It's not the flex you think it is
[QUOTE=KeyKing7;6490608]Respectfully, I understand what you're saying, but if you look through my previous history, money's not really much of a factor for me. I originally went for a massage more than anything else, but the opportunity presented itself, and I liked what I saw. If you have other suggestions, please feel free to let me know, DMs are always open.[/QUOTE]I'm glad money is of no concern to you, but as others have pointed out, it's more of a "fuck yours got mine" mentality and the point of this board is to look out for one another. We do that by relaying information but also generalizing cost so that others don't do what you did and overpay, for services. Personal wealth aside, you could have handled the situation with a bit more class (by cheating off another mongers homework) and got the same thing for easily $ less. When you utilize good business acumen that also leaves you with a extra quarter in your pocket to go another round on the carrousel, ya feel me?
It's what separates the Kendall's from the Logan's.
Burke Garden Spa Lilian old keen mill. Not closed
This place was reported as shifting to therapeutic massage only and later reported as closed. I stopped by to check it out. Here is what I found:
It is not closed.
Knocked on door and range doorbell.
It took a minute or two, however, an older (Chinese?) lady answer and told me they were busy and to come back later.
I told her that I had heard they were closed. She said no not closed. Just back in NYC for a few days.
Has anyone else knocked on the door?
PM for call ahead number.
Location Confusion? - BG / OKM Spa. No change in staff. No change in modus operandi
With full due respect to Harley Dude, Serpico and Old Boomer -- are you certain we are reporting on the same place?
I have been a regular client at BG / OKM Spa for several years and three owners / sets of staff.
The current staff has been there for more than two years. Usually only one staff member is working (providing massage services). Occasionally a friend / traveling temporary Massage Technician (MT) may be on-site.
-- Yes, the current staff did have a closed day for personal travel about a week ago.
-- A few weeks ago I stopped in but the building entry door was locked. I failed to have my cell phone that day so could not call. When I sent a text I was told a first time client had closed the door when he left and they did not know it had been locked (they were open).
-- Yes, a few months ago the neon sign was removed at the request of the property management -- but the spa remains open.
I had an appointment on or about June 8 and another on or about June 19th. No change in staff, pricing or the usual good massage experience. (see any of my previous reviews this location).
OKM spa does not have a shower or sauna of any type. In my experience the staff has always been appropriately friendly and skilled and I have enjoyed a typically nice Northern Virginia massage experience. Always be nice to the ladies.
