I'm an athlete and I come here for a mix of reflexology, massage therapy, and deep tissue sessions. It's a "no frills" experience but the massage itself is so superior to an envy or hand and stone. I always walk out feeling like a new person and so much more relaxed. Some tips: They'll do walk ins but I recommend calling ahead and letting them know your coming. This place is also very popular for deep tissue so if you don't specify that you don't want a deep tissue massage - you'll probably get a deep tissue massage. Don't be afraid to be vocal about the pressure - the ladies here are wonderful and just want you to enjoy.

The accommodations are sparse, but the room was warm on a cold night and a quality full body massage provided. The masseuse was generally quiet but conversed in decent English when promoted.

9/13/24-written 2/6/25 Before I went to Sister Spa in the…read moremonth of September, I checked out Sister Spa to see how it was doing. The small room where a massage therapist would sit to eat her meal; as well, as see who stopped by, had now been changed. No longer is that small room a room. It has become an entry point for staff and guest to walk through. I saw massage beds in the back corner of a room. This room could now be for staff, clients or both. The place had all the lights off and gave off the appearance of an abandoned building. Walking into the main entrance, I was greeted by no one. Looking around I saw the usual rooms I have gotten a massage in. The doors were open but I could not see very well because it was dark. I was starting to decided this is a bad idea when I was greeted by the massage therapist. The massage therapist looked like she hadn't gotten a lot of sleep. She aslo looked a bit disheveled. Since I don't know the massage therapist's name, I will just call her Kuchisake Yojimbo. Ms. Kuchisake Yojimbo, asked me if I have been here before, and I told her yes, but that was several years ago. Ms. Kuchisake showed me to a room I have been to before, but this time, I had a better view inside the room. Ms. Kuchisake then left the room thinking I would strip down and lay on the bed. Normally this would be the case, but I had the unpleasant feeling the sheets on the bed were reused and unsanitary. This thought did not still well with me. Turning on the lights confirmed my suspensions. From that point on, it was nothing doing. I thought I took pictures of the room, but I can't find the photos right now. Ms. Kuchisake returned to the room surprised to find me still clothed and not butt naked as she had planned. The vibes of this massage establishment weren't good and neither was my desire for a massage. Ms. Kuchisake must have sensed her chances of making a sell slip away. She offered a number of services that would get the attention of both of Lieutenant Thaddeus Harris and Cadet Carey Mahoney. I still wasn't feeling what she putting down. The idea of laying on those sheets just didn't sit well with me. Ms. Kuchisake Yojimbo was unhappy, but I did say I would come back here. I just failed to say when. I do hope the next time I am here, things will be in a better state of presentation and sanitary conditions.

My appointment for today sounded like it was going to be with Mary, but it was someone else. Mary told me waxing, shaving and trimming were all options besides massage.

Mary may not be the owner anymore, she might still work with new owner from time to time. I look forwards to getting a massage from her as well.

At first, I was a bit put off because our appointment kept getting pushed back, and since we had lunch plans, I was worried it might be delayed too much or even canceled.

I even fell asleep a couple of times, which almost never happens for me in unfamiliar places. Most importantly, I left feeling much better.

Part 2 Of 2 6/21/26…read moreTHE MASSAGE EXPERIENCE: April started not with the oil, but rather a massage with forearms over my neck and back. She kept this up with steady pressure. The pressure was good, that I might have fallen asleep. However, there was a light tap on the door before April's sister Wontu showed up. Won't enteted the room and the two hands massage became a four hands massage instead. April and Wontu did not preform an synchronize massage working from my neck down. Instead, April continued working on my back, lower back and top of my gluteus maximus. Wontu started working on my feet and slowly worked her way up to my gluteus maximus. The pressure was just right from both ladies. It has been a while since I had four hands massage, but the offer was there, and I took it. Not bad for my first time here and it's double the flavor and double the fun... a reffence to an old commercial if you know what I am talking about. Wontu's massage continued up my legs as April finished with my arms. The leg stretches and the arm stretches were most enjoyable, seeing as my body was twisted in different directions with decent pressure and force. Having two women working on my gluteus maximus and thighs is..., was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had. Having my gluteus maximus massaged, stretch and squeeze like Play-Doh at the same time for each cheek is a rare experience. I will have to do it again. The team of Wontu and April then switched positions and massage continued. The witched between soft touch to medium massage made the massage different and enjoyable. The touch was a good touch. My Erectile Dysfunction would have prevented me for doing anything even if it were a bad touch. Yeah, it sucks, but life goes on. I am digressing here... I would like to say both April and Wontu used the minimum amount of oil to get the job done. If you wish to have more oil on you, simple speak up and let them know. If you do Four Hands Massage, each lady equals 30 minutes each. I decided I would do 90 minutes for Four Hands Massage, but it eventually turned into 2 hours. April ended up doing the last 30 minutes by herself. Wontu talked me into adding 30 minutes more. All of this happen, but not before turn over with the cloth still covering me. I choose to keep the oil that was used on my skin because it wasn't a lot. I also don't tend to use hot towels if they aren't inside the massage room already. I go with paper towels in the room. It keeps the massage therapist in the room and I do not experience possible moldy smelling wash cloths. It all works out. Once on my back, Wontu started massaging my neck and shoulders while April massaged my feet. The relaxation could have put me to sleep, yet again, but I have discovered something when you do fall asleep during massage. You miss all the heavenly glory of the massage. I feel like I cheated myself out of experiencing the massage even though it feels great. So I did not fall asleep during the great massage. April continued working my legs to inner thighs as the pressure got stronger to accommodate for the larger muscles. Wontu worked on my chest and stomach with just the right amount of pressure. To much pressure and you might end up needing to use the bathroom in a serious way, or end up soiling yourself on the massage table. Luckily, I have not experienced the soiling myself on a massage table...., but I am digressing yet again. Wontu and April switched positions yet again. The massage continued until it's climactic conclusion. The four hands massage had me wanting more, but alas, I just couldn't do that. Wontu and April's Four Hands Massage is one you will want to try out at least once. If you do want to experience this massage, you are better off calling and setting up this kind of appointment instead of a walkin like I did. I have been to this establishment one other time after this experience and both April and Wontu did a one hour session with me. I can write an account on this experience if you would like. As of now, 5 Stars for this outstanding experience.

Visited this location on 2/17/24. Written on 7/29/24…read more Today I had an appointment with Mioh. I discovered it means Beatuiful, Keep, Hold. This place is located where Oriental Massage (bad name for a spa) and Yi Z Spa use to reside.  Now Katy Aromatherapy Spa stands in it's spot. Mioh greeted me in very...(I forgot what she was wearing. To much time has elapsed) Nevermind.   I was lead to a room near the front door and this place definitely had a make over since the last time I was here. The red-light effect has been abolished. The door to room I have been inside before now has a double door, but only the inside door really works.  I got the impression this is Mioh's living quarters when she is not with a client.  I hope I am wrong on this thought. Nevertheless, while preparing for my massage I noticed some things that stood out to me.  1. One of the former names of this business still is posted on the wall next to the current one. 2. The cost of getting a massage is broken down by 30mins ($50), 45mins ($60), 60mins ($70), 90mins ($110)and 120mins ($130).  All of this told me this isn't including tip money. 3. Upon seeing the options on the wall, I saw the massage station with a pack of Crown Condoms front and center. Cost of doing business has just gone up...should you ladies and gentleman wish it so. I also like the purple covers used for the massage table. 4. The time clock is very visible considering it is next to the pack of Trojans...excuse me, Crown Condoms. This is for you and the masseuse to keep an eye on incase there is a disagreement on your massage session time.  5. There is a make shift bed/couch  in the corner where I suspect Mioh spends her nights sleeping on.  6. The clothing on the back of the door has the makings for this place to live and work.  If the clues weren't enough, I went through with the massage I paid for to get more information on this place. THE MASSAGE EXPERIENCE: Alexander Pope once said "Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed." This is all fine and dandy, but the massage wasn't the best I ever had.  Mioh, didn't bother with the draping of my body, so if you are into draping or Body shy, tell her you would like a sheet/towel. "Heartbreak is one thing, My egos another, I beg you don't embarass me, Mother fucker ahhh." Okay,  I had to put that last quote in from Sabrina Carpenter's Please Please Please. Back to the matter at hand. Mioh's Massage started out strong but gradually dropped down to a soft body rub. Mioh, was very talkative and very polite.  I enjoyed the conversations we had, but I have since 2/17/24 forgotten what we talked about...except for the icing on the cake...to be explained later...Who says talking is overrated?  Mioh does know how to do Thai Stretching. I found this relaxing mixed in with the leg and glutes massage. I did not have a sore shoulder and arm like I am having now, but I applaud her effort for trying to get rid of the thighs pains. The foot massage was epic.  I reccomend getting one if you come here. Finally, for the Coup De Gracie or Icing On The Cake, the cost for extra service...should you wish it,...keep in mind it has been a while so the prices may have changed. Here we go Marvin Gaye "And if you feel like I feel, baby, Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon, whoa..."= $300 Hootie and the Blowfish: Hold My Hand = $100 Double Jeopardy: Travis Lehman : [Travis begins to talk in a higher voice]  Speaking of giving out personal information does your employer know that you used to perform the art of..." Orbe : Okay. Okay, Shut Up! =$200 Kanye West&Jamie Foxx "She take my money when I'm in need Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed Oh, she's a gold digger Way over town that digs on me."=...$Unknown FINAL OBSERVATION: The new look of this place is better than what this business looked like before. The bathroom looked like nothing had been changed.  The mirror to the bathroom wasn't entirely closed and I saw what was behind the mirror. The Hello Kitty Toothbrush was a nice touch. Overall I give this experience here at Kathy Aromatherapy Spa a three stars. The bonus/tips (if you aquire them) can get costly. If not, then $70 for an hour is worth the price of admission.

*Part 2 of 2* 9/13/24…read moreThe Massage Experience: Lisa my masseuse (whose name I found out later) wore a red tube dress...no...skirt with black pokeadots. She had to adjust her dress 8 times from when I started paying attention to this. The massage started out decent enough with the pressure points through the towel, but I had a feeling it wouldn't last. Well Golly Wally I was right. The massage went from firm to soft strokes. Yes, there is different strokes for different folks, but come on,... going over the same spot with no real knowledge of the human body...this is sad. Nevertheless, I wanted to see what Lisa could do, so I stayed quiet and let her do her thing. Lisa didn't over use the oil she had. The glutes massage was better than expected, but there was no real pressure until I asked. The towel covering me was removed not long after she started on my lower back. I am not shy about my body, but there are many who might not be comfortable about that. I don't picture other women going to this massage place, but I am willing to buy a Steeler shirt if I am wrong on this. I would have to see an actual review and photo of the woman on Yelp. Not a picture of something else but her in general. This isn't going to happen so I don't have to worry about this. Well since the Cincinnati Bengals lost this Sunday, the previous bet is now voided. I am digressing...let's move on. Back on track. Legs massage wasn't much of anything, but was relaxing when she did massage them.. The feet were skipped entirely. I was asked to turn over and I did. Lisa main goal now was to get her money for a tip. This is why I deliberately kept my eyes closed. More could have happened, but it's not what I wanted. I did not go the Full Monty, but others have and will. "For this I am sure." The best part of the masssge was the shoulders massage. This is when the press was turn on and Lisa knew what she was doing. I was offered a hot towels, but if Lisa had to leave the room in order to get a towel, i just prefer to have paper hand towels rubbed on me to get the extra oil off me. In this case, 96 percent of the body cream had absorbed into my skin. I have had bad experiences with the hot towel smelling bad and then the scent is left on one's skin. After The Massage: After the massage I used the bathroom and it looked good. However, I did see a tooth brush on the sink. This leads me to believe the ladies live here. I now think about the hours the business is open. I don't like where my mind is going. I truly hope I am wrong. I don't know if body scrub is done here and at this point don't care. Lisa was pleasant and out going. Thank you for the massage Lisa. I am not sure I will be back again. Well that is about all I have to say for now....oh, one more thing.
