Thai is too expensive and historically too much oil for me
[QUOTE=Mattis1775;6967252]Can confirm the place I visited before near W. Roxbury that it is legit after the lady I've met is no longer there. She was replaced with a lady that doesn't speak any English. Nothing new in the AMP world. But we went from a nice lady that spoke good English to someone with no English. The good part is that the massage is excellent. If you're in a need to a solid massage, I recommend this place. The young lady in the front signals the therapist that time is up. Basically, if you're having a little fun, the lady in front is watching the clock. Either way, it was fun while it lasted. It may come back if another therapist appears. But wish I took the number of the last therapist. Didn't realize she would've been let go that fast.[/QUOTE]Review your local AMP history Joline. She used to have a place in W Roxbury early 2000's. She opened multiple places in the Boston area and often had some ladyboys. Never short on the drama. Joline gave an outstanding massage and her style used way too much oil. On these 90's hot humid days. Not a comfortable feeling going back to the car feeling like a greased pig but my back felt better.
The Thai places start at 80 $ for hour and ?60 for 30 minutes. It appears many places are now charging 70 for hour. Push back and tell them you can get as good massage for lesser price in area. I wouldn't pay 80 unless I was getting a licensed elite therapeutic massage. If you are getting upselled to 80 what would the possibility of anything else cost? My 2 cents say not worth it.
Not really forum for therapeutic massage
[QUOTE=Andir;6969097]Not advising you on anything, and, God forbid, on how much you should pay for massage specifically, just informing you. One hour massage session at a mainstream massage establishment would cost you $130-150. It's not "elite" by any means, just regular massage that could be received at many legit places. Just checked the Massage Envy wants $155 for one hour. But yes, the providers are licensed for sure. However, many AMP masseuses are licensed as well. Not Flushing-linked though.[/QUOTE]Vicki was / is probably the best option in the Newton area. I previously commented. If One is looking for extras the objective is not trying to find a therapeutic massage / masseuse. The standard prices we should maintain our focus to keep things in range and not over pay. Thai's for the past 20 years try to run at least 10 $ over the standards. If people will pay the Thais will keep inching up their fees with eventually spillover effect. That's really what my opinion is.
