Massage Parlor Reports

I've heard the same.

[QUOTE=AvgJoe;2210786]Maple has gone down hill in the past year or so. I used to frequent them a while back when the girls were beautiful and the service was fantastic. I think they changed ownership and since then it's just been very average girls & service at best. I personally stay away.[/QUOTE]

Tried to hit Cove and couldn't get in. Ivy is still too prominent for my taste so I figured I'd stop by Lanes since I've never been in there.

Is it me or was I the only one looking for a Mike Brady, Architect plaque on that staircase?

Anyhoo, get inside and bell rings. I wait about 5 minutes and mamasan comes up. Had to be 55, could see the v notch trowel marks on her face where she applied her makeup. I asked for the hour, she said "no sauna and no table shower today". I ask if there's a discount since the sign right behind her mentions it as part of the hour, she tells me to come back tomorrow. She then turned on her Payless shoe source heels and walked away.

I prominently left as well. For those who've TOFTT in the past I salute you. I will move on to other hunting grounds.

Not worth it. Much better out there.

I first started going there about 10 years ago and never once had a good looking or even nice female attendant. I have tried it about once a year just to see if the place had changed but it never has.

One time the 60 year old mms who took my money then walks into the room and wanted to give me a massage. OMG she was terrible looking but luckily my phone had just rung and after talking for a second told her I had to quickly return to work and could I get a refund. She said ok and gave me all my money back without a hassle so that was at least a plus.

I have not been back in over a year now and will never return.

The is a new spot in Naperville north side.

That is called pine tree.

Anyone toftt?

[QUOTE=Latex;2213891]The is a new spot in Naperville north side.

Everything about it says no extras. Location, Setup (the room I was in had 3 other massage tables in it), the door to get into the place was wide open to the outside, and just nothing about it gave a vibe that anything else would be an option.

So yeah, the price wasn't bad if you want a relaxing and solid massage, but that's all I ever expect this place to offer.

Just opened. Visited Yesterday. Darn busy. Legit, but very nice (mid 40's) lady and very good massage for $50. She mainly massages women vs guys. (Can you blame her?) Seems like two rooms with doors and one with a curtain. Of course I got the curtain.

The Craigslist ad says 300 Glen Ellyn Rd, Bloomingdale. That's a beauty parlor. She is a couple doors down at 306. In the meantime here's the old ad. Needless to say the picture is merely a photographer's rendition of what an Asian Masseuse should look like. Nobody there looks like that.

How does this place stay in business?

[QUOTE=Latex;2226788]I often wonder about Lane's, they have been there for 23 years maybe more.

How does this place stay in business?[/QUOTE]Figure it out. How much is their massage now, $80 per hour? If they just do 7 a day that's $560 of which the owner keeps 60% or $336 a day, times 7 days is $2350 a week or $9400 a month. If he spends $2,000 for rent / expenses in that crappy old building that still leaves him $7400 a month or $88,000 a year to do nothing.

I would take 2 or 3 places like that for $88,000 a year each. Not a bad income to do nothing except look after the place from time to time.

I am looking to find time and try out a new place I saw in Darien. Has anyone else already tried and have any feedback. If you have any info please share. I will report once I have a chance to try.

The last time I was there was probably 1999, and I swore the place off. She was all friendly and chatty and playful until it was time for the deed, and she had the nerve to ask for. 8 for the most basic of service. I said no thank you. I wonder what the balance sheet of the grandmas looks like with guys walking out after she quotes them.

I thought I would TOFTT and check it out. On Elmhurst road just south of 290. Two girls working I got the tiny one.

She seemed a little nervous I tried but no extras available. Nothing. They didn't have a shower either. In the room.

Was a sign that said "regular massage Only" as other places maybe after a few visits something may be available.

The massage was very good though.

After finding Cove too busy went to MS. Ugly ms said it was 80 for massage ts and sauna (I don't care about your crazy $ system who is it trying to fool). It was hard to understand ms but what I found out it was for half hr massage and ts and sauna. Place seemed clean older mt was rough and had no skills and not the least bit sensual. On flip she insisted on cover and would not budged. Asked if self service was ok and she said no. When I started anyway she left room and said I had 2 minutes, this after about 15 minute massage. Soon yelling outside door time was up after about 1 minute. Left with no tip. Long time AMP fan and this ranks with worst experience.

Has anyone had a good experience at heavenly massage in Lombard?

Got in to see Mya on Friday afternoon, but misunderstood her on the phone so I only got 30 min as she had a prebooked apt. Adjusted my tip due to being shorted and she was totally fine with it since I paid for the full hour. Good massage as usual and she gets more and more comfortable with me as I return. Told her we'd both make up for the shorted time on next visit.

Had a very thorough visit recently with Bonny at Pine, and I'm trying to decide whether to return there or try something new like Cove. I'm only in the area for a brief visit and don't want to waste my time on a HE-only place. I've read the FF exhaustively, but I can only tell that Cove is well liked and busy but not what's on the menu. Also, what's going rate for AMPFS these days? My tip was accepted so quickly that I suspect I overpaid.

If a plain yes or no answer is too direct to publicly state in the forum, please PM me.

Thanks Gents,

Thanks for the PM, Stan!

So I TOFT and checked out the new AMP in Darien. They are on BP in the massage section. I paid the one hour fee and was taken to the room by an older women and gentlemen who was sitting at the front desk. They did not know where anything was, how to turn on the music or anything. I was hoping they were the mamsan I would get someone new for the massage but no luck. Not only did I get an old ugly masseuse the massage was horrible, she pet me for a half hour. I asked her to massage my back more and she was like I did 3 times already. I think she may have been the foot masseuse because she massaged my feet and legs the whole time. She went out to get a hot towel and came back in because the boss told her it was not long enough. Finally a new young, thin pretty good looking masseuse came in and started giving me an awesome massage. She climbed on the table and really gave me a good rub. I was rubbing her leg trying to give her the signals but she left to let the original lady finish. I did not ask for extras because I did not want any from the original lady. There might be promise in the other 2 I saw sitting there when I left. The one that came in to massage me for a little had pink leopard print nylons and high boots and was looking good. I went after work but might have gotten there a little too early.

If anyone checks this plan out share or PM me if you got the younger girls and was there anything extra on the menu.

I went to maple recently and actually had a halfway decent time and I think I'd repeat. Anyone else go there recently / regularly. Pm details if necessary.

Back again to meet Yumi this time, very nice. Would definitely repeat.

Kings & Ace close up, and this magically appears. Part of me would love to go on their first day of business, just to say I was at an AMP on their first day of business, but then again.

MP Reviews showed 2 women, $10 tip and said "legit massage". Of course that means nothing. Most guys on this forum know how to get a happy massage at a legit place.

Happy Turkey Day one and all.

Was getting some lunch and saw a fire truck and ambulance out in front of Cove today. Hopefully Yung didn't give someone a heart attack. Going to have a hard time explaining that to the wife LOL.

Stopped by over the weekend to catch up with Mya. Services continue to be excellent. Left relaxed and a huge grin.

After a long hiatus I went back for three visits.

Same average rub.

Overall, still average in all ways.

Needed a good hard massage and went to an old spot that's well known for not giving extras. Got a great table shower, hard massage, back walk etc. Went to the finish, asked for a BBBJ and actually got it! Provider wasnt exactly a 10, but had a great time. No discussion of $.

I'm looking to head back to Pine Tree after not going for a couple of months after subpar services. I will always pine for Joanne who is long gone, but are there any other girls currently on staff who are fun and enjoy what they do?

I thought I read a report about a girl that a monger did FS with the entire hour, but can't find it.

Spent an hour with Anna at Pine Tree and she was absolutley wonderful. She paid me her full attention during the massage and was even better during "extra" time.

I went back to the tree. Its been a long time.

As usual very busy place.

The girl walked in, I did not like her looks, so I knew it was just going to be massage only.

The massage was actually good.

I can confirm there is a new MP in w ville that will makes Green look worse than it already does. Seniors PM for details.

Was there again Thursday night. Great as always. I asked a few questions to take the temp about external play, and she didn't seem too put off by it. Time will tell.

Maya again?

[QUOTE=DMichaels69;2359720]Maya again?[/QUOTE]Yes. She was kind enough to give me her digits, instead of my calling into the main # to see if she's available. I'll be out of town for the next few weeks so will try that when I get back.

She told me she's going home to Korea and won't be back for a few weeks. Wasn't sure if the spa would be open while she was gone. Will msg me when she returns.

She did offer to see me today as she was heading there for some personal items. Couldn't get free but smiled knowing that might be an option going forward.

To be shocked by anything is so rare these day, but how pleasantly surprised I was last week to see that Joann returned to Pine Tree. She is as flirty, bubbly and hot as ever, so playful. Run to see her boys.

Stan.

For those of you who saw Anna at Pine Tree, you know she was a ball of energy whose focus was on you 1000% of your visit. Sadly she is gone. She had an awesome attitude and was really into enjoying the services she provided.

I know Lanes has a bad reputation but noticed they are now advertising on BP claiming to be under "new management" with "new staff".
