Foot massage parlors: require no licensing from the state to open. The people doing foot massage do not require an LMT license. Most are Chinese family operations with grandma, grandpa, mom, pop, sisters, brothers, children working there and they all work only for tips An inexpensive, honest loophole to avoid licenses, payroll taxes & open a business. Ain't America great?
That is why you see them popping up all over. It's the replacement for nail salons which having become too abundant and more difficult/expensive to open.
Every one I have been in has a hidden body massage room and offers full body massage. Nobody can make a living giving $29/hr foot massages and $5 tips.
The full body massage will come complete with a half bottle of Suave lotion greased all over you and then the $ negotiation for anything extra. Just hope you don't get grandma or worse.
