| - ORGASMIC, TOE-TINGLING, BLISSFUL, and HEAVENLY are just a couple of words to describe my experience at Pure Foot and Spa.
As prevalent as foot massage establishments are becoming, I have to admit I was a Foot Massage Virgin until 2 months ago. And, I can say hands-down, the second time around at PF&S blew my first experience at SF's Wonderfoot Health Center out of the water!
Although I love wearing stilettos, they do not love me and no matter how many GG shots I take to numb the pain, I end up wearing them as bracelets by midnight. As we were planning our Vegas trip, Nicole S. found PF&S and after seeing the 4.5 STAR rating, we knew we had to go there during out trip.
Come Friday, 3.5.10, our feet were already sore from the previous night at Tryst, even though I had my shoes off half the time. *SIGH* If we (I), intended to survive the next 2 nights, we (I) needed a foot massage, and needed one badly!
APPOINTMENT:
Walk-ins are welcome. However, just to ensure they could accommodate me and my gfs, Nicole S. called at 3 PM for a same-day appointment at 3:30 PM.
LOCATION:
PF&S is in Chinatown and is located in one of those Asian Plaza's similar to the ones in the San Gabriel Area of LA. It's approximately a $13 cab ride (10 min) cab ride from the strip.
EXPERIENCE:
1) We were warmly welcomed in by the staff and seated in leather recliners side-by-side each other.
2) I received a cup of rose tea while Anna, my masseuse prepared the footbath.
3) While my feet soaked in the footbath, I sat on the ottoman while she worked on my head, face, neck, shoulders, upper and lower back. It was by far the BEST non-oil massage I've ever had! Anna used trigger point therapy on my head, temples, and neck and I could feel the pent up stress just melt away. On my shoulders and back, she used a combo of acupressure and long strokes to knead away all the knots I had. I especially loved it when she used her entire forearm and went back and forth against each backbone...it felt so good, it made my EYES-ROLL-IN-BACK-OF-MY-HEAD!
4) After 25 minutes, Anna dried off my feet, and had me sit back on the recliner and gave me a hand and arm massage which consisted of acupressure, kneading, and strokes. The hand massage was blissful and brought me back memories of my rave days!
5) After 5 minutes, Anna went to the best part....the FOOT AND LEG MASSAGE! She put a balm on my feet and calves that felt a mixture of cream and shea butter. It was velvety smooth and intensified the effect of the massage even more. She started with trigger point therapy on certain parts of my feet, and then followed it with long strokes on the arch of my foot. I have many problems with the balls of my feet, so when Anna went to town on this part, it was Ahhhhhhhh, ORGASMIC!
6) The last 2 minutes, ended with a thigh massage where Anna kneading my thigh with her fists.
SERVICE:
The staff at PF&S are very friendly, professional, and can speak conversational English (so there shouldn't be any awkward laguage barriers). Anna was very sweet and asked several times if I was ok and if the pressure was good. The pressure was perfect; it was gentle yet firm on the knots that needed to be worked out.
PRICE:
The decal outside the window stated $28 for 45 minutes, but we did the $38 for 1 hour. The staff at PF&S works hard, so please be mindful and tip accordingly. :)
AMBIANCE:
No frills establishment w/ a very simple and relaxing atmosphere. There are two flat LCDs on the Chinese CNN channel (muted) and Chinese classical music playing in the background. There are two rows of leather recliners; 10 total.
We'll definitely be back on our next Vegas trip in 3 months! Vegas was a blast as usual and I definitely accomplished one of my goals: Happy Ending @ Vegas....CHECK! No pun intended of course...
