Definitely don't endorse Vital Health Spa
[QUOTE=SaintChuck;4165609]Has anybody been to Vital Health Spa recently? 1517 E Oakton in Des Plaines. I only found 1 really old report and the report stated that it was a no fun zone. I will be out that way for work next week and was hoping that the place at least offered L1 service. SaintChuck.[/QUOTE]Unless they have changed a lot in the last six months, I wouldn't suggest going. The time I went, the girl was hot, but the massage was bad, there was upselling ($40 for an additional 30 minutes) and there is a lot of tease and then try to get you to self-serve. Unless that's your thing, don't go.
Sky's the limit, but I shouldn't be charged for it
Saw an advert in Bedpage for an AMP in Mt. Prospect. The address of 1701 Gold seemed very familiar. So I did a little research and it was indeed the old address of Sky Spa, defunct for about 2 years now, that I used to enjoy whenever I could afford it. Advert calls itself J Spa, and promised a table shower, among other things. So I checked it out. Little neon sign in the window was just about the smallest, most inconspicuous sign you could put up.
Was greeted by Jenny, a 40+ Korean with a bit of a gut. Yes, the entrance fee was. 8, which I was expecting. After that was all paid and I was undressed she informed me that the sauna and shower were not ready yet, maybe in a couple of days. OK, fair enough. But what did I just pay. 8 entrance fee for?
Massage was nice, but it was not done with oil. Instead I was massaged through towels, either dry or hot and wet (no jokes). Jenny talked and talked, wanted to know how I found them, etc. I made it very clear I am a monger from way back, first wandering into the Mt. Prospect AMP scene back in the mid 90's. I gave the signs, and got nothing. In fact the door to the room was left open the entire time.
I'm more than a little ticked off about the. 8. She could have dropped that to. 6 if I wasn't going to get the full spa treatment. Maybe she was being cautious. But being cautious and charging me an extra. 2 for something that isn't there yet? Not a way to build a customer base. I won't be back unless I hear something good from you guys.
