Visited Royal in Chelmsford this morning. Greeted by 40 something in pretty good shape. Got the hour. Massage was great. No teasing and she kept the towel on which was disappointing, maybe because it was a different masseur that I usually get dealt there. For a second I thought it wouldn't even happen but then came the flip. The usual soft touch around the area then asked if I wanted it. She allowed any touching I was doing. And on the finish called me "#1". Tipped 60 on top of 80 house fee. I know they're expensive but you get a nice private room and they do a great no rush finish. Would love it if they offered more.
Purple I feel is hit or miss depending on who you get. Some feel rushed and not into it but others (I wish I got a name) took her time and also her top off. I hate that it's only a curtain that separates us from the lobby. Purple does have the best looking staff and they don't haggle which is great.
So I guess in my experience the quick in and out sure thing is Purple, but the no rush more intimate is Royal.
Those are the only two in the area I've visited so far since Tao went legit. I've been debating Luxe or Rosemary but it's always tough to go in blind. I hear a lot about 8 and 11 but I like to justify my reason for going being the massage and not mongering.
Any suggestions on a quality clean spot that puts massage over finish but also goes further than just the HJ?
