Lighting is low, the space is quiet, and you're not dealing with chaos or rushed energy. The staff knows what they're doing. No awkward guessing, no wasted time. The massage was consistent, strong where it needed to be, and relaxing without feeling lazy. You can tell they've done this thousands of times. What stands out most is the atmosphere. It feels private and intentional, not like a crowded spa trying to push people through. You're able to actually relax instead of feeling like you're on a timer. If you want a place that delivers exactly what you expect without gimmicks, Raven Spa is solid.

At 31, after years of never really having to deal with acne, my skin exploded. I tried a variety of…read moreproducts and other estheticians before finding Cynthya (Cece) at Skin Lovely. She and the team completely transformed my skin and my self-confidence. Cynthya, patiently created and walked me through a new skin care routine, updating it and changing it when necessary, adding and deleting products to suit my skins needs. 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.

I got a pedicure, but as soon as I left, I realized I really didn't like the color, and I also…read morenoticed the polish was uneven. I went back inside immediately and politely explained that I wasn't happy with the result. I asked if it could be removed and requested a refund. I even offered a compromise by saying I was willing to pay for the removal or part of the service because I understood that time had been spent. Instead of trying to find a solution, the manager became very defensive and started raising her voice at me. I stayed calm and even asked why she was yelling because I was trying to have a respectful conversation. She also compared the situation to returning a shirt, saying that if you return a shirt, you can't expect your money back. I didn't think that was a fair comparison, especially since I came back immediately after the service because I was unhappy with both the color and the quality of the application. I understand that businesses may have different refund policies, but I expected to be treated with respect. Even if a refund wasn't possible, there are much better ways to handle a customer concern than yelling and becoming confrontational. Unfortunately, because of the way I was treated, I won't be returning.

I have never left a negative review before and always give places the benefit of the doubt and even…read moreinitially gave this place five stars the first time I came but I have been immensely frustrated by the people who work the front desk/reception at Fuller Smiles Santa Monica. I developed an extremely painful, very swollen, pus-filled dental abscess late last month, and called Fuller Smiles to see if they could have me come in that day to have it get evaluated or drained. I was told by the receptionist that no one could see me same day, and since it was a Friday I could check back on Monday. The abscess was swollen and painful and if left untreated can cause more infection, loss of the tooth, and sepsis, and I pointedly asked the receptionist so I can't be seen even if it's an abscess and a dental emergency? To which the receptionist replied no and asked me to check back three days later when they're open again on Monday. Of course, I found a different facility and got it drained that day and was confirmed by the other dentist of the abscess. I then went back to this Fuller Smiles a few days later to get it evaluated by Dr. Katie, my usual dentist, and she did a CT scan for me and referred me to an endodontist. I called the receptionist at Fuller Smiles today and asked if the results of my CT scan could be sent to the endodontist or to myself to show the endodontist so they could get a complete picture of what's going on. The receptionist then tried to tell me I didn't get a CT scan done, when I know I did because I was literally in the machine getting it done a few weeks ago. I then told her the date of the test and she found the record but then told me she couldn't send it over to me because of software issues, even though it is my legal right to get a copy of my imaging tests. I asked her how the endodontist would be able to evaluate me then without having my test results and she basically told me to get another repeat CT scan done there, without any regard to any unnecessary radiation exposure that would mean or if insurance would cover it. Overall I thought the dentists here were great, but Jackie at the front desk was very unsympathetic and unhelpful, and I am considering taking my business elsewhere just so I don't have to deal with her anymore.

What a fantastic private spa oasis! This place is truly a hidden gem. I booked the Bungalow…read moreExperience on Groupon which exceeded my expectations. 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!
