"I feel like I've tried most of the day spas and luxury spas in Los Angeles (and other cities for that matter) and honestly, most of the time it's just fluff but I don't really, truly feel pampered. This place was completely different in every way. They were friendly and helpful on the phone, helped me choose the right treatments, and never had any attitude, as mentioned by many other Citysearch users. That was so refreshing after being treated like a second-class citizen by many other places. The spa itself is small and private, with no crowded locker rooms or impersonal feeling. I was greeted warmly and genuinely, the lounge was really comfortable and had lots to keep me happy in between treatments, and above all my treatments were absolutely incredible. Everything was customized in my facial and my massage, and they really took the time to find out my concerns and goals for my skin as well as for my massage session. I've never felt treatments were personalized anywhere else, and after this visit I know how it feels to truly be looked after and pampered. I was so relaxed afterwards. This place is fantastic."

"I had a perfect experience getting a facial at Skin Haven. All my questions were answered on the phone in a friendly way, and from the minute I stepped into this beautiful studio, I felt at ease. It smelled great in reception and they gave me soft "spa socks" to wear during my visit which was great. My facialist went over the detailed form I filled out and we discussed my current home care, my concerns, and my goals and she customized the facial for me based on that conversation. She asked if I wanted to know what she was doing or just relax, which was nice. It was the ideal balance between knowing what was going on and really zoning out. The products were active and smelled delicious, and afterwards my skin was glowy, hydrated, and looked incredible. No redness, no welts, just amazing. I will be back and next time I am going to try a massage as well."

"I threw out my back on set so I called Skin Haven on the recommendation of one of the actors and they saved me! I had a deep tissue massage and went back a few days later for a Thai massage (they do the traditional type with the mat, just excellent) and all I can say is thank you. They were experienced, professional, personable, and great at their craft. Even though I was there for truly therapeutic treatments, the ambiance made me relaxed and comfortable. Definitely a great find. Loved the soft socks too."

"This place gives an amazing deep tissue massage. Most places advertise that they do deep tissue/sports massage but Skin Haven really knows what that means. I have had lots of massages and this one really made me feel taller, lighter, and invigorated yet relaxed. Being an athlete means that I need regular muscle and body work, and I loved everything about my time here. Already booked for next Sunday (they are open 7 days a week which is very helpful). I live in Santa Monica but it is well worth driving to, and they also do outcall massage so I can have them out to my home if I want, which is nice. Excellent quality work."

"It doesn't get any better than this for ambiance, massages, and friendly service. My session was unreal and the masseuse was nice, friendly and above all talented and knowledgeable. I can't say enough nice things about my experience here, and mostly I will say that I know what it feels like to be treated well. Nuff said."

"I was very happy with the service, the treatments, the lounge area, and all the details they thought of to make my experience pleasant. There were tons of great magazines for men and women, snacks and even chocolate, herbal iced and hot teas, relaxing couches and loungers, and pretty hip music that sounded Indian. A much funkier, hipper place than most and great massage therapists. Definitely give this place a try -- I went on a gift certificate and will be back again soon for sure."

"From the time I first called Skin Haven, I knew this would be a different experience from the typical Spa. The space is great and so private! Sharon went over all my questions and did a thorough consultation. I definitely felt how much personal attention went into my visit and it makes a huge difference. She gave me some amazing tips and great advice which has really helped my skin. After my incredible facial, I was so relaxed! My skin was so glowy. The products they use and sell are wonderful!. I've tried so many brands and this is the first that really works and at a great price. I already made my next appointment for a massage and body treatment and can't wait to go back. Workshops are great too and they can even hold spa parties there! I know what I'm doing for my next birthday."

"I am not normally moved to go back and write about a particular experience but Skin Haven demands this exception. From the moment I walked in the door on another typically crazy day, my mood changed. It all starts with the tone set when greeted at the door, on to the exceptional facial to the seemingly decadent signature massage, there is a complete feeling of escape-pretty much forgot where I was!

Bottom Line-Go directly to Skin Haven-oh yeah, after all the treatments, they have a great relaxtion room, muted lighting and soft robes and socks to lounge around for as long as you like-feel like you are at your own personal retreat....highest recommendation!"

"Skin Haven truly is a haven for the luxury body treatments. I've been seeing Sharon for a few years now and my skin is glowing. She makes sure to find out all your details so she can recommend the best products and treatments for your skin and body. The new spa is absolutely inviting. You'll want to get there early so you can unwind in the zen lounge before your treatment. Highest recommendation!!"

"I love Skin Haven not just for their amazing facials, but it's also the perfect little getaway. I can go there to spend an hour or so before my appt. relaxing, or if I'm in a hurry I can breeze in & out and feel totally refreshed! I also sent my husband here, who is a Spa-virgin, and he loved it! Very unpretentious, just serene with really great services."

"After researching spas on citysearch, I came across Skin Haven. Reading such highly recommended reviews really made me want to try it. I called to make an appointment and they were booked 2 months ahead for saturdays...! I finally got my facial yesterday and let me tell you, I was impressed. People love this place so much because different from your typical commercial spa. It's very private and personal, Sharon spends time answering and explaining everything you want to know, and most importantly you actually feel and see the results after your treatment! I am very excited to say that I have found a spa that I would definitely go back to."

"I started to look my age shortly after I moved to LA. All my years of moisturizing were of no avail when my skin was confronted with LA's dry, windy climate. Wrinkles appeared overnight.

Then a friend introduced me to Sharon at Skin Haven. She listened carefully to my concerns and went above and beyond to remember and treat my individual skin problems. The redness I had always fought disappeared under her care. The lines on my face and neck receded. And best of all, I look ten years younger. In fact, I got carded buying a bottle of wine yesterday. And I'm 38!

I'm in a profession in which, unfortunately, looks matter. And no one touches my skin but Skin Haven. Thanks, Sharon!!!"

"I have been going to Skin Haven at least once every month for over a year for massages and facials, and I have never once had an appointment begin even a minute late. This spa is a small business run by two very amazing women who care very deeply about each and every client and the experience they have at Skin Haven. Their treatments are amazing, VERY effective, relaxing and long (75 full minutes!); and they don't pressure you to buy products. Skin Haven offers small-business charm, tons of personal attention and a zen atmosphere that (obviously) the majority of their clients adore. I can't say I know many people who care more about being able to pay gratuity on a credit card than about getting the most for their money."
