*Part 2 of 2* 1/26/25…read moreTHE MASSAGE: Cici (The Blonde in the light pink dress who squeezed my glutes) my therapist liked the feel of my skin and complimented me on this. She has obviously been in the dark dark massage palor longer that I, so she saw more details of my body than I could see her. Only her dress stood out in this dark dark room with the dark dark setting mood. Cici began her preliminary massage targeting my neck and shoulders. The amount of pressure she used was fantastic. She checked with me to see if I needed more, less or the same pressure. I appreciated this. I noticed when Cici talked, her pronunciations of every word she spoke was crystal clear. This woman is more than she appears to be. She sound like one of my college professor from Marshall University. Cici moved down to my lower back and glutes without using oil or lotion. Remember, this is still the preliminaries of the massage. Kneading my back and butt felt great with steady pressure. There were times Cici climbed on the table to apply more pressure and this was welcomed. Cici got down to my calves and feet, but did not go 100% in on my feet. This was targeted for later on.. When the preliminaries ended, oil was rubbed on to her hands to warm the oil up before applying it to my skin. Cici started back again on my neck and worked on my shoulders and neck. From time to time Cici asked some questions to pass the time. Once again Cici's knowledge of the English language was on expert level. I think she knows more things than she let's on in front of her colleague Anna. The back massage with oil was great, but not enough ws used on the glutes. The feeling of friction started happening and I asked for more oil. Cici obliged. Cici switch up her strokes, pressure and styles for the massage she was doing. This came in handy while massaging my shoulder, chest and stomach. The massage was getting good when my hour ended. This was to be 90 minutes which was cut short. I did see one guy waiting for his massage who had fallen asleep waiting for Cici to finish with me. My wife's massage ended up being longer, because Anna had to answer the door when guest came calling. My wife also said she saw Anna paying more attention to watching the clock then massaging her. There is a name for this. Clock Watcher or CW. Nevertheless, I guess Anna preferred massaging men than women. Possibly not massaging couples together or individually. This is just a guess. The cost dropped down to $140 with a $20 tip for each lady. Both lady were very polite dispite the non commitment of the 90 minutes we wanted to get. We might just come back here again. I look forward to reading someone else Review on here. Overall, I give this place 4 stars, but 5 stars for the very convenient parking area for this business.

This shop is on Lake City Way and 137th. There isn't a big sign, but you can find it if you pay attention. There's parking on the side of the building they are in. It's always a plus for me! They are very accommodating! My sister and I wanted to stay in the same room next to each other. And, they made it happen! They had a portable massage table set up and it's just as comfortable as the non-portable massage table. There are tons of towels and blankets. If you are cold, you can always tell them to turn on the heater. As far as the massage goes, both masseuses are good. They have pretty much the same way of how to massage in an hour. It was very relaxing. The next was even better! If you have any sore spots you want to emphasize, tell the masseuse. They will totally strengthen that part for you. Full body is $60 per hour. An appointment is highly recommended! Make sure you drink water before and after the massage (they will provide water)!

I should have followed my gut and left but the twinge in my lower back urged me to stay. The place smells like a litter box. It is not very clean. Check out the bathroom to see what I mean. It was very clear when my bare feet were on the carpet when I went to get dressed. So gross. Okay, no music but it came on when I was leaving. This means I could hear every breathe my unmasked masseuse exhaled over me (I did not realize she was unmasked while I was face down). My masseuse was unfocused and it was as if she had ADHD. She was all over the board. She was rubbing my neck and then my right leg back to me neck, my left arm (but never my left leg. That somehow got completely ignored) and back to the neck and shoulder but never my lower back. It was not calm, it was not relaxing. It was disjointed, disconnected, unfocused, amateurish. She yelled through the door in Mandarin over the top of me to someone out front. Super aggravating. My door was opened 3 times while I was unclothed so that also was deeply disturbing. The language barrier was more than problematic and I do not appreciate having to pay in advance. My one hour massage was 53 minutes and that includes the 4 times she stepped out of the room for more than 6 minutes so that means 47 minutes for a prepaid hour. Like the other reviewer stated, I almost got up and left in the middle. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. Trust me.

9/21/24 Our first…read moredisappointment  in our massage  hunt. I had first seen Lilly Massage when I was looking for massage places near Fred Meyer.   I failed to remember which Fred Meyer we visited last year. Yet I know it was a very large one near Thai Bistro.  For locals around here, you already know which one I am talking about.  Nevertheless, I picked the wrong store and ended up near Lake City Northeast.  This is where Lilly's comes into play.    Since I picked the wrong location. Since we drove to the wrong store. Since I chose Lilly's Massage close to this Fred Meyer, ... let the game begin...Oh and the former restaurant know as Green Papaya restaurant Vietnamese Cuisine. We noticed after arriving at Lilly's Massage, the parking lot is shared with a car repair shop.  It could also be storage for a car dealership too. The building's neon signs were lit up except for the open sign.  I missed this key peice of information.    Upon ring the door bell,  my wife first saw a lady open the door wearing something clicheic you have seen in the movie...like a woman wearing her boyfriend shirt.  This is what we saw along with being told she is with a client right now. Evidently,  there are only two women working there, or she's  the only one. I am not sure she wanted to massage my wife, but rather a male instead.  This is just one thought and not fact.  Nevertheless, the therapist  was polite about letting us down gently so that there is water under the bridge. We might come back here, but I can't  say when.  Still, this has been a strike one moment on our massage hunt. Since I did not see a price online, I figured I would find out what the basic costs might be. 30mins=$50 60mins=$60 Four Hands Massage=$120  *Please include tips for whatever massage you aquire *

One might a say...,alright one did say, a bigger disappointment than the first place we found. Upon arriving here after Lilly's Spa, we quickly discovered the parking to be a huge problem. The idea of getting our car towed wasn't appealing to us, and probably wouldn't be for you. My wife decided talk to one of the therapist there and see where we could park. My wife was told by the lady at Aroma Massage (Well call the therapist Ms.Mounds) "If you want to park here, payment is required up front to aquire a parking pass in a designated spot. This will allow you to stay here for treatment longer than an hour." My wife was also informed by Ms. Mounds "parking on the side of the street is fine for one hour, but she (meaning Ms. Mounds) recently had a client who had their vichele towed less than 10 minutes into his massage." This doesn't make us feel any better. My wife doesn't like the idea of paying in advance just to get one of the therapist's parking passes. We decided to find another place. My wife wasn't to happy about the last two rejections, so if we go to one more place, it better be a good one. I don't recommend this place unless you are will to pay ahead for massage service and parking pass. Your other option is not driving and walking to this business or take your chances on street parking. The choices here is up to you. Last thing, Prices for services should you still wish to come here... 30mins=$50 60mins=$70 Four Hands Massage is an option, but call and make an appointment for this. I am guessing $120 for 30minutes and $240 for one hour. Table shower is an option. This will not include The Tip after your massage/table shower.

*Part 2 Of 2* Experiencd On 9/28/24 Written on 5/3/25…read moreTHE MASSAGE EXPERIENCE: Since I had two hours of time on my hands, Jessica Quigley took her time and worked on my neck and shoulders through the towel. This was only the preliminaries and she worked her way down my body using pressure; as well, as being up on the massage table to do this. I like it when massage therapist climb onto the table to apply direct pressure to the parts of the body that are full of tension. My right shoulder was giving me problems. At the time I don't believe I figured out the name of the issue I was having. Nevertheless, Quigley worked on my shoulders and it felt great with steady pressure. In case you are wondering what is going on with my shoulder, the problem is called Frozen Shoulder. Eventually, the preliminaries came to an end, but the massage did not. Jessica Quigley dismounted from the table and introduced massage oil to my skin. Quigley kept up the massage with steady pressure using the massage oil at will. Yes, she used a great amount of it, but my skin seemed to absorb a lot of it. Guess my skin was drier than I thought Quigley's thoroughness continued as she reached my lower back and gluteus maximus area. Through some small talk during my massage, Jessica Quigley inquired about tips. I told her in short "she was earning her tip already." My answer pleased Jessica Quigley as she continued my massage. The gluteus maximus was massaged and the oil came on thick. I did not care, because this wasn't anything new to me. Hot towels could be used at the end of the massage; however, paper towels are my preferred method. Jessica Quigley ended up removing the towel when she went to work on my glutes. I could only see her from the side, but her eyes and smile seemed to look much more alert and happy as she started started the glutes massage. Firm pressure of pressing down on my butt to, squeezing, slapping, and caressing that massage therapist do. I don't know all of the proper terminology for these techniques, but I think you get the point. Speaking of points, Jessica Quigley used pressure points the top of my buttocks, sides of my buttocks and between my cheeks. This is something not all places do. I will say, it makes one hell of a difference when this is done; as well, as leaving a lasting impression in my mind. Legs were massaged and Jessica Quigley continued using steady pressure all the way down my legs. Let's not forget about the foot. The feet were massaged too. If I had fallen asleep, I would have missed out on the rest of my massage. Turning over, Jessica Quigley, started up again with the oil massaging my neck and chest. Using different methods of soft massage, Jessica Quigley worked her way down to my stomach. I have been to some places that would not massage the chest, stomach, glutes or thighs, which caused for a horrible experience. Luckily, this wasn't an issue at Evergreen Massage. Quigley used some pressure points on my stomach. When done right, it can help clear out the unwanted food that can stick to your intestines. Time does fly when you're having fun. Two hours came and went. Jessica Quigley ended up using paper towels for the removal of extra oil on my body. I have found some massage places don't have hot towels in the massage room. On occasions some hot towels have a moldy smell to them. This is why I prefer paper towels, even if there is a hot towel machine in the room. I don't remember the exact cost of my massage, but it was worth every penny and it was under $160 with tip. I reccomend stopping by here and giving it a go
