Sparadise La Brea

First time being here & it was amazing.
P.K and Bow did a wonderful job they focused in the areas that needed the most work. Staff was extremely helpful since the moment we called to inquire about an appointment. They took us in right away and when we arrived they were extremely friendly and helpful. Helping us select the type of massage that would best fit our needs. Definitely coming back soon.

Don’t go this place they are so greedy and always ask you more tips, if they think no enough, they will treat you like shit.

This place was great. I had a long two weeks of stress from business. I made an appointment at 5pm. the room was relaxed & ready for me. I iniitally went for the thai massage to get all the tension out of me omg it felt so good even though it hurta little I knew I neeeded it. so I just asked the masseusee to switch back & forth between thai & swedish so I wont scream lol, but I had so much tension OMG when I left there I felt like a jellyfish and really relaxed the whole weekend. I suggest this to anyone who has a high stress position

It was my first visit to this spa and took a group of ladies with me for a birthday celebration.
Service was excellent and the team was very accommodating to our needs. The massage was absolutely fabulous. I’m ready to schedule another visit.

Went here on a Groupon and was not disappointed. I asked Ben for the hardest pressure possible and he did just that! He worked hard to get my knots out. When I left I was in a daze I was so relaxed.
Great prices! A little cheaper than most places, and as long as you don’t need all the frills you will not be the least bit mad you came here.

Bow was amazing and I will definitely be back, she made my first experience here great. The atmosphere is very serene and zen!

I come here all the time… by far the best deal ever! You get an hour deep tissue massage for only $ 45 bucks. Can’t beat that! I come twice a week…(I’m kinda obsessed to say the least. Lol) Ask for Ron he’s my favorite! But everyone I’ve had here is great!
4÷1÷2016
Usually I request Ron and Joe… but today Ron was off, and Joe was booked till later so I tried Daniel. He was amazing too! He was so good I made another appt. tomorrow with him again. I swear I could hardly sit up, let alone walk today my back was that messed up and Daniel did a lot of the same trigger points and stuff my physical therapist did yesterday to help my back… and it was like 80% better after my massage. He might even be better than my physical therapist. (And ¼ of the price Lol!) If anyone has back problems like me, I assure you Daniel knows what he’s doin! I was nervous to get a massage while my back was messed up and now I’m so happy that I did. I’ll be able to work tonight without being miserable all night! Thanks guys… love this place!

GOOD PRESSURE: Joe was my masseur and applied GREAT pressure. There were several moments where I debated whether or not to ask for softer pressure, and 4 out of 5 times I didn’t ask for softer because I wanted to get those knots loose. (I’ve also only had a handful of massages in my lifetime so I don’t know all that much) But I definitely prefer a place that I can depend on to get powerful massages (I’ve been to one other that was very disappointing and more expensive).
NOT COMPLETELY RESOLVED AFTERWARDS: I did feel relaxed afterwards, but I feel like a massage isn’t something you can do once and expect 100% of your tension/​stress is gone, especially if it’s built up over time…
TYPE OF MASSAGE UNSURE: I don’t know what type of massage I got… I made the appointment for the early bird special and said head neck and shoulders but when I went in, there was no confirmation of the type of massage I «ordered» and Joe asked me about my focus areas before he began. So was it thai? sparadise special? I don’t know. But it was full body with a lot of shoulder focus. The head massage was great — I wanted more of that.
MENTHOL OIL, A BIG PLUS: The OIL they used was great! Because after the massage was done, I felt mint/​menthol around my shoulders and that is SO appreciated/​needed. (maybe they used lemongrass on me? idk if all their oils have menthol in it but if you check in you get a free oil sample.)
LIGHTING IS A BIT TOO DARK, AND THEREFORE COULDN’T TELL HOW CLEAN THE BED WAS, but whatever. I’m over it. It definitely wasn’t gross or offputting. I wonder how often they wash the mattress cover though that’s near the head… They do put a sheet over it which I’m sure is replaced each time but… still.
DISCOUNTS/​DEALS: Early Bird special — make an appointment for mon-​fri 10am, 11am, or 12pm. and you’ll get an hour massage for $ 39. + gratuity.
PARKING ENTRANCE IS EASY TO MISS: RIGHT after McDonald’s entrance is a very small entrance, it’s right before the side street nook, so if you miss it, just make a right on the next street and circle around again.
LAYOUT: I think I counted 5 rooms. All with curtains, and all bordering the perimeter of the main waiting/​center room with the buddha head.

This was a lovely surprise, I enjoyed every bit of my 60 minute massage. Big S/​o to Bow and Ray, they were so sweet and made my first time worth going again. I highly recommend this place

The best place to finish a tough week. It is indeed a paradise. Asa soon as I walked in I felt a relaxing energy: the music and the lightning calms you down. Ron made me feel so good. He asked me if I had any preferences on areas for massage and a pressure applied. He broke down all the nuts in back, and I feel so much better now. Thank you

Enjoyed the Valentine couple package. Very relaxing and invigorating at the same tine. My guest especially enjoyed the Rose essential oil. I usually go alone so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but, the therapist made us both very comfortable and at ease. I would come back for another couple massage!

Me and my bf had a Swedish massage done… total bliss. We really enjoyed our massages tonite… the dim lights, tranquil music and the water fountain in the waiting room set the mood. The staff was super nice and curteous and I also got a free aromatherapy oil (coupon thru Unilocal). We will be coming back!

This is a good massage place not too far away from me in the mid-​Wilshire/​La Brea section of things. I called and made an appointment for Alex over the phone per the reviews here and was told that he would be available. When I got there right before I got undressed for the massage, the kind front desk person apologized profusely and told me that Alex, in fact, was not available but that they had a replacement instead. He did ask me if that was OK and I was OK with it. No points off there.
The massage was a typical Thai massage with deep stretching and moderate pressure. Overall the massage was an ⁸⁄₁₀ which is great in my book. My masseur gave me the full hour and maybe even went over even though I reserved the last time slot.
The ambiance was clean and relaxing. The buddha head fountain thing in the middle waiting area was pretty impressive, even though I did not get to spend too much time in this area.
I took off a star because I like to reserve my 5 stars for truly exceptional experiences and also because all over the front there are signs for «suggested gratuity» which in my opinion is a personal choice how much you tip. The suggested gratuities were anywhere between $ 15 – 20, which, for a $ ⁴⁵⁄₆₀ min massage per the Unilocal deal to me is a little steep. So they kind of try to guilt trip their customers to tip a lot which I think is unacceptable. A tip is earned and I think should be at the discretion of the customer depending on their experience.

Came here for a couples massage on Vday. It was %109, they had chocolates and some fruit punch out, the guy at the front and the masseuse were really sweet. I had a female masseuse and the pressure was perfect. Their aromatherapy was also very relaxing. The place itself was very clean, and quite, with soothing music playing in the background.
Parking: The place is tucked away in a tiny entrance, in between the McDonalds and that other random turn in street, so you kinda have to slow down while driving down La Brea to find the entrance that leads you to the parking in the back.

This place is a hidden gem. I went for a couples message a month ago and I’ve been day dreaming about it ever since!

My favorite place to get a massage and know I’m getting functional AND relaxing massage, consistently! I’ve been here a few times now (I don’t do the check-​in every time), and I’ve been happy with my massages every time! I’ve tried the Hollywood location of Sparadise as well assuming they would be just as good… nope, stay away, and stick with this location! I first came here because it was so close to where I used to live. Now that I live farther away, I still make the trip to come to this one, which is a big deal because I’m the type to want to keep trying new places. I just got gifted with 3 more massages here, so I’ll be coming back and so looking forward to them! My favorite is to add the foot soak option and treat yourself to a 100min bliss… so worth it!

Nice ambiance.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but it didn’t meet my expectations. I’ve done European, Korean, American… this was my first Thai spa experience, and I didn’t find it any different than my American experience. Besides that, it’s a good place to come for a massage.

Pam was the bomb! I brought in my mom Debora and good friend Arvetta. We had a fabulous massage for 45 $ they offered us a promotion that they had going on. Pam claimed my back! Best deep tissue massage ever!

I took both my parents here and they loved it. Both said they would be back. If my dad who is a picky man loved it I know it’s a good place. He dislikes being massaged in a public place so I Unilocaled it and this place had good stars .
My mom asked for a soft massage but it was too soft so she said next time she will ask for a more sturdier massage.
I waited in the front and the waterfall and aroma smells were very soothing. I’m a self conscious person but I might go a massage for myself.
I do recommend this place based on my parents review. $ 45 for an hour is a great deal.

I did a couple’s massage with my partner there yesterday. We have had MANY massages all over the place. This was by far the BEST massage we’ve ever had. Our massage therapists were so attentive to us. They would whisper what was going to happen next and asking occasionally if the pressure was okay. I appreciated that so much! I cannot tell you how many massage places I have been to where they don’t even ask you what pressure you want and it turns out feeling terrible. But here with all the attention I was receiving, the aromatherapy, and the hot stones, I felt like an M&M melting in the palms of their hands.
And the prices are unbelievable! Just call in, they will give you a great deal. I had to ask multiple times to make sure the price was right just because it was that good.
If you are looking for relaxing place that gives great massages at stellar prices, this is it. I don’t write many reviews, only when I feel it is deservedly so. You won’t regret going here. This place is great and I wanted to share that with everyone. I am done hopping around to different massage parlors around the city and even the state for that matter. This is it. This is my momentary escape to paradise in the hustle and bustle of LA.
