Est. 2011 — Los Angeles
Elevate your inner and outer beauty
Urban Day Spa & Skin Studio
Fourteen treatment rooms, one unhurried pace. Every ritual is built around the state you arrive in.
Quiet rooms for a slower hour
Tailored facials, botanical body therapy and quiet rooms in the middle of the city.
Our treatments
Four ways to rest
Skilled hands, exacting technique and unhurried time, sorted into four treatment families so you can find the right one quickly.
Facial Care
Steam, gentle extraction and layered serums for skin that looks rested.
Body Therapy
Warm botanical oils and slow, firm pressure to unknot a long week.
Holistic Healing
Sound, breath and stillness for the days when the mind needs rest most.
Essential Oils
Cold-pressed blends chosen for your skin, your sleep and your mood.
Skin that looks rested and a body
that feels the same
Aurae began as a single treatment room and grew into a full day spa where every appointment starts with a conversation. Our therapists listen first, then choose the products, pressure and pace that suit your skin and your week. Come for an hour; most guests leave with a plan for the next.
Caring for yourself isn't a finish line you cross. It is an ordinary afternoon, an hour set aside, capable hands and a quiet room — and the lasting change that comes from simply coming back, again and again.
A deep-hydration facial for
skin running low
Ninety minutes of steam, gentle extraction and layered hydrating serums, finished with a firm facial massage. Skin comes out plumper and softer, with an even tone that holds well beyond the day you visit.

Why guests return
The Aurae difference
Guests tell us the same few things bring them back: products they can pronounce, a room that stays quiet, and a plan that fits their week.
Cold-pressed oils, plant extracts
Our oils and extracts are plant-derived and cold-pressed, chosen for purity and for how kindly they treat your skin day after day.
Rooms kept quiet on purpose
Soft lighting, sound-dampened walls and a no-phones rule in every treatment room mean the only thing you hear is your own breathing.
Sessions planned around you
Each visit opens with a short consultation, so pressure, products and timing are chosen for your skin and your schedule, not a fixed menu.

Guest reflections
I came in carrying months of tension and left feeling like myself again. The care here is attentive without ever being intrusive — every detail, down to the light in the room, is considered.

Plan your visit
Book your hour of quiet
Tell us what you need and we will match you with the right therapist and time.
Drop-in visits are welcome whenever a room is free on the day, though reserving ahead is the surest way to hold the time you want.
Before you arrive
Common inquiries
The questions our guests ask most often, answered plainly.
Not strictly, though giving us a day's notice helps us hold the time and therapist you would like.
Nothing beyond yourself. Robes, slippers and a private locker are waiting for you, so wear whatever is comfortable for the trip over.
Yes. Tell us when you book or at check-in and your therapist will swap any product or technique that does not suit you.
Many are, with adjustments. Let us know your stage of pregnancy when booking and we will suggest suitable treatments and avoid certain oils.
