Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=FredRoger;1464040]Went to the place located next to the Superdawg in Wheeling on Saturday. There is nothing there. Just a bunch of businesses in offices (most empty). Have you been there recently?[/QUOTE]I think you have to arrange an appointment ahead of time by phone and the girl drives over for it (mine was 35 minutes late after letting her set the time, so I started wanting an appointment at 2, got pushed back over the phone to 2:45 (which I thought meant she was there and would be busy but that is not the case) and she finally showed about 3:20. No showers, so come clean (I did) , and my girl took calls during the massage, guy confirming appointment, call girl see where she is at (she is late) , call guy, tell him to hang out a while longer, guy calls again, what's up, tells him to just come in and get comfortable, leaves room to unlock door, guy comes in, uses bathroom then goes to room, little while later girl finally shows up (I never did see her).

On that note, in 35 years of mongering, I have never struck out at a massage place, but I did at this one. So this must be a total YMMV place. We seemed to get along fine, I had been to her region of Russia so we even had things to talk about that she was interested in talking about, but at the end, it was 100% session over. But that's OK, she was older (maybe late 40s early 50s) , kind of reminded me of my mom.

[QUOTE=Dan871;1463331]First time posting please be nice to me. I had an interesting session the other day. Went to a EMP I have been to several times and go the 'new therapist'. Attractive mid 30s, but she was an American, I was expecting a European. She lets me in and asks me my name, I tell her and we start to walk down the hall towards the room and again she asks me my name.[/QUOTE]Which EMP? Maybe she was getting a strange vibe from you and was just making sure you were playing straight.

So Sun Spa is closing. Exercise, Spa One, Singapore, GQ, VIP, MVP, Island Spa, Higgins Spa, Senina. 83 Bodyworks, etc. Are already gone. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Q Salon in Bartlett and Lane's Spa in Lombard remain open. I think the cops must be leaving those shitholes open just to fuck with us. Works for me. I'm about done with this hobby.

The city is dragging its feet taking down the window stickers on the spa's windows (their attempt to scare customers off by thinking they are police stickers. They are not police stickers at all. I read them myself. They simply state that the business had its license revoked by the village.) Well, it can't be open if it does not have a license. Do you think for one minute the city would allow them to be open if indeed they were not legally able to be? They simply want you to think they are police stickers so that you won't go in. I simply went in. So can you.

I think that answer was implied in the post. Whether or not you trust the poster is the true question. Sorry senatorx, but there is a chance you could be L/E using Ex Spa for a monger trap. My advice would be to go there with open eyes and ears, and trust your gut.

[QUOTE=Jackrabit5151;1479253]So was the service the same or is it all legit mow?[/QUOTE]In it's time, Mt Prospect was always a great AMP town, however, never succeeded at Ex Spa for some reason. Gave up after a few tries, one time she would not even close the curtain completely while another guy was across the hall. Last time I went was shortly after the Singapore closure, maybe they were just too paranoid. On the other hand, I had some decent massages so was not a total loss at Exercise.

You are right. I seriously suspect the senator, particularly because this was his first, and only, post. Smells like bacon to me.

It just kinda sounded like poor advertising to me. Especially the part "I simply went in. So can you." I don't know for sure, but it certainly has a porkish smell to it. If nothing else, I am less motivated to go back there now. I was going to stop in there on Thursday, but the timing didn't work out.

[QUOTE=Rocket Dork;1485339]I am surprised that Exercise is on Backpage. Usually AMPs stay under the radar. Rocket Dork[/QUOTE]I have to strongly agree.

[QUOTE=Rocket Dork;1485339]I am surprised that Exercise is on Backpage. Usually AMPs stay under the radar. Rocket Dork[/QUOTE]Very suspicious, indeed. Of note is that ad is not in broken english.

[QUOTE=Bill R;1486600]Very suspicious, indeed. Of note is that ad is not in broken english.[/QUOTE]I always loved Exercise because it was a great massage and always a great ending. Was happy when I drove by and saw it looked open, but did not have time or finances. I then saw the post on here, and got a weird feeling, but planned on going and being careful. However, I saw the add on Backpage and knew something is up. It may not be LE, but I'm not going back for awhile, something seems off.

I disagree that AMP's stay under the radar, some are out there on BP. But Exercise does not have to advertise, so the point is taken. Bill R's comment is exactly what I was thinking. The ad seems too thought out and proof-read. I too have stayed away. I suppose I could just go in and see what's up, and be careful not to cross any lines. But to me, the writing is on the wall. Why would I knowingly walk into a trap? Not only that, but there is a better option not terribly far away that IS a sure thing, so why bother with Exercise? Just to save ten bucks on the door?

Saw an ad for this place today on BP. chicagoDOTbackpage.com/TherapeuticMassage/spa-center-grand-opening/12434064. It's actually down the street from GQ. Unfortunately they are strictly legit, but I did get a damned good massage. It's a steal at $50 for 50 minutes, and that included a hot pack treatment, kind of like a hot pack rolled around on your backside from neck to toes. No extras to be had, so unless you are looking for a massage with no extras keep looking.
This site munged the address, so you'll have to copy and paste or you get redirected to the opening page of BP. Ad copy is as follows:

Enjoy the therapeutic massage in a clean and beautiful spa room.

Grand Opening Special for First-time Client
Only $49.99 for 50 Minutes Massage + Free hot treatment

Only $69.99 for 50 Minutes Double-hand Massage+Free hot treatment

On a whim I decided to take the bus out to Exercise Spa and go in on a walk-in basis. My 1st time there, and it's clean and spacious. Lee, who greeted me at the door, was my MT. She's in her 30s and decent-looking. Paid. 7 for 1 hour which includes TS and sauna. I know they just reopened but I thought enough time had passed that they'd be open to extras. Was I ever wrong. During the TS Lee covered up OP Jr. and the boys with a towel and I sensed right then and there that there wasn't going to be any fun had at the end. Sure enough, after the sauna (which was nice and toasty BTW; IMO the best part of the experience) came a crappy massage that was rushed. Needless to say I left unhappy and won't return until I hear of good things happening there again. Then again, who knows, maybe they were just being very careful with 1st-timers like myself.

You weren't met by an employee of our least favorite uncle. That's what I needed to hear.

[QUOTE=Gooch;1528561]You weren't met by an employee of our least favorite uncle. That's what I needed to hear.[/QUOTE]Hey man, thanks. I had to TOFTT just to see if it was legitimately reopened or a setup. It was legitmately reopen but as I stated in my report, no extras at the end. I suppose they'll be that way for awhile.

Drove past spa one last night. Brought back some good memories of when it first opened and Lee was working there. Can't believe all the good places either get busted or turn into garbage. This was just on my mind. Happy and safe hunting!

I remember once I was there and the fire inspector cam in. I think I about died. I made a quick dash for my clothes and she let me leave through the back door.

I checked out this place. The therapist got there 20 minutes late, the massage was adequate, and I was shorted 10 minutes. That sums up the entire experience. I would not repeat.

I agree with you ChiHappiness. This place is lacking good service. Therapists are now aging and they don't put enough effort into their service. I have been with all of the therapists there, sometimes they arrive late like what happened to you and if the one who answers the phone is your therapist she will continue answering the phone during your visit. The only reason why I kept going back was because the massage is good and when I need my muscles to be kneaded well, I choose the therapist who answers the phone. She gives good massages and after the deed if you still have more time she will offer to continue the massage. Her only annoying habit is answering the phone during the session. The other therapists there will keep you for only 45 min even though sessions are supposed to be an hour. They move a lot, they recently moved again but still in the general area of the previous location.

Went to the spa at location listed above. Drew May, it was only after my visit that I realized I had previously RTFF and that I should have avoided. Nothing doing here. Out 70. No tip as nothing was tip worthy.

Wasn't Galena working out of this office? I can't vouch for this operation currently, but I had superior service from her when she was in Park Ridge. Then again, things change. I'm sure even the best and brightest get burned out after a decade of massage.

I just tired Healing Power massage since Golden Hands was busy. They have a new girl, who said it was her first day there. She had a bit of an accent that made it hard to understand her name, it sounded a lot like "Yawn" but was probably "Yaun" or "Yown" or something, I'm unsure how to spell it.

She gave a great full service massage. The massage itself was great and she put a great effort into everything.

I have been with "Vicky" twice now. I have had exact opposite experience. Both times got exactly hour. Massage was above average. Talk was very minimal. Both times I went (once was at that hair salon where she was temporarily, recently went again and she is now across from new D'ags) I was very stressed due to work and left totally relaxed. Other thing. Both times there was no discussion of money or request in advance. I paid on way out. Although not the best I have ever received, if you are in area, a nice respite.

This is the kind of person that we DON'T need in the massage business. I think that most MP's and AMP's don't have to contend with this treatment, but unfortunately, it's out there. He apparently ran one of the Mount Prospect MP's.

Body scrub is actually just an exfoliating gel they rub in like a lotion, then follow-up with a hot towel wipe. Not worth it, unless you genuinely have dry skin.

When I am in the Chicago area, GH has become a safe backup when I can't seem to get an appointment anywhere else (and I'm not into AMPs). At the least I get a decent massage and leave happy. My last visit was with Anna."Rushed" was the key descriptor here. My 1 hour appointment was shortened to 30 minutes without any discussion. The massage was subpar and she used way too much lotion everywhere. On the flip, she seemed impatient during the finish. She also asked me too many personal questions for someone I just met-a pet peeve of mine. The only good thing I have to say was that she has a nice body. Would not repeat.
