In Short – Nicknamed "Golden Hands," this inviting spa located just minutes from the Grove offers luxe beauty treatments at affordable prices. Down-to-earth owner Miri emphasizes professionalism and warmth, welcoming customers into the spa the way she would into her home. Facial ingredients are freshly blended for each customized treatment and include goodies like fresh fruits, vegetables, national proteins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids. Choose from options like the "enzymic," an anti-aging intensive, or get a quick fix with the 25-minute "pick-me (or you)-up" mask. Inventive body…

AMAZING FACIALS

by Myriam1

My husband got me a gift certificate here for my birthday. I got a facial, a massage, and some waxing done. It was simply unbelievable. I pretty much sampled all of their services and it was one of the best experiences I have had at a spa. Everyone was friendly. I took the recommendations from my facial and bought the products. My skin has never been better. I can not wait to go back. I have been to many other spas and this one was by far the best. Professional and very friendly!

  • Pros: Excellent facials, massage and waxing
  • Cons: None

Highly Recommended Spa!

by Boredx2

Ahhhhhh.... what a lovely experience!

I received, and thoroughly enjoyed, a facial and massage. All of the treatments were so relaxing and my skin looked gorgeous afterwards. Everything about this spa was "just right" and I floated right out the door (after booking another appointment, of course!).

Best facial EVER!

by hyris

I was recommended to come in, my complexion needed help! I just moved to LA a little while back and I was lost, not knowing who to turn to. I had some "bad" facials in the past and truthfully, I was concerned.

Right upon my arrival to Miri's, I felt at ease, it is really a pretty down to earth place. They were busy, but I felt I could trust the quality of work that I was there to get.

I must say, I LOVED MY FACIAL!!

My skin is in good hands. I am recommending whoever needs a facial, go to see Miri!

  • Pros: Best facial! Recommended highly!
  • Cons: None

really enjoyed a great facial and waxing!

by veronica365

Thanks for taking care of my skin and shaping my brows so beautifully!

You skillfully took care of all the issues that I brought up, and I was so nervous because I was just a few days prior to a photo shoot!

You were right! Just finished the photo shoot, and my skin looks great, and my eyebrows....the compliments! Right on!

I'll be back!

  • Pros: Fantastic! and such a great price! Wow! unbeatable!
