Hello everyone,
First time posting. Thankful for this forum. Found it yesterday and read 200 pages back in this thread. Had my first experience yesterday and wanted to share and also ask advice.
Went to Chi. First time. I've never gotten a massage before other than a chain like Massage Envy. I called and asked for a 90 minutes apt the day prior and confirmed a time and price. 30 minutes foot, 60 minutes body. I have sore feet and a back injury. So really my massage was needed but also was open to more.
Arrived and told them about my appointment. They kindly asked me to wait 10 minutes. No problem. Place seems clean and I noticed they have a camera that appears to be recording the waiting area.
A few Asian women came through the waiting area. Some better than others. Sadly I ended up with what I felt was the ugliest and oldest of them all. Told me her name was 'Jenny'. Mid to late 40's maybe? Skinny but I just wasn't feeling it. Directed me to the room directly to the left of the desk. There appear to be more rooms down a hall. I should say I'm not crazy about this room as you hear the loud chime of the front door opening every time and the occasional Chinese being spoken in the waiting area.
I was told by what seemed to be the boss woman (Michelle / Lily maybe, given what I've read in past posts?) after entering the room to keep my underwear on and she confirmed what I wanted and the price. (95 total for feet and body, 90 minutes total).
Jenny comes in and directs me to lay down face down. I show her my problem area on my back and she starts to massage me. She's doing a good but not great job. I didn't expect legit spa level service so it's fine. There is no teasing, no signs I'm going to get anything more. The only thing I notice is that at certain points her leg is up against my arm and I find myself gently gripping her leg. She's also sniffing her nose about every 3 minutes and I'm really wishing I had a different girl. About 30 or 45 minutes later, she asks me to flip over. Probably closer to 45. I flip over and shortly after the door opens and Jenny leaves and 'Lucy' is now going to take over. I have no idea why this girl was now leaving. Lucy is younger and hotter so I'm thrilled, but it was bizarre. The owner came in and started saying things to Jenny in Chinese and before you know it Jenny is gone and hello Lucy.
So I tell Lucy please do my legs and finish with my feet. Yes no problem she says. She starts to rub my feet and shins and I'm thinking okay she will work her way up, HJ, and then 30 minutes on my feet. Nope. She just massaged my lower legs a little and then gave me a wonderful foot massage for 30 minutes. I had lost track of time so when she finished with my feet I said 'no legs'? And she said oh time is up, next time baby. Sure enough 90 minutes had gone by quickly but I was super disappointed.
I'm planning on going back soon and calling beforehand and requesting Lucy. Some questions for you all.
If I get a 60 minutes body, 30 minute foot massage again, does it imply I don't want an HJ? Are HJ's usually only considered for 30 min massage, or does that not matter?
What will be the best way to tell Lucy what I want? Touch her legs while I'm face down? I see there are several Chi reviews on rubjobs, including specifically for Lucy, and people here have talked about her. So clearly she is open to this. (I don't have a RJ account, seems like a shady site, not crazy about providing them CC info, but would love to read their Chi reviews.).
Answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
