Saw a review on another site, and the review was good. In the comments, someone mentioned the odor of the place- not the girl, the spa. I noticed the same thing at that spa, as well as at a handful of other places. In fact, the stench at one place is so bad, at least to me, that I can't go anymore.
I'm posting because I know that spa owners read these forums and even write fake reviews, so maybe they'll read this post and clean their stores. Thankfully, there are a lot of spas that are clean, and those are the ones I try to visit. I'm sorry- I know this post may seem insulting, and that's not my intent. I even removed the names of the spas before posting, as I don't want to shame anyone. I hate to see spas or girls lose business over something like this.
The smell in question is salty, meaty, like unwashed genitals or unwashed people, maybe towels and sheets washed without much soap, poor air ventilation and maybe the place needing a good cleaning. Between the smell and seeing some of these girls wearing the same clothes to work every day, I don't want to get on the table, and don't visit these places. The good news is there's an easy fix. Use plenty of soap and fabric softener on the towels and sheets, clean the spa with pleasant smelling disinfectants, get some Febreze air fresheners, and girls, come to work showered, keep your breath fresh and wear clean clothes. This shouldn't be too much to ask for a service that costs (with tip) $100 or more per hour.
