Disclaimer: the gravel parking lot right next to their business is NOT in fact their parking and part of the residential homes parking right next to them so make sure you allow lots of extra time for parking (esp if you're coming on a weekend with Abbott Kinney traffic). Anyways, I have used Osea skincare for years now as I try and prioritize non-toxic clean ingredients and everything ive tried to date is so luscious and I legit want to eat some of the products they smell so good. Anyways massage was tucked in a very small room but really not an issue given I'm just laying down but Christina did and amazing job, gave great recommendations based on my personal skin goals and I will absolutely be back to see her. Additional the vibe is so calm and peaceful and cutesy when you go back to the courtyard and you get to rest and relax there before and after treatments if you like.

Albion Gardens was one of the most relaxing spa experiences I've ever had. I arrived a little…read morehungry, so I grabbed a spicy tuna onigiri and a strawberry matcha from the café before my appointment--both were delicious. My skincare specialist was incredible. The facial was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep twice! Her touch was unbelievably gentle, and she worked the products into my skin so effortlessly that the entire experience felt like a face massage. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and with a few skincare products to take home. Honestly, I'd stop by again just for the café alone, but the spa experience made it even more special. I can't recommend Albion Gardens enough.

The tuna onigiri was alright, but the chicken one was addicting. So much more flavorful. I also tried the cream soda in the strawberry flavor and it was AMAZING on a hot day of walking around.

I literally brought in a binder full of questions, and she sat down with me and went through every single one. She never pressured me. She did a fantastic job working within my budget and priorities.

I actually watched myself start looking younger in a matter in minutes. It was wild! We "did less" that first day to make sure I was happy, and then I went back the next day to add more. I can't recommend her enough!

I've recently moved into the area from New York and visited the store with my friend since we were…read moreexploring my new neighborhood. I've always loved Aesop products and love to visit their store but never purchased anything (until this visit). I would say a lot had to do with the genuine encounter with the sales rep, Astrid who was very knowledgeable and intentional with the products they recommended. They were very attentive with what scents I was into and what would complement my style. The whole experience was so lighthearted but also very informative, Astrid knew what they were talking about when it comes to scents and even aesthetics. I barely write reviews so this means something to me, the vibes were *chefs kiss* thanks Astrid!! I can't stop thinking about this hand soap that sits on my kitchen counter, the texture, the scent the feeling it leaves on my hands.

I was visiting my best friend who just moved back to Cali from New York, and since she lives about…read moreten minutes from Abbott Kinney, we wandered through a few fragrance shops. I'd already bought some samples at another store, but the service there was pretty hands‑off. As we walked by, something about the aesthetic caught my eye, but it was the inviting scent -- the kind that makes you want to linger -- that pulled me right through the door. I complimented the representative, Astrid, on how incredible everything felt the moment we stepped inside, and he immediately brought over a candle for me to try. From that moment on, he stayed with us and walked us through candles, hand soaps, hand creams, and fragrances with this calm, attentive energy that made the whole experience feel unhurried. One of my favorite parts was the hand‑washing station right in the middle of the store. I didn't even realize it was functional until my friend started washing her hands mid‑conversation. Astrid invited her to try the Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash, and as he was describing the texture, the exfoliation, the creaminess -- I couldn't help but join in and see for myself. The scent, the hand feel, the way it exfoliated without drying my skin at all -- it was divine. He followed it with the Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, which complemented the soap so well it felt like the two were meant to go together. At one point he even joked about the working shower they have in the back stocked with product, which made us laugh. With my background in sales, I can tell you he's genuinely talented -- personable, kind, knowledgeable, and somehow persuasive in the most subtle way. I didn't feel pushed at all, but I absolutely felt sold. I was genuinely compelled to buy some of the products based on the interaction with him alone. I bought the hand balm he recommended and have been using it nonstop, while my friend grabbed the Reverence hand soap. But I can't stop thinking about that hand soap -- I took a picture of it so I'd remember exactly which one I'm coming back for. I also felt genuinely seen by Astrid -- like every curiosity had space and every question was met with intention. Meanwhile, Le Labo down the street was overwhelming: so many scents, little to no input, just "what did you like?" No journey through the notes, no sensory experience, nothing immersive. After that, the difference was night and day. Aesop actually feels like they care about the experience -- and having someone like Astrid on the floor proves it. Honestly, after reading some of the existing reviews, I realize my experience at Aesop was completely unlike the negative ones -- I went in expecting nothing, and they exceeded everything, enough that I had to sit down and write a review.
