It is nice that dude I knew recommended place but as far as I am concerned, it was a waste of money. As I was leaving attendant gave look of where is my tip. Please! She should have tipped me for wasting my time. I will not return.

This was a very nice looking place in a nice area. Service was average on all avenues. Gave a 5 dollar tip. She hinted that she wanted more but my attitude is that if you want a good tip then one should provide exceptional service which I did not get. The theraputic massage was like someone that was just starting massage school. The other massage was force-rushed. After everything is said and done I am not sure if massage lady is useless or if by me arriving late she had enought for the day and was ready to go home.

I made an appointment and arrived. Got ready for massage then massuese tells me she will be there in a few minutes because they over booked. She arrives about twenty minutes late and then gets on with the massage. After she gives me her half ass therapeutic massage then she mentions that she wants a tip because other massage is not included. She performed the other massage and was very good at it. Gathered myself and dressed and headed out. On the way out the door I mentioned to her that I was tipping her with reservations because I did not get my full amount of time. She then mentions to me that my tip was lower than expected but because of the time decrease was acceptable. She then goes on to tell me that if not completely satisfied then there are other massage palors. Okay: Fine with me. $80 goes a long way during a recession and I won't return.

Arrived and person that answered the door made me say: wow. To bad she was already busy so she passed me off to her co-worker. Table shower made me alert as I was a bit tired. Massage was average as I could tell she had never attended massage school. Other massage was done well and none rushed. English was terrible but she had a good attitude so gave her a $15 tip. Maybe I will return or maybe I won't. It will depend on my mood at the time.

Was glad to arrive because I wanted to get some relaxation and then come home and do some studying. What a mistake. After I left, I was totally exausted. I don't know if I got extra treatment because they were just opening or if because the program that I got was the norm. The way my massage went was Therapeutic, Other, Therapeutic, Other and then Therapeutic again. Just exactly the way I like things, this way I can cool down slowly instead of being rushed out the door. Half of my therapeutic was with two masseuses and the other massage was totally with two masseuses.
Usually when I am done I give a tip. For this massage I asked the masseuse how much she wanted for a tip. I repeat, I asked her how much she wanted because I had one exciting time. I am not going to say exactly how much my tip was but lets just say my wallet was open.

This is a nice place but I won't go out of my way to attend again. I think that maybe last time my treatment was exception because they were just opening and wanted to secure customer. By all means my visit was good as one would normally expect, its just that it was not exception like my first visit.

I decided to give this place a try because I had not been there before. After every thing is said and done I can take it or leave it. Interesting situation about this place is that when I entered the room she gave me a sheet. It stated $60 for topless and $120 for nude. I opted for the $40 massage for 1/2 hr but they charge $80 for 1hr massage. Simply put you could spend $200 easily here if you do not watch yourself. This tells me that these massage parlors are yet to learn that there is a recession going on around here.

IG Spa – Verrry Interrresting
Place is located on Hope st in Passic. What really throws you off balance as you approach this Russian Turkish bath house is in the middle of a Spanish neighborhood. The first floor is a kosher restaurant—had to be, a Hasidic was having lunch when I entered. The massage rooms are on the second floor.
Got to the second floor and had to ring a bell for service. Several open doors showed massage tables with no clients. Anyway, out comes a middle age Korean; just a tad over weight. TS offered and taken. The head rest on the table appeared to be a 2X4 with a wash cloth laid over it! Lots of attention to all the good spots. Would someone please tell me why they scrub your pop chute so long? Then they use the cloth to wash the rest of your body!
Back to the room, good to very good massage, oil followed by a hot towel. Roaming allowed to some extent. HE offered. Got the impression, depending on the lady more might be available. Seniors PM for details
When leaving there were four Russian guys sitting together having a bite to eat. By the way, they were only wearing towels and probably black trunks—at least one was. The KMP said the steam room was on the first floor and you would walk through the restaurant wearing your towel to use it. Didn’t ask where the sauna was.
As some of you know, the CHOP is picky; but I liked the place and the KMP and will return

Tried this place twice. Average prices, but less than average service. HE was too mechanical, AMP was a clock watcher, actual massage was boring.
Anyone else have a better experience?
