I tried calling but no answer. Has anyone heard an update about this place?
[QUOTE=Wdemg;5319291]Drove about an hour out to Matteson to try Crystal Spa. That report earlier really got me interested. Unfortunately when I got there it was closed. Seems like the business isn't gone, but a handwritten note on the door says they'll be closed for awhile and to take deliveries next door or something. Just thought I'd share incase others want to take the trip out there.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Heathwood;5394498]I tried calling but no answer. Has anyone heard an update about this place?[/QUOTE]I was there last week. Monday. Still closed.
[QUOTE=NiceChicaGaGuy;5395293]I was there last week. Monday. Still closed.[/QUOTE]This is not the first time they have disappeared for awhile. Early April I reported (#1830) there were reviews out there that they had closed for good, although that may have been a COVID closure. I got lots of feedback that they were actually back open, so I stopped by to see for sure, and they were closed with nothing looked like anybody had been there. That was late April. Later I saw again on this board that they were open. It seems strange that they come and go. Maybe a lack of help? I'll keep watching here, and will definitely swing by again and update when I am in the area. I was not (yet) a regular, but I had been there enough to know it was or is one of our best options. Hope to see them back soon!

I was her regular for a handful of years (awesome, by the way); but she had been making noise about managing rather than delivering for quite some time. The last phone pickup for me was April or so and it was her. Sure enough. She said she wasn't seeing customers anymore. Since she's no longer their workaholic it makes sense that they just can't staff the place.
Stopped in Seoul this last week. Crazy busy. Wanted an hour, paid the house, then led to wait in a storage room. After 15 min, MS tells me only getting a half hour. Was a little ticked, but was already there, and the girl was getting room ready, so only 5 minutes. Turned out to be another 15! The MT was adorable, young, fit, and a glorious attitude. The massage, though her technique was great, was way too short. The flip came, and again, technique was amazing! She started changing linen while I dressed. Dropped tip and out the door. Total time there, 1 hr 10 min, total massage time, 23 min. (Also, told no time for shower). IMHO, not worth the price tag for 30 min. I probably won't be returning, but as we know YMMV. Happy Hunting.
Had a massage from Candy at NE. My experiences there have generally been positive. Not so much this time. Shower was out of service. Candy was my lady for the hour, fully masked the whole time. I would give her an A for effort, she really worked at it. Sadly I would rate technique at C. Not sure I would repeat with her.
Is SS safe to go? I saw reports people seeing LE leave the parking lot.
[QUOTE=Runner9890;5442949]Is SS safe to go? I saw reports people seeing LE leave the parking lot.[/QUOTE]Somebody on the sb forum wrote some bullshit story about FS there, I called bullshit. Drove by there twice tonight. Not one vehicle in the parking lot and MMS was out picking up trash.
Is sun in MC worth the trip? I've seen conflicting reports. I'm looking for anything more than a L1, with Crystals still apparently closed Sun might be the best bet? Or if anyone knows anywhere else, even if it's Illinois please pm me. Thank you.

Always had it offered every time I was there.

Are SS sessions still 30 minutes?
[QUOTE=JamesF;5446265]Are SS sessions still 30 minutes?[/QUOTE]I called the other day to make sure they are still open, they said hh only. $40.
First visit at Soul in several months. Spied a very cure looking spinner type that I had not seen there before but Mammasan gave me probably the biggest Asian massage therapist I have ever seen. Most seem around 5 ft this one was probably 5'6 with a stocky build like a hammer thrower or power lifter. I thought Mamasan called her Stacy but she said her name was Coffee and made a gesture tipping a cup. I know Mamasan told her I needed just a massage and that is all I got or was looking for, girl could have really put the hurt on me but it was just a great technical massage with a lot of force. She even walked on my back.
Google and Yelp are both saying crystals is permanently closed. And the number is disconnected.
Hopefully they pop up in a new location soon.
