Body Lounge Inc.

In need of some good old fashioned pampering? BODY LOUNGE is the place to go. Enjoy the ambiance of french music and friendly staff with a glass of wine or champagne while getting a spa mani/pedi. I've had the chance to try out their facials aswell which are wonderful and relaxing complete with a shoulder AND arm massage. This is just the place to relax and unwind.

I took my mother here for a facial on mother's day, she had never been to a spa before (or had a facial) and was nervous. As soon as she walked in the door she felt relaxed. The atmosphere is great (candles, relaxing music, and great-tasting pastries are just some of the touches) and the staff are extremely friendly and professional. Katherine did a great job with the facial and my mom could not be happier. Thanks Body Lounge!

Remember Jungle Nail? That kitschy nail salon on Ventura with the stuffed tiger in the window? Well, I was devastated when it closed for business -- its windows were covered over, and the familiar stuffed tiger was nowhere to be seen. Well that closure was like a metamorphosis: Jungle Nail has been replaced, and not an ounce of that old kitsch remains. It has been transformed into an elegant, and remarkably relaxing spa setting called Body Lounge.

As a pedicure regular (I only rarely get a manicure, since I invariably destroy it within 2 days), I highly recommend this salon. The quality of the work is terrific, the prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly (but not overly solicitous -- for those who like to enjoy an hour-or-so of pampering without too much chit-chat), and the overall experience is incredibly pleasant. They even keep drinks and sweets on hand -- you never know when you might need a Diet Coke or a dose of sugary goodness! For pedicures or mani-pedi combos, clients sit in big, cushy massage/whirlpool chairs, and take my advice: the additional 10-minute massage (for an extra $10) is a must. This may be the best-kept-secret on Ventura -- but perhaps not for long.
