[QUOTE=ReadyForRub;3306276]I don't know a legit MT, but your pricing doesn't look right.
90 minutes $79.95 $10.00 too low.
60 minutes $49.95 $10.00 too low.
30 minutes $29.95 30 minutes shouldn't be offered. Legit needs some time. All 30 minutes will do is get you off at a discount.
The $0. 95 pricing might fool 'them at the discount stores, but people looking for a legit massage know they are NOT going to get $0. 05 in change.[/QUOTE]Yes, (for your area anyway) you're a bit on the low side. I get most of my massages in Wisconsin (Milwaukee / Racine / Kenosha) where the rates are significantly lower than IL, especially if you know where to look. (My favorite legit place is $44/ hr, $60/90, and $74/2 hours, and most of girls are excellent, but it's almost an hour drive.) But I assume rent and taxes are way higher in IL so I don't know how feasible it is staying a little below the others.
On the other hand your slightly lower door pricing DOES get some of us in the door who might not make the drive to BG otherwise.
Wish I knew HOW my Milwaukee place keeps finding really good MT's. One of my favorites there (a young one with a too-boyish haircut) came from Las Vegas, because she WANTED to see snow. She's fantastic and mixes in a bunch of Thai moves as well.
Also agree that most tip better when door fee is lower. (& when they know the MT is Bob's girlfriend and don't want to look like a cheap schmuck.).
Oh. Yes. Drop the. 95 thing and just make it even dollars. Just because I say so, and it's a OCD oriented pet peeve of mine, LOL.
Private Masseuse Referral
Hey guys. Can anyone recommend a younger masseuse who works out of her house in or near the northwest suburbs? I've gone to Silvia. Love the setup, and she's nice enough, but she's older than I prefer (I'm in my mid-30's). Would prefer a provider near my own age. PM if you want to keep on the down low.

You may PM.[/QUOTE]Can you PM your suggestions?
Thai Massage totally legit.
I took a trip out to a Thai Massage place I found on Chicago, about a block from the Brown line. Used to be Lang's Ocean massage. Anyway, went in, was asked name. The girl seemed surprised that I showed up without calling first. She took me to the massage room and I asked for a table shower. She said no table shower, then made it clear that "we ONLY offer massage. " When she told me there was no table shower, I asked for my money back and left. Was a legit place. I'm sure the massage would have been outstanding. I did not stick around to find out.
Same pine tree different forest, or a cheap imitation?

Saw this today for first time. The name is similar ("foot" added to name.) Photos and ad copy are a close imitation or emulation. Different town. With all the negative news coming from the old growth forest I wonder if this is an expansion by current management (bad news), a new place by old management (good news? Or cheap imitation. It's too far to just TOFFT.
