Ripped off at Four Seasons
I pussed out on seeking out some great recommendations to stay close to I'm working. Went to the Swansea place near Rural King first, and Four Seasons second.
I'm going to report on Four Seasons first because it was, without a doubt, the worse massage experience I've ever had in my life. $70 at the door. Old lady, I thought was the mamasan because the last time I was there, I was serviced by a young and attractive woman. Nope. She's the therapist. Shower was lame, but whatever. Massage was a series of quick, random prods and pokes. She walked on my back for a little bit, which was kind of nice. Then flip. After about 10 minutes of totally covered, horrible massage with no teasing. On the flip, she fucked around poking and prodding my head a little bit. Then she went straight to my feet and just yanked on my toes until I winced in pain.
"ALL DONE!"
"What!"
"YOU FEEL BETTUH?
"That's it! I've only been here for like 30 minutes."
"YAH SWEETY ALL DONE"
"So it's $70 for a half-ass 20 minute massage!"
"OOOH YEAH, AND YOU GET BODY SHAMPOO."
I'm a pretty calm guy, but I felt like I was straight up mugged on the street. She doesn't want to give an HE? FINE. I understand. But don't just fucking blatently steal from me and act like everything is fine. Give me a decent hour massage, tease in the neighborhood a little bit, and send me on my way. She them kept trying to talk to me as I got dressed, asking me my "BACK FEEL BETTUHHHH! And I let her know I was straight pissed, got my shit and stormed out.
DO NOT GO TO FOUR SEASONS. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Ok, The Swansea place.
Was there once a few years ago. Got a brutal massage from a white woman. She was so strong, I thought she was going to break me. I could barely walk the next day. I like it because it's also a salon, so it makes it a little less seedy feeling.
Older woman, but well put together. Table is large, which is nice. Lots of oil, great teasing while on the stomach. I like that. Did a thing that drove me CRAZY. Sat next to me on the table indian style, and casually slipped a foot under by happy section. Just awesome tease action. Walked on my back, not bad at all. On the flip, got down to the HE pretty quickly, but it was solid quality. Massage only lasted about 40 minutes, but it was a good time and I'd return. $.0 and no hassle. Seemed very grateful for the business. I recommend.
So, there you have it. A solid experience at a legit place, and the worst time ever at the sure-thing place (going by the standards of 3 years ago).
Fairview Asian massage shut down.
Went by today today to get a foot massage and they had a sign on the door closed.
Something about violating city ordinance, and work permit.
That sucks! Hanna was a sweetheart.
