Taking up the Assman/Fatshaft challenge I ventured out to Soft Hands Spa to "take one for the team". There was a slight tremor in my steering wheel as I drove past SR but I pressed forward the 3.6 km to my objective. The spa is on the NW corner of Bramalea and Derry Road in an interior court. It's across from a Church which was having a meeting tonight but not hard to slip into without feeling too exposed. The outside is nicely done with frosted glass and a conservative sign. Inside the spa is very nicely done still smelling like fresh paint,(it's been open for a week). It's bright, spacious, clean and well designed. The rooms are also spacious bright and clean each with a Jacuzzi, a large massage table, well placed mirrors, lots of clean towels, and the nicest, most spacious showers I've experienced in a spa (or anywhere for that matter). Not as fancy as BP but well done. It was a little tough separating room rates from tips but they seem to start at $40 and go to $100 for an hour. which is what I had. If my memory serves me correctly, T-$30 N-$50 NR-$70 and Jacuzzi $100 which I had and required a 1 hr apt. Total $200.
There were 2 attendants on tonight, Hailey and Christie I think. Both were young good looking and friendly. I went with Hailey. She is mid 20's, 5'5, long curly brown/blond hair, a rubinesque figure, and soft b's. The conversation was good and she was friendly and attentive asking numerous times if I was enjoying what she was doing. The Jacuzzi was pleasant and her massage skills were pretty good. In the end however the session was rather mild, slightly restrictive, and uninspired. This may be because she is new.
In summary the spa is very well done but expensive with up selling from the beginning. The service was pleasant but rather lack-luster for the price. I sense the BL management here although they shelled out a lot for the spa. I didn't really "take one for the team" as I had a good time but for the same $200 I could have a great session at SR and saved 7.2 km.
