Wynyard Body Massage & Waxing Studio at Level 1, 115 Clarence Street, Sydney CBD is an upstairs shop next to a pub, a short walk from Wynyard Station. The waxing sign out front gives it a legit look. The massage can be genuinely good, and the erotic massage extras on the flip run from HJ to body slide, though extras prices vary a lot by therapist.
Communication and customer interaction
- Online booking is available, and the daily roster is posted on WeChat. If WeChat messages go unanswered, ringing the shop works.
- The receptionist is friendly and professional, remembers regulars and will offer to bring in someone she thinks you’ll like.
- Extras come up after the flip. Some therapists set a minimum for a one hour booking and ask what you’ve paid before, so agree the price first.
- English ranges from workable to excellent, and some therapists are very chatty.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- The shop is up a flight of stairs next to a pub on Clarence Street. The building is a little old and rundown, but the shop itself is kept tidy.
- Rooms are dim, and sound carries from other rooms, so you’ll hear most of what’s going on around you.
- With the waxing sign out front, it passes for a regular massage shop from the street.
Therapists
- A mixed roster, mostly Asian, generally in their 30s and 40s.
- Some therapists have a legit massage background elsewhere and talk about knots and technique. Others are quieter and more routine.
- Personalities are friendly and sweet, and it helps to ask the receptionist who’s working before you choose.
Service and massage quality
- The massage ranges from decent to genuinely strong. Hard or medium pressure is easy to ask for, and some therapists put real attention into the back and shoulders.
- Teasing builds slowly with light touches before the flip, then extras follow.
- Extras include HJ, NHJ and body slide. Full service isn’t usually offered.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices are 30 minutes for $60, 45 minutes for $75 and 60 minutes for $85.
- Extras run from about $50 for a HJ up to about $150 for fuller packages. Body-to-body is around $150, and adding a second finish adds to the total.
- Each therapist sets her own prices, so confirm exactly what’s included before you pay. Keep a few extra notes handy, because change isn’t always given.
Session flow and timing
- The first 25 to 40 minutes is massage, followed by a hot towel wipe-down and the flip.
- After the extras there’s a thorough wash with hot towels, then a head or shoulder massage to fill any time left.
Overall customer experience
- A convenient central stop near Wynyard, with good massage from the right therapist and plenty of friendliness.
- Extras can feel pricey against Sydney’s competition, so it suits punters who want the massage and a pleasant chat first, and who agree on the price up front.
Quotes
- “Was in Sydney last week, and walking up Clarence street after lunch, and it started to chuck it down. I saw the sign waxing and massage, so thought might as well go in and check it out.”
- “Was in the office and had some time to kill before my flight so en route to Wynyard Station I stopped off here. Up the stairs and greeted by a late 30s receptionist who was quite nice looking, professional and not overly sexy dressed.
- “Left to undress and could hear almost every word from other rooms, lay flat and then she came in. I was in an awkward spot and couldn’t get a look at her till the flip. Her massage was actually great, exactly what I needed, bit of pressure but somewhat relaxing too.”
- “She had a very nice smile to her and friendly. Asked if I wanted hard or medium massage, and as I had a long week at work, a hard massage was going to do my back some good so went with that. She uses quite a bit of strength in her massage and really put attention to my back areas.”
- “She gave me a pretty decent massage, really focussing on my knotted shoulders/upper back which I enjoyed. When she flipped me over she asked about what extras I wanted, I asked for a HJ and she was saying I had to spend at least $100.”
