No Easy Feet

Sunset Foot Spa Opens

Most reflexologists love to test your reflexes: Digging a nail into your sole makes you pull away; paying for torture makes you wince.

But at Sunset Foot Spa, a new hole-in-the-wall massage joint in Hollywood, they actually know what they’re doing.

Inside the clean, simple space, relax in one of the eight white towel-covered recliners, soak your peds in a wooden tub filled with purifying herbs, then let a totally pleasant attendant give your footsies a systematic and thorough rubdown using traditional Chinese techniques.

A standard 40-minute session will set you back $20 — $15 if you download the coupon on the website’s pricing page. A full hour is only $5 more. On bend to spend? Shell out $40 for the Nirvana Experience, 70 minutes of body massage and reflexology.

No wonder you’ve already got one foot out the door.

Sunset Foot Spa, 5419 West Sunset Boulevard, between Western and Serrano Avenues, suite 3, Hollywood (323-898-4220 or sunsetfootspa.com).
