Fairfax Healing Spa

Fairfax Healing Spa is a day spa on North Fairfax Avenue in the Melrose area of Los Angeles, focused on massage rather than pools, saunas, or multi-room circuits. The signature offering is a Swedish massage, priced at $68 per hour, with a weekday special running Monday through Friday from 10am to 2pm at the same rate.

The spa is open seven days a week from 10am to 9pm, and both walk-ins and reservations are accepted, so you can show up without planning ahead or book a specific time if you prefer certainty. There's a private room as well as a couple room, and the therapist staff includes both male and female masseurs, which matters if you have a preference.

Parking in this stretch of Fairfax takes a little attention. The street itself is metered on both sides, but nearby options include free or low-cost alternatives: short free stretches on Rosewood Ave, two-hour free parking on Hayworth Ave (with block-by-block time limits), one-hour free parking on Clinton St, and a public lot at 543 N Fairfax Ave just north of the spa, a half-minute walk away, charging $10 for all-day parking. Checking posted signs before leaving your car is worth doing given how the rules shift from block to block.

Given the affordable pricing and simple massage-only format, this is a place to stop in for a straightforward hour of bodywork rather than a destination for a full spa day.
