I'll start by saying that I'm a foot massage parlor frequenter. This is definitely not my first time going, but my first time actually reviewing one of these places..... hopefully more to come!
My boyfriend and I came here on Saturday evening before Date Night. This was our second time at this location.
Deets:
Cost = $15 cash or $16 credit for a 60 minute full body massage
Reflexology = Nope
Atmosphere = I'd give it a B- or C+ depending on the time of day
Chairs = Not sure what the official name is but the kind where it's a flat bed with a hole in the top for your face. Not the reclining chair kind (thank goodness)
Open room = Yes
Private rooms = Yes.....
Hot oil for back = Yes
Latex gloves = No (my preference anyway)
Lotion = Lightly used, if any, otherwise they massage naturally (dry)
The store front faces on to Westminster Blvd., but there's a back entrance behind the building with plenty of free parking. We made an appointment for 2 people and requested a guy for me and a girl for him. I feel that girls' hands are too small and fragile (or they're too rough and awkward) but I digress.... We ended up getting 2 girls :-\ Not sure of her name, but my girl starts in. Pressure's off so I let her know and she kindly readjusts. Here's the low down on how they do their massages here:
-You start sitting on the foot rest for a shoulder and upper back massage
-Then you lay face down for an amazing full back massage complete with her sitting on your butt and straddling your back (sort of erotic, keep it real)
-Then you flip over on your back for a scalp massage followed by arms, legs, and feet
-You end on your back (Personally, I like ending on my tummy but the full back massage while laying down is phenomenal.)
This place has 4 sections to their shop. The open section where we've been twice now has 4 or 6 flat beds. Then there are "private" rooms separated by curtains right across the hall. There's an area with 6 or 8 leather reclining chairs if you prefer that kind of set up, and then there's another area where they have more flat beds but it looks like those are for private groups. The part that sucks about the open area is that you hear everything going on. The back door that leads to the laundry area and where the employees hang out slams EVERY FRICKIN TIME and is beyond annoying. Besides that, it's dimly lit with cheap decor (what do you really expect for $15?) and soft tunes in the background. Because it's all open air space separated by folding screens and curtains, you can hear the conversations going on, which is odd in of itself. Guys, if you're in a private session, there's really no need to talk to your lady about how great she is because it makes it incredibly awkward for everyone else listening in, wondering if you're about to get hooked up with a happy ending. It's too bad the lobby doesn't have a separate area because you can hear the people who are finished paying their bill and that can be a bit distracting too.
All in all this place is $15 and you're getting your money's worth. Be prepared to sacrifice a few things like silence and true reflexology techniques because both of those are non-existent. read more
