Agua De Vida Spa

This spa is amazing!!! I’ve been planning a wedding and was super stressed out before coming here for a couples massage with my fiancé, I left feeling like butter. Bessy, the owner was so thoughtful and caring offered me water in a cute wine glass used essential oils sandalwood and ginger, and rubbed a delicious smelling lotion on me at the end I think it was passion fruit mango. My fiancé and I had such a wonderful time at the spa we left feeling so relaxed and happy. Did I mention the delicious big cup of tea we were made at the end? It was bomb. I hate leaving spas feeling oily and sticky but my skin felt so great that I made it through all my errands for the day feeling like a million bucks!

Bessy is the best. She is a strong and caring owner. She genuinely loves her clients. I have been to this spa since Dec 2015 and great, clean, and safe services at this spa. Quick and she manages to work around my busy schedule. I am definitely a life long client.

I wish I could rate this higher because the procedure was great. Let me explain why I am displeased.
I bought a Brazilian wax Groupon (2 waxes). I called to schedule the first appointment and didn’t get through so I left a voicemail. My message was returned but I was at work and could not answer. I tried calling again and couldn’t reach a person. I figured that playing phone tag wasn’t productive so I just went in to book the appointment. It was inconvenient, but I figured, «I couldn’t answer when she tried to return my call, so I’ll just do this.»
The service was great. The technician initially dimmed the lights, then gave me a mask to wear while she worked so the light wasn’t too bright, and played soothing music. A very zen experience for what is not a very delightful procedure.
Now I am trying to book again. I called on Tuesday trying to set up an appointment for the weekend. No call back. I emailed the two email addresses on the website on Thursday trying to set up the appointment. No response. I called again on Saturday, wasn’t able to get through, and left another message.
You should not have to go in to a business just to book an appointment that isn’t going to be available for a few days. There are never any day-​of appointments available.

I have been here several times for a massage and I love it. It is very relaxing and their customer service is great.

I came here a few weeks ago using a Groupon for a couple’s massage. The customer service leading up to the massage itself was great. They were running a little behind, and gave us notice and complimentary mimosas. I understand that sometimes things run off schedule and I appreciated the gesture.
My experience was great until the massage therapist came in and asked us that if we wanted more «pressure» to our massage. She then advised that we would have to pay an additional fee of approximately $ 30 for this additional pressure. As I was laying on the massage table, two thoughts immediately came up: 1) How do I know if I need more pressure if you haven’t even started? What is the standard pressure?; 2) This is such a scam! If I ask for any adjustment to the massage, she will likely charge me an additional fee.
Charging someone who wants more «pressure» in their massage will obviously give the massage therapist an incentive to just rub oil on your back so that you will have to ask for more pressure. And that is exactly what happened here! My massage basically consisted of the therapist rubbing oil on my back. It was terrible. She never once asked me about my comfort level or whether or not I needed an adjustment to her massage. Even if she did, I would be hesitant to ask for more pressure as I would likely be charged for it.
TL;DR: The policies at this place is a scam. AVOID THIS PLACE! This is the 626 — there are a ton of other massage places in this area that do not scam their customers with unreasonable policies. Try somewhere else.

I was late due to street bring close to one lane. Then I stood quietly while you were on the phone. Then I was given a lecture on me being late and I mention you didn’t return my message to make appointment. I was then given another lecture on how you were away for convention or some sort. That took more time away.
Really!
I was late for 15 minutes I wanted to go in and start my session then follow w nails. Instead I stood there and wait for you to get off the phone.
Then you proceed to lecture me!!! It’s a spa ! You are not my mother!!!’ Keep the lecture to your own kids.

Dont get suckered in to buying a coupon or a grupon the owner is very deceiving, dont pay cash, pay with a credit card in case she tries to deceive you.

I felt very comfortable here right at the beginning. The place was clean, and they don’t skimp on products, so you know you’re being taken care of. The owner, Bessy, takes her time and explains to you what everything is for. Great experience overall.

After letting Bessy know of my previously unsatisfactory experience, she had promised that she would make it up to us and Im truly glad we gave Agua de Vida a second chance! I really appreciated Bessy’s genuine attitude and customer service, as she took the time to call and apologize to me for any inconveniences and misunderstandings during my previous visit.
My bf and I were treated to the deep tissue massage and it was amazing! Our masseuses hit all the right pressure points and were very attentive to how we’re feeling. Overall, it was a positive second visit and Id definitely recommend this place to a friend.

Best massage in a long time. Clean and very professional. Amazing experience for me and my husband.

I first came to Agua de Vida Spa because I had a Groupon, but instead of drifting from Groupon to Groupon like I had in the past, I stayed because of the owner, Bessy. She really cares about her clients’ health and has very high standards of impeccable cleanliness and professionalism. For the high end products she uses, her prices are much lower.
I actually just look forward to my Brazilian appointments with her. She makes something that is usually kinda awkward and really painful into a fun 20 minute conversation.
I’ve also had a mani-​pedi from her, which was so relaxing, complete with yummy-​smelling products, OPI, and a beautiful bronze bowl. I can’t wait to treat myself again!

Agua de Vida changed my outlook on deep tissue massage. The owner and staff were extremely welcoming and professional. The office and massage room were spotless and gave me a feeling of well being and I was in a relaxed mood. The best massage I’ve ever had hands down and it changed my stress into happiness after I left. My muscles feel great and I feel amazing from the aromatherapy and ambience. I will definetly go back many times and highly recommend Agua de Vida spa to whoever wants an amazing massage at an affordable price!

Clean, personal, relaxing – if you value these things in a spa then head here. I cannot enjoy a massage or a skin or nail treatment unless I can be assured of two things: I’m relaxed and everything is clean (I mean really clean). With that said, this spa passed the test with flying colors.
My SO gets her skin treatments here by the owner, Bessy. She has always told me what a wonderful place this is, but I didn’t really buy into it until she got us a couple’s massage package for Valentine’s Day. In short, after the wonderful Swedish massage, herbal tea, and dessert wine with luxurious chocolates, I am a FIRM believer. I felt comfortable, that the owner sincerely cared about my experience, and I left the spa in a better fashion than when I entered. We will definitely be going back for more treatments and I recommend you do too – Cheers!

I found this spa about a year ago because of a Groupon I had purchased. I had severe acne at the time and it was a last resort before considering Accutane. Bessy did such an amazing job, that I decided to become a member. My skin has cleared up dramatically because of my regular acne facials with Bessy. She also went as far as talking to me about my diet and stress levels and how they affect the the skin. I also remember calling her on a couple of occasions regarding my appointments and, before hanging up, she asked how my skin was doing. It’s little touches like that I feel set her apart from other spas I’ve been to.
The spa itself is incredibly clean and instantly relaxing. I would compare the room I get my facials done in to some of the more expensive and larger spas I’ve been to. I always come out feeling rejuvenated and with a hot cup of tea waiting for me (I like my tea after my session and Bessy and/​or the receptionist never forget to ask what kind I want). I am so glad I found Agua De Vida and that I became a member. I normally don’t splurge on myself, but it was much more economical and the smartest thing to do for my skin. In a few weeks I’ll be taking advantage of the complimentary massage that comes with the membership, so I am looking forward to that. Thank you Bessy for your kindness and the difference you’ve made in my skin!

My mom, sister and I have been coming to Bessy for years. She uses only the best products and goes out of her way to provide the best service possible i.e. Massage, facials, pedicures, waxing etc… We always leave from our appointments happy and satisfied.

My first experience here was wonderful. Bessy truly cares about her clients and is very knowledgable. The spa is also very clean and welcoming. Would recommend.

Comments from Bessy are ridiculous. Couldn’t pay a charge??? Insane! I could and would pay a charge had there been one.
The price/​cost/​charge have nothing to do with my bad review and please… every place I go to doesn’t double dip and uses gloves, this does not set you apart.
I stand by my review, this was the worst I’ve had and I highly recommend others avoid it. Yes, waxes are painful regardless of where you go and maybe I am sensitive, maybe not but again, this was my worst experience with waxing in the many years I’ve been doing it.

I would like to share my Swedish massage experience and it is one of the best massage I have ever received. Betsy gave me massage, she is very kind and sweet, her hands are amazing, pressure was perfect! Her staffs and Betsy are very polite, know what they are doing so overall I had a very wonderful experience here.
Few tips: please call ahead to schedule appointment. Try to arrive 15 mins early so you can start on time. Parking is available in the back and also 2 hours free parking on the street (San Gabriel Blvd) When contact the spa, try to check and see if any special going on or referral program?
What I love about them is they are very flexible and easy to work with as long as communicate nicely :) good luck!

I would give this place 5 stars but my beginning experience wasn’t all too great.
The website says to come in 30 mins before your scheduled appointment, and I did so. My appointment was at 3:30 pm and I came exactly at 3 pm. The door was locked and you can’t see inside. I’ve confirmed my appointment about 2 times so I’m sure they would’ve remembered…
I waited outside for 45 minutes until someone came.
They offered me water/​coffee/​tea while I still waited
Once I got into the waxing room it was beautiful and relaxing. My esthetician was Bessy. She rubbed essential oils on my head and gave me a mini massage before my waxing which was wonderful!
My experience with her was super relaxing and she assures you before the waxing that everything she does is sanitary (no double dipping, changing gloves etc.)
After I was done she gave me cookies! I will definitely be going again, hoping it will be open on time. If she wasn’t so great I would be so bothered by that, but i will go back for Bessy.

My girlfriend took me here for valentines day we got the hot chocolate couples massage the beds had heating pads which felt great ! When we walked in we were greated nicely and asked if we wanted any beverages while we wait for our room to be ready. After the massage they had champagne and strawberries ready for us. The package deal my girlfriend got included an hour hot tubbing at pudding stone resort. There was a miscommunication problem with that but they helped us with the situation very professionally and was very prompt on getting back to us about what was going on. I would totaly recommend this place to everyone out there !
