I've seen these ads recently and wondering if anyone has partaken.....

Thanks for any info.

That is the former Thousands Waves Spa. So is it an extras place or just a man spa? An LMT would never provide a pic and risk her professional licenses at a place like that which tells me the pictures are fake or they don't provide anything extra. Plus that $99 I'm sure is your entry fee if there is more. When I work at professional massage place they do headshot a of staff not body shots.
Well  let us know how that works out either way I'm sure you will enjoy yourself.

Looks like a plain old Massage Envy-type spa to me. I did some digging around.

1. The photos of workers are all G-rated: just smiling faces and a sports bra at most. (Or is it least?) I didn't see anything suggesting a hobby-type service. The phrase "all-female staff" is just there so men would come, because spas are usually effeminate and most straight men would be uncomfortable with a male massage worker. (With a possible exception of injured athletes, who may want someone with stronger hands, and therefore don't care.)

2. Their website does not mention screening in any way. Either they're being dumb, or don't need to screen because their service is 100% legal. They also have Twitter/Facebook/Google+ share links. Not only that, there's a real address, which is something I've never seen on providers' websites in the 11 years I've been hobbying. If this place indeed offers a hobby service, it's only a matter of time before the vice goons come a-knocking.

3. Such services already exist.  Some ethnic public saunas--- not MP's!---provide comparable massage services. You're nude, and the massage workers are in their swimsuits. They wear gloves while giving you a scrub-down with soap and hot water, skipping *those* areas. Of course, the service takes place out in the open, among public pools and showers, and the massage worker is the same sex as you.  It's as unsexual as it gets.

Now that you mentioned it, I'm starting to see some red flags based on the CL ad you showed me.

1. "No license required" --- 'nuff said.  Even though their official site said their workers are LMT's.

2. "Attractive appearance" --- businesses are prohibited by law from hiring based on appearance, unless they classify their workers as entertainers. Tilted Kilt makes this classification, so that they can select waitresses with good looks and big breasts. Hooters, by contrast, does not, hoping that only the "right" candidates will submit applications.

3. "Take home cash" --- which makes them comparable to dancers in strip clubs.

4. "Opportunities to model" --- no comment on this, but it does raise questions.

All this said, I'd still say they're more like a strip club than a provider. Or even like *those* defunct venues from mid 2000's, like O'Hare Girls or Debbie Does Lake Street. (Both got lambasted on TER.) I wonder if this place will be eligible for getting reviewed on TER, even though it's not a hobby venue. Or if it is, which alderman they paid off and how.

Or it could be a jack shack. Speaking as someone who's had a bad experience.
