So... Shawna is not running this shop, she left the business in 2019 and a new owner bought or leased this space. It was apparently this Lili lady (who I have not seen personally). Lili has had lackluster reviews and now we start to get some interesting activity. Please correct me OP, but your reference to Hands On is in memory only, this place has a new name. Yet, mentioning Hands On will bring a lot of attention as Shawna ran an excellent business. Originally Posted by vigilant17

I assure you that she is not the owner. Yes she uses many different names. She remembers your face so whatever you call her she will answer, but can also see through BS in a New York minute. The person that bought this place in 2019 was Wendy from
from Relax Spa on 15th. She later sold it. It has changed hands several times since Hands on was shut down. OP thanks for the very accurate description of whatever name she is using now. Your mileage will very greatly with her. It all depends on each individual.
Wonder if this is Sa Sa, I think she also went by Lily. Pretty, long hair, about 5’4”. After Kim Spa, moved to place on Campbell/Nantucket, then to Allen on Exchange/Main. Is this her? Originally Posted by jaddarami

@AP51: relax dude, no assumptions here, I chat with Shawna every couple of months and am on WeChat with her. I think you are also.
Speaking of Hands On, does anyone know if Sophia (she’s really tall) landed at another shop?
Sophia and shanna… not shawna are the same person. Is she still working…she was a blast

She has a boyfriend
As I recall, the neighbors called LE. They sent a man in and he was offered a handie by one of the gals. She got shipped out. And, Shanna got shut down. She was (reportedly) very upset. Supposedly, she changed her name and opened a new place down the road.

Meanwhile, a new owner opened Welcome Spa in the old Hands On digs.

Chatter had it that neither place was as good as Hands On. Then, the Plan-Dammit shut everything down.

I am not sure if this is what actually happened. Honestly, I don't have enough viable brain cells left to burn on keeping up with such matters.

But, that's how it came out in the forum. And, as we all know, nothing in the world of SubAMPs is as it seems. Names are like Texas weather, changing on a whim.

@badboyy... She has three names in this very thread. Billo outlined a very plausible orientation, and someone said that she has a boyfriend and quit. I think that sums things up here pretty well.

I will add this one piece. If you find anyone in this business that you enjoy enough to be asking about 2+ years later, then get the contact information at the time.
Julie, Shanna, and Sophia are they same person. She was found guilty of prostitution back in February of this year.
And she’s married
And she’s been married for many years
Many gals in the subamp business have SO. They usually don't say but sometime it slips (or the other ladies slip) on the info. They are not all virgins, or damsel in distress; some of the ladies probably make more money than their clients.


These ladies have better money management skills than the studios' young women. Some of them started in the restaurants, then subamp, and eventually save up to operate as owners. That's why quite a few places are female owned.
