Body Wrap LA

Not a fan… for some reason I thought it would be more like a spa treatment which is why I booked my appt… It’s Definitely not! Here’s how it was — One small room with curtains sectioned off… You lay on the bed which smells very strongly of eucalyptus which I usually like the smell of, but this smell was overbearing. They then wrap you up like a burrito in this heating padded sleeping bag and give you headphones and a remote & try to make it more peaceful by letting you watch movies. My bed was still wet from the prior person (ewwww!!!) As I was lying there I was burning up. It was the longest time of my life. I couldn’t wait to get up. After it was done they came over and took off my headphones and unwrapped me and I went into the bathroom and I was shaking, bright red and in a full sweat… I felt horrible… I felt very weak and dizzy… I almost fainted. I had to sit down for 5 minutes just to see straight even though I wanted to leave so bad. Worst experience ever! Do yourself a favor and just go for a run or go to the gym or a steam room… This type of experience seems like it’s for fat lazy people who don’t want to move their body to lose weight but instead to lay in a sweaty bed and die of heat exhaustion. No thx!!!

best place ever!!! wake up ladies detox and burning fat while watching netflix is beyond. i don’t know what i would do without this freakin place thank you katie, shannon, rachel and brazil for dealing with my diva needs lol;)
p. s. girls complaining about the sweat that you leave behind. the girls that clean up after you should be thankful for! the upkeep in the wrap rooms are imperfectly perfect, yet all our toxins are left behind and wiped away at the end of the day.;)))) totally appreciate every inch of it!!! xoxooxooxo
MEGHAN

This is the most uncleanly and unsanitary experience I have ever had. I refered a friend once and she came back with the same opinion. The blankets they use are filled with old sweat from people and not cleaned well. The headphones, towels and bathroom changing areas are equally as bad. Another friend got a skin infection. Last week I walked out I couldn’t finish the treatment. I would not recommend this to anyone. I now go to Firm Body Evolution much better experience.

DO NOT spend your money at this business! I originally bought a groupon a few years ago and used them all at the original Beverly Hills location which was at an aesthetician clinic and very nice and clean. I bought an additional 10 through the business for at least $ 300 thinking that I would be going to the same place. No one told me when I bought them that the package expires and there was no fine print to read! First of all no one ever picked up the phone or returned messages there so I couldn’t even get through to book. To add insult to injury shortly after I bought the package they closed that location and I couldn’t book any more appointments.
After about three or four months they opened another location in west hollywood, however, that place was soooo incredibly gross and dirty! The rooms were dirty looking, separated by bedsheets, and I felt like I was in some refugee camp being tortured with heat and sweaty mildew aromatherapy. I tried 2 appointments and couldn’t tolerate it as I would not be booking any more so I asked for some sort of compromise of a return of some funds and they wouldn’t budge. So that was $ 300 down the tubes.

Great place ! Very clean I will definitely be coming back. Wrap made me feel amazing and rejuvenated
Oh and Shannon was great !

LOVE !!! So far I have done two weeks of wraps and three ultra sonic lipo sessions and am very pleased with my results. Well worth every cent. My body started changing after just two sessions. The wraps leave me feeling great and removed my sugar cravings. I drink a lot more water now as a result. This was the perfect reboot to get me back on track with a heathy lifestyle.
The shop is zen and staff is charming young ladies who I am always happy to see.
Parking is always easy & close by– meters for a few bucks.
Highly recommend!!!

I love Body Wrap L.A. I booked a new client package, 2 weeks unlimited at $ 87. I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the reviews but when I called the woman on the phone was so nice and friendly, she took the card payment right then. The online booking system made it real easy for me to coordinate it with my schedule. I could book in advance, or the same day. Parking was always easy to find at a meter. The woman working there whenever I went was always so nice and attentive. I always felt welcome and relaxed just walking in. And then for 50 minutes you can take a nap or watch the television they have set up with Netflix and similar subscriptions. It’s always clean when I walk in there and I can see them cleaning the beds straight afterwards. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I originally thought during a body wrap you were supposed to wrap tight material around certain areas you wanted to sweat out. And when I went here, they just have heated sauna bags you get in and close yourself up with. I still sweat a lot and it was a very relaxing experience. It’s great for detoxing.

OMG! The bathroom was extremely dirty. I mean seriously gross! A ring around the toilet that seemed it had not been cleaned in months! Then, they put me in a wrap that had just been used… but instead of letting it cool off, like most places, that leave the wrap open, so it cools off before the next person comes in… and then they disinfect it. This one was super hot, and super wet! Someone had just stepped out, why did they not put me in a dry one? Anyway, hot and wet is NOT a good mix for health! That’s where viruses and bacteria thrive! The wet part touched my skin and I mentioned it to the nice lady there, that it was wet! She said don’t worry, we disinfect them. But by the condition the bathroom was in, which was horrible, I doubt that she disinfected the wrap carefully. I really felt grossed out. Luckily this was my third and final wrap here. Soon afterwards, I broke into a rash. I switched to a different place for my wraps.
I didn’t mind that they didn’t answer the phone so much, but yeah, I did have to call several times to book my wrap. They did pick up the ball afterwards. I went to pick something up after a couple weeks, and they cleaned the bathroom noticeably. But the first impression was left in my mind, and I can not risk my health…
I would try other places, because for this place, the appearance of how the wrap looks, is far more important than sanitizing it properly. That is unfortunate.
I do believe in infra-​red wraps in general, and have gotten great results! I hope this helps.

Body Wrap L.A. was one of those places I dreaded like the gym, but felt wonderful after I left. There’s just something about knowing you’re going to sweat your brains out in a sack of vinyl at 140 degrees for 60 minutes that sounds a little intimidating. Regardless, I was aware of the great health and beauty benefits of using infrared therapy as a detox, so I took advantage of the online promotion offered by the Body Wrap L.A. website for 2 weeks of unlimited body wraps.
Firstly, you have the option of sweating through your own clothes (which I tried on the first day) or purchasing a $ 25 reusable sauna suit (which I preferred to wear for the rest of my sessions). There are two changing stations and a bathroom available to prepare for your session. Small cups of water are offered before, during and after your session, but I suggest bringing a bottle of your own water too.
Considering that the place is a bit like a sauna, the employees are very diligent in keeping the place wiped clean and sanitized. Overall, the staff is very efficient and polite. My only note is that when the employees spray down the beds, the smell of the cleaner is quite strong, especially when you’re still weathering through a session in the next bed. However, you get to watch Apple TV, read, or use your phone for an hour while your body sweats out 1000 calories, which is pretty sweet.
I was always apprehensive about finding a parking spot on this busy street since most of my appointments were scheduled during rush hour. Oddly enough, I always managed to find metered parking nearby. The receptionist also let me know about valet parking down the street for a couple of bucks.
All in all, my experience at Body Wrap L.A. was a positive one. Scheduling my appointments was an easy process over the phone after I contacted them via email. I went for 10 days and my skin felt so much smoother and firmer afterwards. This detox is a great addition to an exercise regiment and makes you feel absolutely refreshed afterwards.

I bought 5 sessions with body wrap la through groupon in December 2013 for $ 85. I, of course, procrastinated until May 2014 to redeem it. Trying to get this place on the phone is impossible. There’s a recording but no voicemail, so I ended up emailing them to make an appointment. This was pretty discouraging but the staff called me back within a few hours and I was able to book with them.
Parking can be a bother, depending on what time you go. Lots of meters on the streets but it’s always a gamble. Max is $ 3 for 2 hrs, kinda pricey.
If you’ve ever had these sort of wraps, you know the drill– change your clothes, sweat in the bed while getting too caught up watching dr who on Netflix, change out of your sweaty clothes and leave. This experience was about the same. There’s no shower, only a small bathroom to change in, so bring an extra towel to help deal with feeling gross. I always layered thermals and thick hiking socks in the bed but they offer some plastic sweat suit for an additional price. I don’t know how much more effective it is or not. You definitely sweat more with both arms in but it’s tough and I always cave and do at least 1 arm out. The fan is best saved for halfway through the session. The last 15 min are always the toughest.
As far as overall cleanliness, not bad. The beds I got in were always clean. The girls are on top of cleaning stuff but there have been times I changed right after others and the floors have been soaked.
So if you have realistic expectations, it’s a really nice experience. Keep track of your possessions, leave a little early for parking, and enjoy the sweat. It’s a great boost of energy and leaves your feeling great.

Ewww– I’ve never written a review (good or bad) but I had to. The ladies there were so unwelcoming and made me feel super awkward. I work and have worked in retail /​front desk/​customer services jobs. And they were so snotty and rude. It smelled so strong and terrible when I walked in. They didn’t do anything when they messed up my appointment time. And the wrap stations looked gross from the little I saw. I didn’t get a tour or a welcome or anything it was just a very awkward and unpleasant experience. I have these life booker deals that I should not have bought: because I won’t be coming back– that was really unsettling

I bought 3 sessions from Lifebooker. Came here and thought «ooh Beverly Hills».
UMMM…boy was I wrong. Walked in, got set up right away. The girl opened up the blanket and the bed was discolored to a weird color. I lay down and she put on the headphones. Immediately I smell a strong unpleasant odor. They must not clean the headphones.
So I just took off the old disgusting headphones and went without them for the hour. As I was laying there, I also noticed black footprints against the wall where my feet are. Once again… DISGUSTING.
I’ve gone to Shape House before and this place does not compare. Don’t be fooled by «Beverly Hills» location. It’s dirty, they don’t give you water and parking isn’t the best.
Needless to say, I didn’t even bother using the 2 sessions left from my coupon.

I think it could be a lot nicer with individual rooms instead of just curtains. But I love sweating it out in the thermal sleeping bag-​like things. I’ve gotten many wraps in different salons and this isn’t the most effective but if you know what to do it will help you detox and temporarily loose water weight: do AT LEAST three wraps spaced a couple days apart, drinking a TON of water, eating clean green and fiber, sleep, and exercise consistently during that week and those extra inches will definitely go down after the three+ wraps where normally you might hold it (arms and love handles). It comes back after a couple days but you’ve efficiently detoxed and will be glowing. This sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people think a body wrap is a magical blanket to loose pounds. It’s not, don’t fool yourself, it’s best just for targeted sweating in combination with your routine. And for cramps.
Yeah it’s hot as hell but if you’re in the routine you won’t be as bothered.
They’re strict about keeping appointments though, and if you’re late expect that to come off you’re time since they’re always fully booked.
I bought a deal pack to try it out and wasn’t able to use them all before they expired and they wouldn’t let me use it anyways so that sucked.
But still going back when I need it again…

UGH. I don’t even know where to start. When I first started going to Body Wrap LA, they had a location in Studio City which was nice. It was small, and always smelled and you could kind of find parking, but it was more convenient.
I haven’t gone here in a long time because I can’t call– they never answer, I’ll get a voicemail from them calling back. But that really doesn’t help me when they have a 48 hour cancellation policy and want to charge me $ 30. its kind of like a scam, they seem to just set you up to have to be charged since they never answer and you can never just cancel.
They have no hours posted. Who the hell doesn’t have their hours posted? really? thats like business «to-​do» #1, list your hours.
Their pamplets have the wrong phone number. Their beds have no privacy. they have 1 bathroom with no hot water to wash hands. When i did go there was always something wrong with netflix. their is NEVER any parking.
I can’t blame the girls working when I come in because they are always on the phone (possibly why no one ever can answer).
And then, they want you to buy a package of sessions after all this. No, I don’t want to ever spend money. Thank god i got a groupon first.
If you don’t care about things like listed hours, or not getting through, or never finding an appointment, or spending too much money to get into a wet stinky bed– you are probably going to be ok with this business.
I wouldn’t spend your money here and I am not going to. I just can’t speak well for a business that obviously doesn’t have it together. My patience is completely gone.

The worst place I’ve ever been to! Horrible, incompetent staff!!! They don’t know what they are doing (I had to instruct the girl who works there how to actually close the wrap properly as she left my feet open). I purchased five appointments with them but was fed up and gave up on them after three. Wish I could give zero or minus stars:)

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I bought a Groupon for a body wrap and never was able to make an appointment because a) they NEVER answer their phone b) Never called me back after I left messages. So unprofessional! Is this even a real business or a scam?

I tried the place out through groupon. I like to sweat so I bought a package of 5 for $ 125… I thought what a steel! NOT!
First of all I bought my package for the studio city location. They did not tell me that my package expires after 6 months but claim that they stamp every receipt upon purchase. Receipts that the staff also don’t have a record of.
Secondly, when their studio city location relocated to another area in studio city they did not notify their customers. At least not me. Then when their second studio city location closed completely they supposedly sent a mass email to everybody. The reason I was not notified is because the last appointment I made was more than 3 months ago which their computer system rendered inactive.
I made an appointment online to go to a body wrap session in beverly hills branch which allowed me on the computer to do but I had to pay an additional $ 30 for missing my appointment for the location that relocated on me and closed down on me. I went ahead and paid the $ 30 and did the appointment. Then they tell me that I cannot use the rest of the unused body wrap because it expired and the only reason their computer system let me make the appointment is because of a system error that they could correct and it would charge me $ 85 for that session. But they definitely cannot go into the same computer system and extend the service for my already expired package that they didn’t notify me about.
Worst customer service experience.
Don’t waste your money!
Don’t try your patience either!
It’s like I was in a foreign country talking in a foreign language.
POOREST customer service ever!

Progress result: I have been consistent with my appointments and am definitely continuing to see results! I am going twice a week has helped me lose weight and inches. They say it takes 8 – 10 times, well I fall into that category and am definitely pleased with how it is progressing.
I still use Weight Watchers, but am a little lazy now with counting points, and do get exercise outside of here, but overall I am not very athletic. I’m sure that my overall plan of attack, so to speak, has helped, but these wraps really do help.
***Note**** I have seen people complain there is no shower there. The reason why is you need to wait at least 30 – 45 mins. to let your body cool down for the wrap to be really effective. So be prepared and bring an extra set of clothes to change into when you leave and plan to go home after your wrap. You will SWEAT and it is like getting a very intense workout.
***Note*** Also, people have complained about it not working after one or two times, well you might see immediate loss of water weight, but you can gain that back right away. Again, it takes 8 – 10 times. This is not a quick fix.

I hate to start doing business with them as I experience zero customer service.
How do they run a business and not answer their phone ALL DAY long? Really ??? After I do all these Groupon sessions which is a deal… then I’m done !!!
Nobody pick up the phone and you can’t even make an appointment. Get it together Body Wrap L.A. Beverly Hills !.. watch your business…

I bought a 5-​pack of Infared Body Wraps from Group On, and immediately went in on both a Thursday and a Saturday before a major pool party. I thought maybe these wraps could give me a little boost and shrink me down a little for my bikini. My normal weight is around 115, but at the time I went in the body wrap I was 119 pounds, so I wanted two wraps to help me loose a little of the extra 4 pounds of baggage. The wraps didn’t work; I didn’t lose a single inch or pound when I immediately jumped on the scales after the wrap. I’m also a fitness instructor, so I taught classes after the wraps and didn’t see the benefit of a «increased metabolism and fat burner» as I was told I would.
I was really uncomfortable during both sessions – because its just so dang hot. And even with the Netflix, I was counting the minutes until I could jump out of that cocoon.
On the plus, customer service is strong – the attendants at Body Wrap LA are lovely, attentive, and personable. I enjoyed my interactions with the staff on both occasions. The parking is a nightmare – as with all Beverly Hills establishments. The spa is no frills (in and out), but its clean and well maintained. I still have 3 wraps left, and I’m not sure if I want to suffer through the heat in an attempt to get my Groupon’s worth. The wraps so didn’t work for me. Its too bad. Thank goodness I had a Groupon because there is no way I would pay their normal rates.

Ive been to this one and the one in studio city. I’m a fan ! parking can be an issue but they have a paid lot a block down ! once you figure out the online system. you’re in !!
I don’t know if its working but it sure does feel good to sweat that much !!
