Massage Parlor Reports

[Corncob]

Fellow mangers: I will be in Chicago for work soon and wondered if someone could direct me to a good Korean or Thai massage parlor. I really don't like Chinese places as I prefer table shower and a broader menu. Thanks in advance!

I had just visited ivy massage on Main and Roosevelt in lombard. Strong massage with fun older ladies. 80+40 with Russian finish.

Place is a waste of time and money. Self service only.

Jessica is closing up shop soon. She is offering 60 for Hour and 40 for 30. NO TIPPING and it's DIY. So if your on a budget and don't want to spend 120 for a 5 min handshake from somewhere else. I would give her a try. Great massage too. I have no complaints.

Spa is in the basement of the building below a dentist office. The rooms have doors not just a curtain which I appreciated but the shower was just that, not a table shower. Massage was poor. In fact the back walk was actually painful and I told her to stop. Decent tease before the flip and afterwards their was no drama. Choose a nude HJ and got a body slide as a bonus. Will repeat.

I had 20's and 100 and my pocket want me to give her 20 for that? I paid door fee, she did what I was there for, that's why they haggle cause of people loosely giving tips for service they should be doing anyway which is a good massage. If I had 5 or 10 I would have given. But to be haggled for tip on service she was paid to do? Then no.

I guess It is hard to put ourselves into your shoes. But really, a $20 tip for an hour-long (quality) legit massage is perfectly reasonable. I tip $25 to my weekly legit massage regular (five years now). But, that said, if they led you on and made you think you were getting extras. Then yeah, the non-tip sends a message.

Also, keep in mind that (depending on the spa), they get a flat amount for the massage, (maybe $20) or a percentage of the door, or in some cases they only get the tip. So every time they don't get a tip, maybe next time they will start negotiating halfway through the massage. You reap what you sow.

I'll make another suggestion: A couple times I have had MTs say self service. I say ok, but can you help me? A month ago, this happened and I had her massage balls during. She was afraid I was LEO. After my "gesture" convinced her she BBBJ me. Week after it was FS. So, who knows, maybe you gave off a LEO vibe and the self service was her way to have you prove you were not.

The final thing is I always bring exact change for multiple scenarios. For precisely the reason you cite. You need flexibility to tip higher or lower depending on what angel or devil ends up doing the massage. Bob.

I had it a couple of times in Dallas at a spa called Red Rose. They call it b2 be (body to body) down there. The girls there also do tongue lashing (girls lick your whole body and in most cases including ass rimming). You can read more in the Dallas forum.

Dallas is another AMP heaven. The girls come into the room scantly dressed. There is no pretense why you are there. The best part is there is no negotiations. The market rate is $. 4 for half hour and $$ for an hour, all in. Also, there is a street there that has about 7-8 spas on the same block. You can go in and ask for a line up. If you don't like what you see, just go next door. Two of those spas have Thai girls, if you have craving for Thai!

I need to visit Dallas for personal reasons so I just booked flights. Round trip from Midway - $92.10. Yep, ninety two dollars!! If any players are considering a trip down there now is the time to book, sale ends soon. Hopefully I'll find some time to visit the AMP's.

That is a 50 doller massage with a table shower. Wow is right. I guess you aren't a tipper.

I give 20 for just the massage?

How about everyone else?

I see a massage as a service thus you should tip.

[Hellatrouble123]

So she gives you a good massage and just because she doesn't want to give extras, no tip? Wow.

You got lucky! Was there today, older lady cindy skinny asian takes me in. Good massage. On flip. She massages legs and ask me to self serve. Said no. You do it. Said she doesn't do it. Didn't haggle just asked her to wipe me and got dressed. As I was about to leave, she asks for tip saying she take care of me and massage me I said: " ha no change! Sorry" LOL.

Had a chance to visit recently. Door fee of. 5 got me an OK massage and the older therapist (5 scale) took it upon herself to make me happy with no negotiations. I left the standard tip and she was happy. May repeat as my ATF is quite busy these days.

Pam is very cautious so you will probably need an in. Her girls always provide great service but I haven't seen them lately because they stopped using apartments and moved to motels, which would be ok with me except you know they don't have enough towels and sheets for the volume they see each day. One of the things I appreciated about apartments is many times they would have laundry going while you are there so it is a safe bet you aren't getting someone else's dirty towel. Just wondering if anyone else has thoughts on this.

Pity about needing an in with Pam. I got lucky Sunday night and won two quarters in our office SB squares and I was going to treat myself. I was thinking about trying the new one that has been advertising near Bronsville but I have only seen newbies post about it. With all of the Stings going on recently I am leery of taking the chance. I don't mind TOFT and taking a chance of a sub par experience but I just don't have the experience to make sure Uncle LEO won't be home when I visit. My only Non-AMP experience has been in Vegas and overseas.

I have always seen that take place as well, the quick hose down before laying on the mat, but that's not really saying that its sanitary. Don't get me wrong I have done the TS but I tend to not dwell on that fact. Just like the towels and / or linens that are on the tables. They are the same ones used all day. I've witnessed them straighten up the towel near the head of the table for the next person coming in. You just manage to work around all that stuff.

The quick hose-down is not enough to keep it sanitary. Over the years (and by years I mean 25+) I twice got a bad skin rash over (what would you guess?) my chest and underarms. It took a while to get rid of them, but ever since I have avoided the TS. Which is really too bad because I love the sensation of the warm water and the gentle rubbing by an attractive oriental lady with some nice teasing.

I remembers about 10 years ago I hit AMP heaven when I looked up and seen 3 AMPs right next to each other door by door by door. Oh mamma I still remember a sweet 21 yr old named Yumi.

I just want to say that I always try to give enough info so that people know what and where I am talking about. When it comes to trade I understand if you have a number or special arrangement that is worth trading but if you are going to post about a spa and then want to trade for a location then forget it.

[IlDiavolo]

Don't be afraid to share information. Most of the ladies you will meet would step over you if you were lying dead in the street. Its a business transaction and that's all. I've learned this the hard way.

I figure you are 100% right, and although I was trying to protect the provider (s) on some level, it's more about protecting our good, hard found spots so LE doesn't ruin it for everyone.
