TY for the advice Bigboy.
You might be right, maybe i will tip her more next time. So what experiences do you have? Advice is easy to dispense, experience is appreciated. Who have you seen lately? What did she do for you? How much tip did you leave?
I am sure this forum would love to hear from you.
Hello NB,
Stephanie is new there (spa b) and the poor gal is in shock when someone asks her for a HE. She was not aware of what goes on there when she started and will come around, get used to saying no or quit. You will have a better experience with Reo (Brazilian). Full enthusiastic menu.

[QUOTE=Natebost]So I decided to take a trip to Spa B to complete my 2/$120 the other day. I thought I would just show up and see what I get. I called and talked to Amber at the front desk. She had rattled off a few names of girls that I didn't recognize so I said that it was her choice. Stupid me! I showed up about 20 minutes early so that I could take a stem before the massage. I was told that Stephanie was ready and would show me to my room. I asked if it was ok that I took a steam first and she hesitantly agreed. Stephanie is probably 5-4 and medium sized with decent looking boobs. I was cautiously optimistic and followed her into the room. She was very good and gave a decent massage, spent too much time on my hands and feet and not enough on my back but that is besides the point. The massage was dragging on after she refused to let me remove the 3 layers that were covering me. I finally asked about any extras and she responded that she isn't a prostitute and that I should go to Providence next time. We finished the massage, she was actually nice to talk with but left me completely unfulfilled.
I guess I am fairly new to this place but should have know better. FYI. Skip Stephanie for everyone out here.
I have seen Chrissy before and had a blast but wanted to give someone else a shot! Oh well. Next time.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Steven1234]This is similar to the Provider answering the phone and interupting the massage to answering the door ringing.

It is actually worse since I had to stop, negotiate, get up walk over to my wallet take out the money and hand it to her then we started again.
[QUOTE=Steven1234]How about the independents that give you directions to a place and you have to call from there for further directions to another place. you end up drivign all over Boston. I did this about five years ago and in reminded me of a movie with Clint Eastwood where he had a Ransom to be paid and the Crook wanted to make sure he was alone etc.

[QUOTE=Steven1234]This is similar to the Provider answering the phone and interupting the massage to answering the door ringing.
steve[/QUOTE]This is more about a providence Aamp gal Alice.
I Posted about Alice this past summer. She seemed so promising because she was very pretty and had a decent place.
Down side of a solo-ist is she answers her owns calls for appointments which means lots of interruptions. Then You feel rushed if someone next is being "lined" up. She put this curtain in her apartment living room to create " instant monger waiting room". Talk about running a "well oiled machine". I'm not talking about the HE I got. But the experience overall was a total mood killer interuptus extreme on both visits with a disappointing second visit that was a repeat experience of the first.
Coast:
It's too bad you got switched to Susan and had a less than adequate session. I guess it proves that even supposedly tried-and-true places can have less than stellar service.
I will give another example:
Went to Jasmine last night about 8:45pm. "Lee" let me in and was to be my provider. As we walked to the room Amy/Linda saw me and said "long time no see" and must've told Lee in chinese I was one of the regulars. Lee started massage with light touch and grabbing for the nether regions and layed across me saying "you like" - she was very enthusiastic, but looks and age reminded me of a school librarian.
About 5 minutes in, the doorbell rang, and without any hesitation to see if Amy/Linda would get it, she left the room. Then I hear the conversation start with a guy who seemed to be speaking partially in chinese too. Soon after, Amy/Linda joined in. I'm laying there naked for like 5 minutes wondering what's going on. After that, Amy came in and said sorry, but she was going to be my provider because Lee has to do something with the guy, who may have actually been their boss/owner. Amy/Linda may have even said something about Lee marrying this guy. Huh!?!?! Man, i need to learn some chinese...
I got no problem with the relief pitcher, cuz A/L is cuter than Lee and I know she gives a good massage and HE.
Yeah, well not this time. The whole thing was pretty rushed and jerky (no pun intended) - strong massage was medium and she seemed hurried to just cover every square inch once and then move on. Last night I was there as much for a relaxing massage as for any extras, but never really got into the "chill zone".
Weird thing: Lee comes in again later, showing me and Amy this little vase with a tiny flower in it. Couldn't figure out if she just bought it, got it from the guy, or was giving it to Amy/Linda - but I wasn't paying attention because she was sitting there talking Chinese for a couple minutes with the door wide open and me undraped. I had no idea if the other guy was still around or what, but I didn't like it.
Lots of oil used, then quick clean-up and soft-touch/tease. Turned over, and she's off to the races. Within seconds, she's moaning "i like you baby, you come for me" - ummm, yeah. we're gonna need to build to that.
Despite the top-down access, I was hardly turned on, not to mention that between her "strong" massage and now her frantic scurry to the finish line, she actually sweats a lot. She started to put one of her tits in my mouth, but just as the first contact was made, I quickly pulled back due to the locker-room aroma. YUCK.
It was never DIY, but I basically had to fool my mind into thinking I was somewhere else, with someone else, if you know what I mean, in order to pop. Her piston-action was simply a means to an end.
Mind you, she's very nice and means well, but this was just not a great performance at all. And she's visibly winded afterward, which makes a monger feel a little badly, but at the same time, I know she could have achieved the same finish with less effort if the build-up was right.
Anyone have any thoughts are similar experiences being the last client of the day? Is that why I got such sub-par service?
Interesting note: she tried to find out a lot about my work, etc and if I will come there often. She mentioned she is looking to open another joint, possibly a legit massage place like the one in the Natick Mall. Of course, the language barrier was in full effect, so I may have misunderstood a lot, but she did ask me to come back about 65 times, and she also wanted to know if I knew a good 2nd floor business location. Yeah, right.
I tipped my usual but probably should have knocked it down to .3
On the way out, she asked me to come back again about 6 more times. I was out of there in about 55 minutes, so counting the interruptions I probably got 45 min of service.
I think all of my previous reports on Jasmine have been pretty positive, but this one makes me hesitate to go back there again, at least until they have a new girl to try. I also think that their business is very slow, which makes the low-quality service all that much more surprising.
I'm sure that I could have a bad experience anywhere, but next time I gotta choose, I'll likely go with jessica or with another provider that I know (fingers crossed) will take care of me.
Maybe we as a group need to start lowering the tip scale and only give .4 for a really superb experience. If I gave .2 or .3 last night, would it have sent a message of any kind? Looking back, I wish I had lowered my tip, but I had just 2 jacksons in my pocket and figured that asking for change was out of the question. Note to self (and everyone): make sure you bring an assortment of bills so you can adjust the gratuity later based on experience.
Good luck out there,
JP
[QUOTE=Coast Hog]Well, I have done a lot of reading ang have seen many good things about WW and in particular, Jessica.
The clock was now at 50 mins and we were done. I imagine she wanted to get the next client in her room.
I reluctantly tipped her 40 and left and I will NOT go back again.
Sorry to all the fans of WW, but this was not worth the time or money for me.[/QUOTE]
When I moved here to Cambridge I was told that Allston was the place to go for the best AMP service, but I am having trouble finding any. I called the 6663 number that was mention earlier and all I get is the answering message. I've looked in the Boston Phoenix, and other places. Can someone PM me and share. I you decide to travel to SF I can give you some places that are FS. I have a car here, but I think I'm going to have to pick up one soon as RI seems to be the happening place.
[QUOTE=Joe Fish]That would be Dirty Harry.[/QUOTE]
It was just like that movie. The massage woman would say" Ok Clint eastwood (Calihan), you have exactly 3 minutes to get to the payphone at xxx Beacon street....if you fail the massage will be cancelled. Then i called her from that phone and went to xxx Commonwealth Ave. This happeded about 10 years ago when there were pay phones by the way and I was young and stupid and excited about the chase.
No more Amigo.

sorry I just cannot deal with the phone type stuff, so many providers are out in the open plus you got RI Soooo close why bother.
I've been to Jolines places many times with great results everytime. My question is, why are all the thai places .80 an hour? There's a new place in Brighton which also advertises for .80.
Thoughts?
[QUOTE=Natebost]I agree on Amber!
There must be a new Stephanie in town, this is her first week at the Spa, she is a recent transplant from Massage Envy in Dedham. But none the less a massage and only a massage.
Just trying to help out Dan.[/QUOTE]
Just wondering why those at Envy would make the switch to Spa B. I work close by and see a lot of the girls from Envy. They are mostly young good looking and look it. I have been there several times (39 bucks and a tip-can't beat it) but all are legit and 'non-pros' so to speak. I know that business is good there so I wonder why they would go from there to Spa B if they were just going to massage with no extras? My guessing would be that the tips are about the same for a non-extra massage. Just a sat am musing. SO
The girls must make a percentage of the fee so a percentage of 60-80 is better than 39.
BTW, I would bet this is the same Stephanie, since my review was from 2/09.
She probably got sick of guys grabbing her legs and giving her views of their fruit basket and left for what she thought were greener pastures.

Your about 10 years too late. back then yes allston was the place to go. There were many places in the area both of the AAMP arena, many indies like the Estonians and the more stable business places in allston and Brookline. Then an over zealous asian cop decided he was going to betray his own kind (allston/Brighton and not CT) and rid the area of the places. being asian the palces were an easy target since they wouldn't question on of their own. Looks like he is still at it. Nothing worse than a scum who picks on his own kind. Then again CT is loaded with places that are left untouched. So that is where I would head! OH BTW about the same time Cambridge was also one of the places to go...so you struck out twice. Take a trip to RI...you'll love it! SO
[QUOTE=Asian E]I've been to Jolines places many times with great results everytime. My question is, why are all the thai places .80 an hour? There's a new place in Brighton which also advertises for .80.
Thoughts?[/QUOTE]Jolene has always been above avg cost it seems and wow.8 that is steep especially these days despite what was said on the TV the other night about the recession being over. Right!
It must be simply old fashion supply and demand. If they can charge.8 folks show up and pay then that is your choice.
They should take the markup and invest in some showers.Unless they have to pay off their connections back home that helped them get visas or something?
Thai massages in themselves can be excellent therapeutically but just too much oil for my taste. I prefer to take the.2 put it towards my tip expenses and go elsewhere. At least a few years ago Jolene let me use her shower upstairs at her old place. Whether it is Thai, Aamp or AMP this has always been a common theme of mongering economics on cost/value.
Hope she doesn't get greedy on you thai fans out there and raises the price even more or you get it on the "other end too" with out the value.

Don't know why but Joline has always charged 80 for any of her places from as far back as I can remember. And even when she was an 'indie' back in West Rox and Dorchester she charged 80. Guess that is her magical number. It is interesting though that the 'new' Thai places also charge 80. Gee-are they connected????
