Anyone been there?
Made my first trip to HS, having seen it for many years. Very satisfactory experience. Saw two girls besides the mamsan, but don't remember the names. Great full service for 1.2 plus hr fee of .6. Got a good massage after mentioning my back was hurting a little.
Very satisfied.
Yeah, LA Spa is in Portland, but for all practical purposes, it's Lansing.
It's going strong ... see my report in Portland section.
I found some bad reviews of Lexy of Lansing on the Michigan CO-OP board she posts on Craigs list a lot.
Shorts you on time and upsells. If you need the web address for the CO-OP PM me.
(also on main Lansing forum)
The last time I tried Hawaii (in the summer?), I got a "we don't do that here," which I reported. Most of you reported differently, so I finally tried again.
Well, things have changed, for me at least. I highly recommend now. I apologize, but for various reasons, I'm not going to go into details. But while it's expensive (I'm not a good negotiator), it's what we're looking for. All aspects of experience were good. I went twice over several days. Sorry for not saying more.
(for review of LA spa, see Portland thread)
Had a new experience a few days ago at Hawaii. It was so busy, they put me in the kitchen to wait. This was about 3 p.m. on a weekday. I got to pet the little mutt instead of the kitty for awhile. Later, when I was being serviced, the doorbell rang at least 4 times. Service continues to be excellent and complete.

There have been a couple of new tv shows that feature AMPs in either their storyline or as part of an episode. "In case of emergency" - one of the lead character is an asian babe who work in an AMP, and offers FS. On the one coming in March, "The winner" he has been shown in a clip visiting an AMP with a really hot babe dressed like Sandy while he puts down his own linen. The economy hasn't gotten that better, so I don't see how frequent visitors are hitting the AMPs more, so more likely it is new business who has seen and are now sampling.
Just be careful, since higher visibility can also make some places more noticeable to their friends in blue just up Lansing Road. And aside from the Hawaiian, there is only LA Spa in Portland that is left, if you can stomach to drive that far!!!
Recently went to Hawaii. Haven't been there in a while, but decided to kill some time. OK massage from a late 30's/early 40's, probably a 6 on the AMP scale. Didn't really want full service and wasn't offered. Did get a HJ for .60.
Probably won't go back for a while until the girls get a little younger.
Does anyone know anything about the velvet touch. I used to got to the one in mount morris. But it was raided 3 years ago. And they no longer offer private sessions. Does the velvet in lansing offer them still. And if so whats the deal. Havnt been around in awhile.
Thanks
The Velvet Touch near Portland (off 98A of I-96) is still open and still has women.
However...
Velvet Touch salons are nothing but utter rip-offs. All you get is an overpriced handjob. Nothing more. If you really want a good time, just drive a few more miles down the road and hit Hawaii Spa instead. You'll get more bang for your bucks. Literally.

Well, unless there's really been some changes, you might have just gotten unlucky or someone didn't know you. As recently as last month got FS from girl close to 30. If you look at some of the posts, you can pick up some of the names and know who to ask for. ... of course, maybe things really HAVE changed ... it can happen quickly.
It's amazing they've stayed going with that pathetic service ... man, I was taken there for my so-called batchelor's party 23 years ago (!!!) and it was the same back THEN!

Your better off going anywhere but the velvet touch, biggest fippoff in town, always has been.

Decided to finally get back there, and was upsold big time. cbbjcim and daty for
$2. On top of the house fee, too! Biggest bunch of crock I got was because I happen to be well hung, Yung (watch out for this one) didn't want to do FS for anything less than $$ and didn't want to damage herself riding a big one. Either there are a lot of guys with small ones going in there, or these old ladies are just too old to handle it anymore. While i was there it was pretty busy (Friday afternoon) and they only had Yung and another girl, didn't get to see what she looked like though. So enjoy Hawaii fellas, I was a little too insulted to be going back anymore.
