There's a thread about Southend Massage Parlous here
https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=92857.0;topicseenin which Richa Beauty Spa is discussed. I went there several years ago and it was awful. Normally I go to the Chinese place up the road which is very good. However, when I arrived at Natural Life it had a "back in 20 mins" note in the window. So not having a great deal of time and not trusting the 20 mins timescale, I walked down to Richa. Big mistake.
When I arrived the door was locked, so I rang the bell and waited a few moments. A Thai women with a scowl on her face opened the door and I asked about a massage. "How long" she snapped back. An hour I said. "40 she said. No smiles no small talk.
"Been here before" she said. No I replied (which is a lie but what of it I thought).
Through here she said. I went into a small tidy and clean room with a mattress on the floor. I got undressed and left on me pants. I waited what seemed about 10 mins before she returned and my clean feet were washed.
The massage was lackluster and unmemorable. After about 15 minutes the phone rang and she left to answer. Prior to leaving she had just started on my left leg. Once she returned she briefly went back to the left leg and finished. So right leg got done the left leg got nothing. I guess the phone call took up the left leg's allotted time.
After the legs the arms got a short wipe down with towel but they weren't oily - the arms weren't massaged so no wiping required.
Then she said sit up. She sat behind and rubbed my back for about a minute and stopped. I turned round. That's it she said.
So I paid for an hour and got about 30 mins of "can't be bothered". Total waste of £40 and I would have declined any offers. They were not offered in any case.
I was shown the door. No goodbye - same scowl. No eye contact.
I won't go again ever.
