Late Post March 2024
It's been a while since I last visited Wispa. Just a friendly tip: remember to shower before going to the jjimjilbang (Co-Ed area). Based on my recent visit, I noticed that some women seemed a bit reserved. If you're feeling shy, a Korean spa might not be the best fit for you. Remember, you are in a culture where people of all ages, from kids to grandparents, frequent these bathhouses weekly.
I decided to bring my best friend here for his birthday. It was a bit challenging to explain the process since we had to prepare separately before meeting in the Co-Ed area. However, the staff at the front desk were very helpful and willing to answer all his questions. I went ahead and timed our meeting after 30 minutes to meet. The shower, warm jacuzzi, and steamroom hit the spot. Then I was off to the jjimjilbang. This time around we did not request any service. My friend and I explored every room and particularly liked the salt, clay, and ice rooms. The jade and hottest room aka Bulgama were quite intense. We also grabbed a quick bite to eat at the restaurant – the Egg Rolls were hot and delicious! The weather was nice so we decided to chill in the outside patio. I would highly recommend getting there super early or really late anything in between can be too much in terms of a crowd.

Place is clean and as expected. But not really friendly for first time customers. When we checked in at front desk, that girl rolling her eyes when I politely ask her to repeat available massage time spot. No appt made for such an attitude. Our whole family was giving 0 guidance even we with two young kids. FYI, the check in floor is Men’s room, lady need to use elevator to reach B floor. Leaned it in a hard way. Hope Janeth just had a bad bad that day and won’t ruin any other customers their relaxing time.

This spa was recommended while I was in town for a brief stay in LA. Spending the afternoon there was a perfect complement after hiking Runyon Canyon in the morning. I scheduled a 30-min foot massage and then enjoyed the facilities in the women’s and co-ed area. My favorite was the array of saunas - Swedish, clay, salt, sweat lodge - followed by the cold room. I’ll definitely return when I’m back in LA. There is also a store of the best Korean skincare available. I was recently in Seoul and saw all of the top brands that I purchased there. The video attached is the rooftop where we spent some time after our spa afternoon.

I came to visit the area for a short weekend trip for my birthday. I live in Minnesota and everything here is expensive. I really like the cost and how organized they are, the variety of treatments was also very nice… there were some surprises because it was an all new experience but definitely worth the time and something to tell all my friends that’s traveling to the area to try.
The only thing I recommend is getting rid of the uniform and cutting back on cost by giving guest a robe and slippers instead… this will make getting in and out of the different areas much easier. Overall a wonderful place to go.

Favorite place to go in LA right now. It’s a great deal - only $30 for a day pass. Feels amazing! The food is delicious as well. This place is very special to me :) I am grateful to Wi Spa for providing such a welcoming, affordable healing space to our community.
