Spangles Health Spa, has been reviewed before, but my experience differed in certain important ways, if you're not absolutely sure, figure it out by reading them and my other FR's of other ladies.

Spangles advertises as opposite Rose&Crown on the main Derby road (A52) out of Nottingham, and is at back of bank of shops, half way between QMC and Lenton Park / Faraday Road railway bridge. Previous reports are accurate, with good car parking in area, it is safe fairly bustling area with many plausible reasons to be there. Should extras or 'less rush' prove unanticipatedly tempting, there's even a convenient cash machine to 'reload' at the corner bank. The one discretionary hazard, not previously noted, is the toddler's day nursery with direct eyeline to the Spangles entrance, with just 1 route out of car park, try not to exit directly too right with too smug a grin if you know family likely to be in area at time of visit. I agree about the cleanliness, my 2nd earlier visit, it was 'pristine'having looked like the staff had spent some time on the place.

On entering, you're offered 30 mins or 45 min massage, given a small bag with key and padlock for changing room locker, a towel and you are shown the shower, told to leave clothes downstairs. First visit for me to Sauna/Parlour scene, and it was initially strange getting ready having another visible punter on premises, but easily shrugged off in practice.

At each visit the lounge area where drinks are offered (includes sink and hand wash), I observed a small discrete shower for the ladies, just off the receptionists lair. Each time, 3 ladies (2 masseusses + receptionist) were present all attractive in their own way, and despite certain receptionists stern declaration, you to would likely suspect that she shows a gentler side on certain other days of the week. Anna is other option on Tues, and she's early 20's, seemingly sweet young thing as per FR 66633; she seems to be the main lounge conversationalist, so if gossip and chat is important to you during massage she may be a good choice.

The massage rooms off the lounge, are what an estate agent would describe as intimate, snug and cosy. The lighting is adjustable via dimmer, there's some small shelves and hooks on back of door, and a couple of massage essentials present. In a word basic but hygeinic. Until someone can dampen the benches squeaking under simulated seismic load, and deepen the upholstery, that really is the draw-back of this establishment; the 45 mins option, convenience and the ladies being the draw in my view. 50% longer for an extra ?15, over typical the ?60-70 for similar 30 mins punt elsewhere, means less rush and more pleasant pace to business, for just a little extra.

Leg's o' LEGS! Oh LA LA, my oh my!!! Danielle described herself as leggy, attractive blonde and somewhat older than Anna (22). This lady is spectacular, but not for everyone. All I can say is, on my first visit, Danielle in heels on the stairs in a skimpy masseur's outfit, scarlet bra evident at neckline, well... one very long look starting at top, working down, down, down, and then back up and I suffered major loss of brain function. So much so I realised the review was compromised, and decided to go back next week to allow for better objectivity! Danielle's an attractive mid/late 20's, blue eyed blonde, oval faced 'Woman of the World' look, with very silky shoulder length hair, very slim, exuding healthy appeal (no hint of heroine chic), small but perfectly functional boobs, with 'apparently' flawless skin (no blemishes, 1 tasteful tat on left upper arm). I say 'apprently' only in deference to other ladies I've FR-ed under harsh lighting(if D. demands a 'recount' under natural light I'd happily oblige). D's curvy, but in a willowy subtle way, if you have to have ample cleavage, then this isn't the girl for you; however those long legs and hourglass waist certainly compensate.

On my first visit, Danielle had anwsered phone pleasantly and greeted me at the door, the second I was met and talked to the receptionist (perhaps she has early pm break?). My varying 'punt' times, include changing, showering and lounge time spent in company of the ladies.

D. is quiet, having an economy of expression, and slightly shy, no babble to distract from enjoying this woman's attentions, which is wise to do in a gentlemanly patient way; as Guiness might say 'Good things cum to those who wait'. The standard question from Sauna/Parlour guide about 'been anywhere else?' cropped up fairly early-ish on, mentioning Punternet will do nicely. After 10 mins or so, D. advised discussing 'extras in a few minutes', the thought prompted various movements, so it was clear to me that 'Everything!' was going to be the best solution to my dilemma. Later following gentle but thorough reverse massage, my treatment progressed and the mirror offered stimulating visuals of sensually swaying flaxen hair as D's mouth worked up and down, a hint of fluttering, preparation for relief of lumbar region ache I'd developed recently. Later in yet deeper closer body massage even stronger fluttering movements were felt, her lithe exceptionally toned body, totally soothing and relieved me of my stress induced tension. So satisfactory first meet, even though it was somewhat guarded, no fireworks, and the latter stages of my treatment were noisier than desirable (due to bench).

My second visit, was a different pace, perhaps inspired by that Estate Agent it's surprising how snug & cosy, a massage bench can be. The time ran over a little, we didn't notice and D. wasn't clock watching, a knock on door was required. Though some urgency was now apparent, I really felt like she now was putting me first, rather than the smooth running of the establishment; I was no longer 'on probation'. Later I realised I had completely forgotten my drink, and left the place without touching it, in spite of reminder invitation on way through lounge after D's company.

All in all, an experienced skilful part-time masseuse (Tues & Sat), slightly shy perhaps, but understanding of men's needs and our foibles. The attraction is more than skin deep, she responds to a gentle-man in a natural appreciative manner. Improved room comfort would however be of benefit, though consulting and taking advice given does minimise the issues.
