Lula Holistic Mini Spa (CLOSED)

Lula Holistic Mini Spa is a teeny, tiny green oasis, tucked just off Glendale Boulevard on a tree-lined neighborhood street. It seems an unlikely place for a world-class facial, but you'll begin to relax as soon as you turn onto Hollydale. The spa is a small, bright green one-room building. Leanne, the facialist and owner, is a beautiful and calming presence, welcoming you in with cool water and the scent of tea tree and lavender. You'll change into a towel wrap in the small changing room and take your place on the heated table for a mini consultation with Leanne. The atmosphere here is intimate, and not just because the space is so small. Leanne will talk to you about your skin, her skin, the techniques she's using... she'll answer any questions you have, and share tips and secrets for healthy skin. She can also talk at length about the cleanliness and benefits of the product line she uses, Dr. Alkaitis Skin Food (so natural you can eat it!), and recommend the right regiment for you. Best of all, she's laid back about skin care—don't wash your face every day? A-okay with her. Want to make your own masks from scratch? She's got advice. We almost want to go back just to hang with her and talk skin-care but, of course, we'd also take a facial ($125 for 75 min) here any day.
