I drove by there yesterday, I was going to stop in and leave a message. I guess you beat me to it
[QUOTE=Steeler Fan]Tried out the new M therapy or something like that on lane ave. Formerly Sun Spa.
Not to bad.
Senior members can pm for info.[/QUOTE]
Its been a while since I've posted anything on here so I thought I would check in.
I finally made it up to brunswick & tried the VIP, ehh.
One thing we never seem to discuss on here is the adds in the TU for massages. I tried one that advertised a "serene hideaway awaits". The lady seemed nice enough but she had a face that only a mother could love. I couldn't believe I did it but when I saw her I changed my mind & left. I pretty sure she was FS with all of the "baby, sweety, honey" talk on the phone.
Went to Star a few weeks ago, still the same. You can get what you want there but lately the asian women just aren't doing it for me.
I do however enjoy myself completely each & every time I visit the girls from the UK at the beach. They have never put out, atleast not for me, but its the best damn handshake I've ever had.
I tried the asians on St johns a while back & they either thought I was the heat or they went legal. I paid 80 for a massage which they provided but they ushered me out as soon as it was done.
Has anyone tried any of the other adds in the TU?
What about the folly? I see one in there right now that offers service till 11pm (which is usually a clue) & says its for the "diserning Male", or something like that. I may take one for the team & try it.
I also tried the other place again at the beach, jaxbest, they must be legit because nothing ever happens there. I've tried all of the tricks too, not using the cover, laying face up when they walk in, I've done the free willy during the middle, etc. These girls just cover you up & keep working. Oh well.
Has anyone heard of this place off of Beach Blvd across the street from K-mart near University Blvd? They ran an ad in the sports section of the local paper. The only information in the ad said fetish shows, exotic modeling, and other services?

I remember someone posting about this place a while back...
That spa on St Johns Bluff, which is colocated with a salon, had a big sign out front "Facials 50% Off!"
Not much question which place that was for but I got a good chuckle.

Stopped in the AMP off of Emerson last night. Received a nice shower and ok massage. The girl, whose name was Kim, was short and a little heavy. When the time came for the flip she said for more now extra and tried to get me to discuss price. I was pretty put off and told her I wasn't paying extra (have never in the past been asked to, but always tip nicely). She got in a little huff and ended the session early. I don't visit these places much but needless to say, my next visit to an AMP will not be there.
I want to try out the place down off of Baymeadows, but I can never find it. Stay safe. Keep the info flowing.
Sorry to hear that you had an upsale issue at the new Palm Tree, I knew the old owner well and the only thing that got up there was alot of happy monger's.
The spa scene in JAX is terrible. As mongers who know how it used to be before the new manager's, owner's invaded the city it is up to us to make sure they understand the handshake is part of the house fee.
If the AMP monger's do not let the girls understand this then it can and will go to the extra side of the house and will be almost impossible to get it back like it used to be.
It does no good to complain to the girl or argue with her, she is here today and gone tomorrow. Complain to mamasan and let her know you will tell all your friends not to patronize her SPA and let her know how dissatisfied you are about the lack of service.
Mamasan will eventually see the light and have her girls change their tune when she finds out that most of the other SPA's are doing the same.
The owner's do talk to each other, and are very competitive about your business. enjoy and be safe,WAV
Hapsida,
Laughing at that one.
The Spa you are refering to is very low key, unless you are a regular customer, and I mean from when the owner used to be at the beaches type of customer, good luck on any extra's.
The owner and I go way back and she runs a very tight house as far as extra's. Handshake is about all you may get there after you spend a few Jacksons to become a regular customer.
On the other hand it is a clean spa and the girls she gets to work there usually have some form of massage training back in their country and do give a damn good massage.
50% off of facials, thanks for the smile, enjoy and be safe,WAV
Anyone tried AWAKENING SPIRIT MASSAGE?

As one who has dated/lived with a manager and later an owner (two different women) customers should know that the house fee goes directly into the pocket of the owner or is split between owner and manager if the manager is not a working manager. The only pay the working women get are the tips they receive from customers. That's why they hang around the spa 7 days a week from opening to closing so as not to miss a potential tip. Also, if there are several girls working, they rotate so each girl makes some money. That's not to say you cannot ask for a favorite but the norm is to rotate among the women.
Used to be Sun. Saw Bebe. Older face, but nice body. Nice TS and above average massage. Nice handshake ending. Overall, non-rushed and a nice time. Tipped 0. 4 for the good service.
Went this week. As always, very consistent and reliable. Have always gotten an excellent massage and handshake.
Rhymes with Sick Stix so Store and parking is at the back of the place (hope this helps, I don't know if they all are like this)
I've been about 5 times. All except for one was the same woman, I'd say 30's slim good looking. The other time the Mamasan gave me the TS and the normal girl met me in the room after wards.
Price is 70 and I always bring a c-note and give her the change as tip. To date I've only gotten HR but it's all a very good experience. Very very thorough on the TS, armpits, feet, even ass gets washed. Never have asked for more, so I don't know if it's possible. I don't want to blow the only "sure thing" I know right now by pissing her off.
Last time she gave me a mini prostate massage (last 3-4 seconds) and it was good. I had to ask for it, but it wasn't ackward as she seems to always rub around my ass during the whole massage.
I tried to find either Sun or Star don't remember the name but I kept going around in circles in a neighborhood with houses.
It was close to a large YMCA, maybe someone will know which one I'm talking about and let me know if it's open.
You are correct Irishmale about the price and tips.
Most manager/owners will get two and a half jackson's while the girls one and a half jacksons for the hour. Throw the usual tip in of two jacksons and it is more than a $ a minute, take into account that normally it is 5 to 10 minutes in the TS, and a 30 or 40 minute massage including handshake. Not hard to do the math.
It always has been here in JAX that the handshake is included in the price, been to all of the spa's, including the one's shut down. co owned a couple of them, dated, lived with owner's and even juggled a few of the girls during their "vacation time", Never met a K girl that did not enjoy the attractions in Orlando.
Most of them "hang around" the SPA as it is there requirements to be there for the full business hours, they eat there, sleep there for 3 or 4 weeks at a time depending on the rotation.
Very rarely will you find more than two girls working at a SPA here in JAX, not enough business for three unless owner also works, which by the way most girls do not like because they see that as a loss of income since the owner usually charges anywhere from 20 to 50 a day for food and misc. expenses.
Other cities yes the handshake is considered extra as is everything else on the menu. But here in the good ole JAX is has been well established fact that the handshake at the end is a normality to be expected, as is the tip of at least a jackson or more if service was good.
The point is actually moot, if the girl wants to charge for a HS then usually more is on the menu. I am just pointing out the understood, unspoken practice of handshake at the end here in JAX is normal and the girl should be tipped accordingly for her efforts.
Different cities different prices, there was a SPA in Tampa where it was 3 jacksons for a half hour and the fs was only two jacksons tip, I never seen one that cheap before and I probaly never will again.
It is us, the mongers who will allow prices to be driven up. Enjoy and be safe,WAV
Went to NT a few weeks ago. Nice change with the steam room before the TS. TS was pretty good. The massage wasn't very good as she walked on my back until I thought my inards were going to explode! :) Got a nice HS on the flip. .8 for hour and .2 tip.
Glad to hear Sun is back open.
Thanks, BB
