple massage rooms. You can also do your massage outside in the backyard space, which also has a great lounge area where you can recover. Jeff is a great massage therapist, and he's very good at identifying and targeting areas that can use some work. After just a few sessions, I have felt so much better and feel rejuvenated for the long term. Willow Spa is only open a few days a week, so make sure to book in advance, especially if you have a preferred massage therapist. I have done metered street parking every visit, and it is easy to find. Definitely come check out Willow Spa! read more

Willow Spa - Outdoor lounge area - Day Spas Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Such a lovely gem of a place. I've driven past this location so many times and never realized that such an oasis of tranquility was behind the main fence. It's like stepping into a whole other world of calm as you cross the entry threshold. I had a lovely foot bath and wonderful massage with Nicky. She was so attentive, asked me if I wanted focus on any particular body areas, confirmed with me how much pressure I preferred. Massage table was heated and Nicky double checked that the temperature was to my liking, adjusting as needed. I appreciated the air filter in the room as we continue to navigate COVID-19. I relaxed so much that I think I fell asleep for a bit during the massage. I left feeling so rejuvenated (almost regretting that I had to step back out into the real world!). Front desk staff (Chris?) was super warm and friendly too. I lucked out with 4-hr metered street parking along Santa Monica Blvd, directly in front of the spa. Otherwise it looks like 2-hr metered street parking along Santa Monica Blvd. I wish I had tried this spa years ago. I am so looking forward to coming back. Thank you for this haven of rest and renewal. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The promise of quiet and peaceful happens the moment you cross the threshold into the place. You will get an organic welcoming from Chris. You have arrived. Forget that it is 95 degrees out, the worries of the day and just surrender. Enjoy. read more

Got a chance to try this spa out and I must say it was very relaxing from start to finish. My husband and I did a couple massage for our anniversary this past weekend and it was 100% needed . Both our massage therapist was amazing we didn't catch their names but I had a sweet Asian lady and my husband had a awesome lady I'm not sure what her ethnicity was but she gives me mom vibes ( in a good way ) . When you enter the place it feels like you're in a whole different world feels very topical and relaxing as soon as you step into the place . You can automatically start feeling like all your worries are slowing drifting away. Totally worth it and will probably come back to try their other spa treatments they have for couples read more

I've been seeing Yukie at Willow Spa since I was pregnant, and now I go to her monthly. She is amazing! Her massages are always so relaxing, and she has the perfect touch to relieve all my tension. She's also the sweetest person and always makes my day every time I see her. I leave feeling completely refreshed and so grateful I found her. Highly recommend Yukie to anyone looking for the best massage and the kindest energy! read more

While it's on the pricier side, I feel so much better after getting a massage here. The staff are so pleasant, the beds and linens are high quality, and the ambiance is very relaxing. I leave here a different person! I would highly recommend the Reboot or Deep Tissue massages here read more

It was my friend's birthday and knowing how much she loves massages, I picked Willow Spa based on Yelp reviews. My friend had 75 min massage with cupping with Nikki. I had 60min shiatsu massage with Grace. Oh Boy!!! What an Amazing Experience!! Grace loosened up and released every single knots, tightness, rocks ( it felt like I was carrying rocks around my shoulders). Grace did some energy work for me. She basically worked my entire body! It was absolutely THE BEST massage I've ever gotten! She is So awesome! My body was 50lbs lighter and 5 inches taller after the massage session. My friend had an excellent massage with Nikki as well. She was very happy! It looks like I found a new massage therapist! I highly recommend Willow Spa! If you are looking for a real massage, this is the place. read more

" I had an Oxygen Glow facial with Maxine at Willow Spa, and it was easily one of the best facials I've ever had. Maxine is incredible--my skin felt amazing afterward, and she gave me fantastic tips to keep it that way. I'll definitely be back and can't recommend her enough for all your skincare needs!" I highly recommend Willow Spa for its atmosphere, ambience and it's knowledgeable and friendly staff. read more

Willow Spa is a rare gem in LA. The spa is such a cozy little oasis - perfect for those who care more about the quality of their treatments than the bells and whistles that larger spas offer. I've been coming here for over 10 years and have never had a bad massage. I see Yukie when I'm ridden with knots and need an extra firm deep tissue massage that hurts so good. I also love going to Nicky and Cynthia when I'm looking for more of a relaxing experience with balanced pressure. After your service concludes, the therapists greet you with a cup of water and offer aftercare tips while walking you out to the front desk. Talk about hospitality, they truly go above and beyond here! (Fun fact: many of the therapists have been working here for over a decade! It speaks volumes about a business when they're able to retain their employees for such a long time. Most importantly, if you find a therapist you love, you don't have to worry about them disappearing the next time you return!) Chris and Gigi at the front are always friendly and professional. I think it's worth sharing that once, during my massage, there was a particularly rowdy group of women having a spa party at Willow. They were so loud that I was unable to enjoy my massage, so I asked my therapist to inform the manager. They not only addressed the group's noise level immediately but also offered me a discount at checkout for the inconvenience. I thought this was handled really well. What they lack in amenities, they make up for with skill and outstanding service. 100% recommend! read more

Good reception, good environment, very relaxing. But the funny thing is, till the end, they still didn't remove my mascara and I can wipe my foundation when I got back home. They call it detox facial. Not recommended honestly. read more

Loved this place! My boyfriend took me here for a surprise birthday massage and I loved it. I am 6 months pregnant and it's the best prenatal massage I've had yet. I will definitely be back! The vibe is amazing and it's was fairly quiet my entire massage. I'd give it a 9/10. Will return. read more

I made a last minute reservation for my birthday and they accommodated me. I paid for a package, which included foot bath, massage, and Facial. All services were amazing. Thank you Yoki for therapy services and Erika for the facial. My only feedback is the location can use some upgrades. read more

Such a cute place nestled right in Santa Monica They have parking behind the building and on their cross streets. It was very and quick for me to find parking. I came to Willow Spa for a body scrub & massage package. The entrance to the building is decorated all cute and zen and the employees are very welcoming. I really liked the aesthetic of this spa and that they sell Eminence skin care products. The rooms were cute and I was so happy that the table already has a warmer on it. The body scrub and massage were AMAZING! Not to mention their pricing is beyond reasonable. I am about to buy a few friends massages here as gifts and will definitely be back myself. read more

It was first time at Willow Spa today and it was absolutely fantastic! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and the vibe was relaxing and peaceful. I started with the Willow foot bath, which I 100% recommend, and then a 60 min massage that almost put me to sleep. Also, ask for Grace, she is the best!! I booked another appointment with her before I left. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Nice little spa, close to the action in Manhattan Beach. staff were helpful and chill.

My husband purchase a gift card here for myself and two of my friends for Christmas. I was pregnant at the time we booked our initial appmt, and the baby came early so we had to cancel. We finally got around to it today! We were all so excited to go especially because the reviews here were so amazing. Unfortunately, it was a complete let down. I got the deep tissue massage. I cannot recall my therapist's name. She was nice and this is not a review on her skills itself. My knots from carrying my 7 month old has been addressed. Just so you know, this is like an old house that's been converted to a spa. The pictures on the Yelp reviews and the website are INACCURATE! The "waiting area" that you see on this Yelp page is NOT the same place. We were taken to a dark area, and sat on a wicker "couch" across the bathrooms. You also don't get to just chill and relax with your friends by any means. It is pretty much a wambam thank you, m'aam kind of place. There was no tea, no foot soak like the reviews on here. Are those even real?!! I was taken to the very back of the house, outside and into a cement like room with a wooden sliding door. The room was cold and loud from an AC running somewhere, but not for my room. The massage bed was cold, the blankets were cold, I was completely frigid. The only warm thing was the substance she used to massage me. But then, because if the solution, I was even colder from the cold air hitting my body. There was music playing, but I can hardly hear it over the awful noise! There was no candles, no essential oils in the air to get me to relax. She did take an hour, which I appreciated, but after it was done, she waited for me outside, gave me water and ushered me out saying my friends were outside waiting for me. They were not. Out of courtesy I tipped generously, but it should've been cut in half. My recommendation is to NOT go here. For the price, totally not worth it. read more

I only got massages here with Cynthia prior to my facial this past weekend. Cynthia (massage therapist) is incredible and gives one of the best massages ever! I got a facial this weekend with Maxine and she was very knowledgable. It felt extremely relaxing but also my skin looked incredible after (I did the red light facial). I love this spot and the staff is so kind and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

My friend and I had a great day. We both enjoyed the facility and the services. First place where I didn't communicate with my technician and actually had great relaxing time without sharing or receiving any communication. Totally recommend- planning to go back in Summer again. read more

I booked a deep tissue couples massage here for my fiancé and I for Valentine's Day and we had a fantastic experience. The vibe is so charming & cozy-- there is a cute little garden in front. The staff is very professional & friendly. I received a massage from Cynthia, she had such good technique & used just the right amount of pressure to get all of my knots out. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a quaint place to get a relaxing massage. The price is also very reasonable compared to other couples massages! read more

Erika did an amazing job! She answered all my questions and made sure I got the result I wanted. 100/10 recommend Erika!

The cutest little place you've ever seen. Very cozy and adorable inside. I live just down the street so I've been there a few times but I've never had a good massage unfortunately. read more

Came here for a spa party for Jasmine Y. (now J.s!!) wedding. I tried the Willow Enzyme Bath with a 30 minute thai massage. Be sure to check-in on Yelp for a discount! The Willow Enzyme Bath is fascinating & Willow Spa is the only place in Southern California that offers this bath. It essentially feels like a sauna, but for your body only (whatever is buried by the finely cut wood shavings, rice bran, and fruit and vegetable enzymes.) The bath honestly looks and smells a bit like dirt, but it's very effective! Grace was fantastic. I've never felt so pampered in my life - she came in every 5 minutes with a cool towel + water. Ample street parking on Santa Monica + side streets. read more

Willow Spa - Really lovely touch! - Day Spas Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I booked a couples massage for my fiance's birthday and we both enjoyed it! They have an outdoor area where you can get a massage together. We went in the afternoon, so it was quite hot, but it also felt like we were in a tropical place - very relaxing and warm. Will definitely try to make another visit soon! read more

This place was quite nice, and I came by the other day with a few friends to have a spa day. We all decided to do a scrub and massage. Overall was pretty good experience and came out refreshed. Although the location is on the side of the road once you enter the area, it does seem like your transported to a different place. They offer tea and chocolate before or after your treatment. They were all nice and I recommend giving this place a try if you have the chance. read more

Erika is amazing! She answered all my questions and concerns and left my skin feeling flawless. I will definitely be coming back!

Love willow spa. I go to Maxine for my facials and she's very knowledgeable, professional and informative. I look forward to trying their other services! read more

A hidden gem in West LA! Highly recommend this little oasis! This was my first time here and I badly needed a facial. I let the esthetician examine my skin and recommend a treatment. We went with a 60 minute Willow Facial with a Mangostein Peel add on ($15 extra) so that extractions were easier. Loved it! A small head and shoulder massage was also included. Would recommend Juniper if you're getting a facial. She was very knowledgeable. The ambiance is calm and peaceful and you can hear the water streaming throughout the common area. They do have you change into a white shirt and pants which really puts the cherry on top of the spa experience. Treat yourself and go here! read more

Step into willow spa if you need to escape from the honking of horns, city smog, and find refuge in this tranquil oasis filled with lovely therapists. We booked the 60 minute zentastic massage which comes with a complimentary 15 minute foot soak prior to your massage (so arrive on time!). Suman was my massage therapist and she was so lovely and worked RIGHT into where I needed her to. I need her in my life everyday, I'm sure of it. The facility is adorable, and I could spend all day there. They did not rush us out even though we had the last spa appointment of the evening. They even allowed us to continue to sip on tea and sit in the garden area. Chris checked us out, and he was the best. He explained to me their loyalty program where basically you can accumulate double points with your services during the last tuesday/thursday of every month to redeem in the form of credit towards a service. I hope to continue to run into him since he was so lovely (again, not rushing us even though we were there past closing). Can't wait to escape here again :) read more

Willow Spa - Garden where you get the foot soak. We sipped tea & waited for our therapists here :) - Day Spas Near Me - Santa Monica, California

We had THE best time at Willow Spa!!! I highly recommend coming here to anyone that wants a good decent priced facial or massage with a spa tropical atmosphere and great service. We ordered: 1.) Swedish massage with complimentary 15 minute foot massage 2.) Organic Facial (their most popular facial) From entering this spa to leaving our experience was lovely. The waiting area is lined with bamboo, comfy seating and heat lamps to keep you warm in the California winter! There is also green tea and water available while you wait. In the changing room there are lockers you can lock up your things in and take the key with you. There are also sandals you can wear around the facility. My facial was SO GOOD. I requested the blueberry peel with is more acidic on the face but very effective and provides a gorgeous glow. I felt like a whole new person when I left the facility. I will definitely be back! read more

I stopped by Willow Spa for a Dermaplane facial yesterday and Erika was amazing!!!! My skin is so smooth and soft, I am literally glowing. Erika has such a nice touch and was very gentle on my skin.

Best facial in LA hands Had to come back again and thank Barbara yet again!!! Thank you so much! My face appreciate your beyond words!! I've been coming monthly (this was round 3) and will continue as I have seen my face change drastically! Every product she uses during treatment and has recommended are working marvels! Ohh and girl are they fully stocked in the front with all the good stuff! I have always dealt with breakouts my whole life and work in the sun often but after her product recommendation and even juices that help detox I have seen my face shine and look healthier and younger . Amazing! Thank you so much I will definitely be seeing you next month only complaint I have is that I can't leave more read more

What a relaxing experience! We were a little late and the host made us feel absolutely okay and was so reassuring and friendly. My massage with Grace was excellent. We moved to a new area in San Diego and I have been searching for a new masseuse - I found her in Grace, only sadly I don't live in Santa Monica. Grace had just the right pressure, checked in periodically, and hit all the right spots. read more

Every service I've had here is amazing. Lovely oasis within Santa Monica. Highly recommend.

I'm a fan of Willow Spa especially due to their organic facials. I've had good massages as well but their facials are pretty wonderful. They have totally turned me on to Eminence Organic Products. I have very problematic skin and each time my face feels great when I leave. Willow Spa is in a converted old house on SM Blvd that you check in at the front door where there's a small reception area that also has some products for sale and then you exit, walk along the size of the house where there's a very sweet courtyard to wait at for your treatment. They have a small locker room there as well. This waiting area can get uncomfortable during the hotter summer months but it's serene and if you're getting a full body treatment you'll enjoy a nice rose petal foot bath prior. They also give you a glass of this wonderful tea upon finishing! YUM. A few things to keep in mind: there's only street parking (mostly metered) and it's hit or miss with what's available; so plan ahead. I've gone there and driven for 15 minutes looking for parking and also when there's 10 spaces free. Be aware of what the price is and what you are asked to pay upon leaving. The last 2 times I was asked to pay more than my treatment cost and it's always an oopsie! One time is a mistake but twice... I'm starting to wonder. Lastly, the prices are a bit overpriced for getting a no frills spa so look for a special/deal. They also sell gift cards so you can put this on your gift wish list. read more
