Cinema Wellness Skin & Body Boutique Spa

One of the best facials that I ever had, my face went from dull to bright and polished! Anna took to time to consult me on my inside to outside look, I’m so happy I found this place on Groupon. I booked my next appointment!

Anna is the best!!! I live in San Francisco and always make sure to book an appointment with her in advance of my business trips to L.A. I wish I could take her with me to San Francisco, as I haven’t found anyone there as good as she is!!! She is very attentive, knowledgable and makes you feel taken care of. She really listens to you and shows that she cares. Even more, you can tell that her treatments are top of the line and she caters to what your skin needs. I have struggled with acne and hyperpigmentation for as long as I can remember, and every time I see Anna I see a noticeable improvement in the tone and texture of my skin. When I’ve visited for longer periods of time and have been able to see her on a more frequent basis, I have seen even more progress with how my skin looks. I so wish I could see her more often — maybe I need to move to L.A. Anna, thank you so much for helping my skin look its best!!!

Anna is the best!!! Not only does she go above and beyond in providing you great service when it comes to massages, facials or microdermabrasion (those are the services I’ve used) but on top of it all she is so friendly, kind, sweet and attentive which makes for an even more wonderful and relaxing experience!

I got a Groupon gift for my birthday for this place because its near my house. When I first called to schedule an appointment they a) incapable of figuring out figuring out how to find/​credit my coupon even tho I gave them the exact Groupon number. They had to call back 5 x to schedule an appointment no earlier than 3 weeks from the time of my call. When I tried and schedule again before the expiration date they said «We don’t want your business» to me and hung up. They are unbelievably rude — no interest in even experienced what their approach to their customers is once you manage to figure out a time and date.

Ana was fantastic! I have gone back twice now. I loved my facial and microdermabrasion on both occasions, and feel that now I have a basis for the skin I have always wanted. Ana is professional and down to earth and the location is intimate and beautiful as well as relaxing. I can’t wait for my next service! Thank you Ana!

My first facial and I enjoyed it very much.

Booked for my BF and I. We got there a little late but still had an amazing experience. We were met with a warm welcome refreshments and a great atmosphere. The over all experience was amazing.
Everything is nearly in its place and very clean.
Both my BF and myself were very happy with our deep tissue massages. We will definitely be going back.
Parking:
Definitely try to get there early so you can find parking as it is a busy area and it might take a few tries before you find a spot on the st. All spots have meters.
There is a parking lot in back of the Gym you can park back there as well. Also there is one spot where the trash can is and there is lines on the floor indicating you can not park there but you definitely can. You won’t get a ticket or be towed so go for it if it’s the only spot available.
If you arrive and there is no answer at the door don’t worry they are probably just finishing up with their current clients. Hope this helps. Book and enjoy! ^_​_​^

Ana was amazing. She made my skin look flawless. I will be coming back for more treatments. It was so relaxing and she took her time to explain everything to me. Thank you for taking good care of my skin

I used to see Ana on a monthly basis approximately 4 years ago, but then she moved to silver lake, which made it more difficult for me to see her (I live in SM). In those four years, I went to Burke and JW Marriott for my facials and was super upset. The difference is that those facialists did not show the same kind of care that Ana does. Ana actually cares about your skin, and will do what she needs to do to make you glow.
I just saw her today for an early morning facial, and am very happy with the results. Will definitely trek to Silver Lake on a regular basis to see Ana

Ana is FANTASTIC!!!
I came to her after having problems arranging an appointment with another facial location. Anna fit me right into her schedule. I had a horrible accident a few months ago to the face and Brooke out like crazy and now stuck with acne scars. This was my very first micro treatment ever and it was a magnificent experience! I saw a difference on my skin right away. The vitamin C did hurt but I’m topically good with pain. I will definitely come back for a second treatment in 4 months and there after until my scars are gone. Also, I told her my eczema was coming out and even suggested doing a treatment next time on my arms that will help with that, she’s the best!!!

Loved this place. The massage, facial & paraffin were excellent & so was the customer service. Will definitely be retuning

I came here on a whim after finding a deal on Groupon, and I am so glad I did! I got a microderm and facial from Ana, who worked wonders on my face.
I do a simple care routine on my face everyday, but it has been a while since I went and got a treatment. The results were instantaneous!!! My face is so smooth, the discoloration has disappeared, and most of all, I feel great :)
The spa has ample parking in the back and despite what I read on other Unilocalers’ comments, you CAN pay tip with card.
Ana is so sweet and helpful, I definitely recommend this spot for facials/​microderms!

If I could I would give this place 0 stars. I recently bought a Groupon for a couples massage. I called to make an appointment but I didn’t have my voucher number so I said I would reschedule. when I did try to reschedule she said that the office does not do couples massage on the weekends I let her know that no where on the voucher did it say that. In no way did they try to Accommodate then she proceeded to rush me off the phone and hung up on me with out find a solution. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

Anna is a miracle worker! So kind and knowledgeable; I’m waking out a new human being. I was so knotted up and my posture was crap, then after a deep tissue and hot stone treatment, I’m heading into the rest of my week feeling completely softened and cleansed. I highly recommend anyone with tension to call and schedule an appointment asap! Beautiful, clean space as well; so comforting and relaxing :)

This was my first time here and I can’t be any happier with my results, I got an Oxygen facial and my skin looks smoother. Ana is amazing, she is very knowledgeable and takes the time to give you advice on your skin care routine. I am definitely coming back!

I am finally getting around to my Unilocal reviews. I received a massage from Anna about 2 ½ months ago. I picked her because of the location and the reviews from Unilocal.
She was very nice on the phone when I made the appointment and in person. Her office was tiny, yet clean and quiet. There was a parking lot in the back but very hard to find a place.
She is qualified, and has good technique, she seems to know where all the knots and tightness is, which is important in being able to do her job.
The reason I am giving only 2 stars, is when I go to get a massage, I go to RELAX and be transported to a place of calmness and serenity, (well as much as possible in LA), and I wasn’t able to get that. She talks a lot. She kept talking the entire time. I didn’t want to be rude, so I kept answering her questions.
I am not sure if I will go back again, but I wanted to give my review.
1 review down, only 99 more to go…
UPDATE TO REVIEW: I received a personal reply from Anna regarding my review, and I have decided that I will NOT frequent this establishment again. Part of being a business owner is that you can use reviews to help and improve your business and make your customers happy. If you cannot handle what people say about their experience, you will never be a successful business owner. Good luck to you and I do hope you have success with your business.

I highly recommend cinema wellness to for your next facial needs. She is my first ever getting my facial. And she get mad at me for not parking in the back and pay for parking at the meter. And then she get mad at me for not putting sunblock. And I love her for it. She is great and I highly recommend her for your next facial needs. I feels she know what she doing and does it well.
I come out her place feeling a new face!

I purchased a Groupon for $ 129 which comes with a 50-​min. deep tissue massage with hot stones & aromatherapy and 50-​min. facial.
I had my facial first on a separate day since I had vertigo and was advised by Anna that I should not get the massage when I have Vertigo. I don’t do facials and this is my second time of having one. It was good and lasted about 50 minutes.
I made an appt. for 2:30 p.m., but came late at 3:00 p.m. Anna informed me that the male massage person did not want to take me since I was late. So, Anna did my massage for 30 minutes; 3 to 3:30 p.m. It was the best 30-​min. massage. I asked Anna what kind of massage did she do on me and she said it was Myofascia Trigger Point. My neck, back, and right sciatic felt normal after 30-​minutes. I wish I could have received a 50-​min. massage instead, but I think the next customer was already there at 3:30 p.m.
I told a few of my friends about the massage I had today, 6÷8÷15, and they will try it.
Today, July 28, 2015, I had my 2^nd massage with Anna. My appt. was @ 2:15 p.m. & she took me right away; no waiting. Anna gave me an excellent massage from head to toe and removed all the kinks I had from neck, shoulders, back, & right sciatic. She also worked on my buttocks, thighs, legs, & feet. Anna gave me her fullest attention while she was giving me a massage. I felt like a brand new person after an hour.
I am not one to go on Unilocal to give reviews, it’s just not me; however, I’ll make this one an exception as it is, with my own experience, deserving of a 5-​star review.
Thank you, Anna, for a wonderful experience with your Myofascia Trigger Point Massage.

I decided to try dermabrasion for the first time for my birthday and have my best friend try it with me. But, we were not sure where to begin and what would be right for us. We thought we would look at Groupon to see what is in the greater LA area, what’s the norm, and what’s popular.
Cinema Wellness caught my eye, seemed to have a reasonable price, and looked more holistic. But, I was not going to go for it that fast. I needed to get a better sense of what they were about and if it would be right for me and my best friend. That meant I had to call.
I spoke with Anna, told her this would be our first time, explained what we wanted, and asked some questions. She was nice, understanding, and receptive to our concerns. She seemed very knowledgeable and willing to make sure we knew what to expect and would be happy with the results. I knew at that moment that we had found the right place. But, just to be sure, we called a few other places. Unfortunately, we did not get the same feel. That confirmed what we already knew… Cinema Wellness is the place we should try.
When we arrived, we were were greeted with a warm welcome and a nice smile from Anna. She explained everything as she was doing it, while always making sure we understood and would be comfortable.
After our treatment, we were sent on our way with nice friendly hugs. It was a great experience from beginning to end!
We already scheduled our next visit.
If you haven’t been here, you need to come!

Make no mistake, this is an intense, semi-​painful massage. The space is small, but they make it intimate and cozy, and despite the «curtain» doors other reviews have mentioned, the rooms are otherwise completely enclosed. Candles were lit everywhere.
It was a little more barebones than other massages I’ve had — didn’t get to choose the scent of the oil, no robes, and not a great spot to place my clothes in the room — but this place is a hidden gem! I’ve had muscle soreness in my shoulder for over a year (it used to make a horrible clicking noise whenever I rolled my shoulder) and back pain — it’s all gone! I walked out feeling 5 pounds lighter and standing straighter. This wasn’t the most relaxing massage at times, my body was really worked over, but I could feel the knots being rubbed out and I’m still feeling the benefits days later: that annoying and painful clicking in my shoulder has not returned!
I got a $ 50 deal from spa week and don’t have any of the complaints the GroupOn customers have. Scheduling was done online, super easy, and I got text confirmations from Anna, who was very excited to have us and I experienced no snootiness at the discounted price I was using. Overall a lovely experience!
