Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=WheelWatcher;3373261]I'm looking for a good massage. Yes, a nice HE would be good as well, but I truly do need a real massage for some muscle pain so I'm looking for a provider who knows what she's doing. I keep hearing about Natasha at Panacea so I looked them up and on the latest ad there is a girl named Tasha. Same girl?

Does she give a good massage? If she isn't available who else is strongly recommended? It sounds like Panacea is one of the only good places to go.[/QUOTE]Yes, Tasha is Natasha. She gives a good massage and her endings are explosive! Aliese is back now and she gets great reviews too.

Overall, a very good experience. Outgoing personality, very attractive, and great figure (actually fantastic breasts! Gives a very good MS and HE. Only two downsides, and I'm nitpicking here, but one was the wait between when I enter the room and she reappears. Its usually not that warm, and you're paying for each minute just lying there, and quite often indicates how eager she is to get started (although not in this case). My other beef is that the "tip" is requested to be put on table before she starts; apparently that is the policy at Panacea, so they "know what extras" to give. Been burned a few times on pre-paying and don't like it. In this case everything worked out, and I would highly recommend Niki.

Don't let them pull that shit of shorting you on time. When they finally come back in to begin the massage, you pull out your phone and set your timer and make it obvious to them. Also, when they ask you to tip first, put down half and say the other half is to be determined!

Saw Shelly at Relaxation Station (Formerly Oasis) on Eastern. Short white girl with tats. Worst experience ever. She barely provided a massage and was talking to some other girl or on the phone the whole time. Then a major upsell on the flip. She needs to learn that if she provides good service the tip will be there at the end. My experience at Relaxation has been mostly miss than hit so I am now writing it off permanently. I'll stick with the hotel girls who have seemed to pop up lately. At least they provide a good session, are usually very friendly and attentive, and don't try to upsell.

It's the same as you bargaining for $60.

But I get what you're saying. IMO, "Here's some. How much more will be determined!" ?

Now they are trying to explain their lack of enthusiasm and total Lazyness buy saying We follow the Psychiatrist therapy session of 50 min. Equalling one hour. Allowing them time to prepare for the next one hour appointment by shorting us 10 min of our time. I will never pay a tip up front. When she asks for it early, it just went to zero. I might end up doing it myself for her to watch instead of getting scammed out of my money.
I think we are all better off with an escort for extras. When you need a massage find a certified massage therapist, I dought she will short your time.

They aren't doctors. Relax Massage, Lee's, Wonder (Cindy), Pacific (Tammy) and MGN (Stacey) have never shorted me on time. I keep an eye on the clock and if they ask if I need anything else, you can always name a body part that they missed to get your full amount of time.

More like when they walk in the room to the point the dramatic finish occurs -- 50 m has passed, and you and they start situating yourselves accordingly to clean up, get dressed, etc. By that same token, in a non-rush-hour time of day there, I would expect it to err on the side of a few minutes more on the opposite end sometimes. There'll always at least be a couple minutes of you being in the room before they walk in + a couple minutes getting up, getting dressed, and them quick cleaning up. May be 50 m, may be 55 m total hands-on-body time. I'm not going to be anal (no pun intended) about it. But yeah, to prevent being short on time, at least having a clock churn, starting when they walk in -- it is a good thing to have to prevent them trying to get only 35-40 m hand-time on ya.

Does anyone know what's become of Chari (stacked asian chic) I haven't seen any adds from her in quite some time.

Thanks --Treyy.

I was trying to book an appt last week and tried a few providers by text, the only one I got a response from didn't have anything that worked on my end, but said that I must call no texting. I'm just curious why some are cool with text and some say must call. It's pretty difficult to get a hold of any of them by phone as it is. I'm not much of a texter anyway, but was wondering why some insist on setting up by phone for a massage.

The callers want no permanent record for other eyes.
