This FR might not qualify to be posted on ISG from one perspective. The place is pucca professional with very little chance of extras. However, I am still writing so that people might be benefited if they wanted a real massage at less than five-star rates.
So I got this gift voucher for a 90 minutes session at this spa that has a couple of branches in the city. Called the bro Nagar one and fixed an appt. On advice from a friend that had already tried this place, asked for their signature massage which is basically a mix of Thai (the yoga-wala), Swedish and Balinese put together over that 90 minutes. The place was clean and posh. I was welcomed with tender coconut water, shown their service offerings and introduced to a couple of therapists. Chose Ms. L, again on my friend's advice. Not so lean, not so tall Manipuri therapist of 25 years age.
Entered the room which was spacious, decorated and well maintained with a good bathroom. First thing I noticed was that the rooms were purposely left without locks from inside. That was the first hint that I might not get anything extra other than the massage. Found everything was in place. Moisturizer, shampoo, shower gel, hand wash, towel, dispo all. Changed into the dispo and then moved on to the bed with head down. L walked in. Spoke good English. She started from the back and got into the Thai mode. Man, she was nothing like she sounds and looks. Was strong enough to get the right pressure on. Used palm, elbows, and caught my hands from behind pulled back, pushed forward all. Body started heating up over time and man it was a good one. Turned around, continued and she was talking about many things in that time. We spoke about massage types, her life, Manipur, her liking Chennai, this work everything. Was a nice distressing experience. Slightly got to the topic of extras, and she politely talked me away from it. She also said, they are used to clients asking such things but it is not possible and they do not do any such thing there. Seems also that there are equal number of lady clients at the Spa. Hence, decided to forget Johnny trying to get attention and started enjoying the strokes. Finished with the 90 minutes, took a hot shower. Green tea with apricot and honey followed. The best part is that my gift voucher covered all of it and I was super happy.
But the therapist got a little friendly over that 90 mins, and wanted to exchange numbers. We did and at last, I tipped her 0.5 K. All-in-all, a perfect find for actual distressing.
