I have been a client of MTC for 20 years, as well as an assistant to a cosmetic surgeon (< so you understand why I need to relax :)). I have literally travelled the world, had the most luxurious massages and facial treatments on Earth, and none has surpassed the quality of results I have received at MTC. Tucked quietly away in the corner of a large shopping center, it's hard to believe that this is actually the best reviewed spa in Los Angeles, and employs the #1 facialist in Los Angeles.
First, facials with Brigitte Tolson- you'd never know how knowledgable and accomplished Brigette is when you encounter her friendly down-to-Earth demeanor not common of a Beverly Hills renowned esthetician, and when she gets her hands on you, and you melt away from her touch. Her extractions leave me completely clear without the standard nail marks, and her knowledge and honest approach to skin care surpasses most doctors (I know, I am one :))
Craig has an amazing balance of warmth and intention behind his work- he payed such attention to detail, he told me things I didn't know about my body (he immediately noticed my left hip was lower than my right, I never knew!), and manages to leave me feeling like I can do backflips and sleep for 12 hours all at the same time. He is my personal favorite, but Robert, Patrifa (sp?), and Bob are 3 other great therapists I was very satisfied with. I have yet to have a massage here that didn't excel my expectations.
The ambience is very mellow, without a theme or distractions. It's rather plane, but sophisticated. Much nicer than you would expect. If this place had a hot tub, I may move in. I do wish it wasn't in a shopping center, but thats hardly keeping me from making the drive.
I would visit this business again? Yes
