Foot Aromatherapy. Hoover
Paid my first visit to FA today, so I could compare and contrast with my two visits to Panda.
Definitely a higher-class operation. Real doors on the treatment rooms, as well as a door between the front lobby area and the treatment areas. Much more private. Also, like a "real" spa, you don't pay beforehand, you pay at the end of the service.
I've always been a fan of the table shower at "true" AMPs, so I asked for one today at FA. 60 mins + TS is $79. The dude (papa-san?) took me back to the room, didn't say a word about what I should do, how to dress, etc. There was a robe hanging on the back of the door and some flip-flops on the floor. I didn't see any of the "nylon shorts" that have been discussed on this forum. So I just stripped nude and put the robe on. (Later, after the session, I did notice a couple of small packaged fabric items on the table next to her CD player. I don't know if they were there beforehand and I just missed them, or what.)
Girl showed up a few minutes later. Probably mid 30s. 40, decent body but unattractive in the face, wearing khakis and a t-shirt. Typical, it seems.
She took me to the table shower room and told me I could stand in front of the heat lamp to stay warm while she prepared things. I took off the robe and moved in front of the heat lamp, which was nice. I wondered if she'd get a look at my bare white ass and start fussing at me that I had to put shorts on. But she didn't, took my nudity for granted, didn't mention it nor cover me up during the shower.
Don't know if I "got away with something" being my first visit and playing dumb, or if they really don't care if you wear the shorts or not. Or if this particular girl just doesn't care.
Anyway, the table shower was nice. They have what's called a "vichy shower" in high-class spas, multiple showerheads that hang over the table and drench your whole body at once. Nice. She turned those off and then soaped my backside with a loofa sponge. Not shy about working ass cheeks and between, and inner thighs. Rinsed me with a hand-held showerhead, using her other hand to skim along my skin and make sure the soap was gone. Again, not shy about touching sensitive areas, though it was quick touching.
Flipped over and repeated for the front side: vichy soaking, soaped with loofa, rinsed by hand. Again, her hand moved over my balls and erect dick, not shy about making sure it was rinsed, but not really trying to arouse me either. Same when I stood and she dried me. Patted the twig and berries dry quickly, then moved on.
Back to the room, she put me under a sheet (and a blanket over my feet) for a few while she returned to clean up the shower room. She came back, and started the massage. I don't love the full sheet draping at FA, prefer the towel (or none) at Panda. Still, she pushed the sheet well south of my ass cheeks while she worked my back and ass, then stood over me (hand bars mounted above the table) and worked my back and ass with her heels and toes. She then stripped the sheet away altogether and worked my legs and ass with her feet only. Although she did some interesting heel pushes along my inner thighs, I was disappointed to not feel her hands on that area.
Flipped me over, recovered me, and worked the fronts of my legs and thighs, this time with her hands. Because the full sheet was used, there was a lot of fabric bunched up between my thighs. As a result, I didn't really get any "accidental" touching like I've received at Panda. And then, she was done. No work on the chest or abs or upper pubis, which was disappointing.
All and all, enjoyable. Some things better than Panda, some things not as good. I'll probably return to FA before Panda, if only for the table shower and the privacy improvements. If, however, they make me wear shorts on the next visit for the shower, I won't be as pleased.
Panda & Foot Accupressure
I have previously reported on my visits to both. Slight teasing, no touching of the girl allowed, and no extras available.
I don't believe these places will ever offer the service usually found in most AMP's because of their locations in Homewood and Hoover. They must be afraid of drawing attention of the neighborring businesses and the local LE.
