Great Review for a Spa in Scarborough
Finally tried new Diamonds since Kelly left. Turns out that it wasn't just Kelly that left - it looks like there is a full change of ownership. Diamonds is a massage parlour in
Scarborough
Welcomed by an older woman at the door - asked if I wanted to test drive a new girl. Had really good luck in the past with 'new girls' so I went for it.
Paid my $40 door fee for 30 minutes, and mama-san leaves to fetch new girl. Begin to dis-robe but get interrupted by new girl. Looks to be in her mid 30s with slim figure. Kinda cute. Not exactly a fan - at this point I'm $40 in the hold, so I let it play out.
Here is where things start to go awry - the new girl then asks me to re-robe in hospital scrubs. Think this is a bit strange - but I've survived JJ Spa - how disastrous can it get?
New girl says she's never done a massage before - and that I should help her out as she goes along. She then proceeds to give a half hearted massage through the massage scrubs. Its pretty bad but I chalk it up to experience. Her english isn't very strong either so the conversation is non-existant. Expect her to ask for me to turn over 30 mins into the session - but at this point there's been no tease, and I'm fully clothed - figure that at worst I'll get nothing and I'm out $40.
But the massage goes on.... for another 15 minutes. And then she starts to begin her massage routine again!
Tell her that we're done and that time is up. I'm leaving. She says 'Wait... need to ask what to do...' and leaves the room. When she returns I'm out of the scrubs - starting to change into my street clothes. She insists that I extend the session. I ask her about her menu - if there is enough I could be persuaded to stay just for extras. She says no extras.
Outstanding because I don't want to stay anyways. Get dressed and walk out. Things take a turn when the first girl that I met then stops me at the door and asks about the massage. It sucked and I say so. First girl insists that I extend my stay for free - to 'teach' the new girl and ushers me back into the room. New girl then pulls up a chair to the table for the clothed HJ finish. Begins by laying a towel over me and rubbing through - I tell her thats not working for me so we get the towel out of the way for skin-on-skin. She looks completely disgusted for the entire session, and stares at the ceiling as she jackhammers away.
Finish up and drop a $20 tip - (what is the tip for a non-topless finish anyways?). She insists its $40. Fine - the price is terrible but I'm not going to haggle.
Prepare to leave - but instead am greeted by a male employee who finally walks me out the door. I decline the hug and finally escape.
Looks: 4.5/10
Massage: 4/10
Damage: $40 + $40 (Door + Clothed HJ Tip)
Extras: Hospital scrubs, 25 minutes extra for free, a girl sitting in a chair finish, and getting walked out by a guy.
Recommend: If you want a more expensive JJ Spa adventure - then definitely.
