Place on Holly in Sterling
Stopped by an old haunt on Holly in Sterling. I usually get the manager, since I guess she is the only one that works there for the most part but she had a "new" girl there on Saturday and asked me if I wanted to try her out. I said, sure, why not. The "new" girl was a middle aged Chinese woman. Nothing to write home about. Plain looking, out of shape. I should had just kept with the manager.
Massage was ok, not great compared to the manager's massage. Activities were standard noVA. While performing activities, she had this expression on her face and making slight noises as if she was getting herself off or had to go to the bathroom really bad.
I tipped the standard rate and left. Afterwards, I shake my head and wonder if it's time to quit the AMP game around here. Man, some of these places are just hitting rock bottom.
My recommendation of this place: Not recommended. Even for a quick fix with the manager, I'm beginning to lose interest in this spot.
A hot day, but not so hot at the AMP
On a very hot day, I thought the timing perfect for a repeat visit to one of the new DMV spas.
EXTERIOR.
- Parking: Plenty -- some with shade. GPS guidance may not take you to the correct place, but a little are&are around the mediplex / officeplex.
- Entrance: Although the entrance faces the main road, trees and a fence provide cover from the road (but not from the neighboring offices). Use the left-hand door that leads up the stairs. Ring the bell at the top of the stairs for admittance.
INTERIOR.
- Cleanliness: This is a new place. Still looks new, aroma of fresh paint and good-clean facilities.
- Shower Room: The shower room is larger that some. New, well tiled. Clean and odor free. The table itself was clean and in new condition. TS offered at beginning or end of session depending on the provider and number / sequence of customers.
- Water Temperature: The TS water was neither too hot nor too cold -- but the body-soap was COLD!
- Air Temperature: The air was conditioned without being too cold.
- Bathroom: Appears to be clean (I did not use).
- Sheets / Towels: Sheets and towels in the studio and shower were clean / new. At the end of the session, all the towels and sheets were changed while I was preparing to leave.
- Therapy Room: The studios are a bit on the smaller side, with full walls and doors (which the therapist keeps slightly ajar). The massage table was new and of standard size (with hole in table for face comfort). A bar is along the ceiling.
- Final Amenities: The therapist used the hot, moist towels to wipe away the massage cream. I've been offered water and candy on each visit.
SERVICE.
- Time: I opted for, and received, a full hour. Fee = . 8. EXCELLENT. I have never been shorted on time, and have never been rushed.
- Therapist: My therapist this week was taller than many in the area. I have met three at this location. Those looking for the 20-something "unicorn" can look elsewhere. Those that like other therapists in NoVA will like these therapists. All have been pleasant to talk to, and all have been pleasant to see. All therapists dressed well, but not fancy.
- Session: The massage was of light to moderate pressure. Tip was standard for the session with no complaints.
This is a nice place -- but other places have better massage. They appear to want good, repeat customers. I am sure I will return, but not swiftly.
Not bad -- but, as is true in all things, .
YMMV Alot.
This is what a report ought to look like
What a nice, detailed, and informative report, in a very easy-to-read, well-organized format. I like it. .
Hats off to you, amigo, and thanks for sharing your findings.

Only so much a hobbyist can do
[QUOTE=Krakatoa;2520715]I agree with the principle, and I mean no disrespect to the seniors, from whom I have learned alot.
It's a tough call on how much detail to provide. Since there was no incriminating commentary in this review, I didn't see the need for the riddle. This one was a little too subtle for me, but that's okay. It's all good.[/QUOTE]When it comes to posting reports in the forum, there's only so much a hobbyist can do to protect the AMP or indie provider, the rest is up to them. FWIW, I operate under the assumption that Uncle LEO pretty much knows which MPs are legit and which provide extras. And, if a new place opens up, I'm guessing they believe the worst about it until proven otherwise.
So when it comes to giving the name of a place, I personally don't feel any need to talk in riddles or cryptic clues. Besides, a LEO who works the AMP beat can probably decipher any code better than most mongers. My preference is to discuss service levels and prices (std NOVA, NOVA+, or other) and my general level of satisfaction, but to only discuss specifics of the masseuse via PM with trusted members.
IMHO, it's the nature of the biz that all AMPs will attract unwanted LEO attention at some point. It's the responsibility of the AMP itself, and the individual girls, to be cautious about stings and there's only so much a hobbyist can do. By keeping some specifics on the down-low, Uncle will still have to do their own homework and figure things out on their own.
BTW, whenever I encounter an AMP girl who doesn't do enough to make sure I'm not Uncle LEO, I make sure to have a talk with her (after the end of the session, of course) and I try to give her with a few tips so she can hopefully avoid problems.
With regret for being obtuse
I accept the insight of very senior posters -- and encouragement to continue posting.
I regret my last review (Franconia Wellness. FW) frustrated readers.
In summary.
1. I visited FW.
2. This is a new place, clean and well appointed. It has all facilities associated with a quality spa.
3. It is not hard to find, but, it is in a complex of several buildings.
4. The massage technicians are nice, professional.
5. I received my full hour (I do not like to be shorted on time).
6. It is likely I will return.
FW is a good quality place. Be polite (as we always should).
I considered this a good massage experience, but as is true in all things.
YMMV Alot.
Better to ask in the MoCo forum
[QUOTE=Dockers55;2524276]Had a recent session with Nalee while passing through, selected her after reading good reviews elsewhere. Very good massage skills. Excellent attitude and cheery personality, English is decent. Dressed somewhat sexy, some OTC roaming allowed, worked out all the kinks, can go deep. Nothing more likely available besides FBSM. Still got my money's worth at 1. 2. Would repeat.

Also, any intel on these two? They are in Silver Spring, and I had considered these before seeing Nalee.

Ellie in Arlington, VA (Body Rubs)
[URL]http://nova.backpage.com/BodyRubs/experience-the-bliss-of-tantric-massage/15678483[/URL]
I went to go see Ellie in Arlington, simple call / text appointment setup. I honestly made this choice because I was bored and curious and I obviously wasn't going for a 10/10 knockout girl. As my previous reviews on here would suggest, I go see the weird / odd ones. Anyways this was basically a "tantra" experience and I really don't know what that experience entails, but it ultimately amounted to her giving me a super light massage with oils and rubbing spots / points on my body for very long times. For example she was rubbing the spot on my balls / taint for what I swear was a good 15 minutes. Not exciting to the say the least and as the session moved on she started to smother me with her body, she is a larger heavy set women so I guess that's her thing. She gyrated and humped me for quite a bit, lots of heavy breathing. The sessions I paid for was 90 minutes and I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. She was conversational though and seemed to be all there mentally so not a wacko. She whispered a lot in my ears with a lot of erotic banter, I had to go along otherwise it would have been more awkward then it was, I was really just along for the ride.
After all that it came down to the standard NoVA finish, a good rub and tug with oils and I guess she wanted it on her face so that's what she got. I guess if I had to peg this session in a nutshell, she was a light massager with light domination that ended off with a standard nova finish. I won't go see her again the oils she used had a particular smell that I didn't like. I'm also really not in to whatever that was, so I won't be repeating. Things to note if you do go see her, she wants to meet you in the lobby first and will escort you up to the room rather than just give you the room number / floor, so not really discreet to the say the least.
New Chinese Place in Arlington
Recently went to the new place in Arlington that has been open for about a month. Was met by a Chinese provider that was late 30's or early 40's. Massage was with oil but a little on the light side for my taste. The ending was proficient with roaming allowed. The only downside to the place is no table shower or stand up shower. Trusted seniors can PM me for more information.
Arianni (Vienna / Manassas) Body Rub
[URL]http://nova.backpage.com/BodyRubs/eotic-young-hottie-tropical_-naughty-juicy-all-you-need/18192597[/URL]
This was a pleasant surprise honestly, a Dominican lady who in the ad said 26 years of age, but in person stated 28. I've seen her ad a few times in the Vienna area, but didn't want to make the track out there due to the distance vs risk / quality ratio I weigh in my head. She posted in Manassas today and when I called her it was a combination of phone / text and I found out she was off Centreville Rd which is like 5 minutes away from me so I had to take the dive and check her out. When I arrived in parking she gave me an ETA of 10 minutes because she hadn't arrived there yet, I wasn't too worried as I was also scoping other options in the area just in case I was getting screwed. Just short of waiting the given ten minutes she texted me the room number and I went up. As I arrived, it must have been perfect timing because she was just getting off the elevator and heading to the designated room as I had finished walking up the stairs. Rarely do you ever get to look at the goods before you enter the room and honestly I wasn't disappointed with what I saw.
She is a very pretty woman, probably in her late 20's early 30's with a very decent body, the pictures are of her in the ad are legit. She does a full body to body oil massage (not Nuru) but about as close as your going to get when compared to the "NoVA Nuru" that some of you are accustomed to, so if your looking for that kind of play she does a far better job IMO. Her massage technique isn't all that bad actually and was pleasantly surprised that she could loosen me up in the back after a long day of trail hiking coupled with a quick pick up soccer game I had today. On the flip it was the same experience full body to body with privates touching. Main selling point to me was that she was very enthusiastic and approachable and wasn't all business. She was really into it as much as I was and had a really good attitude. When it came time she let me play with both regions in the nether, but gently, she was spotless and clean, didn't smell at all. In the end it was a tug job, but a damn fine one, finished on her chest and face and then offered a shower afterwards.
I paid for the half, but she offers a full hour at, I can't say with certainty if her service changes based on the time allotment / amount so my review is on the basis of a half hour session. Given that I've had basic service at other establishments her's was a welcome change and I will definitely go back again if she is in the area.
