Dtox Day Spa

Best Spa in Town!

by mnkuzel at Citysearch

I've been a regular of Dtox Day Spa since they opened a couple of years ago in Atwater Village. Before I go on, I should point out that it's VERY addictive to have such a top-notch facility so close to home.

From the moment you enter into this serene environment (not like the mass production day spas ala Burke Williams, et al) you are greeted by a friendly and personable receptionist immediately who knows your name and kindly sends you on your way, locker key in hand.

The facility is quiet, clean, and cooled/warmed (depending on the season) at just the right temperature. I enjoy both the private men's quiet area and the common quiet area where I can either relax while listening to the soothing waterwall or read a magazine enjoying my fresh cucumber and lemon water nibbling on the fresh fruits and nuts.

Oh yeah, the services. I generally book my massages with Mo, however in some cases I go with Julian. Either way, it's a homerun! I just had the pleasure of an 80 minute custom massage with Mo and it was fabulous!!! He hit all the areas that needed work AND incorporated a facial massage which included the customary scalp massage with a very sensitive and spot on EYE MASSAGE. I've never had this before and it is out of this world.

And speaking of facials, I also indulged in A Micro O2 or something like that. Basically, it's a micro-dermabrasion oxgen facial and boy does it plump the face and keep me looking fresh!!!

Thank you to Lila as she's the esthetician of skin gods! Not only is her spa technique as professional as can be, but her personalized service and charm is so relaxing while she works her magic.

Dtox is staffed with the best of the best and they are all SO kind, friendly, and appreciative of my business.

I encourage everyone to give it a try. HOWEVER, I warn you. You will become a Dtox Day Spa addict no matter what service you indulge yourself in!

Facials by Lila

by AnnaC777 at Citysearch

I have started going to dtox on a monthly basis and my skin has never looked better. The first thing people see is your face --- having great skin is money very well spent. And "me time" well deserved.

• Pros: She made me feel totally comfortable and look gorgeous.

Robert is amazing!

by cookiecat at Citysearch

I went to Dtox after a really stressful week and was in need of a little pampering. I decided to get the 80 Minute Hot Stone massage after hearing about it in some other reviews. I saw Robert and WOW, I am hooked! He was super attentive, kind, and worked out every single knot I had. Amazing. Ask for Robert- you won't regret it!

Excellent Spa for Facials

by nyc_girl at Citysearch

I spent a lot of time researching top spas in LA since moving here from NYC last year and had very high standards. I came in for a microderm facial with Lila and had perhaps the best results from a facial I have ever had (and that's saying something, b/c I frequented top spas for years in NY). She was incredibly warm and very knowledgeable about products, my skin and the advice she gave. Even more impressive was the fact she even recommended products and supplements not sold at the salon - the true test of a genuine and educated esthetician. Not only that, her recommendations were spot on - my skin improved significantly after using the products she recommended.

The facial itself was pretty standard (and a bit pricey), but she pushed my skin a bit w/ the microderm portion and the results were better than I've had. I felt she truly knew what my skin could and could not handle. The only thing that surprised me is that the microderm came after the facial/cleansing portion - it is usually done first in my experience to maximize results so the treatments on the skin are not ground off by microderm process. In any event, my skin looked better than it has in months and as I mentioned, the products she recommended made an ever bigger difference on my skin. She herself commented on the improvement the second time I went back for another facial - the anti-oxidants made a noticeable improvement. I will be back again!

• Pros: Skilled estheticians, friendly & knowledgeable front desk
• Cons: High prices, Need more than 1 bathroom in Locker Room

FABULOUS "GIRLS DAY OUT"

by DebP at Citysearch

FABULOUS "GIRL'S DAY OUT" at Dtox Day Spa. After having such a great day at the spa, I felt compelled to write a review . We had a bachelorette party scheduled last Saturday for my sister. The director of the spa, Kat Podmolik, helped arranged the party and it was pleasant from start to finish. She was very attentive to our group's every needs. Our group booked two treatments (facial and massage) and I also asked if we could have lunch brought in, as well as a private champagne toast for the bride-to-be. Every request was accommodated flawlessly. Kat also checked in with us throughout the day to make sure everything was okay and up to our expectations. Every staff member was friendly and smiling! As far as the spa facility, I loved the decor and ambiance. The lounge was relaxing with the sound of waterfalls and they provided a nice supply of water (flavored with cucumber or lemon), fresh fruit and chocolate brownies (yummy!). YES....I said brownies. I loved the steam room which smelled of eucalyptus. The entire facility was clean and had lots of nice amenities. The massage was over-the-top fabulous with hot stones and I especially liked the warm towel wrap to my feet at the end --- (oooh, so soothing). They have a couples massage room, so for fun my girlfriend and I had a massage together (we giggled). The facial was great and they provided a quick neck massage with it (or you could choose a hand massage). All the girls in our party raved about the treatments. We all agreed it was one of the best spa days ever! We all plan on coming back to the facility and we're telling all our friends.

• Pros: Favorite Spa in L.A.
• Cons: I live in Florida, so can't visit as often as I'd like

The best spa and service in Los Angeles

by wendymendoza at Citysearch

I went to Dtox for the very first time today (also my first time getting a massage.) I was a little nervous at first since I did not know what to expect and also because I was going by myself. As soon as I walked into Dtox I felt welcomed. Everyone was extremely nice. Every room was very clean, relaxing and smelled delicious. My experience at Dtox was beyond what I imagined. Anita was great I would definitely recommend her to everyone. I am now thinking of at least once a month going to Dtox.

• Pros: great service finally people that treat you like people not customers

Detox day spa, a very relaxing place

by tebasi at Citysearch

I've just been to that place today(02/24/09), what can I tell you, I enjoy it a lot. First of all, Carie the receptionist is very nice and friendly.

As for th facial I got, Asia did an excellent work. My skin hasn't been that beautiful for a long time.

Also, I love the place for its very relaxing and quiet Atrium where you can enjoy a delicious cup of white tea( vanilla flavor was my choice) and some grapes with few almonds.

A pleasure.

To finish, I want to add that the steam room with eucalyptus is a must.

I' ll come back, for sure.

Thank you!!!!

• Pros: ambience
