Gendarme Atelier + Spa - West Hollywood, California

Trav Smith

I was visiting LA and needed some waxing done, so I booked an appointment here and don’t regret anything.

The whole experience was great! The customer service was top tier and the service I requested was so detailed and amazing. Everardo did an amazing job, took his time, and made sure I was satisfied with my treatment at the end.

The whole experience from booking to paying, was extremely smooth and effortless. If you are in the LA area and need any waxing or trimming done, I encourage you to try this cute spa out.

A wonderful place of relaxation. Stop by for your various spa treatments; massage therapy, facials, grooming, or purchase your fragrance of choice. Valet parking, friendly environment to wait with a glass of wine while chatting with eclectic clientele. Pamper yourself, you deserve it!

I enjoyed my experience at this spa, but the atmosphere wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped. The staff were friendly and the services were good, though.
I had a good experience at this spa, but the wait time for my appointment was longer than I expected. The staff were apologetic and made up for it with excellent service, though. Overall, it's still worth a visit.

I visited L.A. from the desert & Gendarme was a recommendation. I had no expectations as I’ve always gone to the larger hotel spas.
What a gem, so quaint, warm & friendly! The pricing was very reasonable & gotta love all the cool places to eat in Weho!

It is sad for me that I’m not giving this place a 5 star review. I went there with my wife and left there extremely happy...until...

I’m a huge fan of their cologne. I’ve had for years! My mom and mother in law love it too. So to go there was exciting for me. Then I got to meet the creator of the cologne! Double score! Nice service and I got what I thought was a great deal and I vowed to never buy elsewhere. I got 3 1.7oz colognes and even 1 free for 175.00 bucks!
As I’m driving to my hotel I looked online and wondered what the price of each was when lo and behold they have a sale online for 5 of the 1.7oz bottles for 119.00 bucks! Really?!?! And they didn’t know that or they didn’t tell me that? Why wouldn’t they? They were so nice at the store! I had expressed that I wanted to try the shower gel and online...it’s free with a 140.00 dollar purchase. I just spend 175!!! I spend more and got much less...and that sucks .
This left a bad taste in my mouth. I live in the Bay Area and was just passing through so going back is out of the question. I still enjoy the smell of the colognes but again... very disappointed and a little betrayed overall.

I always have the best service and experience at The Gendarmerie. I'm always welcomed with a warm greeting from the moment I arrive. And even weeks after an amazing haircut by Cris, I receive compliments from family, friends, and co-workers. The owner, Topper, is usually around, and I always enjoy having great conversation with him.
The Gendarmerie is a great full service, neighborhood spa that everyone should check out!

Wow. I'm so disappointed. My wife works really hard with our 2 kids and I wanted to do something nice for her for Mother's Day. I looked around my area for a spa and found The Gendarmerie Boutique and spa had amazing ratings. I booked "David's absolutely fab spa day" for her with the receptionist Noel, who was very friendly and helpful.

My wife did not have a relaxing or enjoyable time because of the monumentally apathetic attitude of David, her spa guy. My wife had never had a facial or anything like this and we were both so excited. David could hardly muster a smile and was very clinical and, kind of, let's just get to the next part of the "fabulous" spa day so I can get you outta here, to the point where my wife couldn't wait to be done and get picked up by me and the kids.
My wife is about as friendly and sweet as anyone you would ever meet so in NO WAY could this have been that David had a bad attitude subsequent to her bad attitude. I would think half of what's so great a spa day is that the spa esthetician/masseur is friendly and happy with a great bedside manner. David had none of these things and He's the one I picked for her. Based on the available pictures of employees to choose from, he seemed most likely to have all those qualities.

The price was $195 for about 2 hours and my wife tipped $25, even after feeling uncomfortable most of the time, cuz she's generous like that. With two young kids, $220 is not breaking the bank but it's not cheap. My wife will never be back to Gendarmerie and if anyone ever asks me to recommend a spa I'll certainly be able to tell them where NOT to go. So disappointed, man.

Great place... various hours. Offers facials, body waxing, haircuts(when possible) in a comfortable, large WeHo Craftsman home dating back to mid 1940s. Has a beautiful inner courtyard with built-in benches and a garden. Excellent + friendly staff. Need to book 3 days to a week in advance. On Nemo St off of Doheny Drive in an off-the-main strip location of West Hollywood business distracted.
