Had to meet a friend in the C. P. Area for business and drove past the Y at 1:30 and saw the Y was in the process changing over to new city management....
[QUOTE=Dave #2]What's the recommended tipping at Y?
Is Table Shower also offere at Y? Thanks![/QUOTE]
Shower is given if you take the hour. I, and many others who are knowledgeable, recommend against the half hour. With that level of service, a shower is often not given.
They have an interesting way of handling payment at the Y. No doubt it is designed to avoid being charged with things like "masturbation for pay". But I like the way they do it.
When you go in, you will see a very large sign on the inner door stating the cost of your "relaxation session". No mention whatsoever about massage there or from mama. However my therapist repeatedly referred to my massage. As an example, after the session was over, she asked me how my massage was.
In any case, no money is collected up front. When the delicate discussions concerning the "after-service" take place, you will be quoted a price. When you are completely finished with your service and your after-service, you are expected to just fork over the agreed upon total quantity of money. That will normally be a total of about $200, unless you are a much better bargainer than I am. From what I have seen, that is on par with other, similar services and venues in your area.
My guess is that if you were to try to shaft them after the fact, your name would be mud in the 'ham at the very least. It is entirely possible that some clown would appear out of the woodwork and that he may make a big impression on you.
Btw, for your $200 you will get everything except DFK and anal. I've never met a Korean provider who will provide anal, but I've met a few who will DFK.
Happy days!

Anyone confirm or deny these claims?
I made the trip out to CP last night to visit the Y and it was closed. WTF?
It was around 10:30pm is this normal? I was under the impression they were open until 2:00am. On my previous visits I always went before dark. Just felt safer to me.

I was next door at OC tue nite and wonder why it was closed ?
Hi guys,
I am planning a trip up to the big ham next month. If anyone hears any more news on the "Yy" please let us all know.
Is it open? Is it closed?
Has it moved?
L. G.
Come to think of it when I went through the OC parking lot I got the stare down from two of Birmingham's finest.
Had a friend that was at the OC during the raid. Uncle Leo pulled up to door in van. SWAT poured out wearing black ski masks and hand guns drawn. I guess those 90lb Asian therapists no some deadly massage judo?
I hope the best for all of them.

Wonder if they will open back up at a later date?
Did the s. S. Get raided allso? And what about the other one in that area
(never been to it and can't remember its name)
And as soon as anyone hears if the "Y"' opens back up please let us all know.
L. G.
Dang,
After reading the reports earlier this week I planned my trip from wisconsin to florida with a Y detour. Planned on tonight. Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Seems a little weird this hasn't been in the news.
Last week when I was in there at mid-day, LEO was hanging out in the OC parking lot when I went in and came out. There were also an unusually large number of customers inside.
Post any rumors/news if you got it.

LE went in for a routine inspection, and some of the providers received citation for massage w/o permit, as they rotate girls so frequently that it's hard to get permit for all the girls who work there. I am not sure whether their license is revoked or not. No arrest was made, that's why it was not on the news.

The Y is the most consistent place for guaranteed top shelf quality and relaxation.
Thanks to all those providing insight on the situation.
Well I hope everything stays the same there, because I've gotten really good massages the last two times I've been in there. In fact, I'd put the massage Kay gave me on par with a massage I've gotten from a licensed massage therapist...wonder if she was one of the ones without a permit.
Jello I'm just curious was your friend haressed in any way when leo busted in?
L. G.
Robbie did pack it in, I hope the best for her, but probably couldn't justify staying there earning what she was. Doris is dealing with some very serious issues health wise. Robbie's replacement is a very large gal named Pam. She's returned after a long hiatus, and this puts two Pam(s) there to carry the load. For me the AMPs are too hot and the dull thrills at HT, have me looking to move. The sad thing is Doris is the most connected, but has too many issues. There is a slight chance of another non AMP gig, in a near by (well kept city). If someone here wants to call them and confirm they have an a licensed massage therapist, I'll give you the digits. The mining process is all yours, but it's produced gold dating back several years. Put it this way, high quality ore and better than any the 3 Sisters Mine ever produced. Same tools apply.

They bring in swat when they make an arrest at a Spa., Why its not in the news because alot of times they will tell the news people wait until they finish their investigation meaning they probably want to check the other spas also. The clients that are at the spa they tell them to get dressed and go home but only if they were not caught in the act of doing anything sexual.
Anyways that has been my experience.
[QUOTE=Lonely Guy]Jello I'm just curious was your friend haressed in any way when leo busted in?
L. G.[/QUOTE]When LE busted in, the provider told him that he cannot be serviced. My friend was already hearing the noise outside, he asked her how much he owed her. She told him, "Don't worry about money, just leave. " He has already got the TS and a partial massage. He walked out of the room, one of those LE took a bad look at him, but didn't ask any question. He was going to wait outside and see, but he was too nervous, and he left the area. He is not a local. He took the long drive from Atlanta.
There is know way the are going to send in the swat team to arrest some girls giving it up. That is a total bs story. What are they expecting the girls to be armed and dangerous that they need to assemble the body armor and shields to rush in. They don't even do that when they bust a crack house.
Jello,
First you say it was a routine inspection which would not be preformed by swat then later you say the came busting in. So which was it.

Last time they got busted was when it was still QT Spa . I was very lucky because I had closed my Spa so I could take a break and the girl who worked for me went home to visit her sister but I remember that Super Sauna had gotten a citation and then QT got raided. I remember watching it on the news and thinking thank god I closed mine before they could raid it. I remember watching it on Thursday 6:00 o'clock news.

So now I don't do that anymore.

I remember the "other Pam" from several years back. If memory serves, she was not open to providing any extras. Nor, quite frankly, would I necessarily have wanted any from her.

I know they have done it in Atlanta because I saw it with my own eyes and my fellow spa girls have told me their experiences.

He came out and left the scene quick, he has seen police cars and vans outside.
There is another post which mentioned that swat came out of a van wearing ski mask and hand gun drawn. I was only trying to connect the facts. My friend has seen the van, but he didn't notice any swat. Only LE and Y know exactly what happened.
I was over at the O'C harlies eating a steak with my dad and we overheard some of the employees talking about yoshikos Bust. They said that it was the swat team in all their gear bursting thru to the spas and they watched the spa workers coming out in handcuffs and being arrested.

I was just wondering when spa workers get arrested, can they get bailed out on the same day, do they have to take the mugshots, do they have to go back to their home country etc. etc. Sometime I feel really sorry for them.

Sounds like they had a bad day!

If they determine that human trafficking was the case then the Feds will be involved and more then likely the place will be shut down for good. The spa owners could face serious jail time. The girls will either make a deal in hopes of getting their greencard or they will clam up and then be sent back to their country
This is terrible news about Yoshikos.
Why can't the cops concentrate on busting real criminals.
I just find it odd that if that really happened at the y as its being reported then why are all of the other spas still open, are thety not risking the same fate. They all talk to each other the Emos (mamasas no when it is hot) why would they be open. I just don't belive these stories, kind of like a urban legend that keeps growing. Where are there pics in the county jail or booking reports I mean its not like we book 5-6 asian women every day in Bham.
Sad to hear about troubles at the Y. Traveled to B'ham about two weeks ago and had a really good first visit there. The overall attitude of the staff was fantastic. Sunshine was cute as a button.
The experience completely recalibrated my expectations for service.

Hey if you don't belive me go talk to the waitress at the O'Charlies thats right next to Yoshiko they saw it all happen I've driven past super sauna but it looked deserted to me. The other spas don't really talk with Bali Spa but they talk with super sauna and vip.
Remember last year when LE was making all the arrests off of craigslist in Birmingham the news didn't cover it until all the arrests was made. And it was something like 32 or 31 arrests. The FbI spokemen even gave a interview about. Just like the same thing happened in Philadelphia and new york thru to D.C. When they arrested alot of illegal taxi drivers and spa owners for trafficking girls.
Yoshiko has 36 revealing reviews by its customers, more than any spa at the state of Alabama. LE doesn't need to do any detective work, they can only do a simple Google search on the web, and they can get all the evidence and information to bust a massage parlor. Most of the time it is us who are posting all these graphic details about our experience that is making the LE job easier.

I drove by Yoshiko's today at 5:30PM and they were closed.
Dang! I really hate to hear about Yoshiko. I recently left the B'ham area, but visited Yoshiko the last time I was over there. Had a great time as usual. I just wish there was a reliable place like Yoshiko where I'm at now.
But give them a few months and they will probably be open again. I just hope Ruby and the other Mamasan will still be in charge of the place and it will still be a great place to visit.
Too many details is not good for anyone. Minimum information on a public forum should be just common sense. There are back channel avenues to share more detailed information if you feel comfortable sharing.
Play safe and keep your lady friends safe.
