I've been delaying my review of Wren because I'm struggling to put its excellence into words…read more Wren is exacctttly what Costa Mesa has been missing. This small wellness studio is the first of its kind, specializing in cold plunges, saunas, and massages. I booked all three to celebrate my birthday. This spa felt like a taste of the Pacific Northwest in Southern California. The space was claiming, isolated, and they pay attention to the smallest of details. The sauna/cold plunge rooms are built for two. While the space is booked singularly, you can add on an additional person $25. This room also comes with a shower and you can even order a fancy THC beverage to lean into the experience. I personally love a cold plunge, but pairing it with a sauna was.. chefs kiss. I couldn't image a better way to start a new year. The massage was incredible as well. You can tell when someone knows the human anatomy and their expertise branch into physical therapy. My masseuse massaged muscles that have never been touched before. While the membership is pricey, I could seriously see myself coming here daily if I lived closer. Life would be much nicer with Wren in it.

Wowowow! From…read moredriving by, it almost looks like someone's house but there's a couple parking spots (3?) for guests but other than that, street parking. I reserved the private sauna and cold plunge and absolutely loved it. It was top tier service, from the cleanliness, the two towel, the water to drink, fancy ice cube to cool your face while in sauna, and even a bag for wet bathing suits. The place was very customer service forward. The cold plunge was 48 degrees and had jets in it. There's an outdoor shower with soap. Of course all of this enclosed by gates like a back yard feel I had 45 minutes to myself and wow can't recommend enough

I will say a special shout out to my current masseuse Michelle. I cannot properly express or articulate how good she is. From finding EVERY single knot (sometimes before I knew it was there) to being able to efficiently work them out has been amazing. Would highly recommend this spot and HIGHLY recommend Michelle.

I really wanted to love this place, which is why I gave it a second chance and signed up for a…read moremembership again. Unfortunately, my experience the second time around was just as disappointing. The biggest issue for me was that the focus seemed to be more on selling memberships and expensive add-ons than on providing quality massage services. Every visit felt like there was pressure to purchase extras such as aromatherapy and other upgrades, all of which I found to be overpriced. On top of that, the pricing structure felt confusing and, at times, like there were hidden fees. The cost of services seemed to vary depending on the day of the week or the therapist, which was frustrating. I prefer straightforward, transparent pricing so I know exactly what I'm paying upfront, and that wasn't my experience here. I also wasn't impressed with the quality of the massages. The therapists were inconsistent, and after my last massage, I actually left in pain. That experience was the final reason I decided to cancel my membership. The cancellation process is where the customer service issues really became apparent. When I cancelled, I was told via text that I had one remaining massage credit to use. I signed the cancellation agreement, but admittedly (my bad) I overlooked the section stating that unused credits expire after 60 days. Three months later, I contacted the business to schedule my final massage and was informed that my credit had expired. While I acknowledge that I should have read the agreement more carefully, I was disappointed that no one mentioned the 60-day expiration when they told me I had a remaining credit. Since I had already paid for that service, I asked if they would consider honoring the credit as a courtesy. They said they would discuss it with the owner and get back to me. More than a week later, I still have not received a response. At this point, it's less about the massage credit and more about the lack of customer service. The combination of aggressive upselling, underwhelming massage quality, and poor follow-through left me feeling like the business was more focused on generating revenue than taking care of its clients. There are many massage options available, and I've personally had much better experiences elsewhere with better pricing, better service, and better results.

And she said no we close at 8pm. So then I was like ohh so you don't have any openings for tomorrow then? And she said we close at 11am. So I'm a little confused --------------- I'm even more confused after the company commented. I never asked for a 9pm appointment. I asked if 630pm was available.

The beds have a warming pad I believe, so you're not cold. Only left 4/5 stars due to the noise in the reception area, towards the end of my service, one of the employees was yelling for another employee kind of jokingly, and then just walked into my massage room. She did apologize, but it wasn't cool. After that, I could hear someone microwaving their food and then could hear them eating. The massage was SO good though. I will come back
