Imperial Spa - View this location on map  Similar to Kabuki in the full service bath house sense, Imperial does not so much pamper as beat dead skin and discomfort into squeaking, whimpering submission. Imperial has clean, comfy bathing facilities with complimentary lotions and hair care that remind many of the real deal in Korea. They offer the standard array of services like facials, scrubs, massage, etc., but unlike Kabuki, everyone gets a fluffy robe and you can giggle and gossip without being gonged. There's no common area, and the actual massage and scrub combo in the communal area may weird out the uninitiated. But the sighs of relief and the baby-ass softness you will emerge with makes being naked in a public room having your funbags pummeled by a woman in her underwear a mere blip in the whole experience. Seriously, they're that good. (415) 771-1114 1875 Geary Blvd San Francisco, CA 94115 (415) 771-1114, San Francisco, CA |
