***Cue Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body"***
DAMN!! This place is STILL LEGIT!! I've driven by once or twice since covid started, and of course it was closed. With the ban having been lifted recently, I decided to call in and see if they were open. The lady who answered was really sweet, and said they close at 9pm. Cool! I wasn't sure if I would have time but once I found they closed pretty late, I was ALL IN! Texted a buddy to see if they wanted to tag along...called the lady back and made our appointment for 5pm. It's located right next to Poke 'n Salad on Ynez across from TJMaxx and other retailers.
We arrived about 12 minutes late, but they didn't say anything about it. The lady had a bottle of hand sanitizer and put some on our hands. She then took our temperatures. Good to go, so we were escorted to our room. She asked if we were cold, and I was a little, so she put us in the back room. There was a little heater in the corner which she turned on for us. That was nice and I appreciated it. She left us to undress and hop on the tables face down. I'm a lot smaller than when I first came, so the size of the towel wasn't an issue this time around. The room is small but the two massage tables fit nicely side by side. There is a wall unit where you can put your clothes and other belongings. After a few minutes (and of course when I was done getting my pics, lol) she came back in with her partner and the two of them got to work on us at the same time.
Susan hit my trouble spots just right and I moaned a couple times...no shame in my game!! LOL! She felt my knots and kinks and got all that lactic acid build up out. Maybe I need to chill out on my workouts?! All I know is, I said "Oh my God!" once, and "Oh my goodness!" another time, lol. She did a great job using long strokes with her arms and elbows, and busted out some oil toward the end. That oil rub down was true heaven! I still keep my undies on during a massage, but heck, I think this place is worth going commando for!! Best believe I will on my next visit! I also got the same butt rub like last time, and it was a bit ticklish but very relaxing (keep singing with me... "Touch my body, Know you like my curves, C'mon and give me what I deserve"). She mostly worked above my waist, and did everything from my back, arms, hands, shoulders, neck and all the way up to my scalp. That scalp massage felt so good! She did a quick massage on my legs and ended with a hot towel on my back along with a rub down over it. This was the end of the first half hour "body massage." When we were done, we got dressed and headed out to the foot massage area.
The same plush recliners remain, each draped with fresh towels. I got comfy and rolled up my leggings above my knees. Susan tucked me in with one of those soft and cuddly blankets you get from overseas. There was a bucket of hot water where you put your feet in to soak for a minute or two. After that, she started working on my legs and feet. I fell asleep for a bit because it was dark in the room, and her hands were doing some serious magic! They did not offer the barley tea this time around, but that's probably due to covid. When it was over, she let me take my time getting my shoes back on.
Bottom line: if you want a great massage at an affordable price, COME HERE!! Or don't...so it won't be so busy that I can't get in, haha! Kidding, but not! Price increased by a dollar from last year but hey, I will happily pay $40 for a 1 hour combo massage! This is one of those hole-in-the-wall places, so you know for sure it's good. Plus I said so, so there's that, lol. If you're used to those fufu joints, this may not be a good fit for you. I don't care if you don't have a certificate, degree, whatever...if you have magic hands and can deliver what I need, we are going to be friends and Susan is my friend =). I paid about 3x more at a fancy place in OC a few months ago and it was nowhere near what I got here. Very highly recommend this place! Maybe I'll get to be crowned Duchess one day...heehee...stay tuned! =P
ETA: They do a great job with covid protocols here. Everyone is masked and as I sat down for my foot massage, they were on top of things! They wasted no time and stripped our massage tables down and took the sheets to the laundry room. Efficient, safe and professional! read more
