Clean spot and really sweet and kind staff. No favorite masseuse as they are all great, I go a couple of times every month. read more

This place is great--clean, with very skilled and friendly staff. I'm looking at some older reviews, and feel like people need to know this shop has been under new ownership and staff since the beginning of this year (2026), so the other than location and name it's really a different store. I never visited under prior ownership, but I've had sessions with three or four of their therapists since January and they've all been great, really helping with knots in my shoulder and back, etc. and some flexibility issues I have. Very professional with service menu options that let you choose among Swedish, Thai, deep tissue, etc., or a combination. Rates are very reasonable so I try to tip generously. read more

Terrible massage. My masseuse didn't listen to me, seemed to not know what she was doing, and kept hitting my funny bone and accidentally scratching my balls with her nails while massaging my leg. I left halfway through, more tense than I arrived read more

I had an exceptional massage from one of the Thai males here. Really great massage followed up by tender warm service.

December 2023; Found them on Craig's List for $45 for 30 minutes and thought that was more than fair but when I arrived the place had a very strong chemical odor. I asked what that was and they told me Jasmine but is smelled more like euculyptus or something like that but it was so strong I was ready to leave as the air was so polluted and forget about the massage but figured the room will not be as bad so I stayed. Whoever heard of paying ahead of time before they start? Yes, I had to pay ahead of time. Anyway, the mans name was Andy who was to do the massage for my back and neck injury. Others have reviewed this place as being too soft, well my experience was the polar opposite, it was so strong I could not wait for it to end. At one point Andy was off the ground and on the table bearing down on me with all of his weight. Never have I ever had anyone massage like this. I did not realize the full extent of how bad and damaging it was until I got out of there and for days later when I was in more pain than what I had before the service. I did tip the man as I was leaving to be nice but have no plans to ever go back. Be careful with this place is all I can say and stay away from Andy unless you want to be beat-up. On top of all that all of my clothing completely reaked from the same odor in their building. It did not smell organic at all but some synthetic chemical. read more

i was going to give this place a chance, despite the reviews but seriously dont waste your time. I called for the appointment and the lady told me "cash only but we have an ATM" ... the ATM max limit you can pull out is $40 and their massages start at $45 ... so it's a rip off knowing they'll get you to pay the surcharge twice if you really want to pull out money. then they were going to make me pay first, tip later... anyways, this place is shady. come here at your own risk read more

Bad massage. Quality was not great. The therapists skill level needs more improvement. It's quite tiring to keep asking for more pressure every 30 seconds. The touch was so light. Better off somewhere else. read more

i'm going to guess being a masseuse is pretty hard work, but I have to say it really felt like this was not into it. Not planning on returning. read more

Customer Service 5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Massage 5/5 Ambience 5/5 Communication 5/5 Honestly I was nervous after reading some of the reviews but I found this place online, texted the number for info & the person was so friendly & set the expectation immediately. They take cash & since the price is so low they expect tip. Small places like these it's not abnormal. I came in & was greeted. Went in for my massage & the person was so friendly. I paid & tipped. Easy! They need updated photos just to stay relevant but overall it was a cute spot...: I'll be back! read more

Amazing 60 minute massage , clean and professional it so close to my apt , highly recommend

Very weird place, Smell very moldy, Rude stuff massage was ok, No matter how much tip you give they always ask for more, Massage was $100 I give $40 tip and he asked for more, I should take my tip back, tip is optional and people now thinking is a must, Even if the service is not good read more

Awesome service very clean and great staff definitely recommend it been there a few times

I have been coming to Silver Lake Wellness Spa for a few years now. The spa itself is very clean and well sanitized and has a warm and peaceful ambiance. The staff is efficient and friendly and every single massage I've received here has been excellent. All of the masseuses, male and female, are very communicative, asking where you are experiencing pain or tension before the massage, asking if it's ok to do a walking massage on your back (which I highly recommend!) and generally making sure that you are comfortable during the massage. Afterwards, some water, a mint and you leave feeling like a new person. As for payment, I will add to what some reviewers are saying: They accept cash only and price of the massage is low considering how good (in my experience) the quality of the massage is, so have never felt strange about tipping / tipping well. It's a smaller business with great practitioners and I am happy to support. Also, I feel like a lot of the not so good reviews are from almost year or more ago, so I don't know what was going on, but judging from more recent reviews, they seem to have taken note and fixed things. Highly recommend! read more

I went to visit for my birthday, and it was the worst massage I ever got in my life no oils, no lotions very disappointed

Really recommend that you take the other reviews here to heart. I've never had a poor massage before; I've had bad massages or massages where something went wrong, but never a poor massage. It felt like the masseuse watched a YouTube video on how to give a massage and then gave me that. I could barely feel it, he would sometimes lightly pat my arms, and occasionally gently rub my back. They do expect a $20 tip, but I wouldn't have cared if I had actually gotten a massage. read more

It was a terrible massage, and I wasn't going to leave a review until what happened after. First, the massage was maybe the worst massage ever. You could barely feel it. I asked for harder, she said sorry this is as hard as I can do. I couldn't feel anything. Second, it was definitely shorter than it should have been. But the worst part was when they tried to force me to give a certain tip. I went to give them 20%, and they told me that it wasn't enough and that I had to give at least 33%. For what that massage was, they deserved nothing, but to force a 33% tip on someone is absurd. I refused, and they were clearly not happy about it. All that to say, worst massage parlor I have ever been to. Steer clear unless you want a terrible massage and then a forced tip. read more

Dom was my therapist and he was fantastic. I went for the early bird special and tipped very well because I know how little that means the actual therapist gets. I highly recommend this spot. Enjoy! read more

Do not come here! I plan to report them to my bank! Mid massage cops stormed the place! Apparently they do more than massages! Besides being completely traumatizing! I'm completely disgusted! The officer knocked the door pushed it open the masseuse still tried closing the door on him! Insane doesn't begins to describe this experience! I was literally trembling! Pure disgust! And then the officer said you should refund, the guy in the reception was like no! Lolll! I could care less but this place needs to be closed down for good! It's next to a preschool! When I got there mothers were picking up their children! I didn't feel a bad vibe when I got there I mean kids near by, good area nothing felt off! Wow was I wrong! Such a scary experience I never realized how vulnerable you are in these places! You stuck in a room alone, limited ways to exit! I will never ever again go to one of these tiny little local spots! Large spas can take all my money! read more

Would not recommend this place. There are many other spa's in the area that provide much better quality for same price or cheaper. I should have read the reviews prior to coming. read more

I have always enjoyed the service I received from here....from the front desk to massage to the facility itself. They do such a great job with making you feel comfortable by providing an aesthetically pleasing, always clean & professional atmosphere. And I have to say that the Swedish type massage from Brian is one of the best I have received around Los Angeles. Def try Brian if you're going to book a massage. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Fantastic experience at SLWS. The facility is nice and clean, comfortable and relaxing. I got a massage with Nancy and she was amazing. You can really tell she cares about your massage experience. Definitely will be returning soon. Parking is conveniently located right behind the facility. read more

Ok massages. For $50, I just noticed that the massages from the same masseur is inconsistent. Decent.

My friend highly recommended this place so I thought I give it a try. I called and spoke to Brian who I believe is the owner of the wellness spa. I told him I wanted to pamper myself for my birthday and would like to get a Thai massage and facial. Brian was very polite and professional over the phone. On the day of my appointment, I arrived 10 minutes early and waited to be seen. Sat and waited for 15 min before the front desk person took me to a private room. The place looks clean and makes you feel very relaxed. Brian was my massage therapist and he gave me one of the best Thai and Swedish massages ever. He was so good with his hands. I felt so much better and less sore after the massage. After my massage, I got a facial. The facial was ok nothing special. Not sure if I will come back for the facial but the experience was pleasant. Overall, I had a great experience at this spa and would highly recommend Brian for thai massage. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

I had a great massage from Lydia she was able to focus in on my problem areas and work out the tension. I was so relaxed when I left and had no more left back pain. The room is clean , fresh and pleasant. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Thank you so much Bee for the Most relaxing day! This place is very nice and clean. As you know Thai people are very warm and welcoming, K couldn't though about a better place to relax. The Massage from Bee was very good I really liked her technique read more

Just had an amazing massage here. The place is lovely and very well kept. I opted for a sport massage (I workout once or even twice a day) and have tried many massage places before (mostly Equinox spa): nothing compare to the massage I received. 1 - I didn't have to tell him where to focus as he got that directly from a first scan of my body 2 - it was a complete massage with no time "wasted" on irrelevant parts like "forehead" (once I had a masseur spending 15 mins on it). 3 - he showed me the difference between Swedish and sport massage so I even learned something Will book soon my next one here! read more

I decided to stop by Silver Lake Wellness Spa today. They've been getting some bad reviews recently so I thought I'd see for myself. I decided to NOT make an appointment. This is because (as mentioned in earlier reviews) the "suggested" tip on a $60 massage is $20. And yes, that equates to an expected tip of 33%. (btw, If service is good, I always tip 20%+.) But 33% seems excessive. And with the situation set up this way, the therapists hope that you will tip above and beyond that amount. So yes, I would not be surprised if a therapist asks/hopes for an additional tip. Consequently, a $60 massage could end up costing $100. I was also hoping to get an appt with Brian and he no longer works there. I think Silver Lake Wellness Spa needs to change their signs to read "If you are happy with the service today, we suggest adding a 20% gratuity." Or they could do what restaurants do and suggest various tip amounts on the receipt. Sadly I won't be going back to see if they change their policy. read more

if possible i would give minus 4 stars. I got the massage from the old guy worked front desk. wtf... most horrible massage ever...it was night mare.. 1hr after massage, I have serious pain of my left shoulder.. Do not get the massage by him.. read more

Very good service. And super clean. The price is very affordable. I will definitely com back and refer to my friends. I love the front cashier. She is very sweet and friendly. Also I have an hour Thai massage with Brian. He is very professional and amazing. read more

They moved to Silver Lake but only does appointments. I like the new location better as I don't feel like I'm gonna get mugged at night.

I just had the best Thai massage with Brian, Silver lake wellness spa very clean and so relaxing since the moment I step in. I've got massage with Brian and his technique is like no other,And I often get masaage regularly but this one beyond amazing!! Definitely coming back! read more

Newly remodeled space in new, better location. Fortunately the same great service. Brian is amazing, with strong hands and expert technique. Dom is also very good. I've become a regular here and I'm convinced that it keeps this old body going! Check this place out. You will love it! read more

My new favorite spa! Friendliest staff. They make you feel right at home. The rooms are super clean and comfortable. And Brian's massages are unreal. I'm addicted. read more

This place is sketch. First off, I was told on the phone that it was $50/h and when I got there he charged me $60. I think his name was Kevin. Then I told him they said $50 and he said it may have been a misunderstanding. On their menu they have a $55 dollar option and I told him I wanted that one and he still forced the $60 on me. I was able to pay the $55 and in the middle of the massage he asked me for a $40 tip and when I said no he got upset and the quality declined. I got my massage at 6p (they close at 10p) and when I was done I gave my tip and right away he demanded more money and the DOOR WAS LOCKED. He raised his voice at me and I told him that was all I had and he said next time he can't do it unless the tip is more and I had to unlock the door myself to get out. I do not recommend anyone to come here. This used to be a. Great place but management must have changed because whoever is running this is no longer making it a nice place to come. Please be safe people. This place could be dangerous read more

Wow!!! This place is soooo NICE and professional.. very nice individual rooms with nice relaxing music on.. I had BRIAN everyone talking about here.. The first thing i felt he massaged me was his hands were very strong!!! I felt like i was in a thai massage parlor in Thailand while he was massaging me.. just good as massage in BKK. He is tall and has a strong body structure as well. Of course he is handsome(looks like Eric East(?)) I wish i lived in LA and could be his regular.. sad that i am just visiting LA.. read more

Nice spa, great location. Amazing, all good therapists. I usually only see men because I find them to have more strength and I need very deep hard pressure, but Nan at Silverlake wellness is amazing she's strong and she knows exactly where and how to apply the correct pressure to whatever problem you're having. She really listens and adjusts the treatment to address your particular issue. Try Nan for sure. But they are all good at Silverlake Wellness! read more

Decided to visit Full Moon after realizing they'd renovated and gotten new ownership. I'd been a few times before and for the most part the massage experience was consistent. This time I booked same day and it was pretty easy. No early bird special. The place has nice upgrades. Parking is first come first serve. Prices are comparable to other establishments close by. I got the Thai Combo and it was a solid massage. Would recommend! read more
