Oh no! I’ve been wanting to try the hot stone thingy, but forget it now. I’m sorry it wasn’t more relaxing or enjoyable, when a mom gets time away for something for herself, it damn sure better be pretty freakin’ awesome! I’m sure I wouldn’t have complained, I would’ve just gotten nervous which always causes me to sweat, then I would’ve gotten embarrassed b/c I was sweating which would’ve caused me to sweat more; a vicious cycle I can never break. So I probably would have left the place crying, sweating, burned, and funky. So, thanks for sharing:) Your blog is awesome, by the way!

ok, at number 9 I started laughing….so sorry, but you do tell a good story. Can you let me know the name of this place so that I steer clear???

While I share in your horror of such blatant un-professionalism and all around bad practices…I’ve gotta say, the way you tell it, this was funny as all hell to read, lol. I hope you send them the link to this awesome review :0)

Please please PLEASE file a complaint (both of you) with the salon that hired this guy. They need to know that he is making people uncomfortable. I recommend doing it in writing, both for your own comfort and for a paper trail. (Also, your writing is awesome and will do the job well.) Even if his actions weren’t technically inappropriate, they made clients uncomfortable which means he needs some remedial communications and professionalism training.

That’s just ICKY. I am so, so sorry you went through that.

Even the badly reviewed (on Yelp!) Albany Tub & Sauna has never come CLOSE to anything like that.

EEWW EWWWW EEEEEWWWWWW!!!

I have a hot stone massage coming up, and while it’s at the same place where I usually go, it’s with a different dude and now you’ve got me all freaked out.

I’ll admit I normally see a man who is about 50-something and totally harmless, and I even okayed the glute massage because biking can do a number on the derriere. I always feel comfortable with the boundaries.

But a belly massage? HORROR. That’s worse than a burned butt crack.

Eww. That definitely qualifies as WME and the fact that you both had the same exact experience? This guy needs to find a new line of work.

You need to link to the yelp review version of this, as I would like to know where it is, so I can avoid burning Certain Areas of my back.

Why do I feel so sad for Whitney that I wanted to give her a hug but when it happened to me, I just tweeted that I hate when they massage your face after your feet, and then blame myself?

Boundary issues!!

Whit, you deserve better!

Oh! Yuck!
Not fun at all.
I hope you can find a fantastic masseuse in the very near future to make you forget all about this badness!
