Sparadise La Brea

Excellent.This is a lovely little place with a calm oriental vibe. It is always clean and the staff are unfailingly courteous. I had the best massage of my life from Guy, who is a very gifted masseur. I had repeated neck strain that his massage helped me greatly with. He is friendly and very professional and provides exactly the right amount of pressure needed. Brilliant. I always leave feeling refreshed and tranquil. The prices here are extremely reasonable. A true mini-paradise experience.

Maybe the best massage I’ve ever had. True Swedish with some stretching and pulling that I didn’t even know my body needed. The therapist was very receptive to my bodies limits and needs. Very good prices too! Will definitely come back!

I don’t get massages very often, and being a bit older I deal with some joint pain. Guy was incredibly attentive to the areas that needed extra care and gave one of the best massages I’ve had. I left feeling relaxed and much looser. I’ll definitely be going back

One star for the owner who answer the phone and chat online, in the first time when asking by chat online on they website never answer my question, i asking about who male therapist working today? and i do asking again in another week, and the owner answer me. who working . because i don't have schedule who working on the day i want go to get massage of course i do ask i think everyone will asking too, and on Thursday last week i do ask again by chat online and i do explain want to make appointments,and the owner his name is Ben look angry say better you call and requests for the person you like to get massage and when chatting i do telling too for the name of the person and why not telling me the person i tell is working , so the owner doesnt want tell people who working on the day when people asking . not like other place they willing to tell and suggestions for the people. this place the owner is very dumb and arrogant , all the massage therapist here is good i give 5 star plus but all massage therapist work here have less opportunity cause of the act the owner ,better work in another place.

I drove 45 min and got there at 7pm he asked me what I wanted and walked behind the desk then said they are fully booked. Yet all the massage therapist are sitting in the lobby, then he said he doesn’t have any business cards. I was prepared to tip well also I heard many good things about this place, but they weren’t very welcoming at all

The most horrible message I ever got! Me and my boyfriend went for a couples massage and the lady that did my massage did not know what she was doing at all they said it was a combo massage but it did not give that it gave she was just rubbing lotion on my back. Then when we were done the man at the front desk expected a tip his whole mood changed when we didn’t tip them for that horrible massage!!

ANDY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: 90 min Swedish Massage with Hot Stone I’ve always had a great experience here, today was my first time with Andy. He gave me the best massage of my life (and I have had many). He was very professional, polite and his attention to detail and skill is impeccable and unmatched. The whole time I was in my head like “omg this is amazing!” I will only see ANDY from now on. Also the customer service at the front desk is always very professional and courteous making you feel very welcome, the ambiance is calming, aesthetically pleasing, clean and a major plus that they have the heated blankets on the massage table. I’m already looking forward to my next massage. Sparadise La Brea never disappoints!

OMG! Alice and Eric are truly AMAZING! Alice made me feel so comfortable and identified all my tensed areas! I have no doubt about going back! Thank you Sparadise❤️

I always enjoy my massages here. I don't have a go-to therapist since they seem to rotate staff often, but the massages are consistently good every visit. I leave feeling relaxed every time.

I really like the strong massage ‍ I had the experience to get an amazing Thai massage. The place is very clean and professional. This is not one of those sleazy, dirty, happy ending type of places. This is where you go when you want a really great massage.

Had a 90 minute massage with ANDY. His technique is ok overall but not the best I've had! He did mess with my tendon at the front of my shoulders unfortunately! As a professional he needs to know the anatomy of that area and avoid pressure on tendons! The pain stayed with me for 4 days! You need to come out of a massage better than you went in right? Also the angle of their beds doesn't allow for masseuses to work on you properly!

Trying not to gatekeep... but this place is the best! I've always had a great experience. Service is friendly and always with a smile. The massages have been excellent and affordable too! They always have an available appointment last minute. I can't say enough good things. The ambience is on par as well. Nice, comfortable and much classier than your average hole in the wall reflexology joint !

Received an amazing thai massage from Kim, Was very impressed with her skills and technique. Was very satisfied and will definitely come back again.

I paid for a deep tissue massage and WOW The gentleman who serviced me has the Midas touch. (I wish I asked for his name) I expressed where my tension and pain was and he addressed them with care. Wellness is a journey and I will be back next month.

I got a 1 hour combo massage, that hurt quite a bit for medium pressure. I asked for my knots to be worked on, but there was none of that, just a bunch of elbows and pressing. The price was $65, BUT you are apparently REQUIRED to pay a MINIMUM of a $20 tip (30%), as your masseuse hovers at the register watching you pay it. I requested to tip a certain amount, but was told by the receptionist that I needed to follow the tip guide. This should have been discussed over the phone, or at least upon arrival. Additionally, you can hear everyone talking in the corridor, despite the spa music. Less than relaxing experience while also being hustled. The massage was ok, at best, but certainly not worth the $85.

Get the best massage every time I am here. Ask for Alice if you want it to be extra good!

OMG! Alice and Eric are truly AMAZING! Alice made me feel so comfortable and identified all my tensed areas! I have no doubt about going back! Thank you Sparadise

Went here maybe a year ago and forgot the name and frantically tried to remember this place. Luckily we did because this place does the best massages I've experienced. They really get in there. Some places when you tell them hard pressure is okay, it doesn't really feel that way, but here, with something like a deep tissue massage, they really take it seriously. My masseuse found knots and spent some time with them. We're seriously considering regularly every month.

This was one of the best massages I've ever had! I had a one hour deep tissue massage with Josh and he was FANTASTIC! He was very respectful, strong, accommodating and just an excellent experience. I've had massages at other places before that walked out of like "eh that was okay" and for this I walked out so thankful, happy and satisfied. I will definitely be back again and request Josh! I highly recommend this place!

My go to massage place... Oliver is a god send . He walked on my back and go every knot I had out. I feel like a new person.

Pricing was the best part! You definitely get what you pay for and then some. Staff were super kind and friendly; they definitely make you feel welcomed. The place itself is a bit outdated looking but it gets the job done so it doesn't really matter much. My massage was great!

I do couples massage once a month atleast with my partner and we LOVE LOVE LOVE ANDY AND OLIVER! Truly the best. Andy is so gentle but yet gets all the knots out.

I decided to give this place another chance. I used to come here pre-pandemic and it was good. I tried this place twice afterwards with different masseuses & maybe I just got the wrong people but it didn't meet my expectations. The location is clean & very zen & customer service is friendly. However, the both times I went, it seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. Usually after a massage my muscle pain is relieved, but after this one it got worse. This lady was pushing her elbow into my scapula twice. They're friendly, but after trying this place twice, I won't be coming back. Atmosphere 4/5 Customer service 3/5 Massage 2/5

I like this place and they were able to accommodate me in to their scheduling in short notice. This was my first time getting a deep tissue massage and it felt good. However, I did develop a few bruises but I know my body can be a bit sensitive. The person I had was pleasant and communicated with me when I was telling him that he was massaging too rough. I may go again and get a different massage.

First time here and was totally satisfied .. great massaging skills from Tony. Definitely would be a return customer

Massage was fine. But afterwards had a 10+ minute conversation where she was trying to get me to change my tip because it was not within the tip guidelines she showed me of $20-$30 for a $67 massage? I'm not from the USA and had no idea you are even supposed to tip for a massage. Which, what? I am paying for a service. Why do I then need to put a huge tip amount for the service? This person is seeing a lot of this $67 for one hours work. I found this through my workout class app classpass and don't pay a tip on a workout class, which is a service. And it's not like I'm paying for food or paying for an uber and then put a service fee on top of that? But the woman started saying she works hard and if it was a good massage she deserved a good tip. Saying that because I gave her a 15% tip it meant her service was bad but she had been doing this for 15 years bla bla. Charge more for your massage if you are expecting people to pay more. So they can actually be aware of how much they will have to pay... I am now SO stressed ((after a massage??)). Makes it pretty redundant and a waste of money, doesn't it. It was actually terrible service all this considering. I have NEVER heard of someone trying to make you tip more after you've tipped. And 15%-25% is the standard tipping. I tried to understand - people seriously pay nearly a 50% tip? Surely not? She started talking to her co-worker in another language and was obviously bitching about my 15% tip instead of the 50% she wanted... I tried to explain that I had not budgeted for a tip, let alone a huge tip and she just continued the cycle of "but this is how much is recommended, do you want to change your tip?" And then I'd say but I don't have to pay anything and she would say no you don't it's just a guideline but then kept asking me to tip her more. Then I was waiting for my uber inside and she was blaming me for making her late to her next client because I was supposed to leave. I've just spent a lot of money, I can't wait for my uber inside? Honestly DON'T go here. Complete waste of money. Retrospectively, I've checked yelp and the most recent review from a woman called Samantha says she was told $20 minimum tip was mandatory. Agree with how Samantha described her massage too.

Sparadise N E V E R disappoints! My man and I have been here a hand full of time's and truly the staff is incredible. Truly recommend this place for a solo date for a couples massage, whatever it is. This is your go to. ‍

I left the business SEVERAL messages and they NEVER returned my calls. Terrible customer service.

Well...I am very picky when it comes to the massage. But I have to say that it was very delightful to receive massage from Tony. He has very good hands, pressure and smooth touch in the whole hour. If I had time, I would ask for longer hours. The earlier massage I got what from Ceasar Palace $270/hour in Las Vegas and Tony was much better. I would recommend Tony if you want to get someone good.

Oh my God. This is my go to massage place and i'm never disappointed every time. Always consistent with amazing service. Got massaged by Kim and it was truly the best massage. 10/10

I was able to walk in and get my massage! I had Kobe (?) I think his name was and he placed his hands on my back and immediately I knew everything was going to be okay. It was so relaxing and he placed just the right amount of pressure I was so relaxed and limp when he was done and immediately made another appointment before I left. I found my new massage place!

Dang!! Todays massage took me to different worlds! My therapist, Joe, was so talented! I told him where my aches and pains were and he expertly worked on them. There were moments when the stretching and the pressure felt so good that I wanted time to just stop. I highly recommend Joe. I love the heated tables because I always get chilled which doesn't work well with a massage. My room was very quiet and peaceful with gentle music playing. This is was little patch of heaven, such a treat. And very reasonably priced. Benefits with paying cash or venmo.

Came here very last minute . I called and they were able to get me in within 30 minutes . My massage was very great I got q combination of relaxing and deep tissue. Very small place but gets the job done .

Have had 3 great massages over the past couple months from James, Alex and Oliver. They are all very different, but they all deliver a great relaxing experience. My body and mind thank you. Plus, the front desk people are very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here at almost 2 months after rotator cuff repair surgery. I tried to get here as often as I could. It has been since February that I started to come here. I am currently doing physical therapy twice at the center and twice in the pool per week. The shoulder is stiff, and PT was really hurting me, so I seek help. Tony is a wonderful masseuse. He was able to take the pain and the body stress away. I sleep better every time I come here. He uses hot stone, and I tried cupping. Both a procedure that Tony is good at. He is also very creative and intuitive. He responded to my pain and stiffness and helped relieve my discomfort. It was a great complimentary to any physical therapy, I think. He was careful working on my post surgery shoulder. Tony cares a lot. He was able to melt away the stress in my muscle with out hurting me. I also love the stretching as he massages along the stretching. Really relaxed me. I totally recommend this place. I've been coming here for a while now, and I'm loving it. Don't forget to ask for Tony.

Called 20 minutes before my appointment and thank god they had a spot available. Parking is a little confusing because it says "30 minute limit" the receptionist went outside with me to check that I was in a good spot. Already good vibes. The massage bed was so warm and cozy, and the massage was incredible. I normally just pop to different places and leave feeling uncomfortable or scammed. But I'm SO relaxed. My masseuse spent so much time on my problem areas and continuously checked that the pressure was okay. Highly recommend. I got the 90 minute deep tissue massage.

Amazing experience every time I've visited. The massage therapists really know what they are doing and are always kind and professional. Tony will change your life!

I got a massage and the body scrub and I loved how my skin felt after the scrub. I had really bad pain by my shoulders and they massaged it away. It was painful for the next two days but it was worth it. Unfortunately the stress ball moved to my scapula. I will be going for more. The price for body scrub and massage was 120$ with a promotion. I recommend it!

I set up an appointment with about less than 1 hour notice and they were able to accommodate. I got a female masseuse and she found my tight muscles on my shoulders and upper back. I do prefer the thai massage with the feet with tension from the masseuse hanging on fabric from the ceiling as they apply more pressure. LOL. This place was quiet during my massage session. This review is past due about 4 months past due but it is a good place to get a massage. Place was clean and it smelled great! Room was private and dim... VERY relaxing. Thank you!

I had an Amazing massage with Kim. It was very relaxing & enjoyed! She asked about my tense areas, and addressed all areas. Feel sooo much better, Woooosah! Check them out, great pricing also.

I had a great massage from Eric. I was so sore and tight from all my work outs and he took good care of me. Got a lot of my tension out. Definitely would recommend it!

Tony is superb! I had a deep-tissue massage, and he added some Thai massage techniques. He's very skilled and seems to care about tailoring his work to your needs. Also, the spa itself is pleasant and clean. Definite recommend!

I have been going here once a month for the past year. Today I was officially kicked out LOL I had a 30 minute body scrub and a 90 minute massage. It was good but not the best. The pressure was too hard. Felt like she was massaging my bones. I kept saying a little later. Please don't massage my ears with my piercings. Once again please don't massage my ears with my piercing. Normally I do 90 minute massages every single month and it's pretty good. But this time my experience was not the most the best. After the massage: apparently They have a new sign posted stating a two hour service you must tip $50 or more. Well, I wasn't interested in Tipping $50 or more. I did tip $15.00. Obviously that was not to his satisfaction. He brought the sign to me and My friend saying " for a 2 hr tip it's $50 or more". My friend tipped the same. He told us this will be the last time we do service for you. I was shocked. I don't think people should have to tip $50 or more. Gosh can I have my $15.00 back? it seems like this is a mandatory requirement for a two hour service now. I found his comment to be very unprofessional . Well, I guess I will have to find another massage place. I would never want to lose a customer because their tip didn't meet my expectations.

You really can't beat their early bird special $39/1hr Unless you guys know something I don't? And if so, please do share with me!

I don't even know why I bother splurging $125+ on one-hour massages when a Thai massage (if you find the right place), always feels SO much more effective: be it relaxing or therapeutic. And just so much cheaper. Trying to resume post-Covid routine massages and after a good experience at the Weho location, gave this one a shot. It's kind of hard to find but once you turn into the small entry road, there's ample parking just outside of the facility. Whereas Weho charges $59/hr, here it is $58 if you pay cash But what's evident in both locations is a 60min combo massage, is so incredible and an absolute steal, so of course tip generously (they also provide guides to encourage the above 20% formula you would typically apply...i.e. $15+ encouraged for an hour service, which when you think about it, is absolutely reasonable). Small, tight quarters but definitely does the trick when you want a quick fix.

Oh wow. Wow and wow, I am recommending this place to everyone after coming here twice in one week! Booking is easy with the first visit a late night accommodation and the second visit took advantage of the $40 early bird weekday special. Sparadise is a cozy sanctuary on the bustling La Brea Avenue, with a parking lot in back. Look quick, because it's easy to miss. The front reception is very friendly and will ask you pressure preferences before he takes you in. In back, I am loving the serene sitting room with the fountain, the rooms themselves have terrycloth tables and blue lights underneath them. Everything is immaculately clean as well. I felt comfortable immediately both times! I have to recommend Arthur who asked me where the problem areas were and delivered a medium to firm massage even if he is famous for deep tissue (so I'm told ha)! After the session, you're treated to water and candies up front as you fill the tip envelope. I will definitely be back and checking their website for specials!

My husband just paid for a 60 minute massage but only received a 41 minute session. We used to come to Sparadise very often, but over the years just like all other industries the service and quality have diminished My husband just got home frustrated and said that the massage was not even good. That the massage therapist squirted oil or lotion directly on his body in heavy squirts, non-therapeutic at all. That the pressure was light and almost finger scratching like. Or like gently running your fingertips and nails along the body without any pressure or technique. He is not the type to complain, and didn't let the front desk know. Because in his experience, even when you let the front desk know that you were not completely satisfied in that moment, they will feel defensive and not take your complain serious. So I offered to write a review on his behalf, and he agreed. Unsure if he or I will ever return to this establishment

Please avoid this place at all costs. I'd really hate for any of you to get injured. Pretty sure you're not supposed to press so hard on someone's eyeballs to the point where you feel like your eyes are being gouged out. Also pressing so hard on the temples where an artery could have been burst. Both of my arms were also stretched so far back that a muscle was pulled in my chest and that took 3 weeks to heal. I've had plenty of deep tissue massages in my life and I have never gotten injured and my body treated like garbage. We weren't even given waivers to sign or anything before this massage. I should probably sue you guys.

I truly enjoyed this location. We usually go to the sherman oaks/studio city location but they were booked up for the day. This location accommodates last minute appointment. We were in need of a hour massage and didn't want to go to the West Hollywood location because they're very rude at that location. The massage rooms are very clean and smell very fresh. The waiting area is the most peaceful area I've seen at any spa/massage location. The next time I go I will upload a photo to put with this review. The sound of water falls and smell of lavender will put a smile on my face anytime. We will definitely come back to this location the next time.

Alice has been absolutely vital in helping me to stay loose and flexible for my cross training. She is able to find all the key spots of tension while helping me to feel relaxed. Looking forward to going back again and again.

I've been here several times over the past few years, but my recent experience wasn't great. My initial appointment got rescheduled a couple times due to a mistake by the masseuse. This was a little annoying, but she was nice and patient during the massage. However, her hands were rough, which made me a bit uncomfortable since I have sensitive skin. What was also frustrating was that she wouldn't allow me to pay with Venmo for some reason. I've been paying that way since I started going to this spa because they offer a discount with that method of payment. Plus, the receptionist told me that I could still pay that way when I made the appointment. But for some reason, she wouldn't allow me to. I still tipped 20% despite everything and she seemed dissatisfied with that. I was very courteous even with all of the inconveniences so I really didn't appreciate the entitled attitude. I won't be going here again.

Best place to get a massage! So relaxing, I've been multiple times and Tyler is my favorite!! He is so talented and nice!! They always ask about injuries and how much pressure you like! Very thorough and professional!! I can't wait to come back!

Best massage i have ever had. Did the combination. Space is small but it works. Highly recommended.

Worth it! Did a walk-in swedish/thai combination massage this evening and really enjoyed my experience. First time here. My two biggest things are firm pressure and getting the full 60min. My masseuse did both. Will be back.

Went yesterday since I had to wait 3 hours. Got a two hour deep tissue and Tony was possibly the best ever. Deep tissue, stretches, simply the best.

I made an appointment and they did have any women available. They expected a man to massage my wife, totally unacceptable. They also didn't let me and my wife unclothe ourselves. In addition the rooms are not clean hence the dim lighting. A very disappointing experience.
