    Pause Studios on N. Sycamore Ave. in West Hollywood has been a complete game-changer for my wellness journey! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a calm, welcoming atmosphere that truly sets the tone for relaxation and rejuvenation. The red light therapy is an absolute favorite of mine--such a soothing and effective way to boost energy and improve skin health. The contrast therapy (alternating between hot and cold treatments) is perfect for muscle recovery and leaving me feeling totally refreshed. Their vitamin IVs and NAD therapy take things to a whole new level, giving my body the nutrients and support it craves for optimal performance and vitality. Every session at Pause Studios feels like an investment in my health and well-being. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always makes me feel like I'm their top priority. I can't recommend this place enough--whether you're looking to recover, recharge, or simply unwind, Pause Studios is the place to be! Look up their monthly memberships not only will you save money on your other treatments with a membership you get to go every day ;)

    Float Tank

    Been to PAUSE (West Hollywood) a few times now for their contrast therapy (sauna/cold plunge) and float tank! I'm not sure if it's the ability to go off the grid for an hour, the effects of the cold plunge (just do it and make sure to go all the way under!), or the Le Labo private shower products that has me feeling REBORN after my session, but PAUSE might just be the right wellness center for you. I haven't tried all of their services quite yet, because I have been doing contrast (sauna/cold plunge) ON REPEAT, but excited to try their cryo, red light therapy, and maybe even some of their IVs. Their staff is also super kind, cute, and friendly. I know it sounds scary, but try also make sure to check out the float tank for one visit! Will (Pause) helped ease me into the experience by explaining how to get in, and also gave me some key pointers/tips: (wear ear plugs, use the heads-rest, and try arms above the head*), to enhance the stillness of the zero gravity experience. And let me tell you: I felt like I was in bliss for a lifetime. I'm not sure where I went, but it wasn't until I was gently woken up by the room's voice, did I realize how content I was - floating in darkness! (They also have ambient light settings for those afraid of the dark ;) Tip: I read they have monthly membership options (starting at just 1x per month) for those wanting regular wellness, but on a skinny-budget ;) Highly recommend booking a service (at least to try it!), and checking it out for yourself. I think they have other locations in LA (I haven't been), but the West Hollywood location is nestled in a super cute of the district - cute coffee/bakeries places around for a lite snack after! Treat yourself! P.S. Validated parking next door

    Absolutely love this place! I come in weekly to sauna and cold plunge. My high blood pressure dropped after a couple weeks of coming here, and the IVs are so regenerative. As for the team members, I've never seen so much positivity. Atay and Coco took great care of me for my first time in cryotherapy. Anyone who has some time needs to come and restore yourself holistically. Don't miss out!

    Starting my review by saying I had reached out to management and they were very responsive and through in explaining cleaning protocols and procedures. I appreciate the communication greatly! Pause is a beautiful facility with great amenities. However, my float experience was not what I would have hoped for. The smell inside my tank was so overwhelming and completely took me out of the experience. My husband floated in the room next door and he didn't experience such a smell. All of my senses were deprived but smell, which is not a problem you think you would have during a float. I have floated dozens of times before in other facilities and never had this issue. Floating experience was 3 stars. Rounding up for excellent communication from management who said I must just have a sensitivity to the cleaning chemicals and offered a discount on future services. Bummed because this wasn't a cheap experience and it was my birthday womp womp. I won't be returning to float, but they do have other services like cryo, IG therapy etc.

    I've wanted to try flotation therapy for a long time and the experience is truly unique. Loves: + The pods here are large compared to elsewhere. You can literally float around in it + The foam headrest (or even putting your palms behind your head) while floating a huge help + Studio is absolutely beautiful + Room is very large with the pod, shower, and changing area I found the experience to be really cool but not as relaxing as I imagined (perhaps bc it was my first time?) but I have no regrets about trying it. If it's been on your mind and you have $75 to spare, I would totally recommend it. This studio in particular is really beautiful and spacious!

    I had a great time visiting Pause. Signing up for an infrared sauna appointment was super easy via the website. You input your card information and aren't charged until your session is complete. I really appreciated the text reminders and even the ability to text a staff member with any questions prior to my session. I was greeted nicely upon arrival although for a wellness studio, I would have thought the staff would be a bit more cheerful, but then again it's WEHO and you can often get pretentious vibes in that area. Nevertheless, the staff member who showed me to my room was super explanatory and sent me on my private merry way. The sauna room is aesthetically pleasing with the sauna and shower for showering before and/or after your session. I'm personally a huge fan of saunas so the session itself was super great and beneficial for me. I loved it. In terms of parking, there is either free parking on the street if you're lucky to find any or a parking structure next door which the studio will validate for you, however it gets pretty crammed in there due to monthly parking spots taking up most of the spaces. All in all, a great experience and possibly worth a package/membership if you don't have access to a sauna at your local gym and are after a more upscale and private experience.

    The staff is very sweet and accommodating. It was my first time doing Cryo so I just did the beginner level but I think if I go back I'd do intermediate. They offer a ton of other great services. When I get more money to put into my health I'd love to take advantage of their memberships.

    "Happy to see you were able to enjoy a free session on us." ... proceeds to charge card without my consent

The reasons why I want to update my review: Very relaxing atmosphere -- the center area isn't overly loud. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The skincare products they use feel nicer/better quality than what I've experienced at other spas. I also really appreciate that this is a 12+ facility, so there aren't small children running around. At some other spas, kids can be loud and make it harder to fully relax. Here, the atmosphere is much more peaceful, which makes a big difference when you're coming to relax

It's not crowded per se, but all the amenities are occupied - chairs taken, floor mats taken, etc. So, sure, it's not "crowded" but you can't really do anything in the co-ed area either. They also seemed to ration the towels, so you couldn't go into the spa multiple times unless you wanted to re-use your wet towels. Not really trying to do mental math on towel usage when I'm just trying to enjoy my life. The food was not it either. Solidly, 2 out of 5 stars. Not a lot of options. Ended up ordering two cold noodles. It wasn't very cold, and I could not chew thru the noodles at all and relied on swallowing them whole!? Last thing - I feel like the culture is different. Other korean spas I've been to really focus on the peace and quiet, and I understand there's always going to be yappers at whichever spa you go to. But, here, it seemed everyone disregarded the rule, viewing them just as general guidelines. Everyone was still quiet-ish but definitely making more noise than I've experienced at other places. Multiple people straight watching videos on their phones without earphones. The amenities are all there but just something not aligned here. If you're trying to relax a little bit, come during non-peak hours. Just know there are better options out there.

    worst massage in town. no lie…read more at least for my experience. i brought my girlfriend here for a couple massage for her birthday. 90 minute couples massage. first five minutes was mild at best. we had to ask them to massage with a little bit more effort. shortly after it was pure sharp elbows, digging into our backs from the weight of their bodies, which overhang above. they use gravity and their elbows in an effort to avoid actually expanding effort or using their muscles at all. i don't know about you, but that's not a massage to me. shortly after i looked over to my side to notice that the man that was massaging, my girlfriend was sitting down on the bed lightly massaging her upper back with no more than a few fingers contact. there was no effort or work there. just sitting lounging doing the absolute minimum contact possible. this was almost the same for me however, my masseuse, also using only one hand, would pause for many seconds at a time before exerting some pressure then again another break of many seconds before pressure again. she was systematically conserving energy and then applying the minimum level of pressure from one hand only. after a couple warnings, she finally started to get that. i am not gonna leave us alone and she started massaging more correctly. then excuse the man who was pretending to massage my girlfriend and replaced him with a woman that was massaging me. then they sent one man to massage me who was lazy and barely doing anything so let him go when they sent him them yet. another one who is doing the same thing. at about 45 minutes i finally told him to leave me alone and just continue with my girlfriend. i don't know how it's possible that others aren't reporting this more often, but i cannot speak on what i do not know but what i do know is if you are sore, tired, and just looking for some muscle, relief and relaxation and you expect some discernible level of quality and effort than do not come here. these people do not care at all about giving you a good experience and i gave them multiple chances they are lazy and do not care about their customers at least not for my girlfriend and i if you doubt me at all, please read my other reviews. i'm very honest in my reviews and i take great care to be fair. and i write these to help others. it certainly doesn't provide me any benefit other than that. thank you for reading and feel free to contact me if you'd like more information

It is a sanctuary amidst the hustle bustle of Los Angeles in Korea town and safely located across from the police station. A plus parking is free in the plaza downstairs. The moment you enter you are greeted by the friendly office manager and you meet store owner Eunice. The hospitality is felt immediately. You are issued a locker and towels with a cute pink robe. You cannot wear bathing suits or shoes, but the robe is what you wear and the spa is so clean and smells amazing inside. They have various rooms such as charcoal clay sauna, infrared sauna, steam room, Himalayan salt room, Himalayan salt bath, cold room, oxygen room, mugwort tea bath where you pour the basin of mugwort tea and drench it over your body in a seated shower section. Mugwort tes smells earthy and helps with skin issues. You can do a body scrub to exfoliate your dead skin and your skin will be amazingly soft and dewy. They use a scrubbing mitten and you can request gentler scrubbing versus a new mitt which will be more firm exfoliating scrub. The massage is 1 hour long and extremely relaxing. You can choose green tea or collagen milk for your massage. The collagen milk left my skin so dewy and soft. In the end they wrap your hair into a cute bun atop your head and wrapped in a cute pink towel. The V steam is something new I never heard of before and tried for first time. You are in a private room and sit on a cushion seat with an circular opening and beneath are herbs heated and you wear a cute cloth robe to absorb the steam over your privates hence V stream -- benefits with cramping, hormones, constipation, fertility, etc They offer a biscuit and tea while you stay in treatment x 30 minutes. If it gets too hot you lift the robe upward and it is cooler for your body. There is an area for food that opens at noon. The menu is a variety like Bimbibap or ginseng chicken soup and more. I will definitely come back to try this eating area. Every room is meticulously designed, clean and relaxing. I felt pampered here and can't wait to return. They do not allow photos otherwise you just have to visit here and experience it for yourself.

From the moment my treatment began, the body scrub attendant's demeanor felt cold and unwelcoming. Her tone of voice came across as harsh, and when she spoke to me, it was loud enough that other guests looked over. Since everyone is undressed during these treatments, that made me feel especially uncomfortable and vulnerable. The body scrub itself was much rougher than I expected. I wasn't asked whether the water temperature was comfortable, and the pressure felt unnecessarily aggressive rather than relaxing. I left feeling more sore than refreshed, which isn't what I expect from a spa treatment. This was also the second month in a row that I was assigned to the same body scrub attendant, even though I've never had her before and had always been treated by someone else in the usual wet room. It struck me as unusual, especially since I had previously noticed her speaking very harshly to other staff members. I'm sharing this feedback in the hope that it's taken constructively. I truly enjoy this spa overall, but I hope more attention is given to making every guest feel comfortable, respected, and cared for during their treatment.
