Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=GravelPath]I've visited all of the Chinatown shops that list on either CL or the Phoenix except one.- the lady on the 4th floor above Aiko. Yesterday, I figured I'd give her a try. Called up, nobody answered, but the sweet voice on the answering machine got me excited. Figured that maybe she was with a client, and if I headed on down to Chinatown and called again, she'd be available.

Second phone call, I just got the answering machine again. Either she doesn't take calls while working, or it was her day off. Damn. I considered the old standbys, but was in the mood for some new hands. Started walking around Chinatown, wondering what to do.

Damn, I noticed, that neighborhood has a *lot* of hair salons. Far more hair salons per block than Back Bay. Do Chinese people really get their hair cut that much? I doubt it. I started thinking, most of massage places that advertise, they're hair salons. So maybe some of the other hair salons offer the same services, they're just a little more discrete.

At the same time I was thinking that, I noticed that the places I was walking by all tended to have their phone numbers in great big digits on the outside of the building.

Figured there couldn't be any harm in calling and asking politely if they offered massages.

First one that I called, answer was no. Second one that I called, answer was yes. I asked how much, it was 70 for the hour, figured that was a good sign they were part of the industry.

They had a room in the back, just like every other salon we've talked about on hair. The girl who gave me the salon was attractive. Not as skilled as some places I've gone, likely she doesn't have thirty massage customers every week. On the other hand, she was full of energy and tried hard. She definitely wasn't just going through the motions. I felt like she was trying to earn repeat business. The last third of the massage was especially good. Services are definitely in line with what you'd get elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Anyway, I encourage folks to explore Chinatown. But if you're specifically curious about the place I went, it's in the China Trade Center. Meaning, people on the street won't see you going into the salon itself (and when I went there was noone in the salon other than those who worked there.) It's on Boylston Street, last four digits 1090. [/QUOTE]Great stuff. It's always a good thing to expand on CT places available! My office is close by, so I'll have to start exploring some of them myself.

Hi,

This place has been reviewed here in the past. I have visited and left disapointed. I found this ad yesterday on CL - they are now posting in the erotic section. Has there been a change at this place regarding HE's?

[url]http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/ers/688216794.html[/url]

At least one review on this site said that HE was offered there. Like many places, though, it may be on a case-by-case basis.

I actually didn't go to her building while I was in chinatown, just called her number multiple times. When she didn't answer, I figured it wasn't worth going by. So, it wasn't me while you were there.

[QUOTE=Shooter6]I have not been to this place myself, but two reviews on another site. One positive, one negative. Both say there is no HE offered. Apparently once you're in the shop she lets you know her service is not "full body".

By the way, Gravel, did you by chance stop by aiko on your way out? I was in there and someone came to the door for a walk-in. Figured it was likely someone here.[/QUOTE]

Cloude -- that's the one!

[QUOTE=Cloude]I think I know which hair salon you went to. They use to advertise on CL. I remember having a report on them. I think the name of the salon is Ecco. Anyways, they had signs saying there is it is not a sexual massage and to keep on the underwear. I didn't think they would change. But I guess they had to survive somehow.

Great report on CH. The money is well spent if one doesn't mind driving to RI. The only downside is that I have never seen the same girl twice. Btw, the place is located in Downtown. The best time to go there is 11-12 on Sunday. Downtown Prov is dead on Sundays. No traffic, free parking, you'll be the first customer so no waiting, and in RI perfectly legit.

Harderik,
Anna is pretty hot IMHO. Having to deal with the interruptions of the front room and the phone are more than offset by her performance. She is one of the few Asians that has dirty talked me really well at the end of the performance.

AL,
Good post, a bit wordy, but good. The drive sounds like a hassle so I would likely make a day of it myself. Visit a couple spas and take in the full experience. (Someone posted a map here at one point). I wonder if a limo full of mongers could get a better deal!

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had visited here. This add is in CL under theraputic. It seems to suggest more might be avaiable and also seems like they may give a good massage.

Al,

Great post. We have no idea what AMP mongering is about up here. RI is full time all the time.

The wallet check is pretty standard when TS is offered. Most regulars will skip it for party time. Plus they get a break for the standards. Typically its a good way to set your max and let her know. Hiding the rest. Money clip full works for me with the rest in the secret spot somewhere else.

IMO you guys are way too trusting. Of course your folding money is safe at any established place. But I for one am not about to leave my ID, my credit cards, and so on, back in the room when I'm getting a shower. Every single massage parlor (Asian or otherwise) that I have been to in the last 40 years has had a little waterproof bag for your personal belongings (except for a few that only had lockable lockers, like Marlow's in CT; and that always made me uneasy, I knew damned well Marlow had a duplicate key). Take it with you to the shower, sauna, wherever. Of course you would know immediately if your cash is lifted. But if your credit card is run through an embosser, and 3 months later a charge from some random business shows up on your bill, how would you ever connect that with the AMP? And if someone can get to your ID without your knowing, all kinds of bad stuff can happen--again, with no trail back to the AMP. Why take any chances?

I visted this place 2x hoping for more. Got a fair massage with no extras.

Draping was used and there was no hint of anything extra, even on my second visit. I won't be returning.

[QUOTE=Asslover08]The fives minutes I was in the sauna she must have looked at my IDs and cash and came back for me. (I know she saw my IDs because she slipped verbally and kind of knew what I did for a living based on my work ID). I know some of you would have been pissed but I took no umbrage at her tactics. I state and emphasize there was no theft. Not totally honest but so what. Just getting an idea of who this non-regular walk in was by looking at my IDs and also a brilliant tactic by spying on what I had in my wallet so she could have her own price reference..[/QUOTE]I have no problem with them checking my Wallet for some ID to let them know that i'm not part of LE. The first time it happened I was a little disturbed, but after that I knew how to play their game. Now I just bring a set amount of cash, My ID, and a money clip to the AMP.

Another trick I learn is that the really Hot looking girls tends to set a high price for FS and they usually won't go down much. But if you go early enought in the day they would be more reasonable. Later in the day, depending on the day, if they already hit their mark they problaly won't budge.

Happy Mongering.

Now there's a really scary thought, HAHA![QUOTE=Dan Wesson] I wonder if a limo full of mongers could get a better deal![/QUOTE]

I have visited 2x and have had a fair massage with no extras.

I was draped the whole time and it waas pretty clear to me that there would be no extra activity, even on the second visit. I will not be returning.

Thanks for the tip on the dirty talk with Anna. I'll definitely have to get her going on that next time I see her!

I agree about the interruptions. Not the ideal scenario, but her performance really was outstanding. I'm looking forward to seeing her again already.
