    I wanted to like this place more than I did. I think mainly because I switched my massage treatment to shiatsu from combo and it either wasn't communicated or noted because I didn't want them to use forearm or elbows. She was definitely using forearm. I didn't even smell any of the essential oils they said they would use. I was also a little bothered by them leaving the door cracked. It is a very cute and calming place. It was clean. The bathroom was clean. They definitely accommodated us a lot by allowing us in early. However, I don't think I'd return.

    I was referred by my doctors office for the pain I was having to this massage place. Honestly 100/10. I had a massage by AMY. They suggested I do a Japanese Shiastu which is mostly hand, and finger points to help with the release of my shoulder and neck pain. I had low expectations because I wasn't feeling good but this massage was easily the best one I ever had. She really took her time and did a true full body massage. There's plenty of street parking. The building can be a little noisy but the massage, the music and heated bed will drown it out. Definitely will be back

    Highly recommend this establishment. The staff is incredibly polite and thoughtful. Was recommended this business by my wife's best friend to take my wife on a couple's massage for her birthday. She absolutely loved it! Now, I'm writing this review for 5-stars as she booked a couples massage for my birthday! Haha

    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

    Dr Shi is a wizard. No, a fairy. No, a healer. Yes, definitely a healer…read more Although A Beautiful Day Spa is well known for their massage treatments, the well-kept hidden secret is Dr. Shi. Dr. Shi has been practicing acupuncture for decades. Dr. Shi can speak some English, but is fluent in Mandarin. As a patient who speaks some Mandarin, I'm fortunate enough to learn that Dr. Shi travels to give speeches in China and he continues to learn the arts of healing. Dr. Shi is an unorthodox acupuncturist in which his methods are not just sticking needles in your body. He asks your body to change the tendons, the muscles, the bones, the fascia, and even the skin. And yes Dr Shi talks to your body, it's so strange (I know), but he can find where the source of your pain is from and he tries to find the root cause of the pain so he can transform your body. Even if I don't tell him I have pain in a specific area, he will find out after assessing your body. As someone who suffers from multiple injuries, my chronic pain and musculoskeletal problems caused migraines, dizziness and pain with movement. I saw renowned acupuncturists twice to three times a week for three months and my symptoms never improved significantly enough to go about my daily life. I saw Dr. Shi for one month, twice a week and my headaches and dizziness improved right away. My range in motion also increased with less pain. Additionally, my stiffness and deep pain lessened. So why the magic... okay, I get it. You need a concrete example. I have a painful bump in the back of my head, it was about 2inch so not too big, but pressing on it caused migraines and shooting pain down my neck and spine. Dr. Shi placed acupuncture needles in my body, asked me to do some strange movements, and in three sessions the spot was less tender and I no longer have shooting pain down my neck and spine. This was also combined with Western medicine. It's not completely gone because he explained that healing is treatment, time, taking care of yourself, staying warm and moving correctly. I also like the way Dr. Shi inserts and takes out the needles. He prepares your body and gently inserts the needles. If it will be a painful spot, he will guide you on how to lessen the pain for that acupoint. I am excited that the acupuncture clinic will be opened soon. This way, Dr. Shi can help more people.

    I was really excited for this place from all the reviews I saw, but it wasn't what we were…read moreexpecting. I had booked a 60-minute massage for my mother and requested strong pressure. The receptionist confirmed that they had someone who had the strongest therapist booked for my mom and I had nothing to worry about. However, my mother told me there was barely any pressure even when she inquired they said that strong, deep pressure would be an extra charge. Which is fine, however, it seems that they just gave her light strokes throughout. She wanted to walk out mid-session but chose to stay to see if there would be any improvement but there was none. We would not recommend this place. Update: Dustin tried offering us 30% off for us to come back.. doesn't seem like a good/decent solution to anything. We declined and still would not recommend this place.

The facility is consistently clean, well maintained, and has a relaxing atmosphere that immediately helps you disconnect and unwind. Making a reservation is easy and convenient, and the overall experience is organized and professional from check-in through the end of your visit. The locker rooms and spa areas are also very clean and well cared for, which is something I really appreciate. Everything about the environment feels comfortable, relaxing, and designed to let you slow down and enjoy the experience. For this visit, I booked a deep tissue massage with Ofelia, and she was absolutely outstanding. Before we even started, Ofelia took her time listening to my concerns and asking about the specific areas that were bothering me. She also asked about previous injuries and anything else she needed to be aware of before beginning. I really appreciated that she didn't just go through the motions, she took the time to understand what I needed and tailored the massage accordingly. I've had numerous deep tissue massages over the years, and one thing I've noticed is how difficult it can be to find someone who can maintain the same level of deep, consistent pressure throughout an entire session. Ofelia is the first massage therapist I've had who was able to maintain that steady pressure from beginning to end. That alone sets her apart. Throughout the session, she frequently checked in to make sure the pressure was exactly where I wanted it, and she was spot-on every time. She never faded as the session went on and never became overly aggressive either. The pressure remained strong, controlled, and consistent throughout the entire massage. Deep tissue can sometimes cross the line between therapeutic and simply uncomfortable, but Ofelia found the perfect balance. She knew when and where to apply pressure and spent the necessary time addressing the areas I had discussed with her beforehand. What stood out most was that I never felt rushed. She was attentive, professional, and extremely skilled at what she does. You can tell she takes pride in her work and genuinely wants her clients to leave feeling better than when they arrived. Between the clean and relaxing facility, well-maintained locker and spa areas, easy reservation process, and the exceptional level of service I received from Ofelia, this was exactly the experience you hope for when visiting a higher-end spa. If you're booking a deep tissue massage at Burke Williams, I highly recommend requesting Ofelia. I've had plenty of massages over the years, and she genuinely stands out. She is amazing, and I will absolutely be requesting her again!

    I haven't been back to Burke Williams for a long time. I finally decided to go back because I had…read moreheard from a friend how great their facials and massages were. I booked a Regenerative Anti Aging Facial 80 minute session priced at $390 with Lety. When I arrived, the entrance was modern with their skincare products laid out for sale on the side walls. The receptionist took my information, she walked me inside to give me a tour of the facilities. Everything was clean and spotless! She showed me the restroom, makeup area, and shower area which consisted of products such as makeup remover, q tips, cleanser, curling iron, flat iron, brush, combs, hair gel, hair spray, hair mist, etc. Everything I needed, they had. There was a jacuzzi, which was very hot, a dry steam room, a wet steam room, and bath tub area as well. I wish they had a cold room to balance out all the hot rooms. There were wet towels with aroma therapy, cucumbers for your eyes, and plenty of body towels everywhere. The facial I had was wonderful! Lety had magic hands! First, she applied different serums onto my face. It felt so relaxing as she massaged all the products on my face. Then she cleaned off all the dead skin. She applied vitamin c and hyaluronic acid on my face before using the derma pen for microneedling. It didn't hurt at all and just felt like sand paper rubbed all over my face. This is supposed to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and hopefully help with sunspots and pores. The next thing she did was use nu face, which is a device for lifting your skin. I'm in my 40s, so I really needed this procedure. This didn't hurt as well. The last item she put on my face was a face mask. It felt cool on my face and by this time, I was so relaxed. The other bonus items that she did was massage my shoulders, arms, legs, and feet, which is part of the package. When I went home, I had a little bit of redness, but not too bad. It is slowly going away. Overall, did I think the price of this facial was worth it. Definitely, but maybe it depends on the esthetician you get. Lety has had many years of experience, she is knowledgable, and she's good at her job. When I come back for another facial, I'm definitely booking with Lety again. One of the best facials I've ever had! I just feel like if you're going to pay a lot for a massage or facial, you want you're experience and time to be worth it.

    To start by addressing some of the bad reviews on here:…read more If you want an elevated massage ~experience~, this isn't your place. You should know that when you pay $50 for a 60-minute full-body massage; expecting the Ritz is dumb, and on you. There was briefly a guy at the front desk who was pretty bad (kind of ignored you and was rude) but I haven't seen him in a long time. Otherwise yes; the rooms are fine, the music is the same every time, the sheets are just normal sheets. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's all really solid. The comments about tipping are weird; when you're paying so little for the massage itself, it's pretty easy math to understand why $20 is the least you can do, assuming you enjoyed your service. If you can't afford $70 total for a massage, you probably shouldn't be out getting one. Even the massage place charges $66 for 60 minutes as their base price, and the environment is comparable (massages are universally worse). And to be clear, no one has ever 'followed us around for a tip'; our masseuses do tend to walk to the front with us to offer us water and thank us for coming. It's really nice. My husband and I visit all the time and we tend to leave $30 for each of our masseuses because they're awesome. For context, we used to go to Raven Spa in Silverlake for our massages. It cost us $100 each NOT including tip to get a far inferior massage to the one we get at SP. We were paying for ambiance and brand, and we were actually pretty satisfied with their pricing for the area (even though we weren't really in love with the massages); until the first time we tried SP. Now, we pay ~$80 each TOTAL for the. best. massages. of our lives. Every time we walk out we feel 1000x better. Every masseuse we've had has been super receptive to pressure feedback, amazing at finding and working out knots, and really, really nice. I honestly feel the need to defend this place because it would be such a pity for it to not exist; I don't know how we'd ever get similar level massages at this price point anywhere else. I hope you'll ignore all the nonsense reviews and give SP a shot! I can almost guarantee it'll be the best massage you've ever had.

My husband and I booked a couples massage in the same room, and both experiences were equally disappointing. My massage therapist seemed to have very little training or technique. She mostly poked at my head, leaned on my back, whispered to the other therapist, and repeatedly left the room. My husband's therapist was no better. She was coughing and clearing her throat throughout the session, frequently left the room, and used no recognizable massage technique beyond simply pressing down on his body. When the therapists stepped out, my husband and I looked at each other and simultaneously gave a thumbs-down. Sadly, this was one of the worst massage experiences we've ever had. I would not recommend this spa to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, or relaxing massage.
