Saw discussions about NYMS and decided to go yesterday. Took a massage / body scrub combo special ( 1 hour massage and half hour body scrub/table shower). My masseur lead me to a room which was dark. Sliding door and wall to the ceiling. I was told to change. There was a robe and slipper. I was reluctant to use both thinking they may not be washed after use from last customer but I had no choice but to put on the robe because they don’t have towel in the room. I walked bare foot outside and my masseur was waiting outside. Passed by the reception area to the table shower room. The room only has one table. Even though the entrance is just a curtain I think it is private enough unless someone peaks in on purpose. Asked the masseur to rinse the table but later I noticed that there was a piece of waterproof paper on it so that has a point added from me. Didn’t think the body scrub / table shower could last for half an hour and when I was done it was 30 minutes so no time short. The table shower was thorough. I was concerned about the cleanliness of the spongy scrub but decided not to say a thing. Also the table is right under the ventilation. When the hot water stopped, it was cold because my body was all wet. I had to dry myself quick with a towel instead of waiting for him to dry me.
Back to the room, I requested a strong massage and it was quite strong to a point that I wanted to tell him easy on the pressure. I don’t think masseurs in these places are professionally licensed but he has technique and I think the massage was good compare to some masseurs or masseuses who have no game plan and no skills.
I was partially covered but the massage was decent with light teasing. No tips mentioned the whole time. When it was done, I checked the time and it was exactly an hour so no time short. Overall it was a good experience. I tipped 60% and he seemed happy. I was surprised that he gave me a kiss on my cheek and I left. He also gave me a card that shows the 4th time is 20% off. One thing is strange to me that they also have female masseuses. I was asked whether I wanted a masseur or masseuse when I arrived. I have had masseuses in the past but those places don’t have masseurs. Maybe NYMS is like ReNew?
