Have been looking for a great Thai spa and massage destination for years in Santa Monica- and I just got lucky finding this hidden oasis, Thai Beauty & Facial, on Pico between 23rd and Cloverfield.
There's really not much of an physical ambience to Thai Beauty, but what it lacks in style the massage therapists (I've tried both Dang & Vicki) knock the ball out the park. And for $45 an hour- its a complete home run.
They both have their unique massage technique, Dang offering a more traditional style and Vicky providing (I guess) more contemporary ala Thai Combo- but each have very sensitive and intuitive hands and were responsive to my unique requests (i.e. neck). After my 90 minute session I felt physically awesome and refreshed. Their traditional Thai massage beds are comfortable and clean. I have yet to try a deluxe facial treatment or pedicure- but given the success of my massages, I would expect nothing but the best.
Thai Beauty & Facial is a family run affair and just getting started. Please schedule an appointment soon and give them a try. I'm sure you'll be real happy with the experience.
Pros: Great massage technique - especially neck, shoulders + face.
Cons: No shower.
