As a 15th anniversary gift some friends of ours gifted me and the hubby each a 50 min massage with an enhancement add on for Burke Williams. I've been to a couple other locations and this was the hubbys first time and so we picked the Pasadena location. We made reservations for a Saturday at 4pm. We got there an hour early to take advantage of the spa. It is coed but separate areas for men and women. I loved the jacuzzi, dry sauna and steam sauna also. We also got a locker with a key to put our things in, as well as a robe and slippers to use which were super comfortable. Throughout the spa I loved the washcloths that were surrounded by ice to keep you cool and also the aromatherapy ones. I enjoyed my massage! Shout out to Stephanie!! She applied the perfect pressure on my neck and shoulders which I wanted her to focus on. After our massages we stayed in the spa another 30 min or so before leaving. We truly enjoyed our experience and hopefully will be able to go back in the future!

For Christmas, my boyfriend got me a sweet and thoughtful gift card to Burke Williams. I decided to use it to explore new locations. Previously I have been to the Orange and Mission Viejo locations, so I thought it would be fun to check out the Pasadena location. It's in the Old Town area, and the nearest public parking lot is off Green and Fair Oaks. I really loathe paying for parking and having to walk over. For any first timers to Burke Williams, they are a luxury European style spa, meaning the spa area is generally naked. Bathing suits are optional. In the spa area, they have lockers, a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, showers, and vanity tables. There are also quiet rooms for napping in its' own area in the front by the lobby. This location only has the lobby as the co-ed hanging out area. Compared to other BW locations, they are smaller and more busy. I usually spend about 3 and a half hours at BWs and this time was the same. I started off with a strong shower. The other locations has their shaving cream for grabs outside, but this location has a shaving cream inside each shower. And then I went over to the jacuzzi, then the sauna, and then to the quiet room for a little nap. Then I showered again before my treatment time and headed to the lobby before my treatment. When it was time for 80 min Pure Relaxation Massage ($245 regular/$285 member pricing), Pearl came to get me from the lobby and welcomed me up the stairs. Most of their treatment rooms seem to be upstairs. The treatment room seemed to have the same equipment and general layout as other BWs but less square footage. I had an amazing time with Pearl. She started off asking me if I had any areas I wanted to focus on, and any injuries or areas to be careful with. She was thoughtful throughout the massage and made sure the pressure was to my liking. There was a good amount of massage oil used the whole treatment. I was soooooo relaxed. Pearl gave my wrist and forearm the additional attention I requested. When the massage was over, she placed my warmed robed on the table, just as expected with all BW massage experiences. I had such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The highest compliment I can ever give someone is that I would come back and book another massage with Pearl. After my treatment Pearl walked me back towards the lobby and reminded me to stay hydrated for the next few days. She was super sweet and thoughtful and definitely the best encounter I had with the Pasadena location. After my service I went to take another shower and got ready at their vanity tables. Unfortunately there were MULTIPLE dirty brushes in the clean bin. Which reminds me the showers had a lot of hairs on the wall. Super turn off. There was a lot of staff in the spa area so I'm not sure if they missed it since it was so crowded or if they were more focused on other areas of the spa area. Staff also mentioned that this is the oldest location in the area... and I can see that... in the sense that the layout is less thoughtful than the other locations, such as locker rooms where you change is in high foot traffic areas. I waited for a bit at check out, but staff was very helpful. They were able to give me my day pass and bring a friend that was part of the gift card deal that the Mission Viejo location forgot to give me. Loved the massage and the amenities, but I don't enjoy the crowd and there's room for improvement with the cleanliness. I don't blame the business for doing well, but I do feel like they can maintain better cleanliness of their facilities for how much they charge for our services. Of the Burke Williams locations I have been to, my favorite is the Orange location which is the largest, and then Mission Viejo for an intimate quiet experience, and this places last. Nevertheless it's still a superior spa experience where I've never had a bad treatment at any BWs.

I love a good spa and burke williams has been on my list to go to. I have one near my area but was in town visiting and my friend recommended this one. Overall the location is nice and the customer service is great. Do I think the experience is worth the money I wouldn't necessarily say so. I booked a deep tissue massage which was I believe $240. That's probably the most Ive paid. In my opinion I feel like the massage was good. I asked for more pressure and it was not a problem. I did get in the jacuzzi before hand and I also went to the quiet room to nap. I will say that they provide enough things for you to shower, do your hair and other things. They did offer a membership which would lower the price so I do think the point is to become a member and get the lower rate. They have a no phone policy and will let you know ahead of time so I wasnt able to get pictures of the vibe.

I came here with my cousins for her birthday. I was so in need of a massage and just relaxation. I normally go to Torrance location so this was my first time. When I came in they spoke and asked my name and time of appointment. They asked if I had been to this location and I said no, so they said they would have someone show me around. This location is much smaller and the only complaint that I have is the locker area it's a little too close for comfort and where I was placed was near where the ladies did their hair etc so I didn't feel like I had any or enough privacy. Everyone was very friendly here. I received an 80 minute massage and when I say it was thee best OMG!!! Best massage I have had in a long time or ever. I really want to gate keep her name but I'll share lol. It was Johanna please excuse me if I didn't spell it correctly, she was so knowledgeable and just hit the right spots: she is honestly what will keep me coming to this location and I don't live close. I will for sure be back for a massage with her only. She was amazing, she needs a raise.

Do you have any male therapist recommendations (medium to firm technique)? I go to the Hollywood location, but Pasadena is a little closer to home.

Hello and Good afternoon! We are so glad you want to visit Pasadena. We have multiple male therapists that we would recommend. To name a few, here are some names: Andrew, John, William, Craig, Levi. Thank you and see you soon!

Does anybody know which shampoo they have in their showers? It left my hair really soft...

I want to know too!!

Can i make a same day massage appointment?

Yes you can. However, if you are looking for a particular masseuse, you may not be able to book them. BW gets booked up very quickly due to their excellent service!

Are they open yet and finished with the remodel?

Yes but keep your expectations low

What is your policy for transgender patrons; specifically, are biological males allowed to use the female areas of the spa?

Are males allowed to use the female areas of the spa? Kinda defeats the purpose of the ladies having their own areas.

Do they have a pool? Not just jacuzzi... and is there outdoor sitting area?

No they don't.

I was given a gift certificate almost a year ago, how do I find out if it's still valid?

In California, gift certificates cannot expire, ever (so long as the company remains in business.) The only exception relates to promotional value-- eg similar to Groupon, where the buyer paid X but the certificate has a higher value during a… Read more

Has anyone tried the 4 Layer Resurfacing Facial? Wondering about the recovery time. TIA!

No down time! I had a lot of redness (sensitive skin) and it was all gone by 1 hour past. Glowing

Do men or women or both do massages?

Both. You can choose

Do they validate parking?

No they don't validate parking.

I used to be a member of this spa. However, when I found out about their exclusion of men on Saturdays (which was a new policy at the time), I no longer felt comfortable being a member there on any day. Do they still exclude men?

I've been there numerous times on Saturdays. Never heard of it.

I've been to a lot of massage places. Some ghetto. Some luxurious. But rarely do I actually enjoy…read morethe massage. Until now. My sister introduced me to this place but several of my colleagues have also recommended Beautiful Day. I have fallen in love! An hour massage here is like HEAVEN! From the moment you walk in, Dustin or Jason will happily greet you, have you fill out a quick form to circle all the spots you want focus on, and then they walk you to your massage location. I've had two different gals massage me and both are exceptional! I have zero complaints! Pressure was amazing, pacing was great, technique was perfect. I just love it. I took my mom today and she usually is like "meh" after a massage but after coming here, she could not stop praising them! It helped her sciatica so much! She said all the tension in her leg and head were gone! It's a small place but it's so clean, so welcoming, and so professional! The only thing I will mention is you need to leave early so you don't get caught up in Pasadena traffic. There is a parking structure nearby that has dedicated spots for Beautiful Day and it's like a 2-minute walk. I will be taking my mom and sister back here often. Thank you, guys!

I want to address an issue regarding my appointment last June 23, which I inadvertently…read moredouble-booked and failed to cancel. This was an honest mistake on my part. The front desk staff were understanding and indicated they would let it slide, which I appreciated, as I have not visited your establishment in quite some time. However, I recently noticed an additional $20 charge on my credit card for the double booking. While policies are in place, this is excessive given the circumstances. I'm willing to accept the charge, but I must express my disagreement. I am never going back to your business. To be clear, I was a generous tipper for your staff during my visit, yet that seems to have had no bearing on my overall experience. This has led me to reconsider my loyalty to your business. Numerous alternatives offer similar services, and their customer service is worth considering. You may have lost a long-term customer due to this incident. I hope you take this feedback seriously. Is your business really that desperate for $20?

She let me know that I could use it online and to book there. I wasn't sure why she couldn't book it over the phone, but just let it go and booked online. The day before my massage I got a call and a text asking if I could change my appointment time to 15 minutes earlier. I let them know the day of my appointment that it was fine. When I walked in there were 3-4 people behind the counter. They offered water which was nice but it was room temp/warm. I then had to fill out a long intake form which I wish I could have done online. They handed me an iPad with no base or stand so I was just holding it and typing. I hurriedly finished the intake which is the longest massage intake form I've ever filled out. There was a very awkward introduction to my massage therapist. The whole check in experience felt like it was everyone's first day. The room where the massages are done are shared, similar to a foot massage place. They had an ocean sound playing, but it was so loud that I couldn't hear my therapist when he asked me questions. I could occasionally hear other people talking which snaps you out of the relaxation zone. The actual massage was good. I got The Now, 50 min with added deep tissue. The total with tip was around $185. At that price, I'd rather pay a little more and go to a place that has more amenities and feels more like an experience. When left, they gave me the breakdown of the membership which feels like a timeshare pitch. If you're not a member you're basically overpaying. Even at the member price I don't know if it's worth it. Parking is free with validation, so that was nice.
