Came here for a girls day and our experience was perfect from the moment we came in; the owners who introduced the spa, benefits, and what to expect. We didn’t feel uncomfortable at all! Moon and Lee were our therapists at the time and I have continued to come back. Highly recommended Moon for both the scrub and massage.

Never been to a Traditional Korean spa? For those of you who don’t know, you will be unclothed the entire time and it’s female only. It can be a vulnerable experience for some so prepare if needed. I highly recommend showing up at least an hour before your appointment so you can fully enjoy the tubs and saunas. Before enjoying the amenities, you will scrub off in the shower. Jump into the hot tub, cold plunge, saunas & hot rooms to prepare your skin. I received the #4 body scrub. I did everything and it was fantastic! I shedded all 28 years of dead skin after my scrub -no this is not a pleasant sugar body scrub, this is a SCRUB that will give you your baby smooth skin back. After the scrub; I received an oil massage, face mask, and peppermint scalp massage. It was an all around fantastic experience. ✨Remember to tip your staff, they work very hard and everyone is so friendly. Thank you everyone at Loess! 🚙 Free parking at the spa. They additionally provide you with a locker, slippers, cover up, big towel, small towel.

I was gifted a spa package for this establishment and hear me when I say this, these women do an astonishing job on the work they do. It was my first time doing something like this, and they made me feel so comfortable. I felt like they went the extra mile for me. They explained every step, what was required, what facilities i could use and they made sure that I left feeling completely exhilarated about my experience. I was rejuvenated, physically, mentally and emotionally. I am a very busy individual. I have a full-time job and part-time job and I am a volunteer secretary at my local church. I’m in charge of a lot of things and there’s a lot of weight on my shoulders and they took all of that away. I came home and took an hour and a half nap which is unheard of for me. My mind is always thinking and my body is always tense so even if I do have time for a nap, I automatically wake up in half an hour 45 minutes tops so for me to sleep hard for an hour and a half is unheard of the woman assigned to me today that did all of my services was Mina. Thank you, Mina for your hard work and dedication. What you do is not easy but you made me feel very special today. This place is a 10 out of 10. I got a full body scrub, a full body massage, foot massage included, hair washed, body wrap, head massage, And then I was able to just take my time. Enjoy the facilities which included an ice pond a sauna a steam room and a hot tub. They had other things that I didn’t use. They have a full kitchen with food available and an area where you could just take your time enjoying the day

Such a cute Korean bathhouse in Kalihi! My first time visiting was great. Prices are transparent and listed on the board. Wet services like scrub packages will get you a facility pass ($50) where dry services like cupping will not get you access to facilities and you’ll need to pay separate. There’s a hot tub, cold tub, showers, bathroom, scrub tables, facial room, yoni room, cupping room, red clay room, charcoal room, etc. Everyone who works there is Korean, and they have Korean food and snacks at the front. I got the scrub package with the aroma oil massage and there’s some sequence to it where once you get the massage, you can no longer go into the hot and cold tubs. The scrub itself honestly kind of hurt.. but I also have quite sensitive skin. Afterwards though, I’ve never felt such soft skin or cleaner. They had bathed me at least twice and shampooed/conditioned my hair. It’s a nice thing to do with some close girl friends regularly and/or before an event where you want to feel extra put together.

I visited today and had such a great experience! This was my first time getting a body scrub or visiting a nude spa, and I left feeling so smooth, clean, and relaxed. Both the woman who checked me in and my therapist were incredibly kind and communicative, which helped me feel comfortable. Some parts of the scrub and massage were a bit intense, but my therapist was attentive and moved quickly through sensitive areas, so nothing ever felt painful. I do think if you are particularly tender I would let my masseuse know in advance since I would compare parts of this service to a deep tissue massage and the scrub itself is vigorous. I am genuinely impressed by the therapists ability to do such a long session, it seems like a tough job. Arrive early to enjoy the tubs since the oil prohibits you from renetering after your session (makes sense). Also I tried to book online and there was no availability but got an appointment with a quick call. My only suggestion would be to add an FAQ or “what to expect” section on the website for first-time visitors, it would be nice to know a bit more beforehand. That said, the staff’s communication made everything easy to navigate. The facility felt clean and although I didn't have time to try the food it all looked very good. The modesty aspect definitely feels a little awkward at first, but everyone is respectful and you quickly get used to it. You’re not massaged in a private room, but the environment still feels calm and appropriate. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would absolutely come back!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Loess Spa. This was my first experience with a Korean spa and body scrub. I booked the #3. Mina applied the perfect pressure for both the scrub and massage. She also checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable. The spa is clean and has great amenities. They even have amazing food and the front desk offered me some kimchi that was sooo good! I’ll definitely be back!

This experience was absolutely next-level. I started with the soak and dry sauna, which immediately grounded my body and softened everything for what came next. From there, I had the full Korean scrub, massage, foot massage, facial, and shampoo with scalp scrub—and wow. Tina was my masseuse, and she was incredible. Skilled, attentive, and deeply intuitive. The scrub left my skin unbelievably soft and renewed, and the massage felt both therapeutic and nurturing. I walked out feeling lighter, energized, and completely reset—inside and out. My skin still feels amazing, my body feels open and alive, and energetically it felt like the perfect way to complete the shedding of the Snake year and step cleanly into the Year of the Horse. If you’re looking for true restoration and renewal, I highly recommend Loess—and ask for Tina by name.

My three friends and I visited recently for a birthday and got the body scrub, massage, & spa access. The whole experience was wonderful, and the owner was so accommodating to see us during a bad storm! We all were new to the experience, and the ladies there made us feel comfortable and informed. We enjoyed some good smoothies and food from their kitchen afterward and all left feeling amazing. These women work so hard to provide a great experience - highly recommend!

One of the best spa experiences I’ve had! I did a body scrub and my skin has never felt more smooth. The facilities were so clean and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back!

An amazing spot for Korean spa culture right in Honolulu! The atmosphere and staff were warm and inviting, and very helpful in guiding me through my first experience at a jjimjilbang. In addition to an assortment of traditional scrub services, there is also a variety of saunas (both wet and dry) and baths that guests have access to both before and after the scrub. Cleanliness is taken very seriously here, as guests are required to tie up loose hair and shower before using the amenities. They did an amazing job of scrubbing and exfoliating all my dead skin and left me feeling brand new!! My skin has never been so soft before — even days later I’ll definitely return when I’m in the area! It’s highly recommended as a thoughtful gift or for self-care
