Massage Parlor Reports

[SirCody]

Since there are pretty much zero options in kzoo, and I didn't want to drive to BC, I decided to give TLC a try after a very long time. I haven't been there for all the same reasons you all haven't but thought I might be pleasantly surprised.

Well, when I get inside I was greeted by the same mama that was there last time. It has probably been two years since I have been there. She leads me to the room and in walks in, surprise a chick north of 50. I got a glimpse of the other worker but was also 50+.

She starts the massage and gives a little small talk. She really worked the shoulders and back. But she covers the bottom half with the towel. That has never happened there. So she does a good massage on my back, shoulders, neck, & arms. Then she asked me to flip. Notice I didn't mention legs or gluts. Because she never touched them.

On the flip she does my shoulders, neck and chest and then says "all done" I was kind of surprised so I said, "That's it you all done?" She said yes then turned on the light.

To be honest she wasn't worth pressing the issue (older & flat flat ass) so I just got dressed and she helped. As I was getting dressed she looked down and said I could DIY What? When has that been a thing there? I declined then I said she could do something. She says, "No I don't want to get in trouble" I ask what whom? She said "I will get fired" So as I am leaving I try to give her a tip (It was a $20 because the massage was good) but she just looked and asked, "What for?

I don't know. It may be me but the whole experience was strange. So I guess TLC has turned into Massage Works excepts the women at TLC still where short skirts. I won't be repeating. Just thought I would give you all an update.

Later Fellas.

Well, a waiter doesn't make below minimum wage. By law, they're paid minimum wage if they don't make the rest per hour in tips. That said, one doesn't wait tables to make close to minimum wage, otherwise they wouldn't want to work there + not wanted to be working there. It'd be more like -- I know how tough it is making ends meet (not meat).

IMO, $10 for a hhr (25%) + $20 for a hr (33% due to discounted price per time) -- when everything's 100% legit for grandma to experience -- is totally fine and should have no complaints of being cheap.

But yeah, it is good you knew 100% tip for a 100% legit experience (even if a good one) is outlandish. Unless she said "Me give you sucky sucky next time," then I'd consider it. LOL.

This was 30 years ago. I made $1. 85 per hour plus tips.

I worked my through college as a waiter, and I know how tough it is working for $2 an hour.

Holy Batman. $20 - $25 tip! I wonder how much do you tip a waitress!

That place and the jackass tease website! If I go back I'll ask for oil and self Serv.

And tell them to get rid of the fucking tease website.

Typically I am a very good tipper. After getting out of the service, I worked my through college as a waiter, and I know how tough it is working for $2 an hour.

With that said, this was all new territory for me. Always have went to AMPs where extras were delivered. I realized that a 100% tip was pretty stupid after I left.

Took your advice and went to see them. They got all the kinks out. It was kind of funny / embarrassing, when she flipped me over, I had a raging hard on. She just looked at it chuckled, and said "happens to a lot of guys" and went on with the massage. Very professional. Probably one of the better massages I have had. I felt way better afterward. I may repeat yet this week.

Question to other members- what is the average tip for a massage with no extras? I tipped the door fee. Is that too much or not enough. This is all new territory for me.

I'm in agreement with electronman. When I go there (or to any masseuse) a 60 minute massage (with nothing else) $10-20 is a good enough tip. Matching the door fee is way too much. They do a great job at Asian spa though.

If I recall correctly, the door fee is $40/ half hour and $60 for hour. Tipping the door fee is high, in my opinion. I tip 10-20 dollars. Recall that this is not an extras place. On one occasion, the masseuse folded a towel and covered my private parts on the flip; on the other occasion, a towel was not used on the flip. In neither case did I get a hint of extras. Of course, I don't speak a word of Chinese so any persuasive ability on my part was limited to gestures.

What do you tip your waitresses? The price of the meal? LOL.

The usual 20%.

I would recommend Asian Massage on W. Michigan. It is a small house just east of Drake Road on the south side of W. Michigan. No extras, but pretty good massage.

Sly, Agree w / EMan 100%.

Asian Massage is best & most reliable.

Usually no wait either- 2 or 3 girls working some days.

Good Luck- Feel Better!

All,

I am looking for recommendations for a good massage therapist in Kalamazoo. I have messed up my shoulder and neck. Went to the Dr. And she said nothing really wrong, but it is tight. Tried Whitcomb, and there was a long wait. I am not looking for extras, just a very good massage.

I have had a massage from Sophia and another from CeCe.

As noted by others here and Asian Spa on W Michigan are good places to get a thorough and relaxing massage. I am hard pressed to pick a favorite place or masseuse. I generally end up at Whitcomb simply because of my driving routes for business.

If you have a massage from any of the ladies at either location, I believe you will find it an acceptable experience.

If you want what might be found at TLC or one of the Battle Creek AMPs, you should go to one of them.

YMMV pm me!

Was checking out the new desert place two dooors down and noticed.

Because it was dark out, I believe two new Asian lady's at MW.

One looked hot nice! Other looked like older teacher but kind of nice!

I was going to try for the hot one but of course a guy pulled up and she took him back.

Sure didn't give much time to get on the table.

I will try again!

Massage therapy the sidewalk looks like it's going to collapse!

Cece has a white Toyota she teases to much.

Not my China doll. Others yes. Pm me for the.

Rest of the story!

Enjoy 2019!! 18 flew by!
