I left work early for my appointment drove a hour and a half to get to a "lymphatic drainage massage". One I told her multiple times what I wanted before I came!! two rubbing lotion on me is not a massage ! Three just take accountability for your actions! AGAIN HUGE LACK ON PROFESSIONALISM !! I'm not paying for a service you can't provide! Train your employees. To start it's so hot in the place I was sweating! That was where we were off to a bad start, mind you I asked 3 times for the service I was interested in... "yes,yes detox" is what she responded just for her to rub oil on me with no pressure or technique what so ever! Why offer a service you can't provide ? Literally bait and switch. I got up and left, this place wasted my time and my money by leaving work early for bs. The professionalism here is a joke. Have yall not been to a real spa to even try to imitate one appropriately?? This establishment is so embarrassing, from the quack services to the business owner arguing with clients over unpleasant experiences. Believe the reviews babes. read more

I'm not happy when I have anything negative to say about a business but I must. I was gifted a gift card for my birthday and I thought I would use it on mother's days and bring my mother along. I've had a hair spa, neck massage before at an alternate place and it was the most beautiful experience. I worked in service before. When you book appointments, you should leave sometime in between for setting up, clean up or late walk-ins. I was there at 9:02 and the experience was just awful. The treatment used smelled like floor cleaner. The equipment used was so loud I cannot relax, and I made it a point to tell them that my mother had a neck pain and she was hardly given a massage. The previous experience outside of Yli we were given a blowout, hair straightening included in our service here my mother and I walked out with oil in our hair. I was told that I would be given an extra hair treatment for $25 and I have no idea what I paid for. I asked the attendant unknown name, why they did not begin with the scalp monitor and she said we walked in late. We were there at 9:02. I am so sad to have paid $130 for an awful experience and I have class and still paid the attendance when I know I should. Please don't waste your time here. Find something outside of this location. It's worth driving out to another place. Ask questions, for the price I could've gotten a full service elsewhere. No pictures were taken, I was so disappointed but I should have. My mom and I liked like we just woke up. read more

This is my second time here. I love this place. They are friendly. The environment is peaceful. And the skin treatments are amazing. They offer many services which I will definitely be trying. read more

I went in for a Groupon I purchased . It was 60 minute facial and 30 minute hair / scalp therapy. When I arrived she mentioned to me I had to pay an additional $25 for a hair wash and blow dry , that was not included in the $110 package I bought on Groupon. I was disappointed I had to pay an extra $25 . The place is cute and clean however it's not relaxing . The machines are loud and the walking w sandals clicking at every step was annoying -!: slamming of doors every time they entered or exited the room. Also the machines being rolled around it was very loud . She said I needed to go in 2-3 more times for extractions because I had too many so I get that I need to come back again for adddinal services . The wash and low dry sucked She tugged and pulled my hair so hard it was not relaxing . My blow dry was not dry I left w damp hair . I was not happy I would not go back read more

The ambiance, cleanliness and charm of this spa was wonderful. I have never had a professional facial so I can't compare it to anything but I won't be looking for another one. Yvonne was patient and guided me through the process. read more

As a massage therapist my expectations are usually high and I consider details that most people do not. I really enjoy the idea of being able to simply get a scalp massage for an hour. I haven't come across any spa that offer scalp massage alone, it's usually available only as an add on to other services. When I entered the spa, I was greeted by the receptionist and she directed me to have a seat at a consultation desk where she performed a scalp analysis in which I was able to watch the video of what she was seeing on my scalp. This was a nice touch but I would have been nice to know about it ahead of time. I was given the results and was recommended to get a different treatment than I initially came in to get. Since I was there specifically for the scalp massage I did not accept the offer to upgrade my service. The spa has 3 service rooms, my room was clean and well set up. See pictures. The therapist had good pressure and checked in with me a reasonable amount of times. The shampoo portion of the service was refreshing. The gentle rain bar was a nice touch. I would've like to have been offered a leg pillow for support, I had to ask for it. I would have like to have been educated about the benefits of the hair products used. I also have bleached blonde hair so knowing whether it was color safe would've been nice. I would have liked more time for massage on my neck and shoulders, the shampoo process seemed to waste a lot of water and I have a less than and inch of hair so I think this needs to be taken into account. Overall I would recommend giving this spa a shot to see if it's a good fit for you. The following day: I was initially told my scalp is oily. Of course, my appointment was at 3:45 in the afternoon and I also have bleached short hair so I use a salon grade leave in conditioner. Today my scalp is itchy. I do not use shampoos that strip your hair of its naturals oils, bleached or not. So I'm curious as to what ingredients were in the products used. If I return I will definitely take my own hair products. The messaging is a little unclear, is the service for the scalp massage or the health of your hair or scalp and does your consultation articulate that? I do not believe it did. No questions were asked about my hair care routine, contraindications or the state of my scalp day to day. read more

I have been coming here for a while now and always have a great experience I love that she customizes the facials to your skin type and the lymphatic facial massage You are also able to get packages which are always a good deal and the owner is really flexible on time! I sometimes call for last minute appointments and she is always kind enough to squeeze me in! 10/10 read more

Great experience. Had 3 services already.), lumphatic & massage & 2 facials. Feel renewed! Yvonne & Lilly are amazing!

I purchased a Groupon and I received service on February 25,2026. 90 minute combo. 60 minute facial and a 30 body massage. I completely enjoyed my experience. I even purchased a 5 session package. The facility is clean, the staff is pleasant. I'm looking forward to going back soon. read more

Highly recommend. I've had Services both with Yvonne and lily, both were stellar! This spot is a hidden gym and offers luxury services at an excellent price. You have private rooms with services that are approximately an hour long or more depending on what you order. Prior I would go to get acupressure massage at other places but I also separately went to go get my hair done because I have carpal tunnel and it is very hard for me to wash my hair and brush it. Lily combines Advanced acupressure techniques to go with a deep scalp massage, cleansing, UV light therapy, steam to seal the cuticle of your hair and they provide aromatherapy and serums to go on the hair as well. You are laying down with a nice warm blanket and it is very relaxing. I was pleasantly surprised particularly because they handled my hair texture no problem. I have kinky coily hair, black African American hair that is and they did a great job brushing it out at the end. They also did a great job of making sure the scalp was mostly dry at the end of the treatment to ensure that your scalp stays healthy. If you're looking for a blowout or silk press and you have kinky coily hair of course this would not be that kind of service but-if you're trying to maintain your scalp health and have a very small like luxury relaxing experience that will help seal the cuticle of your hair and maintain the health of your hair more from root to tip than this is the kind of service that you should do once a month! They also detangle at the end, so helpful. I also got a wonderful facial from Yvonne. She's a licensed esthetician who is very knowledgeable. I initially wanted to get a different service than what I ended up getting because she advised me based off my skin type what would be best. During the facial there is also excellent massage that is part of that service and she even cleaned up my eyebrows and did a great job keeping them very natural looking. For the next week I could see the difference in circulation to my face it looked more firm and skin looks tighter in the mirror. The package deal definitely is the way to go. If you get the package you can mix and match Services you're not committed to have to do anyone kind of service which really is lovely. It makes you want to come back and make sure you don't forget your self care because you do pay for it up front and you get a really good price if you get the package. I was also given a really nice free gift with the package that I have used and it is a very high quality gift. Staff are all women here, very kind and warm personalities. Highly recommend! read more

I've had my scalp treatment done twice by Yvonne, and she's absolutely amazing! It's always so easy to book an appointment with YLI Beauty Spa,the team is incredibly accommodating and communicates well. I live two hours away, and even when I was running late, they kindly adjusted my massage without cutting the time short. That level of professionalism and care really stood out to me. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience and highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality scalp treatments and great customer service. read more

My cousin was gifted a birthday lymphatic massage. We were able to schedule two sessions together. It was both our first times having this lymphatic massage. We enjoyed it so much that we bought the 10 Body Treatment Package right after. I can't say enough good things about my experiences with Sophia and Yvonne! Each session has been amazing, and the experience just gets better every time. My first lymphatic massage was with Sophia. She truly knows how to find and release areas of tension, leaving me feeling lighter and more relaxed. I noticed right away that the cortisol was leaving my body. I felt less stressed out. I was able to sleep better that night. My body was less bloated. My following sessions were with Yvonne. She went above and beyond by bringing out a hot stone for my abs, which was a unique and soothing addition I've never had before. Every time I get too stressed out, I ask my cousin to schedule us a massage. Each massage has been so effective that I can actually feel my body healing. Life gets stressful and each time I leave from my lymphatic massages I know my cortisol levels are dropping. I'm experiencing a noticeable improvement in my overall well-being and Yvonne has noticed. I highly recommend both Sophia and Yvonne for anyone looking to support their body's natural healing process! They have gift cards available. I know I will be gifting some lymphatic massages this Christmas. read more

Full disclosure,, you are asked if you have Yelp and if you could leave a review if you do, then they will add a hair mask to your treatment. This, of course, pressures you to write a good review but fortunately for me, I had a good experience and was able to give a four star review and still maintain an honest review! One star off is for the slight pressure of feeling like you have to write a good review for a hair mask. First time customers get a Special price. now I don't have much to compare it to since it's my first head scalp massage but it was wonderful and much needed. I'm so glad my chiropractor appointment was canceled read more

Came out looking like a clean baby! No but seriously. I got a Groupon for both a facial and a hair scalp treatment. My hair is pillow soft and feels so lightweight. My face feels so smooth!

I been coming to this Spa for almost a year now and I don't see myself going anywhere else I only go for the acne facial because I always struggled with acne and it hurts sometimes but my skin has gotten so much better. When I go they clean my face, leave a mask on they give me a massage on the arms and neck then use a steamer for about 5 minutes after that she really cleans my face she'll get out black heads and pimples after that she'll put another mask on and let my face rest but there's so many other facials she provides also read more

Came here for a lymphatic massage treatment,that was more like a regular massage. So confused as to why she was working so fast! She offered a foot & hand scrub/mask that wasn't pleasant $30 extra! Being a 1st time customer & also massage therapist myself, I would not recommend this treatment here. They also don't give any instructions on what NOT to do during the 1st 24hrs. This can really ruin the benefits & experience to someone who doesn't know. read more

Yli Beauty Spa - Front desk - Day Spas Near Me - Whittier, California

I purchased a Groupon for a 75 min acne facial for my 16 year old daughter. She's had many acne facials over the years. Our regular lady moved out of state, so we turned to Groupon to try a new place. This "spa" is located in a run down strip mall. We set up the appointment for today, June 19th at 2 pm. We arrived a little early and the lady at the front desk said they had availability for her to start the service early. Right away she walks over to my daughter and looks at her face, stating that she doesn't need an acne facial, rather another facial, which is $25 more. I declined and she immediately looked irritated. Then she proceeds to tell me the service will be an hour or less because my daughter doesn't have acne. The photos below prove otherwise. She then hovers over me to make sure I redeem the Groupon right then. The lady at the front counter is the same lady who performed the service. My daughter came out of the room 40 minutes later visibly upset and tearing up. I asked her what was wrong she said she didn't feel comfortable the whole time and that she was using a needle to pop pimples and being very rough with her hands. Keep in mind that my daughter has had these facials several times a year for years so she knows what to expect. I looked at her face and she had some type of white mask in her hair, on the side of her face, and on her shirt. I pointed that out and the lady was defensive claiming that my daughter wouldn't let her clean her face. But never offered a towel or to clean it after. She was providing a facial service. I'm not sure how this stuff ended up on in her hair, on her hands, and clothing. I walked my daughter to the car to talk to her. She said she doesn't know what she was doing to her face, but it wasn't normal. I went back inside to talk to the lady that performed the service, who I assume is the owner. I calmly requested a refund and gave the reasons why and she became irate, screaming at me and telling me I'm crazy several times. I asked her to calm down multiple times and she refused. She continued to yell at me and became very aggressive. To avoid any escalation, I chose to leave and I let her know I will be leaving her this review. Just a heads up, while I was there another lady finished a service on a gentleman and then proceeded to to tell him how much he should tip her. If you like to be upsold to unnecessary services and told how much to tip, this is your place. read more

Amazing hair spa experience!!! Will definitely come back! Staff is kind and very welcoming!

Terrible!!!!! I was super excited to try a new spot for a head scalp wash and massage and at first everything seemed pretty good. But I left super confused as to what exactly it was that I paid for because I came home and had to re-wash my hair to get all of the knots and tangles out. She put some sort of essential oil throughout my entire scalp and massaged it in, by this point I'm thinking everything is gonna go great until she starts to shampoo my hair... she lathered a large amount of shampoo all over my head, and did not even scrub it in. The shampoo was simply placed on top of my hair and washed right out. I don't believe she used conditioner in my hair either.... Then she attempts to blow dry my hair and brushes it with the tiniest travel sized brush that left me with knots and extremely tangled hair, not to mention my hair was still super wet when I left. The brush was so tiny, that she only brushed the top layer of my hair, which left me with a bunch of knots underneath..... Not only does my scalp feel extremely irritated with whatever it was she used prior to the shampoo, but it looks and feels terrible. The woman was super nice but she had no idea what she was doing when it came to the scalp wash. I would like a refund of the $70 that I paid for in cash.. Please train your staff to do a job correctly and thoroughly. I don't believe that these reviews are all true and real.... Take your money elsewhere. read more

My first time coming here! Found this place on a whim as I was looking for something open in Veterans Day/my day off. I got the the first time client special scalp care treatment It's started by going into a private room that and was asked to place a wrap around towel. Yvonne ( the manager) did my treatment. We started off with a scalp massage and then did the shoulder and neck massage. She then went in with shampooing and when we did the conditioner treatment, was able to steam my head as shown in the picture Easy spot to find, good parking, very clean and aesthetically pleasing Easy to make appointment too! Loved my experience I also asked for cupping on my back and shoulder which is where I carry most of my stress read more

I wasn't even going to write this review until she laughed at my $7 tip like we're not in a recession. This facial has me so traumatized. She was so rough on my face! I kept clenching! Her nails were sharp and were digging into my skin. She said I was being nervous and asked if I ever had a facial before! She didn't even avoid my eyes or mouth so it kept going in my mouth. Nothing about this was relaxing at all! I couldn't wait for it to be over! I won't be coming back. And she laughed when I told her to charge $7 for tip!!! read more

Loved the scalp treatment, they did an amazing job. My mom and I both left very relaxed

This place keeps trying to sell you packages even after you've already bought one. I was only halfway through my current package when they started pushing me to get another. Coming to a spa should be relaxing, but the constant upselling really takes away from the experience. read more

Loved it! It's been so long that I felt this relaxed. I struggle from a dry and itchy scalp, especially when the weather gets colder so this was much needed. The service was amazing, the staff was extremely nice. I came with a bigger group and they allowed us to bring our own snacks and bubbly. They also gave complimentary gifts as it was our first time. I will definitely come here again and take advantage of their specials. read more

DO NOT recommend. Got an hour deep tissue First 25 minutes she just pushed on me. It was so bad I tried to leave half way through. Answered phone calls during my massage and then told me her hands hurt so she couldn't focus on my problem areas read more

Went in on a slow Sunday. The front desk lady said I was lucky since they normally are booked and do appointment only so keep that in mind if you are going for the first time. I had an Aqua facial, it was about 75 min and $138. It was my first time doing a facial but it was relaxing and everything was clean. The location is a little sketchy but worth the visit. read more

This was my first time getting a head and scalp care treatment, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. When I first walked in, the setting felt calming with Zen music, so I expected a relaxing session. They checked my scalp with a 3-D scanner and told me it was dry. I originally purchased the $45 Groupon, but I was convinced to upgrade to the $78 service, assuming it would be a higher-quality treatment. The massage for my head, shoulders, and neck started off well, but everything went downhill once the scalp "treatment" began. The scalp wash felt very surface-level and didn't actually reach or massage my scalp. The mask was applied only around my hairline instead of my full scalp, and although I have long hair, she only washed the ends -- not the scalp she claimed was dry. Then I was left under running water for about 15 minutes with no explanation. Even worse, she took two phone calls during my service, speaking loudly in the room. This completely ruined any sense of relaxation and felt extremely unprofessional. Between the phone calls, the loud water motor, and long periods of doing nothing, the Zen atmosphere was gone. Overall, the service did not match what I paid for, especially after being talked into upgrading. I left feeling frustrated, not relaxed, and I would not recommend this place based on my experience. read more

I went in yesterday for a 90 minute service that included a 60 minute facial with a 30 minute head spa therapy I called before scheduling my appointment to check the price. She told me it was originally $99 I then went on Groupon and purchased the exact same thing for $80. The quality of everything was very poor. The lady I had was aggressive when moving my head. Would slam the door walking in and out. At the end of my service, I showed my Groupon voucher and she got very upset. She made me pay full price on top of my voucher. Not only that, but she still asked for a tip. In which I gave her five dollars on top of the 25 I had already given her. She just looked at me in disbelief and said five dollars for 90 minutes? I highly don't recommend this place. Take this experience and save your money for somewhere better. read more

Service was just okay overall--I wouldn't visit again. I got 2nd or 3rd highest hair scalp deep cleansing/head spa. The shoulder and neck massage was barely noticeable, despite being advertised, and my hair was actually more tangled after the head spa. They simply dried my wet hair with hot air, with no protection whatsoever. I had to rewash and treat my hair as soon as I got home. read more
