Amy Rae Aesthetics on Beverly Boulevard opened this past spring, with a mind for holistic, organic treatments.
It's a peaceful space with a lovely assortment of products, which are selected based on your individual skin and body concerns. Owner Amy Rae says this treatment is most favored by people with a looming special occasion in the next 72 hours or so--a wedding, or a stroll down a red carpet, perhaps.
Other treatments include massage, acupuncture, allergy testing, and the spa also has an infrared sauna. You can't make a spa list without Wi Spa, the longstanding, 48,square-foot, hour Korean day spa located on Wilshire Boulevard.
You could probably live in this spa. It's got a gym, a restaurant, locker rooms, saunas and rooms where you can hang out and answer your emails while lying on a warm onyx floor or a room full of small clay beads. They also have a wide variety of treatments, including their famed body scrub, during which you will be efficiently relieved of your dead skin and emerge as smooth as a baby.
Wi Spa is located at Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown, Burke Williams is an obvious choice, and we'd be remiss not to include them. They have nine locations in California, but the one you're least likely to have visited is their new Hollywood location, which replaces their West Hollywood spot with a much larger spa. Guests may linger in the Conservatory, decorated with peacock feathers and skylights that show a tropical scene, where mini-treatments are performed.
For guests in between services, there's also a whirlpool, which can be found behind a shimmering curtain just inside the entrance to the locker rooms. Their Custom Blend Alchemy Bar allows guests to mix up their own lotions and scrubs using a variety of criteria, including health concerns, numerology and simple preferences. Treatments at all Burke Williams spas include the usual massages, pedicures and facials, though their new Ayurvedic treatments may be new to Americans: for instance, the Shirodhara involves continually pouring oil on the body for the duration of a light relaxation massage.
It concludes with a steady oil flow on the forehead, which is believed to have a calming effect. For those suffering a bout of winter dryness, it's a warm and indulgent service that can be finished with a relaxing shower to rinse the oil from their hair and a blowout via the spa's blow-dry bar available at the Hollywood and Woodland Hills locations.
At each, their many regulars enjoy their soothing massages, facials and body treatments. Departing from the more clinical decor of the hotel spas, Raven chooses to decorate with mismatched vintage furniture, chandeliers, mirrors and statues. The Silver Lake spot has a beautiful lounge area and pretty tilework, and both are tranquil without feeling too uptight.
The Rock Star is a signature treatment and includes a lavender salt scrub, a traditional Thai massage and an organic yogurt oat mask. The Raven Spa is located at Rowena Ave. This breezy, clean spot is an uncomplicated way to get a reasonably priced massage. You can book online or they take walk-ins. The desert-chic decor was inspired by a resort in Tulum, according to Vogue.
The Now is located at Beverly Blvd. I saw Brittany for a deep tissue massage and ashiatsu. She was fantastic - she listened to what I wanted, dedicated herself to the entire 90 minutes, and clearly knew what she was doing. I feel great. Also - it was awesome that she got that I'm not a big talker during massages, and totally respected that. I'll be back - also Spa La La in general was awesome with some scheduling difficulty I had - thanks for being so chill and to Brittany for doing such a great job.
The scent when we started and when I flipped over was a really nice touch - same with the hot foot towels! I went to Coraly for Ashiatsu, and a few Hydrafacials. I've gotten several deep tissue massages before, but the Ashiatsu massage was something much better! I've honestly never felt better than I did after the Ashiatsu I got from Coraly! My skin has never looked better than after the hydrafacial!
My pores were so clogged and I was getting such bad acne from wearing masks Coraly is extremely professional, clean, and talented. I'd recommend her to anyone! Spa La La has a convenient location in West Lake Hills, and the owner, Coraly Serrano, is one of the very best massage therapists in town. My wife found Coraly from a glowing recommendation on Nextdoor a few years ago, and we have both been seeing her regularly ever since. Highly recommended. Amazing massage!
I've been a therapist 20 years and Coraly is by far the best therapist I've come across! And I'm super picky! Great pressure and touch! She did an excellent job of blending many different massage techniques! Will certainly be back!!! It has eluded other therapists but Coraly found it perfectly! She was professional, talented and thorough at massage. I had a facial from Coraly a few weeks ago and my friends are still asking me what I'm doing to my skin Her new location in Westlake looks pretty dang good too.
This is one of the best massages I've ever had. She is phenomenal. She is professional and Affective. I recommend her whole heartedly. Coraly has an amazing bed side manner and the spa is very relaxing I felt all my stress slip away. If you dont know what a hydrafacal is here is a quick write up: HydraFacial is a hydradermabrasion facial combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection in a non-invasive process.
Our recommendation? The Caviar Lifting and Firming facial , which left our editorial director with a blindingly bright complexion. Pro tip: Set aside a few hours to take advantage of the full spa experience for ultimate relaxation.
Location: Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills. The first thing you'll notice upon entering the Arcona Studio is the clean, open, and welcoming atmosphere that mimics that of the beach located a few blocks away. They offer a wide variety of spa treatments, but they're best known for their effective facials.
Location : S. Robertson Blvd, Beverly Hills. We can say with utmost certainty that you would be hard-pressed to find a more luxurious experience in LA or anywhere, for that matter. They offer almost every spa treatment under the sun--hair services, massages, skincare, even IV therapy which happens to be a super popular LA detox treatment. As for their skincare services, we love that they use Biologique Recherche products--a longtime Byrdie favorite. La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles.
This Japanese spa is like nothing else. Go in for a restorative massage in its light, airy, and ultra-soothing environment, and your life might actually change. Take it from Associate Features Editor, Amanda Montell, " Tomoko Spa offers the most luxurious, high-end, and truly restorative massages in the city.
Possibly the country. From the chic, minimalist decor, to the impeccably trained massage therapists, to the techniques themselves which blend eastern and western techniques to provide healing that is both physical and spiritual - it is truly a matchless experience. It's the most alarmingly expensive massage I've ever received, but also by far the best.
Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills. The Hotel Bel-Air Spa is fully loaded with amenities. Try one of their private marble rain showers, mosaic steam rooms, or something called the Enclave, which features a private patio and waterfall we don't know about you, but private waterfall might be the single most ritzy phrase we've ever uttered.
The Larchmont Sanctuary Spa has a calm and cozy aesthetic that will make you feel like you're away at a countryside cottage.
But don't mistake the quaint interior for a lack of luxury.
