Today is my first time here, but one of the Masseuse recognized me immediately. Her American name…read moreis Kathy and I met her at the former Comfort Spot on Lee Highway which is now called Massage Therapy & Spa.
I have read bad reviews on this place, but I did not meet one of the ladies that thought she was entitled to a tip. Because Kathy and I recognized each other, things went more smoothly, than it could have been. Kathy already knew what pressure, but checked with me to make sure.
It had been three years since I had seen here, but apparently my looks haven't chenged. What has changed is Kathy's knowledge of the English language and how good she is at it now. Her hair was short when I met her before, but now it is long and she seems to be in management now...at least this is how it seems to me.
Upon arriving at the store, I saw new doors being installed and no one was out front because of the noise. There is; however, a doorbell to ring at the front counter. There are also cameras pointed at you too.
The waiting area isn't bad, but the seating area was in use by the construction workers. Don't know if there as ever been a full house here, but there are four massage rooms from what I saw.
Since I woke up early for work, I did not shower, because I had an easy 5 hour day today. I was planning on showering after work, but my boss called me and now I am working 11 shift today...cool, but I want a shower....since Jiafu offers body scrub, table shower and massage, I went with the table shower to get rid of some of the grime off me before the massage.
Kathy lead me to the back corner of the store and upon entering the room, I saw it was nearly pitch dark. Regardless of the red light being on in the room. Turning on my flashlight, I was able to see where I could put my clothes.
After undressing I was lead to the shower room which doubles as bathroom and laundry room was well. Disrobing and hanging the black robe on a hook, I climbed on top of the table a lay down. Kathy sprayed the table with hot water so the water mattress wouldn't be cold to the touch.
A small towel was place where one's genitals would touch the table... I know it's a small detail, but I thought I would mention it. Not all places would do this small gesture.
The warm water hit my body, but I asked her to make the water a little warmer. She complied, and the water felt even better on my skin.
Kathy was very thorough. When I say thorough it means she cleaned between the buttcheeks and cleaned the genitals too. Something that goes beyond the call of duty...I am sure she would have done this with the body scrub too, but I didn't ask for that.
Once the table shower was done, Kathy dried me off. Something I heard happen to a woman client at Ethiopia Massage. Her review comes to minds as this is happening to me.
Kathy was thorough again with the back massage too. I nearly fell asleep, when I hear a very obnoxious noise coming from the dry cleaners next door. The beeping continued for 45 minutes of the massage and I could not really relax.
Katy told me she has talked to the owner about this, but the owner can't do anything about this.
This is something to take into account if your going to get a massage here.
Also, the $50 massage is for either body massage or foot massage for 40 minutes only. The signs you might see around Sterling won't tell you this. It is mentioned online about this special.
On my way out, I met Lucy who smiled and wished to massage me next time. I might take her up on the request, but I will call first to make sure she is there.
This place wasn't bad for me, unless you count the annoying beeping noise from the cleaners.
I will give this place two more times before I move on....ask for Kathy should you decide stop by here. I haven't experienced what Lucy can do yet, but I will hope to have an answer to this in about two weeks time.
