It took me almost 28 years to realise why women so often went for their ritual spa treatment. I've…read morealways thought, that's a girl thing... like playing football is a guy thing. But picture this - hot, sore, blisters on one's feet, or relaxed, revitalized, and no more back pain. Ok, I fully understand it's not fair to compare the two... so why not do both?
Pure Touch, though mainly for women, also caters to men. I know this because I was lucky enough to be recommended the place by a friend. As I stepped into the establishment I was instantly soothed, like stepping through a portal into a different dimension. The fragrance and soft music combined perfectly to make me feel, "oh... that's nice." A moment later and I was introduced to the owner, Joji. The petite woman went on to explain to me the different types of services they provide, from foot massage (no thanks), to couple massage, and then a bunch of girly stuff, facials, manis, pedis, etc. Joji reassured me that the products they used were of the best quality, in fact she just got back from the US where to buys them almost every month. To be honest that meant little to me, and still does.
I opted for a body massage. Now normally I enjoy when the massage is over because the pain has finally stopped - the pain of being jabbed by fingers and elbows in all my sore spots! This massage was different. The masseuse actually listened, and because of such I finished the hour feeling more limber than I had in years, and extremely tired.
On the way out I thanked Joji, she was in the middle of her own pedicure at the time, she waved goodbye with a big smile. She knew I'd be back... and I dare not prove her wrong!
