Put your hands up for Christie.
Christie--greeted me wearing a black nighty. I was also offered a choice of YoYo too, but found Christie facially to be more to my taste. Christie has relatively short hair and I would guess in her early 20s.
Once in the room, I noticed a tattoo over her shoulder. She seemed friendly but provided a so-so, forgettable massage. The standard menu was offered, and I went with the BS for $80. Right after she closed me on the BS, the friendliness melted away. Within 30 seconds of agreeing on $80, Christie kept pushing me non-stop for more.
"You pay me 100" she said, over and over again. This made the session a big let down in terms of service and the constant badgering for more money was annoying. It does not happen very often in my experience, and it is even more rare to see this level of persistence.
Comment: Guys please don't fall for this--unless you feel it is really warranted. It just makes it harder for the next guy.
Her finishing skills were poor too. I don't know how she can expect a good finish when the client is watching their wallet.
I knew she fully expected me to pay $100 in the end, but I could not do it.
When I left, she gave me a big smile as if it was a great session.
BTW, I wanted to comment on the location too. It's located in a small plaza on Victoria Park near Finch.
It's pretty high visibility. All the employees and customers of the adjacent Subway sub seem to enjoy staring you down, as you take the long walk to the spa's front door. They seem to instinctively know that you are not there for the foot long.
Overall--a cute MPA, that needs to focus on service, and not her up-sell skills. Not a great location, especially for the shy.
Donation: $40 at door and $80 for BS.
