This whole experience was just strange, from start to finish.
For starters, the woman performing the service did not introduce herself to me...to this day I still have no idea what her name was.
While the service was interesting, it was not at all the relaxing experience I had hoped for.
The ambiance was similar to that of a relaxing massage...dimmed lighting, calming music, aromatherapy oils.
However every ten minutes there was a loud buzzing sound as if a timer were going off. Instant mood killer!
Adding to the awkwardness was the strange mouth-breathing noises coming from the woman as she rubbed and poked and prodded my feet and hands. I'm telling you, if she were a man I'd have gotten up and left when she was breathing heavy and rubbing my feet. I was more than uncomfortable.
But the topper was at the end of the service when she stood there starting at me, waiting for the tip. I do not tip out of obligation. I tip on the quality of service and overall experience. So I played naive and just thanked her and left, as I didn't know how to tell her that the entire experience was just no bueno. read more
