The Now Massage in West Hollywood

Something I've taken a liking to in 2016 is getting massages. I've gotten two so far this year, and I see more in my future for sure. I bookmarked The Now Massage Boutique in West Hollywood after seeing Marianna Hewitt post on Instagram it (p.s. follow @oliviafrescura on instagram if you aren't yet!). After checking out their site and prices, I was pleasantly surprised that they offer affordable massages in such a luxe space.Something that stood out to me was their add ons- including an eye mask, aromatherapy, or abdominal massage. I opted to do some aromatherapy as it was cheap and I love a good fragrance. They use Jiva-Apoha oils, which seem really high end, and the scent I picked was Baby Jiva which had lavender and chamomile to add to the relaxation factor. The massage that I got was their signature Now massage, a swedish inspired massage. I got 50 minutes for $60, which is 10 minutes less for the same price of the last massage I got, but in a much better environment. They have massages for children, athletes, travelers, anyone!The receptionists are very welcoming, I had read a few yelp reviews that stated otherwise, so I was a bit nervous, but I didn't have a single issue. I would just recommend that you show up at least 10 minutes early in order to fill out their form. If you show up late, they aren't going to extend your time slot so you'll likely get a shorter massage!The massage rooms are not individual rooms, but one large room separated by cloths. So, you can hear the occasional noise like coughing, but I didn't find it irritating. I thought my massage was great. My first massage experience was a lot more painful, but after my massage at The Now I felt a lot more relaxed and rejuvenated! I'll admit that massages are pretty painful for me- but the results are great. If you're in the West Hollywood area, definitely check out The Now, as I will for sure be going back!
