At work i Wear a shirt with the company logo on it. I know amps practice discretion but I'm always nervous going in with my work shirt on. Yet it's a little difficult change a button-down shirt and tuck it in when you're in the car on the way back into work lol

I'm in Silicon Valley, the look is more laid back here than in NY. Loose, casual, older guy clothes.
But not elastic waistband pleated dockers and matching beige velcro walking shoes. And definitely not my prized Buzzcocks t shirt or anything else that artfully accesses irony.

And slip on shoes.

Really? I always wear my big boy pants and a raincoat when things get deep. If you are worried about showing your work logo, cover it with a name tag showing your nickname or ampreview handle or whatever.

The main objective is to look as neutral and nondescript as possible. Ideally, you should fade into the background.

I typically wear a button up shirt with a breast pocket, pants, and shoes. Avoid wearing anything that stands out or people can identify as a "signature" look. Not only work logos, but shirts with school, sports team or [recent/frequent] vacation logos should be avoided. I wear jackets with lots of pockets, especially hidden inside pockets for tip or house fee $$. I usually only have a $20 bill in my actual wallet (it avoids confusion). I also remove any work related stuff in my wallet, like ID or biz cards (which could fall out). Lastly, I typically wear clothes that are not what I regularly wear at work. In fact, sometimes I keep a "spare" [spa] jacket in my car. A dedicated "spa" wallet is not a bad idea either (now that I think of it).

Speaking of the car, don't forget to remove company related parking passes from the car (like visible hanging tags). Lose bumper stickers that allow people to easily ID your car. Black or white cars are best, as are ubiquitous models. If you ever have the opportunity to use a rental or loaner car when going, do it.

And, of course, put on sunglasses. Yeah, I'm a little paranoid.

I have this Ultimate Warrior costume that they love. I usually just do the face paint once I'm already inside the vestibule, though.

What ever works for you is great. Just too much over thinking for me. I just dress like me, depends if I am going from work or home. Golf shirt, shorts and white sneakers this time of year, if going from home. Can't look obvious.

Don't forget to drive around for a couple of hours watching for a tail / surveillance from behind, laterally and drones. Memorize the cars you pass, the people you see. Use facial recognition spy camera glasses to detect undercover aliens, make a quick sketch of the entryway and look for things that don't fit. Counter-surveillance skills are critical, as is the skill of surprise. Blend in, work the shadows as you move in and when you enter the parlor, toss in a couple of flash bangs to disorient everyone, sweep the place for unwanted patrons and insist that your massage takes place inside a Farady cage. If they don't have one, it's always handy to have a roll of copper screen in your bug out bag. Construct one on the spot and have a relaxing time.

Clean, casual but nice. I have a nice Temple Univ. shirt I like because it is comfortable and has several pockets with zippers. (Never went there, hardly been anywhere near there.)

Be yourself. Any time you try to be someone you are not it gives off fake vibes (unless you are a trained CIA operative).

Personally I take public transit if it's convenient.

Relax...It really doesn't matter. No one is constantly looking at you, even if it is under surveillance, someone has to scan though millions of hours of footage.
Even if someone spotted you ..so what.. you went there for body relaxation spa/sauna.
I simply park my car right outside of spas and visit. I am well groomed, dressed and behave normal..although my heart races a bit as I enter and leave (I am new to this) but am slowly getting comfortable

Why difficult? I have done it many times. Just park in a quiet spot. Back when I used to frequent strip clubs, I always changed to get rid of that stripper perfume.

I finally realized that they were freaking out every time I wore my usual prison orange jumpsuit. To avoid that, I now just strip down to my skivvies before I go in. It cuts out a lot of wasted time and tells them I mean business.

These are all good tactics, but you forgot about the tin foil hat. It makes you invisible to security cameras and Freemasons.

The best day to wear a costume to a parlor without showing real identity would be on October 31st wearing any Halloween costumes. True identity hidden guaranteed! And, Trick Treating these fabulous providers with whatever you bring
