I must not be doing something right, as I got my second less than stellar experience at a new place this past weekend. Garden Spa is up and running and is in a place that had been open for a while and then closed, remodeled and no operates under Garden Spa.

Got there, and had a very pretty lady meet me, Jae, and she had a wonderful set of bolt ons, and things were looking up. Very clean joint, with everything seeming to be new. On the TS and she made sure to give a great shower, with all parts adequately cleaned, with special attention on the glutes and surrounding areas. Things are looking up. The weird part is that she talks to herself (and maybe me) in fast Korenglish, or some language I did not understand, but she really was into it. Back to the room, and she gave a half decent massage, with not a lot of concentration on any one area.

She then said to flip, and then the heavy, heavy upsell began. Her idea of tips is about 100% above the normal, and to make matters worse, she demanded that the tip be obtained during the middle of the massage. Totally ruins the massage and makes you want to leave.

However, I stayed, and she enjoyed herself, and then began to help me totally relax. However, she was rather rough, and rushed through the ending of the massage.

The overall ending was not very enjoyable, and then when I left, I realized it was only about 40 minutes.

So, bottom line is it is a wonderful clean place, beautiful lady, heavy upsell, and shortened time. You may leave happy, but there is much better out there, even right next door.

I know I'm new but wanted to pass on the experience I had here. Visited this afternoon and was greeted by MMS(name unknown). Showed into clean room and was told someone would be right there. Shortly there after Hanna arrived, older possibly in her 40's face 5/10, body 7/10. Gave .8 to the house and a .4 tip on the table. Decent massage with strong hands and romaing in the right places. Some small talk and the massage was not rushed. Time for the flip and the rack came out which was very nice. Allowed my hands free access to all the important areas. Nice warm oil and an unrushed NOVA finish with hot towel cleanup. No TS or offer there of but all in all worth the change and was not rushed.

Ill be going back. Hope I did this right and I apologize if I did not.

[QUOTE=Hillofbeans]Be careful. I would guess that your policy says something about "medical necessity. " You might not need a referral, but you might need a note from your physician to the effect that massage therapy would be helpful for your, uh, stiff joint. Or whatever other condition you come up with. Imagine if you had a massage every day and submitted your bills as medical claims. Your insurer would almost certainly object (. Or jack up your employer's premiums, and then your employer would object), and what do you suppose they'd argue when they deny your claim?[/QUOTE]


I totally agree with your view point on this. Sometimes even a regular doctors visit check up is not even covered unless you are actually sick! Personally, I would not take the risk with my employer's insurance company!

[QUOTE=Pilot Aviator]Went to see our friends at K*** just outside the beltway.

All the usual good things about the place (and unlike some places mentioned recently, this place uses lots of clean towels. I see them come from the washer and dryer on every visit. And they are generous with the towels)

Therapist was Loo. A quiet and quite pretty and tall lady who does not encourage any roaming.

I was very surprised by how busy it was for a Tuesday afternoon. Maybe the level of busy-ness had stressed the ladies a little, because this visit was just "OK". Details below, but truth be told, I found this to be a very atypical visit (not anywhere near the usual level of positive energy and enjoyment). There was nothing to really complain about. There was just no connection between me and Loo (and the lack of engagement made the visit "just OK")

The TS was "OK" -- actually a little better than OK as she at least used lots of soap, and that always feels good. (7.5/10)
The hot towels were hot, and the back work was OK (7/10)
The back-walking was OK (7/10)
The leg work was OK (7/10)
The shoulder/arm work was passible. (6/10)
The flip was OK (but very mechanical) (5/10)
I felt like there was a rush to get me out the door and back to my car (4/10 for how it made me feel -- but the time was actually more than 50-minutes, which although short of the requested hour was close enough to not generate a complaint from me)

Standard rate for the hour, and for "OK" visit - standard tip with no embellishment nor appology (and, as always, no one checked the tip while I was in the room and there was no drama leaving)

Departure -- actually it was the friendliest part with "thanks," and "come see me again soon" (8/10)

What was missing -- no smiles, no encouragement to enjoy, no connection. It had been quite some time since I had been on Loo's table. Now I remember why.

YMMV -- and be nice to the ladies.

I can relate to this...sometimes a lady can be totally distracted and have her mind on something completely different. I can not stand it when a therapist is constantly looking at the clock. I am ok with keeping up with allotted time of the appointment, but I have had experiences where some ladies seem to be obsessed with the clock. Thankfully, it does not happen often.

I am glad to hear there were no issues with the Towel service. I never understood why anyplace would re-use the same towel as the previous customer. Makes no sense at all!

Makes no sense at all![/QUOTE]About 6 months ago I had a lady leave the room right after the flip was in full swing, come back with the phone in her hand, she proceeded with your typical NOVA finish with one hand, while she argued with the cable guy on the phone with the other hand. Needless to say I have chosen to not go back there. She also made it a habit to pop every blemish on your back, her doing that took up pretty much the entire time allotted for the massage. In case anyone wonders where this place is it is the furthest south spot in ffx county right before the line.

[QUOTE=Alpha D]Did you go to Backlick Holistic? I know the place intimately. While there is a Suzie who works there, she is not 40 and there is no TS. It is a self-serve stand-up shower.

Next time, don't ad lib. It'll ruin any credit you have here.

AD[/QUOTE]thank you -- I thought I was crazy. You just saved me 40 min in commuting traffic as I was going to give it another try based on these past two reports.

Tried this out as the ad said new staff young on cl. oops my bad yes it is new but not young at all. Entered and got ts (new from last time I go when it newly opened) from mms. Short K but bolt on looked really nice. She was stocky. TS was ok and uninspiring. Inside the room I wait 15 minutes and in comes Ann(?). The rub was even more UN-inspiring as the TS. last 10 minutes. On the flip she could not work any magic and I have to really focus. Roaming no really encouraged and she acted like no english was understood. I was pissed and left only a .2. I left more stressed than I walked in.

They did say NEW younger girls coming in next week. So if anyone does try them let me know. I will not TOFTT at this place again.

WD,

No worries. Two of the girls at BT give great massages with the standard NOVA finish. If you want a good massage and are ok with NOVA, then it is worth the drive. PM for the girls' names if you want them.

BT or BH? BT is in MD, and you get more than the standard NOVA finish. Or is there a BT in VA I am unaware of.

A friend of mine said he thought good things can happen in Spa World in Centreville.

Is that true? Who has been there and what did you experience? PM if you want but maybe an open post would be best.

JJ[/QUOTE]I doubt anything untoward goes on there. I got my gf a gift pass there and checked the place out. Men and women are segregated. it's for families. It's in the style of spas in Korea and for those who miss it here.

Sleazebum,
I've PM`ed you about a 2 1/2 years ago you never returned the courteous gesture or a report of any kind. I'll tell you that the massage in the Whirlpool room is done by a man from what I've seen. Upstairs on the top floor is massage tables with wooden doors and window not sure if there's a pulldown curtain or not seems to me to be pretty legitimate.

That being said I've also been there and seen providers relaxing there and we have a little something to eat and scheduled rendezvouses for later. The expense might be a dinner with movie for inreturn an all-nighter.

I just do not remember a PM about this especially that long ago! I have trouble rememebring yesterday much less over two YEARS!

Anyway, thanks for the update and I do apologize for seemingly slighting you.
