    Spooky halloween nails
    Kathleen H.

    Rachel, is the absolute BEST! I started going to her 2.5years ago and I have no plans on going anywhere else. She is very talented and always up for trying any nail design I bring her.

    It was nothing of what I have requested...

    The place is decent, no waiting line, the workers are elderly women 1 young women.. the young woman is the one who did my nails, and honestly, she was in the phone the majority of the time so she didn't pay attention to what I was asking her or she didn't understand what I wanted, which was something very simple which was a pearl color French tip She ended up doing just a regular white tip .. They are not ugly but it's not what I requested and I got them very short and they charged me over $60. I will not be going back again. The vibe was very boring no music no TV. The staff was basically just lounging, falling asleep and getting massages on the pedicure chairs...

    I've been going to River Nail Spa for over a decade now--it's been my go-to spot ever since I first heard about it. When I initially started going, Kelly was my nail tech, and she was great. After she left, I kept hearing amazing things about Rachael. Everyone seemed to request her, so I finally decided to book with her--and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Rachael has been my nail tech ever since, and I wouldn't trade her for anything. She's the only one who consistently understands and brings my nail art ideas to life with creativity and precision. Most recently, I went in for a mani and pedi refill after the loss of my great uncle, who was like a grandfather to me. Of course, I booked with Rachael, and as always, she did not disappoint. She created a beautiful set with a marble twist, inspired by and in honor of my late grandfather, Jose Adan Duarte--JAD. Thank you, Rachael, for always going above and beyond. Your talent and customer service mean more than you know.

    I came in and there were no customers. I got gel pedicure and manicure, my manicure lady (Dona) was amazing, however the pedicure lady with gray long hair (who did not want to give her name) did not do a proper job. From missing the lotion, massage, and warm towel, to not removing cuticles and making me bleed. She also got aggressive That I kept moving my leg when she was hurting me. Do not recommend her. I have been here many times and everyone else is wonderful.

    This place is pretty decent prices are fair but if you're coming here for the first time, please don't let Tammy do your nails. This lady literally cut my finger. Put acrylic all over my skin. I asked her to please stop filing so hard and so rough and she continue to do it she when I pulled away. She got upset and starting to be even more rough so rough that she cut my skin and made me bleed. Not all the mail techs working there are this messy

    Spooky designs by Rachael. They came out so cute.
    Kathleen H.

    Big shout out to Rachael! Ive been coming here 8months now and absolutely love coming here, Rachael brings her A game consistently, eager to take on each design challenge.

    Took over an hour for my nails to be done.. And the work was not what I expected. Very nice nail tech, however I wouldn't come back.

    Easy parking, spotless facility, kind staff, and excellent food!…read more I'll definitely be coming back! I loved how clean and well-maintained this spa was. Even though it's on the smaller side, it's honestly one of the best Korean spas I've been to. Most of the staff spoke Mandarin, but everyone was friendly and welcoming. For only $40 (6 hr limit), I left feeling so much more relaxed. When you first arrive, you'll be given wristbands for your lockers and clothes to change into. Once you enter the gender-specific changing area, phones are not allowed. You'll also need to be completely unclothed while using the showers, jacuzzis, and steam rooms, which is standard for Korean spas. If you're not comfortable with that, you can skip those areas and head straight to the main lounge, where phones are allowed. The lounge has several heated rooms along with one cold room, making it a great place to unwind. One thing I'd ask is to please be respectful and keep your voice down since everyone is there to relax. The cafeteria was another highlight! It serves some of the best Korean food I've had at a spa. It's a little on the pricey side, but I highly recommend the seafood pancake. It was absolutely delicious, and their banchan (side dishes) were delicious. Next time, I'd love to come back and try some of the additional spa services!

    Very nice korean spa! They have 3 saunas, one room temp room, and one cold room. I don't really…read moreunderstand the concept of the room temp one. I wish this spa was a little bigger - especially since there were only 3 hot saunas. There's a restaurant inside but the food is very expensive - about $30 per entree. It's currently $40 per person for admission only. Pretty clean inside and reminds me of asia. There's a cold plunge inside the locker rooms with the hot tubs. They have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There's also body lotion and some basic skincare. Highly recommend you bring a waterbottle and a hairbrush.

    Recently discovered a hidden wellness gem inside Pacific Palms Resort -- Sally Spa, and I have to…read moreshare. It was even featured in Beef on Netflix, so it already comes with that cinematic, aesthetic atmosphere The moment you walk in, you can feel the difference. The entire spa is designed with natural elements -- crystal chandeliers, wooden walls, and an impressive collection of over 500-year-old antiques. It doesn't feel like a typical commercial spa at all, more like a quiet, curated sanctuary for the mind. They also have separate lounges for men and women, which makes the whole experience feel more private and refined. The essential oils used are from doTERRA -- clean, natural, and not overpowering. I tried their 90-minute "Fresh Ginger & Mugwort Herbal Massage," and the whole treatment follows a very thoughtful, traditional wellness flow: It starts with freshly ground ginger applied to the body to warm you up from within -- you can literally feel the cold leaving your body Then comes hot stone therapy to raise your body temperature and deeply relax your muscles Finally, warm mugwort herbal compresses are used along pressure points, inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, leaving your body feeling light and rebalanced My therapist Tina had a very gentle and soothing technique -- not overly intense, but incredibly effective. The relaxation actually lasted longer, which is perfect if you've been stressed or not sleeping well. And honestly, the resort itself adds so much to the experience There are two 18-hole championship golf courses, plus private one-on-one yoga sessions -- it truly feels like a full-on retreat. The best part? For a resort-level spa like this, the pricing is actually very reasonable -- great value for what you get. In one sentence: This isn't just a massage -- it's a full mind-and-body reset. If you've been feeling drained or just want to escape LA for a bit, this place is absolutely worth saving

    First the good: The staff was very courteous and accommodating, the spa lobby was clean and…read moreattractive. 'K' gave me an absolutely fabulous massage! He concentrated on all of my problem areas and I felt happy and relaxed afterwards. The quiet room is clean and comfy and I was given a tasty little fruit cup. Now the bad: The price for a massage is reasonable, but you must pay an additional 39.00 if you want a to use their lockers or robe, take a shower or use the jacuzzi. This was unexpected and confusing. Before arriving, I had called for clarification of this policy and was only told that they would charge 39.00 for use of the jacuzzi. I had no idea that I wouldn't be given a robe or allowed to shower without paying the extra fee. I'm in a spa club and I have never run into this issue before. This confusion may have been due to a language barrier. The shower area has a sign saying that you must run the hot water for 10-15 minutes to obtain hot water (!). I did so and still had to take a cold shower because the water never got hot. The only towels available are very small and very thin. They are not large enough to wrap around your body. The jacuzzi area shows deferred maintenance with broken tile, missing robe hooks and mold/mildew on the ceiling between the jacuzzi and the showers (ick). This is a nice facility, but the policies are confusing and it's sadly lacking in general upkeep. (See pics)

Keep in mind, I'd never done any treatment before, so I was equal parts excited and terrified coming in. Odette guided me through all of my emotions during Morpheus. I laughed, cried, questioned my life choices, and maybe even had a tiny existential crisis . The overall results for me were amazing, but not exactly a walk in the park, a little discomfort , and patience is required. The results come gradually, but TRUST ME its soooo worth it. Gayana handled my remaining botox and chin filler. My chin is officially living its best life.
