| - I'm pretty happy right now. I don't usually go to these foot spa places, because so many of them are conducting questionable activities. This one looks a little shady from the outside, but once inside it didn't feel like it would be one of those hanky panky joints. I found this place through the Yelp deal, which was actually pretty great. It isn't really easy to find since it is in the same grubby little shopping center as Monta (meaning I've driven past it hundreds of times without even realizing it was there until I found it on Yelp!) However, just like Monta this place was a real gem. I might have to start trying some of the other places in that plaza! As with all foot spas, and everything in that shopping center it's dumpy from the outside, but it's actually pretty decent when you walk in. Nice comfy chairs and soothing music to set the mood.
On to the actual services... The Yelp! deal offers a detox foot spa and a 45 minute massage for just $29. The foot spa was interesting. The water starts clear, but is supposed to change colors depending on how much and what kinds of toxins are leached out of your body. Mine turned the color of pee, which they said was a good thing... Ugh, but I guess it's better than turning brown or black. The massage was also really good. For those people that complain about whether the massage was too strong or too soft here's the SUPER PRO TIP born out of true genius... tell them what you like. I'm incredible to think of such an incredible trick, I know but that's what we geniuses must do for the common masses. I even added half an hour and had the masseuse do extra work on my tennis elbow. While she was working on me, she also complimented me on my large..... hands. No dirty thoughts now, I did say this was a no hanky panky kind of place.
The staff was extremely friendly and actually spoke a little English, which is pretty uncommon in these types of places. It was incredibly busy, and there were lots of men AND women when I went, which is also a pretty good testimonial to the legitimacy of the place. Definitely going back. Next time it'll be Monta and massage!
