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...
Ā Ā Ā Read more1 Star- only because I had to (Google wouldn't let me post without at least the one). This is my second time going, and honestly I shouldn't have come back after the first visit. My Boyfriend had a good experience the first time he went and then our first time together, but both times I left disappointed. Only this time, I was going to treat my boyfriend and to help with some kinks after a recent car accident. I booked us a two hour massage, we were early and got seen right away- great. The massage itself was subpar, and constantly interrupted by one of the masseurs'' phone going off- on my bed, I felt it vibrate and heard it ding no less than 6 times (the first time I went my masseur took a call in the middle of my session) but the real kicker came at check out. I gave a cash 20% tip to both ladies, and the cashier laughed out right in my face. I have never been so embarrassed. Not only that, but she kept my card behind the counter as she went to go grab and tell her friend about my tip. So rude, so incredibly unprofessional and just completely uncalled for. We will not...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBeen there a few times and the place is incredible. I am a bigger guy, so when I ask for hard pressure not all places are able to give me a good hard pressure that really gets into the muscle. Coco and the ladies here are great at Ashiatsu style where they walk on your back with the assistance of rails that run above the massage beds. To really enjoy your time I encourage you to try a 4 hands massage (2 massage therapists work in tandem to give you an incredible massage. Often with just one masseuse really working a portion of your body they might not get to all desired areas if they are really working out your knots. By utilizing 2 people at one time you can get a great massage. It will cost twice the price since you are getting 2 full body massages at once) It is definitely an expense but I went for a 90 minute and I don't know if I can go back to just one massage therapist now. It was a like 90 minute vacation from reality. Lol. All my stress was forgotten. The place is clean, and quiet. The staff is wonderful and I will be a regular for as long as I...
