7. Burke Williams
The big daddy of Los Angeles day spas. It's not the most expensive, but it does have nine locations in California with six in the LA area and three more in Orange County. They get crowded and rushed sometimes and have a tendency to lose ground in the customer service arena when that happens. Even so, they generally have an excellent treatment staff. Over all, it's a good bet.Burke Williams Basics
