On a recent afternoon, I ended up at that place with the foreign car sounding name. Got a very nice attendant Kimberly. Thorough stand up washing, all parts so clean, events almost occurred there. On to the table with a mostly lighter softer rub than a traditional massage. Got an upgraded glove treatment midway, nice follow on massage. Nice conversation with the usual hint of much more next time, now that she knows me. And off I went. .7 +.6
[QUOTE=What A Life; 1574002]Well, needed a little relaxation on Sunday and headed over to the place on RT 108. This time, I got Ruby. She was just my type; nice rack, curves, and pleasant personality. Paid the hour fee and got ready for the shower. Shower was quite nice with plenty of soap, playfulness, and everything made squeaky clean. The massage was actually pretty decent. Felt some cracking in the back and the muscles were loosened up. Before too long, the old familiar light touch began and all was looking good.
The negotiation part arrived and, since I was only interested in a HJ, I offered the customary amount. This is the only part of the experience that was a turn-off; Ruby asked for 100. Did I miss something? I thought she was offering to upgrade. However, she really thought she was going to get that amount out of me for the traditional HE. I told her no way. She tried to hold firm, junior was starting to withdraw, and I made the motion of preparing to walk. She quickly changed her tune, told me to bring more next time, and gave me what I wanted to the normal amount. The service was great. No complaints at all about performance and I'd be happy to have her work on me again. But, that attempt to gouge me was bothersome. She only works weekends. If you go, enjoy yourself, but don't let her bleed you.
WAL[/QUOTE]What you experienced was the provider trying to get from you what most other customers would have paid for her upgraded services. See she took you for an hour and lost a shot at someone else who may have opt'd for more.
You did the right thing by offering a fair amount for the reduced service. But there really is no harm in these girls asking for more, you don't ask and you won't receive, you and everyone else have the option to say no. They typically will provide the reduced service for the standard tip. But don't be upset because she asked for more, since from her point of view, providing you service potentially means she couldn't service someone else who was ready to pay more.

Conversely, if upgraded services were not offered a negative review could be written about a limited menu.
[QUOTE=Bulgrim64;1545215]Does anyone know if Silk Spa is still around? And any reviews of it?[/QUOTE]Yes. Absolutely.
[QUOTE=Mandruas;1579063]Yes. Absolutely.[/QUOTE]Do you have your own review of experiences with it? I have been before but I was curious if the menu opens up if you visit it more.
[QUOTE=Bulgrim64;1579083]Do you have your own review of experiences with it? I have been before but I was curious if the menu opens up if you visit it more.[/QUOTE]I haven't had any experience with an expanded menu. It is still alot of fun if you come in with limited expectations.

I tried going to TK and the ladies are not as pretty but they ones I had were really nice, but I kept going because the menu is more open there.
[QUOTE=Ginger Man;1566976]Apartment or condo, .[/QUOTE]Good experience overall, but with these facilities it will not last very long at all.

Shower was very nice as before, all parts attended to. She took me to the sauna and said she'd be back in two minutes. It seemed like more time had passed when she came back to get me though. Massage was decent this time, though I wish they had a place for my face in the table. Instead, I lay there with my head turned to one side and end up leaving with a sore neck. Just before the flip she asked if I wanted the usual and I asked for a slight upgrade. She obliged for. 2 more than the last time. .7/$.0. I'm interested in trying a new provider next time I make it out there.
Any recommendations?
[QUOTE=Brahmabull; 1566919]Would this place happen to be in a Condo? If this is the place you are refering to, I can 2nd your opinion as it is much better than TK.
Thanks[/QUOTE]I checked this place out yesterday. I can confirm the menu options as both of you have stated, although my experience was so-so. My provider (Lilly?) is leaving in ten days. Before I even had my coat off, she was haggling for tips. And it really didn't stop throughout the entire massage. She also tried to get me out the door at the 40 minute mark but I talked her into continuing until I got my full hour. But I think YMMV from girl to girl at this place. Most important thing is the menu is expansive for the area.
This new ad popped up. Looking at MRIS the Ellicott City location was just rented. The Damascus location has ads going back from June 2012.

Since Korean establishments are more to my liking, should I look further?

I found some references on the Montgomery folder that refers to Damascus as a strictly legit place. I also found the owners name and looked up their massage license and certifications at the MD state website.
I used to frequent Rainbow quite a bit back in the day, but I've never been to Silk. I was thinking of remedying that situation soon, thanks to the info on this board, but I wanted to clarify something.
It's standard procedure to put the tip out in advance, in order to ensure service. But I've seen people list both. 6 and. 8 as the fee. I also understand that the extras are limited, which suggests $ would be overkill.
Can someone confirm what the regular fee would be?
Thanks.
