Massage Envy Glendale is the place if you are truly looking for a "therapeutic massage." It is not a "spa" but a therapeutic massage clinic with a spa like atmosphere. The desk staff there are very experienced and listen to your needs while booking your appointment. They really want to match your needs with the right massage therapist's abilities. You get a "customized massage." The therapists there actually want to see you again soon! Your first 1 hour massage session is $39 or $57 for 1.5 hours.
I get a massage once a week early morning(where else can you do that in LA). For $59 per month, I get one "prepaid" massage and every additional massage in that month is $39. However, I am now addicted to 1.5 hour massages for $57. It's the difference between business class and coach. Being part of Massage Envy's Massage Benefits program was the best thing I have done for myself. Massage is now part of my health and wellness routine. In addition, one of the benefits of their program is that I can purchase 1 hour massage session gift certificates for $39 for friends and family which I do on a regular basis. I also receive a 15% discount of all their fabulous retail product which is hard to miss when you enter the lobby. It is lit up from behind and looks like something you would find at a Prada store in Beverly Hills.
I understand they have about 30 therapists on staff and I have had massages with at least half of them. The place is spotless! They have very convenient hours and many times can accomodate walk-ins. M-F 8AM - 10PM SAT 8AM - 6PM and SUN 10AM -6 PM. Massage Envy Glendale is centrally located on Brand Blvd near Porto's bakery. I admit to having a latte and a fruit tart after every massage.
Massage Envy Glendale validates parking for 2 hours at the Orange St. Parking structure(California & Orange) or sometimes I park behind Porto's bakery and use the meters.
Pros: Well trained staff, convenient appointment times and AFFORDABLE!
Cons: If you looking for spa services, other than massage, this is not the place.
