Lymphatic drainage suit
Rebecca E.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Made sure I was comfortable and explained the benefits of lymphatic drainage. During the treatment, I fell into a deep sleep (yay recovery). This is a fun wellness activity to try.

This place is heaven! I first went back in 2020 and haven't stopped since. You can choose from a sauna cabin, lymphatic cleanse or Infrared body wrap to get your sweat on. I love all three, but I prefer the body wrap. It is super clean, inviting and sooooo relaxing. The owners are very friendly and informative. You are provided with a cold towel, entertainment (tv) and water during your session. It feels good and refreshing to get all the toxins out and get your blood flowing. My favorite part is the Zen Den, a place to chill after that is so serene and peaceful to decompose before you leave. You are provided with more water and optional salted nuts as you relax and take it all in!

Came here for the infrared body wrap not really knowing what it was. But it was AMAZING. Its basically an infrared heated sleeping bag that they wrap you in for 55 minutes that makes you sweat like crazy. They give you sweat pants, shirt and socks to change into and they will be totally soaked when you're done. While you're in there for 55 minutes you get to watch netflix or other streaming shows. After its over they take you over to the "Zen Den" its very tranquil; salt lamps, scented infusers, iced herbal tea, nuts, cold orange wedges for recovery, soft music playing. Very relaxing I felt so relaxed and chill for the rest of the night and slept like a log and my skin feels so soft too! Sean and Jenica provide excellent service, are super nice and explained everything. There is a paid parking lot across the street but also lots of metered parking in front and surrounding streets, but there was lots of free parking on 6th ave too. I felt amazing after doing this Infrared Body Wrap! Very reasonable for $50 and they also have packages or membership options that bring the price down too. Tips: drink water before you arrive and when you get home after too. Don't wear lotion on your skin. You should not do it if you have high blood pressure, metal implants, are pregnant or is "your time of the month"

I was impressed from the start. The entire place is super clean and maintained. I was guided throughout the entire process seamlessly and that made my experience that much better. I did the lymphatic cleanse massage and I felt so energized and relaxed after. I will be coming back for another one... or 5. The zen area was Super relaxing as well I loved the salted nuts after my massage:)

Got to relax in this cute lounge after my body wrap
Nastaran M.

I am a personal trainer and do bootcamps 5 plus days week, so you can imagine how sore my muscles are everyday. Came across hot haven on class pass so I decided to treat my body to an infrared body wrap. Best way to describe it is that you're Netflix and chillin in a super comfortable heated bed while you sweat off 800 calories and detox. It almost felt like I pressed the reset button on my body, muscles felt better than post massage. After I was treated to some delicious iced tea and orange slices by the super comforting staff. They did not make me feel rushed and explained every step of it. Definitely going to be treating myself to hot haven once in a while. Thank you.

This is the area where you get to chill and relax after everything

OMG BEST THING EVER!!! The place is beautiful inside and the person that helped me with everything is named Jen ( I hope this is how you spell it ) and she was sooooo sweet and so attentive and soo helpful and honestly made the whole experience soo smooth and amazing! And You feel sooo amazing after and then once I noticed all of the sweat I was sooo surprised! Everything was just soo thought out and great! I have 0 complaints, Honestly something you definitely have to do at least once and honestly I would do this easily once a month!!

Inside
Daria G.

Went to their sauna last week, and it was great! Small private sauna where you can watch Netflix or movies. There's plenty of water with lemon, lavender cool towels, really well thought experience. The temperature inside is adjustable, the seating is covered with a towel.

I've been going here for months to help my fibromyalgia and I've definitely seen a difference! I use the infrared sauna about once a week and it's really decreased my inflammation and has improved my energy levels.

No not at all! You're given clothes to sweat in and you change in the private bathroom.

The spaces looked clean, smelled good and had a relaxing vibe. Overall it was a good experience that I recommend. Everyone should at some point have a spa day.

We when arrived, we had to wait 10 minutes which wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the employees whispering and peaking around the corner at us while we were in the lobby. They put us in a room together which we didn't ask for, like a couples massage, they just assumed. I asked for the masseuse to be more gentle when she started and I'm not sure if she understood me well because she wasn't that gentle. The worst part was the hot stones. They were too hot for the masseuse the handle but they tried to put them on us anyway. We had to have them remove it on our bill because they were too hot to put them on anybody or anything! They even left burn marks on my back. The spa is also covered in dust, the fish tank is disgustingly filthy, and had a musty smell in the rooms. They also refused to give a refund for the horrible service that was provided. The owner and employees will not take responsibility for their actions and inactions (see the owners response below). I have also updated my pictures with timestamps of the burn in question. I still have the mark 2 weeks later and it didn't show up right away, before we left the spa. I am also not from California nor do I live there to have the time to go back. I would never recommend this place.

She is a true healer, and is very gifted in treating lingering injuries. I've been grappling with arthritis in my hands, and have an old shoulder injury that keeps dragging me down. Itzel does great pressure point work and also active stretches that have been very beneficial to my healing. She is professional, courteous, and superhumanly strong! I'm very grateful to have exceptional care at the Knotstop with Itzel and Ryan! Pro tip, treat yourself to the membership. I get the 90 minute massage deal for $135 for deep tissue, you can't beat it! Also, for a more chill experience, check out when you check in! That way you don't have to go to the front desk twice. I square up at the front desk when I check in, that way, I don't have to go back after my massage and deal with any details. I always tip my Massage Therapist in cash after the appointment.

I've been here twice now, as have a couple of my friends and we all have had a "meh" experience. My…read moremain issue is with the front desk. The first time I came here over a year ago, the front desk guy wasn't friendly and it didn't start my massage in a relaxing headspace. Today, the front desk had two people there and after I was checked in, neither of them thought to tell me there's a lounge that I can sit in while I wait. I'm very obviously nine months pregnant and it's hard to walk down the block at this point. After you check in, you're in this tight spaced gift shop area with no seating and I wasn't sure what to do until I saw a guy in a walker make his way through a room that said lounge across the top. After my massage was done today, I was back in that little gift shop area waiting to check out and pay for my massage. The lady checking out before me took a while so I was just standing there, exhausted with nowhere to sit. I very clearly remember giving the gift card number I was given when I reserved the appointment online, so it was also annoying that when I finally got up to pay, they dint have any of this information. These seems like small things, but they all add up to me having to put in more effort when I'm paying to set time aside to relax.
