Is Beech Street still open
[QUOTE=Lego19;4534320]Sad to see places in Watertown and Belmont being shut down. Looks like all the mongers will be flocking to Waltham now. I reckon High will get a lot busier now. I hope to see new posts on new talent and new places.[/QUOTE]You mentioned places in Belmont being closed down. Is Beech Street still open?
I concur with you and J617
[QUOTE=Herow;4519261]I also think this is worth commenting on; no offense to those who shared otherwise but I just don't believe you. I also have known Angela for years and years now; it goes back even further for me than my time at 195 (which isn't even a patch on how far back some of you go there, LOL).
She is an extremely business savvy woman; we would talk constantly in the shop and by text when Waltham was passing it's new regulations. She went to great effort to make sure she understood them in depth, and how to conform to them while still running her business. I believe she would do FS. If you got her to go on a date with her to Vegas and dropped 1 k on her. LOL. She's lived that life before and she has no interest in doing it again from what I can tell. She also puts a lot of effort into making sure she has decent, consistent talent at her shop. The type of owner who would fire one of her girls if she caught her doing FS, and definitely isn't going to put her shop at risk doing it either.
All that being said, I agree with what someone else here said about not knowing why to go elsewhere for a HE. Her attitude is great, and I never have left her with that whole "why do I do this" feeling. Quite often I leave thinking "why don't I just come here more often and spend 100 to get an amazing HE rather than dropping 200 to feel totally ripped off in H2 O-town".[/QUOTE]I got to know her back in the days of 195. And would agree that she is all that of what you say. And she wouldn't behave in the way that others are suggesting. I've have yet to say hello again to her. Perhaps when I find the Waltham area within my wheelhouse.
As I remembered she was a straight forward business woman, no cat and mouse or bait and switch. Always accommodating and respectful of requests for making appointments for treatments. I as mentioned in other posts, previously to the "Blackout" the 195 regime was in my humble opinion the best place that close to Boston. Very well run, as in a wel oiled machine!
Not much has changed I see
[QUOTE=TwoQplus2Q;4534511]Just for yucks because I drive by the place often but had not been there for many years, I dropped by Red Azalea in Newton. The stop was quicker than the quickest quickie I have ever done. Walked in, great great great grandmother greeted me. Unbelievably, she was immediately available to take care of me. Less unbelievably, I remembered I had to go because I had to be somewhere else.
There signs says open 10 to 10. But gggg told me last appointment is at 8 pm, sayin' just in case one of you wants to hurry to get there.[/QUOTE]I went there many, many moons ago. So it appears that she has gotten older! She was old then. I do agree, don't bother if you are someone on this board looking for places with specific services.
This fella's review is spot on!
