I'd rate it a little higher
[QUOTE=Fun Sex]The same girl (Young?) gave me the massage and with a HJ. Here massage is rated a 4, if that. But her HJ can rated a 7+, so over all we know which one is more important to us.[/QUOTE]From my own experience, I'd rate Young's massage about double (I. E., 8), but that's because she provides a very decent back-walk. Although she's perhaps at the high limit of weight for someone you'd want to give you such a massage, she's competent in what she's doing in this regard. Without the back-walk, though, I'd be inclined to maybe take a point off. Overall, she has good massage technique.
For those seeking a decent back-walk, I would recommend Young.

I concur! It pays to be nice!
[QUOTE=Pilot Aviator]Today, I visited soft touch in West Springfield.
I called ahead and made an appointment. But, when I arrived they were unusually busy. The manager (Lilly) was obviously unhappy she had mis-judged the customer flow (resulting in my therapist being tied-up with another client when I arrived).
As busy as the manager was, she wanted to make things right, so she provided me the TS and massage. It was great.
Some are unhappy with the unexpected. Me, when I visit, I am there only to relax, so, I try and be flexible. Since the only thing I expect is to get a great massage and leave more relaxed than when I arrived, I almost always enjoy the experience.
As Lilly was massaging my feet and calf muscles, I kept assuring her I was fine and enjoying the theraputic massage.
Did I mention they were busy? Lilly had to answer the door/greet three other customers duing my visit. She wasn't happy about the interuptions -- but, business was brisk.
I think my calm, relaxed attitude help smooth the visit.
I enjoyed my visit and the conversation and I received a great massage (score this visit 7+/10). Standard rates and tip.
Remember to be nice to MMS and all the ladies
PA[/QUOTE]I had exactly the same experience last year (I want to make sure that I wasn't amongst those who unexpectedly show up when PA 'flew' in).
Mama-san was absolutely nice (Lily is new; started sometime this year) and took the chores from the busy attendants. I laud them for their hospitality and skill. I even gave her $20 tip, on top of what I gave my therapist.
I am glad to hear that Lily carried that hospitality as well.
Stay safe out there!
Speaking of Oriental in the Name
[QUOTE=Notronmexico]Got back in town from a short weekend jaunt and was in the mood for some relaxation. I'd spotted a place that looked like an AMP off Old Dominion Rd in McLean called Oriental Touch. Hadn't seen any intel on it so thought I'd check it out.
I show up and the place has the right trappings - curtains, a doorbell, and "oriental" in the name. I get in and they have a waiting area. An older woman asks if I have an appointment, I say no and I can hear her discussing with some boss guy in the back. She says she can make time for me today for an hour, but I'm really starting to not feel this place. Not excited about the therapist either so I told her I made a mistake and left. Still not sure if the place is AMP but I didn't like the vibe regardless.
Left and decided to try the Merrifield Wellness Center instead since that'd been getting a lot of praise lately. Boy am I glad I did. I showed up unannounced around 1 PM, no problem. Was greeted by a very attractive and youthful (20s? 30s?) lady who said her name was "Ha Ha" like the laugh. She was pretty funny, very playful, and exuberant personality.
Everything was great - the facilities, the massage, and all other manner of activities. Probably the best time I've ever had at an AMP. She had a great body, great attitude, and skills, and the menu was quite exhaustive. I tipped $ and will almost definitely try this place again. Hopefully this girl is indicative of all the talent they have there.[/QUOTE]
A week or so ago, visited a new place called Hong Hair Spa or Chinese Health & Oriental Bodywork. Lady on the phone was pleasant, decent english, and told me to come over. While it was open, it did not appear to me to be fully ready for business. Anyways, there were two therapists for me to choose from. Standard Nova style massage, but no shower available. VERY nice staff all from China. By the way, literally, next to this business is another spa with Korean staff as well as a Nail Spa business.
