Massage Parlor Reports

I would bet it's a few years old. She's older than that picture relates, for sure, but her service has not suffered at all. Still top notch massage and.

RS1.

[QUOTE=Boston Johnson;1658766]That picture could be several years old. Can anyone confirm Hong looks like that these days? I haven't been to her in at least two years. She was on the phone so much during my last session I vowed never to go back. I'd be willing to give her another try. Good massage when not distracted. Full nude with roaming. Not a bad value.[/QUOTE]

RS doesn't charge for table showers. If we're talking about the same RS. It's all in the price (or has been from my past experience).

[QUOTE=Jd526;1657538]I'm a new member to this board. Stopped by RS last week. There are lots of reviews and stories on this board so I'm not going to go into great detail. Made an appointment for 1030 and got there right on time. Everything was as I have come to expect from places like this. The extra $10 for the table shower is a great deal in my opinion. Massage was a little harder than I typically like but well within my comfort zone. Now I defiantly noticed the breath towards the end. If the best parts of the massage were still to come this would have been a problem. But it was just the end when she was finishing up that it bothered me. I wish I got my masseuses name but I missed it and I hate asking again if I couldn't get it the first time. No complaints and I recommend a trip If anyone needs some relaxation.[/QUOTE]

New girl Kim at ST. Cute, nice soft touch but nothing exceptional. While nice it wasn't much of a massage but I was OK with that. .7. 4. Apologies if this seems too vague but I think we all know what an average-good experience is like (unless you are particularly lucky / unlucky). I think going forward my reports will consist of will-not-repeat / average / will-repeat and let people either figure out what that means or PM me for more details. While there I saw another girl that I haven't seen before and she was younger and cuter. She might be the Su I've read about. I might see her next, depending on if I get any feedback about her.

[QUOTE=FunBill;1656625]I saw Julia there a couple of weeks ago and at that time she had only been there two days. Cute and nice rack. I saw her twice but then tried to see her a third time and was told she wasn't in. I tried a couple more times before being told she doesn't work there any more. She must have lasted a week. Shame. Never seen Su. Sounds like Cindy has gone too. RS seems to be taking control.[/QUOTE]

I would partially agree with that, S. I think RS is more aesthetically pleasing and they have a bigger selection of providers. Of course the performance of each provider is all over the place and it probably depends on the monger as well.

By the way, Royal Spa has another (bigger) place opening soon at Drumhill. It's just along from where Reflections is / used to be. They are scheduled to open in a week or so.

[QUOTE=spectator; 1656759]I visited ST yesterday and am happy to report it was on quite on par with RS in terms of Quality, and better than the new place ZB, which has no body scrub. The lady at ST was very pretty but I didn't get her name.

Massage was good, she worked a knot out of my neck that was killing me all day, the flip was great and she had all the right moves. Little foot rub and the crack the fingers thing too.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=FunBill;1660290]RS doesn't charge for table showers. If we're talking about the same RS. It's all in the price (or has been from my past experience).[/QUOTE]I was referring more to the $70 for an hour price. $60 is alot more common, but like I said the $10 more is more than worth it.

Just got back from RS, had Yoko. Got my shower from my all time fav, then the switch in the room. This happens sometimes. I think there must be a rotation. So Yoko beat the living daylights out of me. Grabbing, pulling and kneading with the finesse of a pair of vice grips.

She was enthusiastic, thorough, used no oil and shook my head like a margarita in a mixer. Twice I asked her to "go easy". The finish was fine, but I felt. Muscled. She does not have the finess of an experienced masseuse and I did not want to insult her by asking her if seh was.

New at it. She took direction during the finish, but grunted loud like she was really working. Paid the usual 70/40, I am a regular there this past month or so and I usually give a little more but she really was so rough that I'm actually sore like she pulled my hair.

Good luck,

YMMV

When to ST today (made appt). Havn't been since new management took over. Was happy to get Linda who I've met before. Linda has treated me right in the past. Gives good shower / massage and treats you like she happy to see you. I'm guessing she's late 20's early 30's nice body and friendly. Otc roaming no problem. Full hour and left happy. 70/50 extra 10 because like I said always good to me. Also note ST was busy today more so than I remember it being in the past.

RS has opened a new place near where Re flectio ns was. The manager of RS recommended to me I check it out, so I showed up tonight, was greeted by mama, saw the owner, who I recognize from RS sitting in a fancy chair watching TV. Price was $100, no table shower, offerred steam room. OK. So I go to the steam rooom, shower in a shower stall, and ask for my massage. Was greeted by a plump old woman, asian but perfect english speaking. I told her I am a regular at RS, and that so and so (RS manager) sent me. Decent massage, put out all the right subtle but very clear signals. Made friendly chat. While face down. At the flip I still made all the right gestures, NOTHING. I am so angry. I am a regular at RS and I hope that they do not trick all their regulars there to come to the new place for the $100 fee and no service. I smiled and said "thats it" and she said "thats it". There is no question that it was over. I took a shower and left. The masseuse was waitign at the exit with the mamasan looking at me with a smile, and I was going to tip, but I realized I was so frustrated, disapointed and upset that if I stood there I would say something awful, and at that moment the mamasan asked me how it was? I said "fine" and quickly left before I exploded with anger. RS is the best there is in MA, they know their biz and their clients, and provide exceptional service and communicate well. This new place totally NOT THE SAME.

TOFTT folks, and it stung.

Happy Tuesday.

But unless (and until) some better reports surface, I'm staying away, as I'm sure many others will do. How do they justify the ridiculous house fee without a TS, even? Only thing I might have done differently was the exit; I'd like to think I could have indicated my level of deep disappointment in some way, rather than say "fine" when asked how it was by the mamasan. But, having been in a similar situation more than once, I fully understand your reluctance to make a scene.

Happy Tuesday.[/QUOTE]Sorry to hear, Spectator. It's too bad we mongers don't get together for a monthly meeting somewhere. If we did, I would "pass the hat" for ya. We have all been down that road before, and it hurts.

I heard about the new spa from the RS manager a couple of weeks ago and she sounded thrilled to bits about it. They've been putting in a lot of time and effort getting this place off the ground. I was considering giving the place a try myself, I still might, but I would like to know what the $ is for. The standard rate seems to be about .6 or .7 and that may or may not include a TS depending on the place. Most places I have been have been. 7 with a TS. If this place is offering less then why are they charging more? I could care less about a steam room and even if I did like the idea, is it worth an additional .3? I guess there's only one way to find out when I am next in the area.

The masseuse dressed differently than the yoga pants and tight top of RS and in hindsight I think that should have been a giveaway but they had collected my $100 before I saw her. When I went in I was greeted by the mamas am and I told her I was a regular at RS and she should have said something to let me know that I was not in Kansas anymore.

I went In thinking "we'll it's $30 more than RS so maybe the service is better" it never would have occurred to me that they would charge $30 more, have no TS, dumpy therapists and NO service. It just hurts my brain.

[QUOTE=Choppah;1665934]Did the manager indicate why they needed another facility that did the same stuff so close to Rs?[/QUOTE]It sounds to me like the new facility, rather than a clone of RS, is actually going after an entirely different market. A luxurious lounge area, steam room, sauna, and nicely equipped shower area (all according to the photos posted) , and NO extra services would seem to suggest the new place is simply a legitimate, upscale spa with no connection to the already established RS, other than common ownership.
