Had a 2 hour massage by Coco. I've been to a few asian massage businesses. I usually check Yelp first and read reviews. They are typically simply decorated, clean and focused on giving good massages. There isn't usually a receptionist in these places because the practitioners are usually the ones running the business. They are focused on the clients.
So, if you are wanting a robe, soft slippers, some chamomile tea while in a waiting room... I wouldn't suggest them...for me its not about pampering, but feeling amazing when I walk out!
Also, If you get upset because the practitioner answers a phone call or someone walks in off the street and she needs to go address them, don't visit these places. ( When you called to set up an appointment, they may have been with another client at that time as well)
If you've never had an asian massage, dont get freaked out if they use techniques that your usual place doesn't use. The practitioner may climb on the table, may stretch your body, might even walk on your back ( ashiatsu) . There is a purpose and a reason behind it all, just relax and enjoy it.
Communication, yes, important, let them know what pressure you like, if you have areas that need to be addressed. English most likely is not their first language...so be patient and respectful.
Ok...so, first time visiting Fantastic Spa last night as I'm just visiting Vegas.
This was without doubt one of the very best massages I've ever had in my 15+ years of getting regular massages. I've tried all types during this period.
What I enjoyed with Coco was her many techniques, variations, and her intuitive feel of tight areas.
She definitely can dole out plenty of deep tissue pressure. I pointed up to the bars above and she said that she knows how to do it ( ashiatsu).
She integrated some stretches/ thai types of techniques as well.
Coco's use of the hot stones were amazing, working on the fascia...the areas that she could tell ( and I knew) that were tight.
Im definitely looking forward to my next visit to Coco at Fantastic Spa. Im happy I found this place...feel like I got lucky!!
