[QUOTE=ScienceFair;6863032]Went to ivy on Merriman. Asked for a half hour, and the very very cute young woman barely spoke to English. She was wearing jeans an a white t shirt which seemed odd but hey. So I get comfortable and lay down. She comes back and sets my change on the table and covers me completely with the towel. Nothing too strange so we forge ahead. Does a pretty good legit massage and doesn't seem to mind me touching over the clothes. About 15 minutes in she hasn't made any moves for a flip and I ask remind her I wanted a half hour. Few minutes of phone translator and I think we finally got the message across. I had someplace I had to be so I watched the clock and asked to flip. She asked if I wanted a head massage and I pointed to where I did want massaged. She said she only did regular massage, and couldn't help me. At that point she was giving me a good head massage and I started handling things myself first under the towel and then I moved the towel. She rubbed my head and shoulders and watched. She never protested but never helped.
When I was done I cleaned up and to her credit she had brought me back a $20 bill. I paid with the hundred, she brought 40 back because she thought it was an hour. I gave that 20 to her for watching nicely and headed out.
I know I've had more there but wondering if they have gone completely legit or is it just this lady?[/QUOTE]I visited Ivy recently and was shocked that the gal tried to cover me with a towel. I asked for the towel off and she complied. The massage was unremarkable until she gave me some oil to do self-service. I objected and gave back the oil. She whispered somethinbg in my ear that I took to mean to be quiet. And she said something about being fired. I remained silent and she took care of me. No tip was requested at any time be her. I left 50. I don't think I want to go back to Ivy.
