Came here with my boyfriend for the first time to get couples massages and I personally won't be back. My masseuse was rough and now my back is extremely sore. Feels like someone has repeatedly punched me in the same area over and over. During the massage I kept telling her, that hurts, not so rough but she didn't let up. I didn't get her name but I wish I had of. read more

After going there for 3 + years with great experiences, My visit today really changed my mind about this place. This Masseur name Aileen was a nightmare 1. The masseur had a phone on the bed vibrating through out the session 2. Her nails were pinching me while the massage 3. Really rough. Just felt like a torture program 4. She forgot the add on hot stone ($10 extra!) and when I pointed out, she did it on a pitch for 3 minutes and it was really rough. 5. She didn't do the Thai stretch at the end which is a part of combination massage. The place only offered me $5 off for this horrific experience. Really disappointed read more

I've been going to Candle spa for a while now and what I like about it is not only my therapist's technique, and his consistency, but it is clean, accommodating, punctual and overall very professional.

I had a deep tissue massage here last weekend and it was great! They have special pricing for massages before 1:00pm (I think) and I was able to take advantage of that. My 60 minute massage was only $40! You really can't beat that pricing. The room was dark and the music was soothing. Loved the fountains/sound of running water. The table could be a little more padded but it wasn't uncomfortable. The masseuse who did my massage was great. Adjusted the pressure when I asked and focused on the areas I requested. I will definitely be back! P.S. Parking is in a lot and easy (AND free)- huge bonus! read more

I accidentally stopped by this place when I visited my cousin in the valley. On that day I had a really bad back pain because I lifted something heavy. I don't remember the guy who gave me a massage, All I know about him is he has strong and magic hands that could fix my back. I could hear my back cracking in the middle of a session. The best thing about it is the price is unbelievably affordable. read more

In celebration of our 5 year wedding anniversary, my husband and I wanted to book a couples massage..and I'm SO GLAD we did! It was absolutely wonderful. The establishment was simple, clean and the staff were very polite. We were quickly attended to as soon as we arrived Mae & Jane did a terrific job, they were both very kind and professional. I have 2 small children and my back usually kills me at the end of the day. My husband is confined to an office chair for long hours so he usually feels the same aches and pains.

The place is clean and a very relaxing vibe as you wait in the waiting room for them to prepare. We opted for the hot stones and cbd oil and it was a great experience.

Candle Spa is one of the few places we know we can get a consistently good massage. We have been there many many times and never really were disappointed with any masseuse, but in particular received wonderful massages from Amy, Lila and Irene. The tables are warmed and it always seems clean and fairly quiet. We make sure to tip $30 or so for an hour massage. The work they do is physically demanding and they deserve it. read more

My back feels SO MUCH BETTER. Great location too. I've been to many different massage facilities but this particular one is a great Plan B if one cannot afford or 'prefers' not to afford a chiropractor. After years of walking/standing on those hard department store floors, during my years at the cosmetic counter, Candle Spa has quickly become my "go to place", (out of all the others I've been to). Im now in year #5 of coming here. Thank you so much, Amy, for leaving the hot stones all over my back today, while you worked on the rest of me. AAAAAHHHHH!!! P.S. when filling out the card of upon arrival, I've learned that writing clearly and in large words makes it easier on them to read your instructions as they work on you in the low lighted room. This place is like a mini Glen Ivy facility. So guys and gals....behave! No sexual favors! Some moron ruined it for the rest of us.

I have had over 100 massages in my life and I can tell you Andy is by far the best I have ever had. He is strong, competent, and he is a true healer. I have known him for five years and he really is the only massage therapist who truly helps me. I drive all the way from Long Beach to Studio City just so I can get massage from him. His technique is flawless and his ability to cure your pain is unmatched. I have herniated discs in my lower back and after every session, Andy has restored my ability to stand and walk without pain. If you have any pain or are needing a true healer, then book Andy at Candle Spa. You will not regret your choice. Support your local healers! read more

By far the best massage I've had in the area. Andy was able to work out a significant amount of tension in my back deriving from a car accident and some overuse injuries. I've tried almost a dozen different massage therapists of varying specialties, and never had a masseur as detailed that could work through the tightness in my shoulders.

I have been to this place twice- once pre-Covid and once more recently. They have renovated in the last year and it feels nicer than my last visit. It was a good deep massage. My only complaint is that the masseuse moved really fast, like she was racing to get through a routine. The speed of movement took away from the experience a bit but it still got the job done and I felt great after. I only mention it because my husband also felt the same about his with a different masseuse. read more

The restroom is always spotless, the lighting is soft and calming, and the subtle aromatherapy instantly puts you in relaxation mode.

I have been a regular at Candle Spa for a few years now, and until a recent visit, I had always experienced excellent service. However, during my last appointment, there was confusion about the services I had booked and the timing, which was frustrating. Despite providing clear notes through their website, the staff was not helpful in resolving the issue at the time. Additionally, the massage therapist did not focus on the areas I had requested and caused discomfort in other areas. After leaving a review, the business owner contacted me to apologize and take responsibility for the situation, which I do appreciate. While my experience on that day was not ideal and the staff present during the appointment did not try to correct the issue, the owner's efforts to make things right have left me with a more positive impression. Thank you for addressing my concerns. read more

I absolutely agree with the general rave reviews of candle spa and its star Andy! I'd also add Oliver to the list and state that either one or both is a MUST! Yes, deep, strong, professional and consistent massages, but mostly the overall mindfulness and consideration these guys provide - well, just doesn't compare to anywhere else! As a professional who sits all day everyday, it is always a huge relief from the work stress of being present with others and a real release of the week's obligation to hold onto the emotional pain of others! I know I can accept and receive authentic care with Andy or Oliver or both! I'm a customer for life! read more

I have now patronized Candle Spa 2 times and both visits were positive. It was an easy trek from Weho, just over the hill. I was reintroduced to Andy who I use to see at his day spa in Hollywood before it closed. And this place has a parking lot so parking was easy. On my 2nd visit, Andy was not available so I was attended to by Oliver. It was obvious both guys are professionally trained therapist who enjoy their work and it doesn't hurt that they are both sweet and pleasing to the eye. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I cannot afford to go there more often. read more

Was driving by the area and decided to check out on yelp, the reviews were good so I decided to give it a try. Great decision. The rates are affordable and the massage skills are amazing. I had Andy assigned to me and his massage work is top notch. I told him my shoulders and calf has knots and he went to work, slowly working out each knot. He provided a very relaxing massage but Definitely therapeutic by working out knots and did a good amount of stretching to correct my posture. I would highly recommend this place and ask for Andy. read more

I highly recommend Candle Spa if you're looking for a great massage. Ask for Andy. He's the best. I explained a recent injury and he took great care to focus on that (as well as the rest of me) and I already feel better. I don't know how he does it, but he can sense where the tension in my muscles is. He focuses on the knots and gets 'em out. He pays attention and is a good guy. The location is convenient whether you're in the valley or the city and there's free parking. Friendly receptionist, too. read more

Great massage by Andy!!! This guy has been consistent in providing a truly therapeutic and relaxing massage for years... name it, back pain, shoulders lower extremities, he got you covered. He would even get in touch the next day to check if desired result is obtained...that is the reason i always follow him everywhere he works at. His new place in Studio City is a "thumbs-up" - classy, clean with friendly and respectful staff as well. Highly recommended! read more

What a wonderful spa and the best services. I stopped by Candle spa for a massage. Andy, my massage therapist gave me a warm welcome. I had Thai massage which relaxed me from stressful at work. It was exactly nice. Andy was very skillful and the place was with good environment and decoration. I would recommended yelp people who looking for new place to relax, visiting candle spa to explore the new experience of good massage here. read more

This place is great and conveniently located ,very clean and relaxing. My favorite new place. Andy was beyond incredible. He did an excellent job on deep tissue. Really gets deep and leaves you walking away feeling light and relaxed. My previous massage by Oliver was also amazing. Parking is available which makes things a lot easier. read more

great service all around, from front desk to the therapist that worked on me. Im quite sensitive and she knew exactly where and how to put pressure without me being uncomfortable or in pain. The feet, which I normally don't like to be touched, were cared for with sensitivity. The place itself is very calming an clean - a big PLUS! read more

The pressure was just right, and she checked in throughout the massage to make sure I was comfortable. The atmosphere was peaceful, with relaxing music and no distracting background noise, which made it easy to fully unwind. My massage also included hot stones, a scalp and head massage, and my choice of essential oil. I chose lavender, and it was a lovely, relaxing addition to the experience. I also appreciated that they used doTERRA essential oils--it was a nice touch and felt like a quality addition. I was a little hesitant to book because I had seen a few negative reviews beforehand, but my experience was completely different. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and much better than when I arrived. Rose was professional, attentive, and provided excellent service. I would happily come back again and would definitely recommend Massage Cove, especially if you book with Rose. The only feedback I would offer is more of a suggestion than a complaint. As someone who is sensitive to fragrances, I think using unscented laundry detergent for the linens and an unscented massage lotion by default (with the option to add essential oils, as they already do) could make the experience even more comfortable for guests with scent sensitivities. Overall, though, I had a great experience and look forward to returning.

When I told the therapist that she was hurting me, she laughed and then continued to go back to using very hard pressure. There was also a significant language barrier.

The treatment rooms are very small, with little privacy, and you can hear everything happening around you. Overall, I did not feel good about the experience and would not return.

I've been here before (a while ago) and hoped things had improved--but they haven't. The massage…read morewas excellent, but the checkout experience ruined it. I paid $120 for 90 minutes and tipped $20 (~17%), a fair, generous gratuity. Despite that, I was asked for "just $5 more." There's also a posted "suggested tip" of $30 for 90 minutes--25%, well above industry norms. And for perspective: $30 on a 60-minute session ( $80 service based on their 90-min rate) would be ~37.5%. Tipping should be voluntary, not forced. Don't shake down clients after a relaxing session. Good bodywork; entitled, aggressive tipping expectations killed the vibe.

Squeeze Massage Studio City is hands down my go to for a full body reset. Every therapist I've had…read morehere has been consistently amazing, intuitive, and genuinely focused on the tension points that need the most attention. The massage beds are perfectly warm, and I love that you can choose your own oil and the music you want to hear, which makes the whole experience feel completely personalized. Their complimentary tea comes in different flavors and the cozy lounge area is such a nice touch if you arrive early or you're waiting for a friend or partner who's also in a session. The restroom is always spotless, the lighting is soft and calming, and the subtle aromatherapy instantly puts you in relaxation mode. Having a membership gives me a great discount, so this level of self care feels even more worth it. Pro tip: download their app when booking because you can set your preferences in advance and specify which pressure points you want them to focus on. Street parking is easy to find, and there's a lovely café nearby that's perfect for chilling before or after your massage. I walk out every single time feeling lighter, restored, and completely pampered. Truly worth every dollar.

The massage itself was great, and I would come back for that reason alone. However, the…read moremanager/front desk employee was extremely rude and unprofessional. My husband left a tip, but she pressured us for more money as if we were obligated to give extra, which was really off-putting. She also spoke in broken English, made no effort to explain herself clearly, and got angry when we did not understand her. She said that if we were not going to leave even more of a tip, she would rather tell us to find another place. The price for the massage is actually good; what stings is being asked for more so aggressively. There is also no privacy at all in the massage rooms--you can hear moans, conversations, and other clients throughout the place. The spa is clearly outdated and has not been remodeled in a long time. What's worse is that the manager seems not to care about anything anyone says; she is only good at demanding money. Like, if she wants that more money, change the price; instead of $50, charge $60!!!! I hate when they demand for a tip like that

I've been coming to Pampered Foot Spa for almost 5 years now, and it's consistently one of my…read morefavorite places to unwind and reset. My advice to anyone new be specific about what you want. The staff here listens and tailors the experience to your needs. I usually get the combo massage ($50), which includes neck, back, feet, and head perfect for full-body relaxation. My neck and back always need extra love, and they never disappoint. Today I had Lucy, who was very sweet and gave a solid medium-to-strong massage. If you're looking for deep, hard pressure, I'd recommend one of the male therapists, but for me today's session was just right. I left feeling relaxed and recharged. The location is super convenient right on Ventura Blvd in a plaza with easy parking. They take both appointments and walk-ins, which is great for my schedule. The pricing is reasonable and fair, especially for the quality of service. I make it a point to come at least once a month to pamper myself. Highly recommend if you need a reliable massage spot in the Valley!

Disappointed -- especially by the attitude toward tipping…read more I booked a massage after a really hard, exhausting week and a long working day. I was extremely tired and came there simply wanting to relax and switch off. To be completely honest, the massage itself was not perfect. The woman who worked on me seemed very inexperienced -- honestly, at times it felt like it might have been one of her first massages. There was no real flow, some of the movements felt clumsy, and there were moments when it seemed like she wasn't sure what to do next and would simply repeat the same movements. The massage was $80, and I decided to leave a $10 tip. The woman at the reception looked at me, laughed in my face, and told me that it was not enough. At first, I genuinely didn't even understand what she wanted from me because her English was limited. Then she told me that I should leave $20. So I have a question for the woman who was working at the reception on August 12th around 7 p.m. Who are you to judge me based on the tip I choose to give? Who are you to laugh in my face? Who are you to humiliate and embarrass me over $10? You know absolutely nothing about me. You don't know what kind of day I had. You don't know what kind of week I had. You don't know what $10 means to me or what circumstances I may be dealing with. Maybe $10 is not enough for you. But it was my money, my choice, and my gesture of appreciation A tip is a gesture of appreciation, not something that should be demanded, judged, or used to embarrass a customer. If you expect a specific gratuity, then make it a clearly stated service charge -- don't shame people at the register for exercising their choice.
