Legit massage

[QUOTE=YoungMonger808;5218309]Yeah kinda curious too. I've gotten Wassana Nina and Katie. They have all been good in their own ways but Wassana was the best. They do have a newer lady that started not that long ago.[/QUOTE]Take your pick. There aren't too many therapists and it is not the newer lady. Keep in mind that not all people will receive the same service you receive. My concern is no therapist should take their frustration out on the next person if the prerious appointment didn't go well. Just imagine yourself going into a massage thinking you're going to be relaxed for the next 90 minutes only to have shitty experience because the therapist is mad from the previous appointment. That is exactly what happened. So that there is no confusion, my post says I have nothing but kudos for Wassana. She is top or near top of all therapists I've been with.

A few years ago I had a similar experience with an upset provider. It was my first visit too, I was a minute late and she started calling to see if I was a no show, but I did not respond, as I was already at the door. She opened the door and started snapping at me, "You late", "Why you no answer your phone! While on the table, she starts interrogating me on who else I see, "You go Century Center? Damn, that was one of the worst starts for me ever. But her massage skills saved her, as that is what must have kept bringing me back for more. Later as I got to know her better, she would share more of her personal life with me, both good and bad. She would want to share so much, that at times my hour long sessions extended to three. I told her, that I would have to start billing her for my time. Lucky nobody missed me at work. Long story short, I still see her today outside of work and are the best of friends. So sometimes compassion and empathy can go a long way and sometimes not.

Unfortunatelly, this was not my first rodeo, nor second with the therapist and I've noticed quite a few subtlties to no go back to her. Like I said in my previous posts, everyone's experiences are different. I am glad you enjoy her. I'll take my chances eslewhere because there are many more legit therapists who offers great service. Just my humble opinion.

Just returning to answer & clarify things. On my 2nd attempt, I did get the confirmation over text and also that it will be seeing Wassana at XX o clock. I did not get the name of the therapist but she is a darker skin tone, skinny & probably 40+ yo lady. And I did ask about Wassana but then there was this look of confusion and sudden language barrier. Naturally anyone would feel, if someone can communicate in fine English over text then why not in person. I didn't push the matter further than that as I was looking for a legit massage session. Overall I was bit disappointed but not pissed off like a usual bait & switch. Mainly bcoz when you expect to see a person, you expect to see that same person.

This isn't a knock on Wassana but I know most of the esl folks use Google translate to text. A lot easier than in person. Just putting it out there for perspective.

So, if you book at this place even if you specifically book with Wassana, there's no guarantee you're going to get her?

[QUOTE=Ernestm;5181627]Saitara has gone through several ownership and service changes since the post I made years ago. I have been there for HE massages from a couple of independents since the time I posted.[/QUOTE]Took a shot at this place since I was in the area not expecting much as it a heavily trafficked mini mall strip. Providers name was Molly or Mali I think and she had a nice rack for an older lady maybe around mid 50's. I was going this was one of the independents you were referring to that gave some HE but ended up with a medium to light massage. YMMV but for my experience no such hint.

Why is there talk about HE in a legit massage thread?

Any good legit Japanese LMT therapists to try out?

I'm putting this in this thread because all indications point to this place being legit unless someone says otherwise. Has anyone been to this place and how is it?

What's going on with Wassana? I have tried on several occasions to get an appointment with her and keep getting the response with being offered someone else.

I was having the same issue, they kept trying to pass me off to another therapist.

[QUOTE=Logan5595;5234886]What's going on with Wassana? I have tried on several occasions to get an appointment with her and keep getting the response with being offered someone else.[/QUOTE]She is currently attending cosmetology classes so her appointment window is very slim. When I made an appointment it was at least a week in advance. She might of had an off day or was physically and mentally drained from all the studying. Good luck to her. She may eventually provide the one stop shopping experience shampoo haircut, shave, and massage like you see in the Vietnamese you tube videos.

Good, good to hear. Now cannot wait, I bet Wassana will even make waxing fun. I can just imagine her waxing up the Nephew and just giving it a rip, ready or not. Then checking on you "You OK?" with that wicked playful smile of hers. Oh the more painful pleasures to look forward to.
