Luna Spa remains busy

Luna Spa on Adelaide Street downtown has passed the test.

It is busy so top girls work there. Top girls work there so it is busy.

Getting over the hump is difficult for a new spa. It is very hard to get hundreds of people to become your regulars even if you are the best.

Luna bought out Rainbow Spa. That is how they were able to become busy. The clientelle for the spa was part of the purchase price.

Luna Spa Attendants

On TERB there is some talk about the massage attendants at Luna Spa in downtown Toronto. The question asked is "Are the photos real?" The answer is that they are real photos of attractive Asian girls but maybe not currently working at the massage spa in downtown Toronto.

Luna Spa does have many very sexy and slim massage girls. Since there are many Asian spas downtown the massage parlours have to have a superior product to compete.

Luna Spa is offering Bangkok Hot Oil massage and that is being well received. Greenleaf Spa and XSpa also are offering this.This activity is not similar to Nuru Massage at all.

Adelaide Street

The two massage parlours on Adeliade Street are thought of together in vertually everyone's minds. They are almost indistinguishable. The spa next to fire station, now called Luna Spa, did open in 1999 about five years ahead of the one to west now named Sunrise Spa. It was opened as "Orintal Cat Eyes" by Shanko in the fall of 1999. The National Post wrote about them together in 2010:

The ad in the weekly newspaper promises, “Attractive Girls, 18+.” The address, just west of Hooters at 302 Adelaide St. West, is a 19th-century brick home with a locked inner door, a doorbell and a video camera. A woman comes to the door and leads the way to a big airy room, inviting a visitor to sit on a massage table. A young woman of Asian descent comes in, dressed in a short red silk nightshirt, open at the top to reveal her cleavage.

Asked what services the parlour offers, she says, “First you pay me $40 for half an hour.” The other woman chimes in, with a wink, “She will take care of you.”

On Thursday, the National Post visited seven massage and spa businesses, whose licences range from holistic centre to body rub parlour.

A few patterns emerge. Every place has a locked door and a peep hole or a video camera. In every case, a woman comes to the door in a suggestive dress and high heels. In every case, the woman does not ask for a customer’s name or do any paperwork, but merely invites the visitor to sit on a massage table and take off his clothes. All but one establishment insists on cash -in most cases, $40, though some charge $25 for half an hour.

One spot at 266 Adelaide St. W., Luna Spa, registered as a holistic centre, has a sign on the massage room wall saying, “No sexual services available.” The hostess asks a reporter to undress, saying, “I get girl for you.” A young woman appears in a black dress. “You take clothes off. We use hot wax and oil. Full body.” The offer is declined.

Downtown Toronto remains a fascinating place.
