Hugh Spa

Really enjoyed my massage I left feeling very relaxed can’t wait to return to try their facials and other services great prices!

Got a $ 18 for 2 package on Groupon.
We went there on a weekday morning, and there are limited number of parking space. So come really early to make sure you have parking space.
$ 9 for each person is pretty worth the price.
The rooms themselves are good in general, but because my mum’s skin is so dry, and she could not stay in the high temperature area for a long time, so we did not spent a long time there (about 3 hours), and I hope to stay longer.
However, the staff at the front desk could be more professional, cause we were first time there, and we know nothing. It would be better if she ask us are you the first time here, and how it works, etc.
Also, many things seem really dirty and not clean. Especially the robes and towels, and the shower room. Stains are on the robes and towels. I think it is better to bring and use your own towels. Room are pretty small, and hard to find a space, especially the rooms that require or better to lay down.

This was my very first time going to a Korea spa and Omg it was such a great groupon purchase! I will definitely be back again! My favorite part of my entire experience was the milky body scrub and massage! Worth every cent for every minute! My skin felts so soft and radiant afterwards! So moisturized and glowing! They even washed my hair! I looooved the cucumber facial! Such a relaxing and amazing experience! I’ll definitely be back soon!

I came here to relax with a friend on a Sunday morning. Usually we don’t get scrubs, but the deal was so good ($ 80 for a scrub, massage, and facial) that we just couldn’t resist! You also get a free egg if you check in on Unilocal.My only gripe is that there’s only one bathing tub, but it is what it is I guess

1^st time this weekend as a belated Mother’s Day gift from my daughter. I’d been to spas before but never like this one. Felt like Elizabeth Taylor in a scene from Cleopatra. OMG — this was the best day ever! What a wonderful experience … I was a little hesitant due to the full nakedness of everyone, but I was with my daughter so I got over it quickly enough.
First Stop: Showers.
Second Stop: Jade Steam Room. Sat here for a while (it felt so good) and then headed to the Himalayan Salt bath which just warmed me to the bone.
Third Stop: Himalayan Salt Room, Clay Room, Oxygen Room, & Ice room (twice because my daughter couldn’t take much heat). I would’ve stayed and enjoyed each room much longer than I did, but it was my daughter’s treat and she just HAD to try every room. We’d made appointments so our «try it out» time was limited.
Fourth Stop: Body Scrub and Milk MASSAGE, Facial and Scalp Massage ALL FOR $ 80.00. This was the best part (although it was a bit vigorous and intimidating … it reminded me of a scene in SILKWOOD). I was a bit embarrassed DURING the scrub when I saw how much black balls of dead skin was on the table — UGH! After, I rinsed in the shower, went back to the table for cucumber mask, oil massage, milk bath, and shampoo.
Post scrub: we made the mistake to going back into the salt bath … but only because my daughter felt too silky: eyeroll: We were told by one of the ladies to be sure to shower after, which we did. Over 24 hours later and I still can’t believe how soft & silky my skin AND hair is.
Pampering doesn’t even COVER the description! I will definitely be doing this again! I’m planning to go every 3 – 4 months. My only wish is that my husband could join and enjoy the same, but I totally get the whole co-​ed thing. I know there are several co-​ed places, but I’m kind of afraid I they may be disappointing. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Hugh Spa!

Another bomb body scrub ty my Korean sistas. Had a beautiful relaxing time all the rooms were on sweaty point. But once again i saw too many envelopes laying around so disrespectful. Just throw it away dont leave it there. But seriously dont get a scrub unless you can tip. These ladies scrub from 8:45 to damn near 10:00pm, stop playn. Ladies I know we are here to relax, but dont just leave your robes and towels stacked where ever actn like, they’ll clean it up. Then you’ll be all on Unilocal talkn bout, they messy. ladies clean yo mess! Luv you Hugh Spa

OMG! This was my first ever Korean spa experience EVER and I really enjoyed the scrub. All the rooms that I experienced were extremely relaxing, however the ice room was under maintenance when I went. The rooms were a little smaller, and occasionally it was challenging to find space in the rooms.
I would definitely come again!

I wish there was a 6^th star for this place.
Never disappoints!
I pay $ 80 and I get unlimited access to all 6 rooms, a milk body scrub, massage (45 min), and facial! Super worth the 80 bucks.
I don’t go to any other massage place now lol

My first Kspa experience was here. Heads up, this is a female only spa. The receptionist was super friendly. I got the scrub which is a must try according to the brochure. The sweet ahjummas scrubbed me for about 40 mins. Ive never felt so clean in my life. Afterwards, i checked out the 7 stations, which include a couple of hot rooms, ice room, and oxygen room. Each station has a different healing property for your body. Four hours later, I felt like a new person. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back again.
You’re missing out if you’ve never been to this spa.

I was a first timer at a K Spa so it’s hard to judge since this is my baseline. So I went prepared to wear my birthday suit!!! I flew solo since I could care less of what strangers think of me but dread the thought of my friends seeing me butt naked.lol.
The location was easy to find but the spa is in a run down strip mall but there was parking so no biggie, I didn’t want to judge a book by its cover. I checked in paid and got my key to my locker. The changing area is a little small but for a WOMAN Only Spa it’s enough space. Upon check in they gave me a robe and a towel to use.
First Stop: Showers… holly molly; you see all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, and it’s quite refreshing. Next to the showers they have this tiny little hot soaking tub with himalayan salt to help with aches, pains, blood pressure, eczema, herpes (EWWWW) and when I read that I was out of the soaking tub… I did not want to sit or touch anything in there and because of the soaking tub appearance I could not give this business a 5 star rating. The soaking tub needs to be bigger, cleaner, brighter, and improved.
Second Stop: Jade Steam Room, I used my towel to sit on it in this room and this room was great, your skin really softens up and opens up. Then the sweat starts to drip down all around. After about 15 minutes I needed a break and rinsed off right before heading to my scrub & massage.
Third Stop: Body Scrub and Milk MASSAGE, Facial and Scalp Massage ALL FOR $ 80.00. This experience was what my heart desired. I didn’t know what I was missing so for this alone everyone should come to a K-​Spa! These women are tough, but soft and thorough! When it was time to flip I swear there were little black skin balls that had been scrapped off my body, after they are done exfoliating they massage a milk moisturizer into my skin and I was you left feeling like a NEW woman!
4^th, 5^th, 6^th Stops were pretty much the same: Magnet Room, hot relaxing and 20 minutes later you feel like a roasted chicken. Himalayan Salt Room, hot, relaxing, and 20 minutes later you feel relief and ready for food, water, ice, and more. Clay Room, hot, relaxing, hard to not make noise, those clay coco puffs are noisy!
Seventh Stop: Ice Room, wow, I never knew that I would enjoy going from one extreme to the other… but it really does feel great!
Thank you Hugh Spa! Now I’m ready to try other K spas. I get it now, I feel like I’ve found something really special with this cultural experience. PS my skin stayed soft for about 2 weeks!!!

Went in on a Friday evening with 3 other friends. Parking wasnt too bad, it wasnt until after we searched and waited in the lot where all the cars became free .
Anyways, walked in to a super warm and friendly welcome from Emma! She was patient and explained everything to us and gave us recommendations. I wanted 22 years of filth scrubbed off my body so i got that and the milky massage.
Was a little body shy at first but you know what? NO JUDGEMENT ZONE. Own that body haha. Showered, went to the steam room, then the Himalayan tub until my number was called for the scrubb. I had this small korean grandma like figure, her tip envelope said kim. She was so cute and sweet and whenever i opened my eyes i saw the disgusting skin and filth get scrubbed from my body. After the massage, i rinsed off and I felt like a newborn child haha.
There are a total of 7 rooms so go explore! I personally suck at tolerating heat so i liked the ice room haha. WILL BE BACK SOON! Get the free egg, use the groupon, theyre really generous with everything and theres a coupon book in the front.

I love this place, especially the body scrub. Leave this place with silky smooth skin.
Once you check in and select what services you want, you are handed a towel, robe, and locker key. I got the massage and scrub package which costs $ 80. The entrance fee is waived if you buy services to talking $ 80 or more I believe.
Then take off your shoes and enter the spa section. First thing you have to do is take a shower to use anything over there, whether it’s the sauna or Himalayan salt room or whatever — you must shower. The showers are not private, no stalls. Everyone is completely nude. So if you are not comfortable with that, this is not the place for you. No swimsuits or underwear allowed in the jade steam room. After you shower you can put on the robe and go to the rooms they have there such as the Himalayan Salt room (my favorite). If you have packages, they will usually ask you to wait in the lounge or steam room. They will call out your number.
The scrub is amazing, you will have smooth skin that will make babies jealous. It’s in a room with about 4 tables or so. People lay on the tables naked and are scrubbed clean from neck to toes by women in their underwear. Most of the time tho a tiny cloth would cover my hoo-​ha. My package included a massage and hair wash. It felt great, but I usually prefer much firmer massages, not so oily, so I’d opt out of that next time and just get the scrub.
One minor problem here is the kitchen area, usually it’s empty and you have to do a little searching to find someone. The front desk is helpful and will bring someone there within a few minutes.
Free Himalayan salt egg with check in!

I’ve been here on two occasions:
1) Groupon deal for entrance into the spa — access to the different rooms for $ 20
2) Milky Body Scrub and Massage $ 80 (includes entrance fee as well)
I absolutely LOVE the Milky Body Scrub and Massage. For 75 minutes, you get a combination of exfoliation scrub, deep body massage, fresh cucumber facial mask, and a hair treatment.
You know that episode of Friends when Phoebe was giving Monica a massage and it felt so good that Monica was moaning like crazy? Well, I felt exactly what Monica was feeling but I didn’t moan out loud because that would just be awkward, especially in a big room filled with other customers and workers.
The exfoliation DOES hurt but you feel so clean and smooth afterwards. Let me warn you though that you’ll have to be COMPLETELY NAKED in front of people. If you’re uncomfortable with this idea, then stop reading this review and try a different spa. That said, I personally think it’s worth the time and money to treat yourself to wonderful this experience at least once a year. if not more. No shame in being naked in front of strangers anyways. Also, when the worker gives you a white envelop at the end of the session, that’s for you put tip and turn it into the front desk when you leave.
Notes:
— Don’t forget to check into Unilocal for a free salted egg (it’s good!)
— They provide shampoo, body wash, towels, shower robe, and hair dryers.
— Shower area are communal.
— There’s a small restaurant inside the spa that serves Korean food.

First of all this is a Korean spa, so you must be okay with the idea of being naked in certain areas around strangers. This spa is a woman’s only one as well.
My friend and I came here yesterday and we had an appointment at 3. We got there a bit early and they told us that they would call us in earlier for our appointment instead of waiting. We both got the milky body scrub & massage package and since we got this package our entrance fee was waived. Any services that you get that is over $ 80, they will waive the fee of $ 20, but if you get a service for less than $ 80, they will charge you $ 10 for the entrance fee.
The receptionist was friendly and she would like to end her sentences in a singing voice, which I thought was cute since she seem very happy. We check in and they gave us a robe, towels, and key with number for a locker to put our stuff away. The key number is also used to call you for your services and if you purchase any food. The cashier explained to us to go to room #1 (step 1) first to shower and then we can go to the Jade Steam Sauna (step 2) while we wait for our number to be called.
We walk to the entrance to the right and we were told to take off our shoes before entering the door. You have to find your locker, get naked and put on your robe. After this, you head to room #1, which is the shower/​jade steam sauna room. You will need to wash off first before getting your service or using the other rooms. This is the only area that you need to be NAKED. By the time we were done washing off, our number was called for our services.
So, our package included the scrub, deep tissue massage, facial with fresh cucumber mask, hair wash and milky body massage. The scrub may hurt a bit if it’s your first time, but it’s definitely worth it to take off all your dead skin cells. They scrub every part of your body and you will come out feeling baby soft after. There are other people in the room getting the scrub as well, but no one is paying attention. The massage, facial, and hair wash was relaxing and I liked how they ended it with a warm milk massage at the end of the service. After your done, they give you an envelope so you can tip your lady.
After we were done with our service, we went to try the other rooms in the order that they have set up:
Step 3: Charcoal Mud Clay Room (for detox)
Step 4: Himalayan Salt Room (for getting minerals)
Step 5: Near Infrared Magnet Room (for re-​balancing your body)
In Between: Ice Room (for skin tighten) or Oxygen Room (for relaxing & clean air)
So after each step, we would go in the ice room or oxygen room after. Also, remember to hydrate because the rooms that are heated does get to you. Sometimes when I left to fast, I got light-​headed so I drank more water.
If you get hungry, they do serve food here. My friend and I shared the bibimap and it was okay. Also, if you check in, they give you a Himalayan salt egg.

My friend treated me to a day at this spa. My experience was amazing! I thought I was going to be shy at first to be nude, but heck no. I got comfortable in my skin immediately. Around the entire facility all women wear robes except for the shower room and sauna. There were at least 5 rooms we enjoyed which included an oxygen room (room temp), clay room (hot), cold room, Himalayan salt room (hot)… And then finally … A BODY SCRUB! These women who do the scrubs may be small but are mighty!
Definitely walked away feeling light and cleaner than ever.

Review for: First-​timer. Milk Massage + Scrub. Other spa rooms. Solo visitor.
Never been to a Korean day spa, or any type of spa for that matter, so I researched Korean day spas to see what places had good reviews, good services and decent prices. Found this place through their Groupon deal. I was looking for the whole shebang; massage + scrub + other spa services, so I purchased the Groupon (two 1-​day passes for $ 25 — $ 40 value) which would buy me entry to the spa, and called in the same day (Saturday) to see book an appointment for the milk massage + scrub and they had availability for later that afternoon. Booked it for a day of relaxation to myself.
Drove up to the plaza and parked in their lot for free (entrance off of Vermont). The plaza looks a little run-​down and not where you would imagine a spa to be. I made sure to arrive over an hour before my appointment so I could take advantage of the other services that came with purchasing an entry before enjoying my massage. I continued upstairs to the entrance and I was greeted by their front desk person who was super friendly, joyful and attentive. Told her I had an appointment for a bit later for the milk massage + scrub. Told her I had a Groupon, but turns out any massage packages $ 80+ get free entry anyway. Wish I knew this but oh well! I can go back and enjoy the the spa rooms another day. She gave me directions on what to do since it was my first time. Then she gave me the key to my locker, my robe and some towels.
I was off into the magical Korean day spa. Took off my shoes before entering and continued further in to the large lockers. Got butt-​naked and put on my robe and went to the showers to rinse off as directed. Then I tried going in the order that they suggested but I couldn’t find Step 2, the sauna until later. So I wandered around trying not to look like a first-​timer and just walked into each room in a random order.
An hour before my appointment, the nice front desk lady found me and asked if I wanted to move my appointment up since they had more availability. I sat in the common areas to make sure I didn’t miss my number being called.
Best rooms were the Jade Steam Sauna, Charcoal Mud Clay Room and the Himalayan Salt Room (no particular order).
Worst rooms for me were the Oxygen Room, which looks like a nap room with mats and pillows (I heard a girl saying she loved it because she had asthma but I don’t and it was like paying for air). Other worst room was the Infrared Magnet Room, which made me feel like a rotisserie chicken.
PROS:
Massage and scrub down were SOOOOO GOOD! After my scrub, I could see my dead skin scraped off. Why have I not done this before. I recommend EVERYBODY to do the scrub for your own health! Didn’t hurt at all. Tickled a bit a some points. I didn’t mind the little old Korean ladies in black bikinis. HA! My lady was FANTASTIC and gentle! I was so calm and peaceful afterwards — wished that feeling lasted forever!
Free cold water and coffee.
CONS:
Sanitation was slightly an issue to me. They had a jacuzzi tub in their sauna that was supposed to be filled with pink water from some far-​away lands that have healing properties, but the entire time I was thinking about the other naked women who have sat in the tub, who could have nasty diseases. Bad decision to sit in the tub on my end.
Place looks a little run-​down. Kind of matches the exterior. If you are looking for top-​of-​the-​line, luxury, this isn’t your place. Hugh spa has the basics at decent prices. Gets the job done.
The rooms don’t completely seal and they are definitely not sound proof. While I’m trying to woosa, meditate, I can hear girls laughing outside. Sucks.

Cheap! Got the groupon it was $ 10 per person for the spa entrance.
Place is not the most modern but definitely worth for the price. They have several rooms like salt, coal, ice, infrared, and jacuzzi. I tried almost all of it but I fell asleep inside their oxygen room LOL I think I was sleeping for a good 1 hour.
Then when I woke up my friends were hungry so we left. But it was a relaxing experience, there was a lot of people so can get cramped in a room. Jacuzzi was always full and I was grossed out by how many people was going in and out. They gave u a robe and one towel. They have a café inside where they make Korean food.

All women, all naked spa, however, most ladies are only naked in the shower room, the rest of the place required a robe.
Really enjoyed my day here at Hugh Spa. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating for the body and mind. I especially enjoyed the clay room. The clay balls sustained the perfect temperature that hugged you from any corner. I felt like a polar bear hibernating in the caves and did not want to come out. I liked the salt room as well, a tid bit hotter in temperature than the clay room. Then, you can jump into the ice room to cool yourself down, tightening the skin while your at it. They provide complimentary coffee, hot tea, and ice water while you are in there. There are also food for purchase in the little kitchen area.

Hugh Spa is a Ladies’ only K-​Spa. Those of you arn’t aware of Kspa its where you walk around naked for the most part and rest in these various of different hot rooms.
My gfs and I wanted to get a nice scrub and Hugh had a groupon for $ 25 for 2 entry fee! A 30 minute scrub is $ 30 and the ladies scrub your ENTIRE bodies. yes, your entire naked body, rub you with some milk oil and lightly wash your hair. Sounds a bit uncomfortable but you will love it at the very end!
You wash your bodies off first and enjoy the hot tubs, walk around to the rooms to sweat out the toxins and end it off in the ice room for a nice cool down.
I would say Hugh spa is incredibly small and lack a lot of amenites that other bigger kspa have like razors and toothbrushes. But if you just want a scrub and not have to run into too many people this place might be the perfect spot.

When it comes to Korean Spas, they all have some amazing perks and disadvantages at the same time. But none are the perfect ideal Spa. So it really depends on what you are looking for and which one meets those needs. For example, things I like about Hugh Spa:
1) It has a Charcoal Mud Clay room where you can lay in little coffin like compartments filled with tiny little clay balls. It’s like a ballpit for adults. I haven’t been to any other Spa in LA that has a room like this one.
2) It has an ice room (which again, I haven’t been to any other Spa in LA that has an ice room).
3) The days and times I have gone, it hasn’t been too crowded.
4) Parking in the lot is fairly easy.
5) There are a lot of spaces to just «hang out» like the «oxygen room» which is really just an empty room that is open and no different than any other room. There are couches and places to sit everywhere.
6) It’s quite clean.
7) They have these cool little wooden blocks to rest your head and neck when you are in the Himalayan Salt room and the Infrared Magnet room.
Some things that are lacking:
1) it’s so small that if it were to get just a little bit crowded, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed.
2) There is no «Sauna» the closest thing to a sauna is the Infrared Magnet room.
3) In order to be able to use the Detox Herb Steam room, you have to pay more money and pay for packages.
4) There is no hairdryer and the amenities for post shower comfort are lacking (when compared to other Korean Spas in the area).
5) The Himalayan Salt bath is a tiny little pool (the size of a small jacuzzi) and it fits about 3 people. There are no other pools at Hugh Spa, no Hydropools or jacuzzis or cold water pools or anything except the tiny little himalayan salt bath.
6) The other women who come here don’t always take a shower before going into the rooms, or the himalayan salt bath, so it’s kinda gross.
7) The restaurant at Hugh Spa feels like an afterthought, and while everything is very expensive, there is no one there full time, only a tiny plastic table that seats 6 people max.
