I even fell asleep a couple of times, which almost never happens for me in unfamiliar places. Most importantly, I left feeling much better.

I booked a foot massage and said I wanted my feet and calves done…read more I had Jessica. She focused WAYY too much on my shins and the tops of my feet. And there was not nearly enough attention given to the soles of my feet or my calves. I think part of the problem was that I was in a chair. She told me "more better next time" "more deeper massage on table" I asked if shed rather me lay on a table, she declined..... I was uncomfortable and unable to communicate my needs as she didn't understand much besides the few times I was in so much pain I had to pull away. I see good reviews, so maybe it's just the one massage therapist. I didn't want her to touch my back or shoulders but I was so sore from work that I allowed her.. Jessica was far too aggressive on my shoulders and I'm upset that I allowed the massage to go past 25 min.. I thought it would get better but I was sadly disappointed. I went to massage therapy school for a while and have been getting them for some time. I've never been this sore after a massage. I don't usually have the extra money to do massage anymore. So I'm not sure when I'll have the opportunity again.. if I do try spirit again, I'll certainly be opting for a different therapist... I hope you have a better experience.. and I'd love an opportunity to have a better one.

My appointment for today sounded like it was going to be with Mary, but it was someone else. Mary told me waxing, shaving and trimming were all options besides massage.

Mary may not be the owner anymore, she might still work with new owner from time to time. I look forwards to getting a massage from her as well. Mary was informative and friendly when I met her a few days ago. I thank her for taking my walk in and schulduling for today 11/23/18. Look forwards to seeing you again under the new name of the store.

Part 2 Of 2 6/21/26…read moreTHE MASSAGE EXPERIENCE: April started not with the oil, but rather a massage with forearms over my neck and back. She kept this up with steady pressure. The pressure was good, that I might have fallen asleep. However, there was a light tap on the door before April's sister Wontu showed up. Won't enteted the room and the two hands massage became a four hands massage instead. April and Wontu did not preform an synchronize massage working from my neck down. Instead, April continued working on my back, lower back and top of my gluteus maximus. Wontu started working on my feet and slowly worked her way up to my gluteus maximus. The pressure was just right from both ladies. It has been a while since I had four hands massage, but the offer was there, and I took it. Not bad for my first time here and it's double the flavor and double the fun... a reffence to an old commercial if you know what I am talking about. Wontu's massage continued up my legs as April finished with my arms. The leg stretches and the arm stretches were most enjoyable, seeing as my body was twisted in different directions with decent pressure and force. Having two women working on my gluteus maximus and thighs is..., was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had. Having my gluteus maximus massaged, stretch and squeeze like Play-Doh at the same time for each cheek is a rare experience. I will have to do it again. The team of Wontu and April then switched positions and massage continued. The witched between soft touch to medium massage made the massage different and enjoyable. The touch was a good touch. My Erectile Dysfunction would have prevented me for doing anything even if it were a bad touch. Yeah, it sucks, but life goes on. I am digressing here... I would like to say both April and Wontu used the minimum amount of oil to get the job done. If you wish to have more oil on you, simple speak up and let them know. If you do Four Hands Massage, each lady equals 30 minutes each. I decided I would do 90 minutes for Four Hands Massage, but it eventually turned into 2 hours. April ended up doing the last 30 minutes by herself. Wontu talked me into adding 30 minutes more. All of this happen, but not before turn over with the cloth still covering me. I choose to keep the oil that was used on my skin because it wasn't a lot. I also don't tend to use hot towels if they aren't inside the massage room already. I go with paper towels in the room. It keeps the massage therapist in the room and I do not experience possible moldy smelling wash cloths. It all works out. Once on my back, Wontu started massaging my neck and shoulders while April massaged my feet. The relaxation could have put me to sleep, yet again, but I have discovered something when you do fall asleep during massage. You miss all the heavenly glory of the massage. I feel like I cheated myself out of experiencing the massage even though it feels great. So I did not fall asleep during the great massage. April continued working my legs to inner thighs as the pressure got stronger to accommodate for the larger muscles. Wontu worked on my chest and stomach with just the right amount of pressure. To much pressure and you might end up needing to use the bathroom in a serious way, or end up soiling yourself on the massage table. Luckily, I have not experienced the soiling myself on a massage table...., but I am digressing yet again. Wontu and April switched positions yet again. The massage continued until it's climactic conclusion. The four hands massage had me wanting more, but alas, I just couldn't do that. Wontu and April's Four Hands Massage is one you will want to try out at least once. If you do want to experience this massage, you are better off calling and setting up this kind of appointment instead of a walkin like I did. I have been to this establishment one other time after this experience and both April and Wontu did a one hour session with me. I can write an account on this experience if you would like. As of now, 5 Stars for this outstanding experience.

*Part 2 of 2* 9/13/24…read moreThe Massage Experience: Lisa my masseuse (whose name I found out later) wore a red tube dress...no...skirt with black pokeadots. She had to adjust her dress 8 times from when I started paying attention to this. The massage started out decent enough with the pressure points through the towel, but I had a feeling it wouldn't last. Well Golly Wally I was right. The massage went from firm to soft strokes. Yes, there is different strokes for different folks, but come on,... going over the same spot with no real knowledge of the human body...this is sad. Nevertheless, I wanted to see what Lisa could do, so I stayed quiet and let her do her thing. Lisa didn't over use the oil she had. The glutes massage was better than expected, but there was no real pressure until I asked. The towel covering me was removed not long after she started on my lower back. I am not shy about my body, but there are many who might not be comfortable about that. I don't picture other women going to this massage place, but I am willing to buy a Steeler shirt if I am wrong on this. I would have to see an actual review and photo of the woman on Yelp. Not a picture of something else but her in general. This isn't going to happen so I don't have to worry about this. Well since the Cincinnati Bengals lost this Sunday, the previous bet is now voided. I am digressing...let's move on. Back on track. Legs massage wasn't much of anything, but was relaxing when she did massage them.. The feet were skipped entirely. I was asked to turn over and I did. Lisa main goal now was to get her money for a tip. This is why I deliberately kept my eyes closed. More could have happened, but it's not what I wanted. I did not go the Full Monty, but others have and will. "For this I am sure." The best part of the masssge was the shoulders massage. This is when the press was turn on and Lisa knew what she was doing. I was offered a hot towels, but if Lisa had to leave the room in order to get a towel, i just prefer to have paper hand towels rubbed on me to get the extra oil off me. In this case, 96 percent of the body cream had absorbed into my skin. I have had bad experiences with the hot towel smelling bad and then the scent is left on one's skin. After The Massage: After the massage I used the bathroom and it looked good. However, I did see a tooth brush on the sink. This leads me to believe the ladies live here. I now think about the hours the business is open. I don't like where my mind is going. I truly hope I am wrong. I don't know if body scrub is done here and at this point don't care. Lisa was pleasant and out going. Thank you for the massage Lisa. I am not sure I will be back again. Well that is about all I have to say for now....oh, one more thing.

7/16/23 Star Therapy…read moreMassage has had its star masseuse Jessica working here for a little over a year.   Jessica instantly remembered me the moment I walked through the door. Jessica remind me of someone body that I used to know. I even thought she was someone else, but was later informed she is not the same Jessica I was thinking of. Still, Jessica look very close to the woman in the red dress featured in the picture I took with the new prices for massage. Today, I was shown into the Autumn Room and it looked nice. It is very spacious with two massage chair/couches.  In the center is the massage table.  The Massage table wasn't  heated from what I saw. It is also Summer time and the heat wasn't needed for the massage table if there is one. I noticed the large window is heavily layered to keep out the sunlight.    The Massage: Covering the body is not necessarily a requirement, but can be done if you are not comfortable with being exposed...so to speak. Jessica asked me what kind of pressure I wanted and I went with medium pressure.   Lotion, oil or neither are your choices.   I went with the oil, but I think next time I will go without oil and lotion.   Ashiatsu (backpack massage) is an option, but Jessica didn't incorporate this option into my massage.  Jessica used her forearms  for my back , glutes, but I preferred her hands to Jessica's forearms.  Jessica massaged my legs and feet.    Jessica continued her massage checking to see if I wanted her to pressure to be harder or softer.   I am glad to say Jessica wasn't interrupted  with phone calls or someone else ringing the doorbell.  There is also no time clock is in the room, but there is a clock in the room.  Check your time before the massage starts. Hot towels supplied inside a heat box were applied to my body to remove the excess oil on by body.   Flipping over onto my back Jessica again asked if I wanted oil, lotion or nothing.  I went with oil and Jessica began her work. The stomach massage and chest massage were great.  Yet, the foot massage nearly put me to sleep.  The soft massage is another trick that can put someone to sleep.  It did not happen with me, because I wanted to be awake for the massage. Not fall asleep through it.  Jessica did the hot towel thing again before ending the massage.  Upon standing up, I felt some pain in my back. Jessica was able to massage my back again and removed the tight muscles in my lower back. I truly appreciate this Jessica.   I will definitely return here for another session.   I found it humorous an ironic that we were both wearing red and black outfits on this particular day.   What are the odds of this happening?
