The Facial was great!
by bendamon
I have had many facials in my life, and this is by far the best ever. They have such cool machines, things for anti aging, acne treatments. I have been to almost every facialist at The Gendarmerie, they are all good, but recently I went to David Williams, and he is by far the best. He is so warm and friendly, and does lots of extractions which I needed. David also does alot of neck and shoulder massage in his facials as well. I would definetly recomend this spa to anyone, parking is easy, friendly staff, and they have an amazing steamroom.
Pros: Great Prices, Friendly Staff
Cons: None

Amazing New Massage- Four Hands
by Daniel F
Today I had the new ?Four Hands? massage at the Gendarmerie in West Hollywood. Their massage has always been the best in town. Now their new Four Hands massage takes it into the stratosphere. It is the ultimate in luxury, pampering and indulgence. Two masseuses work over every inch of you at the same time melting away all of your stress and tension. There is so much going on that your mind cannot wander to your next appointment or what headaches await you this week. You have no choice but to bask in the relaxation. By the end I felt like I had a new body. I particularly recommend this to people who are veterans on the massage table and want to take massage and relaxation to the next level. Finished off with a refresh in the Gendarmerie steam shower and then a glass of wine with Hollywood Legend (and regular customer) Billy Dee Williams?. It was an experience that will be tough to beat.
Pros: Best massage ever!

Beautiful Spa & Best Asian Hair Stylist
by dkdesigner
The Gendarmerie is such a fantastic surprise in the heart of West Hollywood! Truly an oasis, the Gendarmerie is staffed with fun, friendly people. It really is a one-stop shop for all your grooming services. As soon as I sit in the styling chair, Topper (the owner!) welcomes me with a beverage and a pastry. Aya has been my hair stylist for over a year, and I'm so happy with the results! It's difficult to find stylists that are skilled with all hair types, especially Asian hair. Every experience at the Gendarmerie has been amazing. Highly recommended!
Pros: Location, Staff, Asian Hair Expertise

What a Lovely Spa!
by frogdoglover
This little hidden spa tucked on a small street (Nemo) in West Hollywood is a delight! I remember reading about it several years ago in the LA Times when it first opened as one of the "metrosexual" all men's spas. I am happy to report it now is completely co-ed and they are wonderful. I felt completely comfortable the moment I stepped foot into the living room and everyone there was so warm, friendly and inviting. I booked a massage and they took me through a enchanted courtyard to another detached building in the back where I received an outstanding hot stone massage by Dean. My tension melted away while he worked his magic on me. Topper, the proprietor could not be more accommodating by offering me a bite to eat and a glass of wine before I floated out the door.
Pros: Atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent massage

Best Find Ever
by scotty1527
I really should keep this place a secret so I can have it all to myself. The service here is excellent. The owner, Topper, really takes care of his customers. When you enter, you are offered your choice of beverage, including wine. I had a manicure and pedicure from Josette (incrdible), my hair cut by Bill (he is fabulous) and a facial and massage by Ever (great). I was totally pampered the whole time I was there (including home made cookies). I visited the steam room before my massage, it was so relaxing. I even purchase a shirt by the spa's resident designer. I will be going back soon.
Pros: Best service in town
Cons: Limited Parking

What a great experience and fantastic results!
by howcroft
I had never before experienced a high end salon and the accompanying service. I really enjoyed it. (In the past I have had the $15 haircut at a barber shop.)
I had a color, highlights, and a cut and style. I gave the stylist, Tre, full freedom to do what he thought was best. The only restriction I gave him was daily styling could not exceed 2-3 minutes. The results were phenominal.
Tre and the rest of the staff were great. I am throughly pleased. No more barber shop cuts for me.

Pros: Great experience
Cons: Street parking is tight but valet parking is available
