Getting a LA city license is a whole lot of petty work but certainly worth it.
In California, cities are regulated separately. When I was working in the LA area, I was licensed in LA (city), LA (county), West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Places like Santa Monica and the surrounding areas all have their own licenses, so be sure where you want to work and get the correct license.
First go the the city clerk's office closest to you. I went to the
West Los Angeles Office
1828 Sawtelle Blvd., Suite 102
Los Angeles, CA
(310) 575-8888
and fill out paper work, take fingerprints, bring two passport photos, pay the fee some 300$+, then they will give you a date to take the test down in San Pedro (near long beach) which is administered once or twice a month. They will also give you a form that you need to have signed by your employer (who has a spa license), and a form to take to a doctor to get a physical, stating you are free from Infectious Diseases.

∙ 15y agoThe State of California is going through a transitionary period and is proposing to adopt Sate licensing. At the present time, it looks like therapists will have a choice to get the state license - which has lower standards than most cities and counties currently regulating massage - or they can obtain a city or county license depending on where they live.
