Candle Spa in Studio City

[big dale]

There's really only one thread about this place, though it is mentioned in comments on other threads. Anyone have recent experience with Candle Spa in Studio City? I'm sure it's off my list until we get to a better spot post-pandemic, but I'm curious about it. Also there seems to be a masseur named Andy there that people recommend, though I have noticed in my years of getting massage in Los Angeles that a lot of the providers choose the name Andy for some reason.

 

So, gents... what's the 411?

Andy was very favorably reviewed on the old frequentmassagegetter's blog. He used to do massage at his home, and advertised on the now defunct massagem4m site. By the time I got around to booking him, tho, he had started Candle Spa and wasn't working out of his house anymore. The massage from him at Candle Spa was strictly therapeutic, which is too bad because he was quite attractive and I would have liked a more sensual massage from him.

There's another thread where someone links to a profile of AndyThai. Any idea if that's the same Andy everyone is talking about. It's super unclear.

That is not the same Andy. I had asked that question in the other thread. A tale of 2 Andys.

 

I don’t think Andy at Candle has a profile anywhere... at least not that I’ve found.

More like a tale of 99 Andys! I feel like it is one of the primary names guys of asian background give themselves when they work in bodywork. Andy, Bryan, and Billy are the three I've run into a lot.

I have seen Andy at Candle Spa 3 or 4 times. He is great, strictly legit though. If you want a great therapeutic massage, I highly recommend him. And if you find a profile or info on him working outside of the spa - sharing is caring. ?

Does anyone have a link with a pic of "Andy"? Like Dale, I've had my fair share of Asian Andy's and one in particular I'd like to find again. Maybe he's at Candle Spa....

Ymmv with Andy, I’ve always had a “complete experience” with him and the other guy there ?‍♂️

[LACoaster]

Worth a revisit then, or a text to Andy ahead of time and feel out the situation.

Another vote for Andy at Candle Spa. Legit; I feel like new man when I leave. He's excellent, in a class by himself. Recommend. (when things are safe).

Imagine what Andy's "complete experience" would be like? You'd probably feel like a new and renewed man. He sounds great!

Andy is quite skilled. I’ve seen him off and on for years. He’s one of those regulars of mine that I have to see every three months or so. The experience I got from him in the beginning is not what I receive now but I have been going to him for four years. Make of that what you will.

When one makes an appointment at the spa, do you guys specifically ask for Andy?

Same. Both of them. Tho sometimes they're a bit distracted from foot traffic as they take walk-ins, but I've noticed a lot of men request those two and I've never left unsatisfied.

Just went and had an hour massage with Andy . Very good professional no extras

Is this the Andy, who is about 5'10, small moustache, that used to massage at his own place in Hollywood then Los Feliz?  I think he worked at Blue Moon years ago???

Bumping this to share I also had a fantastic experience with Andy at Candle Spa. Highly recommend.

Don't think so. I'm a regular and during COVID went to his place in WeHo often. I've known him to be at Candle Spa for at least the last five or six years personally. 

[Guest DavieW]

Do you guys usually call and request Andy? Or do you book through their website 

[+ GD85]

I called and requested him, super simple.

I recently started frequenting this location and found the "other guy", James,  to be quite skilled as well. I tried him out after several unsuccessful attempts to book Andy. It's been a very enjoyable,  relaxing,  therapeutic and sensual experience thus far. No HE. Although he seems more relaxed with the draping lately and more sensual each visit.  Looking forward to my next visit.

Could you explain the sensual part? Thx

Just went to Candle Spa and booked Andy.  Therapeutic only but he was definitely skilled!  He worked out my knots like crazy and was at certain points he would let my draping slide a little low or to a point where I was exposed (esp during the stretching).  The whole entire time, I was wondering if he would start sending me signals.  When he was massaging my chest, I got nervous and excited.. he got close to my nipples but didn’t really touch them.  Definitely want to go back, maybe I’ll ask him to focus on my chest more lol!   For those with more experience with him… how did it all start? Did he initiate?  Does it take a few appointments?

I'm sure he's a good businessman. The more often a client visits him, the more "suggestive" he gets. He keeps the client guessing and anticipating more on the next visit. You spend more on extra visits — and tips after all the teasing.
