I'm a Deluxe member at Burke Williams, and while I've visited the Woodland Hills location many…read moretimes over the years, this review is specifically about the Santa Monica location. I live on the Westside, so Santa Monica is my home spa and where I go at the end of every month. I usually spend four or five hours there, have a couple of services, relax in the quiet room, and give myself an afternoon to completely decompress. I genuinely love this spa. The facilities are beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the people who provide my services are consistently wonderful. That said, after coming here month after month, there are two things that drive me absolutely crazy. First: THE PHONES. There are signs throughout the locker room/spa area stating that cell phone use is not allowed, yet every single time I'm there, women are on their phones. This is a LOCKER ROOM. Women are changing, showering, getting dressed, and walking around completely naked. Nobody should have to wonder whether someone nearby has a phone with a camera pointed in their direction. Almost every visit, I end up going to the front desk and asking an employee to come back and remind grown adults to put their phones away. Burke Williams really needs to find a better way to enforce this policy because, at this point, the signs clearly aren't enough. This isn't simply about maintaining a peaceful spa environment it's about the privacy of every woman using that locker room. My second complaint isn't really about Burke Williams at all. It's about some of the guests: PLEASE TIP YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS APPROPRIATELY. I am continually shocked by what I hear people leaving as tips. A $250 massage and a $15 or $20 tip? A $350 facial and a $20 tip? On my most recent visit, I watched someone check out after receiving more than $700 worth of services from two different providers and leave each of them a $20 tip. These massage therapists and estheticians are skilled professionals providing services at a high-end Southern California spa. They work hard and take wonderful care of their clients. If you can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on luxury spa services, please budget enough to appropriately tip the people providing them. I regularly see the same providers, appreciate them tremendously, and tip them accordingly usually $50-$60 per service. And yes, I am treated exceedingly well. There's a reason for that: I value the people who take care of me, and I make sure they know it. Despite these frustrations, I love Burke Williams Santa Monica. It remains one of my favorite places to relax and recharge, and I'll continue being a Deluxe member and coming every month. I just wish this location would get much more serious about enforcing its own no-phone policy. And to my fellow spa-goers: put your phone away, respect other women's privacy, and for goodness' sake, tip your service provider properly. Luxury services and bargain-basement tipping do not belong together

The spa is private; the only people in the entire space are you + the amazing esthetician, Heather. The lobby space is beautiful, green, and inviting. They only use Organic to Green brand products which have very clean ingredients (a huge plus for sensitive skin)! Upon arrival, Heather explained the treatments and we started with body dry brushing + coco oil body treatment. Then, she gave me a scalp scrub + hair mask. This process was probably around 20-25 minutes. Then, I was given one hour total to enjoy the private lounge, infrared sauna (set to 133 degrees F) and steam shower. I spent 25 minutes in the sauna before taking a cold shower using their products, including a lovely body scrub. I also ate a few complementary snacks (mini KIND bars and fruit bars). After that, we concluded with their Signature Facial (~60 minutes) that included steam, aromatherapy, extractions, microdermabrasion, face mask, and much more. All throughout, Heather was very kind and answered all my skincare questions. Would absolutely recommend. I look forward to coming back! Not to mention, the price is really good if you buy the Groupon for the Bungalow Experience. For a total of $160 (Groupon was about $85 with the summer promotion, plus a $75 tip based on the full treatment price), I had 2.5 hours of pure relaxation. I started my day stressed out, and now I feel so much better. TLDR: amazing private spa experience using organic products at a reasonable price! Highly recommend!

I have visited countless spas all over the country, so I write this review with plenty of other good experiences to compare it to. The good: Scheduling was a breeze. I thought it seemed a little unorthodox to not provide a phone number (it seems that appointments are only scheduled via an online form), but I was able to secure the services I wanted on the date/time requested. My husband and I scheduled 90-minute deep tissue massages and facials (60-minute gentleman's for him and 90-minute oxygen for me). Just before we began our massages, a staff member let us know that the esthetician who was supposed to perform my husband's facial called in sick. We were disappointed, but they offered us some products to make up for the last minute cancellation. This was unnecessary and unexpected, but we were touched by the gesture. Additionally, my massage therapist was very sweet. It was an effective and relaxing service. The bad: The spa as a whole simply does not meet the standards of the rest of the hotel (the spa is located inside of the Casa Del Mar). In fact, it feels like the spa was a complete afterthought. The space is super tiny. The relaxation lounge is so small that it feels like you're walking into a closet. The locker room situation - absolutely embarrassing. There is only one restroom, one shower, and no designated area for changing, unless you want to change right in front of the door that could swing open at any moment. Because of this poor locker room design, another guest was changing in the restroom, which just so happened to be the only women's restroom on site. I needed to use the restroom, so I asked a staff member if there were any other ladies' rooms nearby. The only option presented to me was to enter the men's locker room and use the men's restroom. Gross. It probably goes without saying that all of the other basic spa amenities you'd expect to find at a hotel of this caliber, (such as a steam room and sauna, hot tea and so on) are also missing from this establishment. I could've overlooked these issues if the rest of my experience on site was top-notch, and as previously mentioned, my massage was very nice. However, my facial can only be described as hellacious. The esthetician was so aggressive during extractions that I actually burst into tears when I couldn't take the pain anymore. Keep in mind that I receive facials regularly, and have done so for many years. I am familiar with the process. I have NEVER experienced extractions so forceful, and an esthetician so unsympathetic. My skin was unbelievably irritated and inflamed afterwards. Two days post-treatment, and I am still experiencing not only redness and inflammation, but also scabs from the extractions. Unacceptable. I'm shocked and disappointed. I don't want a refund. I don't want or expect anything from the spa or Casa Del Mar in an attempt to make up for this terrible experience. I just wish I hadn't scheduled anything with Sea Wellness Spa in the first place, and believe that other guests should know what they're getting themselves into before visiting.

The amenities were cheap, the AC wasn't working, appointments ran late, and the operation felt held together by good intentions. Somehow a massage and facial became an almost four-hour adventure. The massage was fine. The facial was terrible. No one was rude--the place was just spectacularly unpolished. If you're looking for a basic neighborhood massage, you may be perfectly happy. If the website has you picturing a serene, elevated spa experience, lower that vision several floors. I went in for relaxation and left needing a glass of real wine and a legitimate spa day.

Once I filled out my form and handed back the ipad, I waited a total of 5 min before I was greeted by another staff member who took me take photos of my face before putting in a glass surround corner exam room, mind you on the 9th floor on Wilshire in Brentwood right before Santa Monica. The views were excellent the room was well decorated, organized, with breathtaking views and nothing like a hospital exam room. I was then introduced to Nikki H. my injector, who seemed very courteous and welcoming. She asked me specific questions regarding what were goals with tox and then asked if i'd make certain expressions with my face so she can make her analysis. Immediately after she had the NP Lovely come in and review the treatment we agreed on. Once she came, set up her kit, then proceeded to stick me while I was talking to the NP. Funny thing I didn't feel a thing and it was seemless. Once treatment was completed Nikki walked me to the reception to schedule a follow-up and was incredibly kind. This isn't my first rodeo so to have an injector handle the procedure so delicately for me not to notice while I was in mid discussion, was excellent. Happy to say due to the ambience, staff, an amazing injector Nikki and timely service. I will definitely be going back to them soon. Thanks Skin by Lovely and Nikki H. (Injector)

I started noticing a difference within a few months and after a year of treatments and my revised skin routine I felt like my skin was finally back to the way it used to be (acne-free, texture-free, bouncy, and glowing). It's now been two years with Cynthya and the Skin by Lovely team and my skin is better than ever. I rarely wear makeup and usually opt for a lightly tinted sunscreen. I can't recommend them enough!! Added (and very important) bonus: They're the kindest group of people who go above and beyond for their patients.
