Having grown up with the owner's daughter, I've had the good fortune of knowing about this well kept LA secret for years.
Aside from their amazingly priced and skillful facials ($60-$85, if you add on time in their new hydrotherapy spa facilities) and waxing (we're talking EVERYTHING from your toes to your navel for $62), they've recently expanded into the three story space next door they've turned into a clean, modern, glass and travertine mecca of affordable beauty.
Despite their services getting all of the attention, their products - which they formulate and manufacture themselves, even private labeling to many big name cosmetic companies like Benefit - are not to be missed. These are hands down the best quality for the best price you can buy. For an inexpensive treat, try the minty Exfoliating Body Scrub for $11. One of their best sellers, the Mint Souffle, is still one of my favorite face washes. Their wide variety of facial moisturizers are still only $20 each and of a quality you'd expect to pay at least double for.
The expansion includes a rooftop area set to open soon for outdoor massages, mani/pedi and sunning. Can't wait!
Tip: If you want the best Brazilian you've ever had, make an appointment with Tanya. For facials, try to get in with Raya herself, or her daughter-in-law, Lily. They're both amazing.
Note: They're open seven days and have extended hours to accommodate even the busiest girls. And P.S. - they do have the yummy Burke-esque water, it's just upstairs in the spa area ;)
