A big no go. For Hong Kong
[QUOTE=Loader401;2334262]I have been seeing a lot more ads for massage places in Fredericksburg / stafford area. Tokyo is great but thinking about heading to Hong Kong in stafford. Any current experiences? I am thinking about tonight. I know it's last minute but why not right? Anyways, I will report afterwards when I go.
Be safe.
Loader401.[/QUOTE]Sorry fellas. No report can be given. Not sure if I will even try again. So it went down like this. I called an made an appointment for a specific time. Upon realizing that I will be about 5 minutes late due to traffic, I call. She tells me that she is busy and I have to call back later. I explain that I made an appointment and she realizes that I was right and said it would be okay and she will see me in a few. When I arrived she told me she was busy. I reminded her about my time reserved and she said her appointment showed up. I relayed that I setup an meeting and she looks at her book and said she booked 2 people by accident. No sorrys, no we will take care of your next time. She just tells me to come back later. I tell her I won't be able to make it and then I get attitude about not showing back at said time. So anyways, left the a bad taste in my mouth for service. At the very least, she couldn't have said sorry. She didn't care about me so I just left. Not sure if I will repeat. I know that Tokyo on route 3 is great.
Take care and be safe.

If you find a good one, it helps to get her info
[QUOTE=WilliamRva;2341741]This is my experience also. When I called one place to ask for particular masseuse, I was told she had retired. Shockingly enough, when I went to another AMP a little closer by, the woman the first AMP said had retired met me at the door. Maybe not retired after all.
I don't know any that really have returned to Korea, but if they go home to stay I don't think most of them would have many reasons to tell us.[/QUOTE]Since so many of these women move from spa to spa, or leave the area and come back, I always try to get the digits of the ones I want to keep track of. I usually tell them I want to be able to check directly with them as to when and where they're working. If they feel comfortable with me, they will usually agree. It sometimes takes more than one visit, but if you have a good time with a particular masseuse and she feels that you're a safe and nice client, it can work out well. After all, it's in her interest to keep in touch with the good ones.
Then, if you have the number in your contacts, and you also have some of the Asian chat apps like WeChat or Line, her info should sync up and you can communicate with her even if she's overseas.
Of course, all this assumes you have a safe phone on which to keep the info.
Happy hunting and stay safe!
Try calling just before you go
[QUOTE=MassageJunky;2342976]So I realize I am considered a newbie since I don 't post here very often. That being said I have visited several AMP's up and down 95. Most in the Fredericksburg area. I can agree that Tokyo is very good, I have always received good service there and always leave happy, I can also say that Hong Kong is excellent. Probably more roaming at HK and more teasing and what I would call foreplay before the flip at HK. Out of the two I think HK is better. My comment goes more towards the idea that any of these AMP actually worry much about appointments. Each time I call one I ask if appointment is necessary or can I walk in. They always say " walk in fine" . So I guess I am getting the feel that they just take whoever us in front if them. I'm sure they have had several more experiences of guys making "appointments" and then not showing up. And I rarely see more than 2 girls at any given time. Who knows, she may have been the only one there and just gotten to the flip on her previous customer and had to break to welcome you at the door. Now she has a customer that she really needs to get back to and you feel that she doesn't 't care about you because she us in a rush. Just saying. Something to think about.[/QUOTE]With most AMPs it's first come, first served. They have too many no-shows to turn away a paying client at the door for the prospect of an appointment who may never arrive.
What often works is to call just before you go and ask if the place is busy and if a girl (or your preferred masseuse) is available right away. If you get the green light, let them know you're driving right now and will be there soon. It's not 100% but it works most of the time. As always, it pays to have a backup plan in case you arrive and no one is available. You can also ask if more than one girl is working. You may not get a straight (or true) answer but it's doesn't hurt to ask. If there's only one girl, she will often answer the phone and door during your session and that sucks (and not in a good way). And also remember that the girl who speaks the best English will usually have phone duty, even if other girls are working.
Another strategy is to visit your fave masseuse (s) enough times so you can get her / their personal phone info. Then you can text directly to schedule an appt. Not all will do this, but many will for good clients with whom they feel safe and comfortable.
The secret of appointments.
Is not really a secret.
* Be a good customer -- reliable, and reasonably generous (I. E. Know the rates and tip standards).
* Determine limits if you can before asking for services that may not be provided -- and if you ask and the answer is "not here," then be polite and follow secret one above.
The MMS wants repeat customers -- why -- because if you've been more than once, and were not "trouble" it is not likely you will be trouble in the future. MMS income depends on keeping a good place open -- strangers may have relatives named LEO.
The massage technician may or may not care about repeat clients. I've found it easy to tell who cares from who doesn't. If they don't care about repeat business, it is not likely I'll return (but someone else may). For those that care for repeats, they want as many regular clients as they can manage for the same reason MMS does -- lack of hassle.
If you follow the above for two (no more than three) visits, MMS will make efforts to schedule your appointment exactly when you want.
Remember a small gift at birthdays and major holidays can pay huge dividends in reliable, comfortable, safe (hassle-free) service.
That's how it works for me, but as is true in all things.
YMMV Alot.
KAMP gals, enhanced and otherwise
[QUOTE=Krakatoa;2343667]Not sure about the Chinese, but I have it on authority that some of the Koreans go back home to find the best plastic surgeons. My ATF tells me that almost all KAMP gals are enhanced and are much older than we think. Not too surprising, I know, but I was still surprised to learn the true ages of some of her colleagues.[/QUOTE]I can tell you for certain: At one of the places I visit (after workouts at the gym in order to truly relax the neck, back, and leg muscles), ALL of the therapists are mid-50's. If you're hoping to find hot action with young spinners, you won't find it there. But, that's exactly [U]why[/U] I go to that place after the gym: The therapists there seem to understand the muscle groups (dorsal, pectoral, biceps / triceps, etc.) and can actually give. . . Surprise! . . . just a good, decent rubdown.
Now, if you still want to try to heat things up with a 50-something Korean lady with a few extra pounds on her, then feel free to visit that place and see what you can manage. But, as I said, if you're looking for a hot experience with a 20-something spinner (or someone more closely resembling that), then there are [U]far[/U] better places in the DMV area to visit. These establishments usually reside north of the Potomac River.

Lisa from Hope Foot Massage
Has anyone seen or heard from Lisa of Hope Foot Massage? The last I saw her, she said she was planning to move north of the river and wanted to set up a different business there. IIRC, she was looking at the White Flint area. Unfortunately, I had to go out of town on an extended business trip after my last visit (a couple years ago), and when I returned her phone was no longer working. If any Senior can update me, please bounce me a PM. Thanks.

Gave Hong Kong a 2nd chance
After much internal debate with myself about the way they didn't care that I was double booked, I decided to try once again. Boy was I happy I did. I asked for Coco, as was given the sure okay. When I got there I got Lucy, or "Rucy" Haha. I told her she needed to pick a name that was easier to say and she laughed. Well, unlike the other report that said she has only been there for a couple of weeks, she told me that she has been there for about a year. English was okay and the conversation was pleasant. I asked for the TS first and as I was stripping down and was standing there naked she opens the door and looked shocked and almost embarrassed. I was slightly concerned that she wasn't going to be that much fun and slighty prude during the session. I was wrong. The TS proved me dead wrong. I played it up too but when her digit played on the backside she started to smile and warm up. The rest of the TS was standard with some fun. Back in the room, so so massage. I asked for light / medium. She did allow OTC roaming and grinded in sync with me. The flip allowed more OTC, then some nursing, and standard HE. She seemed like she really enjoyed it at least that how she made me feel. So I have to say, HK slightly better than my experience with Tokyo. I visited Tokyo numerous times, some great, some just ok. So far, as first sessions go, HK is tops in the Burg.
Stay safe.

Ate some Micky the's at Seven
I made a visit to eat some Micky the's at Seven in "the corners". This is my 3rd time to this place under the Seven banner. First time drew Micky, which was great. Second time drew Hanna which was not great (too greedy) so I opted to stick with Mickey again and was happy I did.
Quick and dirty last two months
Far East. Older women (40,45+ easy), decent location to visit after work hours due to proximity to other businesses. Good finish, not great, mediocre massage.
Tokyo and Best off Sullyfield. Ladies old (50+) and unattractive. Walked out.
Visited Oriental Nature Health, cut out because only one person working, older (45+), overweight.
Crystal Spa- Two girls, old, overweight, not attractive. Left.
Young Thai independent working out of the long-term travel 'hotel / apartment' - Tried to find her listing at BP right now but it's down, maybe she's given up. She was actually attractive and young with good English, but the finish was so bad that I nearly started doing my taxes to pass the time. Guess she won't be missed.
Enliven. Weird industrial location, but still busy in the daytime. Older therapists, 45+, not terribly attractive, solid see's at least. Massage was bad, no oil, finish was nothing great.
Spring Spa. Allegedly where the people from old Green Center went. Really bad tomboyish Chinese girl gives horrible massage and finish in 1980's style jeans, but at least she was under 40 ( 35). They are nice here but not worth money.
I've avoided doing CCs but outside of the Magic / KK independents, there isn't much else worth doing in NoVa. If anyone has any non-strorefront recommendations or hookups to independents of interest I would be open to them.

Just saw this not too far from me. Am probably going to go in next week. Anyone have any experience here? I haven't seen it listed in BP before (but I am not an every day viewer), but I sort of feel like I've seen the pictures before. Seems maybe like a relo from closed location?
Thanks, in advance.
