TL;DR: Pregnant women, avoid The NOW until you're postpartum unless you're comfortable paying an…read moreextra $15 ($18+ with tip) for what is essentially a pillow arrangement. I was disappointed to learn that The NOW still requires pregnant clients to purchase a prenatal add-on. I specifically asked the staff what was included, and they confirmed it simply involves a different pillow setup. They also explained that prenatal massage is more complex and requires additional skill. I absolutely agree that massaging pregnant women requires knowledge and adjustments. However, most massage boutiques in Los Angeles do not charge extra simply because a client is pregnant. They ask about your pregnancy, make any necessary accommodations, and provide the massage without a surcharge. At The NOW, pregnant women are effectively penalized with a mandatory $15 fee for accommodations that, according to their own staff, amount to a pillow arrangement. If they're going to require an additional charge, it should at least include something meaningfully different or enhanced. Unfortunately, I still have unused membership credits, so I'll have to continue returning and paying even more on top of the roughly $1,500 per year I already spend as a member. It feels like a missed opportunity to support pregnant clients during a time when massage can be especially beneficial, and instead the experience comes with an added fee. I do want to note that my massage therapist, Sultan, was excellent - skilled, professional, and the bright spot of the experience. If you do find yourself at The NOW Woodland Hills while pregnant, I highly recommend requesting Sultan

Not a great experience. It's not that I never had a Swedish massage done before…read more I booked with Alexa as I see a lot of good reviews about her so was excited for it and they gave me Debbie at the time of appointment. Debbie was nice and soft but that wasn't I was expecting in the massage. Very soft. The massage is not that cheap. It's $109 for an hour. Though I keep getting text messages of confirmation of my booking but they never mentioned that my therapist is not available today else I could have rescheduled for tomorrow. I spoke to a person at the front desk who seems not bothered by whatever you say he was just there to making bookings. On top of that I gave a tip in cash for the therapist. Too pricy for the work done.

I've been to Lavender a few times now and I honestly don't remember how I discovered it but am so…read moreglad I did! They are tucked away in a little strip mall on Vanowen and Canoga. This time, we went to celebrate a friend's birthday. The spa is super clean and the staff is extremely friendly and punctual. They have great prices and deals listed on their website. We each went for the deep tissue massage and boy oh boy was it deep! I had Lucy who was amazing. She asked if I liked stretching (I do) and the next thing I knew I was folded up like a pretzel -- it was amazing. She also used hot stones and I'm pretty sure she got up on the table with me to give me the most pressure she could give. I'm still feeling it today in the best way possible. If I lived closer, I would probably go at least two times a month, but if you are anywhere near the Canoga Park, you should go -- it's relaxing and ahhhhmazing!

I would have given this place 4 stars, but this is the second time I booked a 90-minute massage and…read morewas only given a 60-minute session. The last massage therapist I had, Tanya, did an awful job. The massage felt rushed and unprofessional. She mostly used one hand, seemed inexperienced, and jumped randomly from one area to another without any flow or technique. Much of the session consisted of simply pressing my body down into the table rather than actually working on the muscles and relieving tension. I even asked her to use her hands more effectively and focus on releasing the pressure in my muscles, but she didn't listen. What a waste of my day off and my money. I left feeling disappointed and frustrated instead of relaxed. Again. Her name was TANYA.

Good massage for the price! I got a full body 60m with hot stone for $50 and it was a good massageread more

Great place! I've been coming here for the last few years. Great value as well…read more January 2025 update: New prices, but not by much. It's around $5 more for a 1 hour foot massage. My experience in 2025 is the same as 2023. Read below... Dec 2023 Usually I go for the one hour foot massage. $35 for the hour as of December 2023. Make sure to tip well! I usually give $10 tip. Atmosphere: There is a water fountain dripping water noise, which is very relaxing throughout the whole experience. You also have some sort of soothing Asian violin-type music playing in the background. I usually just do the community massage area. Everyone usually has their eyes closed anyway. No big deal. You take your T-shirt off, but you keep your shorts or sweats on. I recommend coming here in a t-shirt and shorts just to make it easier for them to move around your body and work on you. Also, if you were a woman coming to this facility, you can get away with wearing your bra, and taking your blouse or shirt off. If you would like a more private area, you do have to pay extra for that. It's up to you. The actual Foot Massage: I highly recommend letting them use their oils, tonics and lotions on you. But if you want to go dry, that's totally fine. Just understand that you won't get the full experience if they're not using the massage oil on you. So... 1. They basically start with you sitting down on an ottoman, and your feet are in a bucket of warm water. They do your shoulders, a little bit of your neck, and the top of your head. 2. Your feet come out of the bucket, and onto the ottoman, while you lay on a lowered massage table on your back, stomach side up. They do more of your neck from underneath, your shoulders down to your hands and fingers. 3. They cover your torso with a towel/blanket, as they work on your feet and ankles, and your toes with massage oil. It's kind of like a cucumber melon type smell. Smells really nice actually. So after they do this area, they wipe you down with towel after towel after towel. 4. Then they move on to your thighs, top inner and outer. This is usually done dry, no oil involved, and the person working on you is using mostly their forearms and elbows. 5. The last step in the process is they flip you over onto your stomach, and they work your back, and your hamstrings. No use of oil here. Lots of pillows and towel changes in between. Very hygienic, and clean. Whenever they use oil on the body part that they use oil on, they always wipe it off after they're done with lots of towels. Pressure Level: If you know the pressure level you're looking for, definitely tell the person at the front desk to tell the person doing the massage what level you like right off the bat. If you want a more soft and soothing massage, kind of similar to Swedish deep tissue let's say, definitely ask for a woman to work on you. But even then, some of the women who work there have a very strong touch, so you can always say softer or harder, and they do understand you. If you're looking for that ultimate shiatsu, deep tissue bordering on Muscle fascia release, definitely get a guy to work on you. Most of the guys who do the massages here are strong, and I mean very strong. Their hands are like Vice grips. So you'll have to ask for softer or harder during the whole process. Etiquette: Just in general, make sure your cell phone is set to complete silent or even airplane mode before you get in here. A vibrating phone every 2 or 3 minutes is very disruptive as well. So just turn it off, please. In general, this is a great place to come to for a relaxing massage. Also a great date spot! Last pointer is, definitely ask for the multiple visit card, or whatever it's called. Basically you get a free massage after 10. So you're 11th massage is free. But I would still tip the person working on you! Don't skimp out. Note* They used to end the foot massage with a hot stone treatment. But they no longer do this. As of Dec 2023, it's a different massage entirely, called "Comfort" I believe. You'll have to pay $40 for this one, and it's a whole separate process if you want the hot stone massage. Still worth it, if that's what you want.
