SpaLyfe

Terrible experience! It took me a month to get an appointment and then the morning of Pamela the service provider called me last minute to move the appointment to later in the day and then forgot and wasn’t going to even show up. Very unprofessional and unimpressive business!

I went to get a massage because my sister gave me the groupon special and thought it would be good since the reviews were so good, for the most part.
I got there. It was hard to find because she is no longer in studio 3 and signs a minimal from the outside.
I have to say that this is the most unusual professional massage I have ever received. I think if I laid on the floor of my room, put some Christian music on in the background, and had my husband rub my back in the same circular motion on my whole back, I could have saved my sister some money.
First of all, because the space is just big enough for a massage table and some cabinets, I thought that perhaps the lack of professionalism in their display might reflect on the cleanliness so I kept my underclothing on. I suggest you do the same.
The pics that they have on here is of the whole floor. Not the unit the Spalyfe occupies.
I think it’s best to spend a bit more and look elsewhere. Not professional. Not clean. Not relaxing. And HORRIBLE massage!!!

I will start by saying this is not the right place for you if you are looking for a gentle, quiet, relaxing, take a nap massage. But if you are looking to get tight muscle worked, she is your girl.

I had the Bio Elements facial which I had purchased on Groupon. It was wonderful. Pam also does my massages. She gives a deep tissue massage for people like myself who hold stress in their shoulders and upper back. If you like the soft Swedish style I am sure she can accommodate you. Pam puts her heart into work and it shows.

Don’t bother with this place. I had an appointment and she double booked, didn’t even apologize. When I said that I would just get my money back from Groupon, she just said «fine.» Clearly doesn’t care much about her business. There are much better massage therapists in this area that won’t waste your time.

This was my first time receiving a facial and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Pamela was very knowledgeable and understanding of my skin concerns. She took time to review the procedure, she talked me through every step and she also checked on me the next day to see how my skin was doing. I would definitely return again. My facial was a wonderful treat!

Too rough and not very relaxing. She kept playing Christian music loudly and at times sang the songs. I cut my head on her dresser because the lights were dark and she didn’t say anything about the cut when I left; came home and saw a big gash on my forehead. The massage was too intense, even when I said that it hurt at times she told me that it would feel better the next day. She was really nice but I’m not sure that her skill is of good quality.

Pamela is a wonderful masseuse and esthetician! Her technique is spot on and I really appreciated how the stress of my week melted away instantly. She found a tight spot on the left side of my upper back that I wasn’t even aware of. A few hours after I left the salon I realized that the slight headache I’d had earlier in the morning had completely disappeared. Overall, I really appreciate that Pamela takes a holistic approach to her practice. She took the time to teach me about the different elements to the custom blend of exfoliant, moisturizer, and toner that she created for my facial. I also learned a little bit about how to read and adjust my skin care at home to counter its various changes, depending on the weather and other stressors. I was especially impressed by the way my skin felt afterward. I am really looking forward to my next visit when I will try the full hydra facial. Also, Pamela’s salon space is in a fantastic location with lots of new businesses right by, so you can also go to yoga or stop by Sur La Table for a cooking class after your massage. I can’t wait to go back! — Jessica

Pamela is an amazing, gifted masseuse! She is a very positive person and so easy to talk to. She made a point to make sure I was relaxed and asked multiple times if I was comfortable with pressure, adjusting it each time to what I wanted. Because I have sensitive skin, Pamela made sure to talk me through what she was going to be using during the massage. She also plays great music! I left the massage feeling so relaxed and refreshed — I will definitely be back!

I had the most amazing massage and facial with Pamela. She is very skilled, professional and intuitively gifted. Not only did she help soothe my back when I threw it out and gave me one of my best facials ever, she also gave me some spiritual advice that has truly changed the way I live my life. If she chooses to give you some advice I highly recommend you listen! Definitely 5 stars. You are a beautiful person Pamela, inside and out! Thank you for everything!

I made an appointment at SpaLyfe after buying the groupon, not really knowing what to expect. Although there were parts of the massage that were really wonderful, there were a quite a few parts that were painful and unpleasant (and yes, I was vocal about my discomfort). SpaLyfe may be better suited for individuals looking for an intense/​athletic massage rather than individuals expecting a relaxing peaceful experience. I’ve had massages at many high-​end spas, as well as from physical therapists, and none of these were exactly painful.

Pamela is an amazing masseuse! She came to my house when I was pregnant with my daughter and it has to be one of the best massages I’ve ever received. Pamela is a true professional. She arrived on time, set up quickly and it was a great experience. I had never had anyone come to my house to give me a massage, but it was great. I like a deep massage and she definitely checks in periodically to see how you’re feeling during the message.
I was sorry to see Pamela leave Los Angeles but am happy she is thriving in another city.
Her prices are competitive and she offers great packages! I highly recommend her!

This woman just moved from LA and we are so lucky to get her. I’ve had massages for the last 10+ years and I’m very picky. I don’t like to waste my time and money on wimpy massages. I’m an athlete with tough muscles that require strong hands and I’ve had the best massage of my life from this talented woman. She’s very engaged, caring and professional with excellent massage technique. At the same time I can Zen out and relax during this session. I highly recommend her. She uses warm stones and finds those knots and tight joints and will work those calf muscles until they release. Very caring and has a deep interest in her work!

I have had massages all over the world, and this was the best ever. I was full of stress induced knots. Pamela not only worked out the stress, she did it in a great environment (music, scent, lighting) that relaxed me. I left feeling fabulous and looking forward to the next one (next week!).

Pamela was referred to me by the doctors at Cedar Sinai while I was there on a 2 month bed rest with my second child. They said she was the best masseuse they had ever encountered in the hospital. They were correct and I continued to use her for another 5 years until she left LA. I have had massages regularly over the last 20 years and Pamela is the BEST! She is so intuitive and really can feel what is happening with your body. I cannot recommend her more highly. She is an amazing masseuse and an incredible lady. I miss her!!!

Pamela has a real gift, and I so look forward to my sessions with her. She is extremely skilled at reading the tension in your body, and relaxing and releasing it. She pays deep attention to my body’s signals and I am always amazed how she finds the real place my energy is not flowing which is often different from the place that hurts. She is the best! I have not been to a spa since I found Pamela. Professional, gifted, and just a lovely warm person. A gem!

Pamela has been working with my family for the past few years and there is no one better. Her incredible knowledge and human connection are wonderfully healing. She is professional, fun, caring and sincere. From sports injuries to pre/​post natal, Pamela has been right there taking care of us! Look no further for an amazing massage therapist!

Pamela is the best massage therapist I have ever had. She is great for pre and post natal. My husband and I have had her work with us for years. I feel she is a healer — not just making you feel good for the moment, but working on actually getting solutions to your deep leftover tensions that need healing. No massage is the same as the next — she’s really trying to address you on that day in that particular collection of tensions. She is so professional and disarming I also had her massage my mother when she was in town and that is no small feat to find someone she’d be comfortable. In short, Pamela is a gem. Run don’t walk to make an appt.

I’ve known Pamela for a over 5 years and she has been massaging me on and off during that time. She is very good at what she does. I like deep tissue and she is very good at that. I highly recommend her.

Pamela is the best! She cares about her clients and is so talented. She gives a great deep tissue but can do whatever is needed. She is my fav masseuse ever, and I love my massages!
