[QUOTE=Pw Herman]No Same Amy.
Sad if this place, Salem Street, closes. Amy was/is my favorite[/QUOTE]My mistake. It was Annie not amy. LOL. So again I'm looking forAnnie from salem st malden place. Any info?. She might be in quincy now. But not sure.
Stay safe all.
It's ok to go to a place that has girls that give bad service. You just have to make sure you will only except the massage from the girl that you know does it right. I will try someone 2 times before I give up unless I hear bad thing here 1st. They might not trust you the 1st time, so sometimes it might take 2 visits. And if you get bad service give a bad tip and show them. If you still give a good tip why would they want to get any better.
I went to Mandalla a number of years ago. Walked in, told the lady at the front desk that I wanted a massage and she replied, "No massage here!" In hindsight, it seems that she did me a favor. Has anyone "ever" had a good experience there? Why would anyone return after first experience? 40+ ladies who are 5s in the looks department who rip you off? Provide service for less time than desired and a front desk lady who refuses to make change? I am thinking that the same whacky gene that makes us hobbyists has a masochistic component!
[QUOTE=Steven1234]I heard the owner was out of state so the place was run by her friend the frint desk "theif" who rulled with impunity. I really enjoyed nt ever going back.
If I went back i would be saying: " Please rip me off. I am here for the sole purpose of you givinmg me a porr massage for 1/2 the time I paid and not giving me the correct change at the front desk. Please continure treating me poorly. "
Luckily I listened to myself and never returned. I think there may have been a few nice woman there but it was not worth it. They think they have less business due to economy etc. The truth is I be the place could at least be twice as busiy by being nice to the customers and it wouldn't cost them any money to be polite.

[QUOTE=Boston Ampfan]I went to Mandalla......[/quote]I never gave it much thought because I am no market analysis of such establishments.
There may be a bunch of poor mates out there that lack the knowledge or intel of places like Mandela(don't you think of freedom and Nelson?) May be these get equated with the places in Cambridge from the glory days of the early 90's from "somewhere they read or heard" and decide to give a try because many are middle aged blokes like us looking for a little simple thrill in life but get short changed by these kind of places because they simply lack the guts to try an ad from either CL or the PHX?
It is funny, I have been to that place a few times. The first time I was in there I seriouslt TOFTT. I got some old chick that I swore used to be a man, which was confirmed later on when I posted on one of the popular boards.
I decided to go back because while I was there(maybe a year ago) I did see a couple of decent looking latin and american girls. I am not an Asian guy and decided to try it out. I called back and made an appointment to see one of the younger blondes that was working. She was very hands on and gave a pretty decent massage. On the first vist, she remained pretty coy and distant but divulged a lot about her wild and crazy side. I decided to give it another try and pretty much everything was on the menu. She gave a really good sensual massage, a lot of teasing and unbelievably sensual finish.
I also like the full private shower in the basement. As far as the front desk goes, they were kind of distant on the phone but perfectly fine when I was there. I had a much more pleasant time there than a lot of the AMP places that barely spoke English and were dirty places.
I haven't been back in a while but there are a lot worse places out there IMO.

They've gone downhill steadily. I worked down the street from them between '91 and '94 and went there often. They had some nice younger gals back then and even the ladies that were older (40's) were quite accomadating. My, how times have changed. Even the lady at the desk was cool.
[QUOTE=Perfect Man]We should compile a list like we did before of the indy girls we all recommended like Natalie, Rea, Stunning Sarah etc.
To me looks like Spa be is a lot better and more reliable than A[/QUOTE]Some of the ladies assume your only after a pop because some of the clients bolt right after. A simple answer would be to have your watch or cell phone out and note the time she walks in. Look at the time and make a comment with a smile something to the effect of " well now till 1:30 I have the best massage theripist on the south shore all to myself". Some subtle little quip like that will get your point across and no doubt will do the trick. Ah, humor is a great defuser and an easy way to tip them off your expecting the time you pay for with getting harsh with a working girl trying to make a living.
Works for me. Wb
CH,
I absolutely agree. I would not take a chance on Shangri La based on your visit. If someone reports no extras or short on time I will not waste my time and money. On the other hand, subjective elements such as looks or skills, I may take a chance.
While I don't think that the provider will lose all income, the big tips which come from us mongers will see an impact. It may not be huge, but it will be measurable.
The only problem is if they mend their ways we may not hear about it.
[QUOTE=Coast Hog]Dan,
On the other hand, I won't return to several places based upon my own personal experiences as well as good intel that I get here from trusted members. When I see someone I respect say NO GO, I stay away. Thus if we all start saying NO GO or stay away , that could impact the business to some degree for sure.
My recent experience at Shangri La says no return for me and if there are any questions about impact on the business, over the last week, she has never had more than 1 or possibly 2 appointments on any given day.
I think we mave have a greater impact on any biz than we may estimate.[/QUOTE]
Hi guys, do any of you guys know what has happened to Chrissy? Where has she gone?
Retired.......Again.

Yes Salem St. is closed with a For Rent Sign on it. I was lucky enough to see Amy a month ago, before this place closed. She is really good. Her massage was great in that it wasn't so hard it felt like she was trying to rip your muscles, or too soft. She is pretty and I couldn't believe she traveled all the way from Quincy to work in Malden. Too bad I don't like any of the places left in Malden. I even feel the regulars in CT are becoming hit or miss lately.

[QUOTE=Brahmabull]I disagree, respectfully. I have seen too many bad reviews on this site and many others for spas that still abound with business. While you may not visit after reading some good intel, there are way too many potential customers who never visit review sites, and some that do just decide, its close enough they will take a chance.
Just as people tipping too high or too low has never been proven to impact service fees, bad reviews will not always or lastingly impact their business. Unless those reviews are in the same location as their ad, they have little chance of making any impact.[/QUOTE]
Agreeing to disgaree respectfully is what makes this forum a value one.
Absolutely no exception take at all.
Stay safe.
too bad, i really like this woman and she bought a lot of business to the place.

ActuallyRR - Chrissy is on a 'vaca'. But not necessarily of her own doing. That's all I'm going to say. If she gets everything together she may be back.
Hi guys, after the experience with the huge Brazilian, I spoke with t and she suggested me to go to a to find someone named b (after the popular singer). she was a dirty blonde with shoulder length hair. she was a bit expensive but worth it. it turned out that we have seem each other before.
