This El Paso Massage Parlor Does Not Have A Happy Ending - kisselpaso.com

[Grizz]

You know, when I think about unwinding after a long day, I don’t imagine “unlicensed massage therapists” and “erotic websites” as part of the experience. Yet here we are, talking about the West El Paso massage parlor that has managed to take self-care to a whole new (and highly illegal) level.

Eastwest Healthy Center Vitamin Massage—because nothing says “trust us” like cramming Vitamin into your business name—has been shut down after an investigation uncovered some truly next-level shenanigans. According to court documents, this place was allegedly more “Happy Ending Spa” than “Healthy Center.” Reports claim employees were offering services that definitely weren’t on the massage therapy syllabus and that unlicensed individuals were casually rubbing shoulders—and other body parts—with customers.

The lawsuit has everyone involved in the hot seat: the business owner, Hui Xiong, the building owner, and even the building itself as a defendant. Yes, the building. It’s probably just sitting there, thinking, “Why am I here? I’m just bricks and mortar!”

But wait, there’s more. Investigators say the establishment not only skipped the whole “license” thing but also didn’t bother keeping client records or doing that basic legality stuff you’d expect from a legitimate business. To top it off, employees were allegedly living on-site. I don’t know about you, but “live-in massage therapist” sounds less like a job title and more like a sketchy Craigslist ad.

The Law Brings the Curtain Down​

Thanks to Judge Patrick M. Garcia and the County Attorney’s Nuisance Abatement Team, this massage parlor is officially closed until further notice. The defendants are now barred from advertising, performing massages, or doing anything massage-related until their February court date. In the meantime, residents of El Paso can breathe a little easier knowing the “neighborhood spa” won’t be making them the topic of a Netflix true-crime series anytime soon.

So next time you’re looking for a massage in West El Paso, maybe double-check that the place isn’t listed under “erotic services” online. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind—and an actual legal massage.
