I visited Detroit last weekend and got a warm welcome from MMS on Saturday. She was unusually animated (usually all business). She clearly recognized me - also unusual, even though I have been going there for years. Paid $$ for the hour and saw "Bebe". She was leaving on Tuesday to go to New York to deal with immigration and then back to Connecticut where she has previously worked. Enjoyed full service during the table shower (which was an extra treat as we don't get table showers in Boston!) I asked about Won and MMS also told me that she was on vacation.
Returned on Tuesday hoping for one more round with Bebe before she left, but missed her. Again, friendly greeting and small talk with MMS. Requested a quick shower and 1/2 hour massage. Paid $.70 and still ended up being there for an hour. Lisa provided wonderful full service. She is Korean, speaks very little English and gives a very firm massage, which I prefer. Generally speaking she is not as good looking as Won, a little taller than average (about 5'8") and a little "thicker", but she got my juices flowing with her skills. I don't like them thin, so for me Lisa was quite enjoyable.
I know some of you have written about not getting service there and others have mentioned their approach, so I thought I would share my thoughts. If I haven't been to a spa, I let them know that when they ask. Maybe I'm just not a good liar, but being honest always works for me. I also let them know that I have been to plenty of other spas just like theirs. I can't tell you how many times I have been grilled by MMS, in spite of my years of patronage, but I always get service at M-1 and other places with the honest answers. At least that way I don't set off their BS detectors! Enjoy
