I stopped by yesterday. They were busy. Told to come back later. They always seem busy in the middle of the afternoon.
It should make you aware of a menace in the midst of our hobby!
[QUOTE=Cupin Dude; 1498211]Hello fellow mongers-
I go through your fine city once a year and I always check in here before I do. It's that time of year again!
I am having a hard time finding adds or post about my ATF AMP.
It was formerly Papaya and most recently re-opened as Radpberry Spa in March (I think)
My ATF masseuse was Bunny.
Does anyone know if it is still open and / or what name it has now, I'm trying to call MMS to schedule an appointment for Saturday and also find out if my ATF is still there. A recent report on the quality of service will be greatly appreciated as well, of-course.
I prefer to get replies in a PM.
Note: If you have a negative comment or statement about my post, please PM that as well to help keep the board clean!
A big thanks to all the SM's who were do helpful in the past, you know who you are!
P. S.
If this place is closed. A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as well.
Stay safe!
CD[/QUOTE]Is Tea Tree / Papaya / Raspberry Spa closed? I would prefer to save myself the trip. I also haven't seen them advertise, but I seem to recall someone recommending the address of this place, but I don't remember how recent that post was?
[QUOTE=YMMV Alot; 1505556]After a recent long car trip, I stopped by CTM, but Sarah was too busy to see me (so this review is not about CTM).
I decided to TOFTT and try another mixing bowl local location that I've not seen reviewed here. The people were friendly, the experience was pleasant although a bit bland (lacking even simulated enthusiasm / actual interest). Details follow for those interested.
Location: convenient and somewhat discrete parking behind a small office complex. This location has entrances on both sides, but the back parking lot is apparently preferred. Like another 3-letter mixing bowl location, you have to wait outside while the door is answered. So, although convenient to parking, perhaps the "front door entrance" is more discrete (but since I did not see it, I do not know for sure).7/10.
Arrival: Very friendly MMS / receptionist. She told me here name (Arial I think. I am not certain). Inside is a bit on the dull / plain / utilitarian side. Subdued lighting. Everyone here appeared to be over 50 (not a problem for me, but if it is for you, go elsewhere).8. 5/10.
TS: none. Stand up shower in large room available, assisted may or may not be standard.
Provider: Blue. Very slender, bustier than many, unique facial features, appropriately cautious as this was my first visit. Massage. Lighter than I like (I asked for medium). No real pattern to her massage strokes. A basic kind of swedish (not really) backrub. When worked on legs, felt good. 7/8/5/7.
Overall. 6 or 7. Standard rates and tip.
Not sure if it was really an experience fit for a king, but.
YMMV Alot[/QUOTE]Sure its not but was wondering if this was the same Sarah wo used to work at a place on Lee Highway right near the Homedepot. This place close probably 10 years ago or more? Sure some oldtimer can remember the name. I can't think of the name but now exactly were it was. It was in a little strip mall. Used to frequent the place for Sarah. She was like probably 4' 10' like 95lbs with a super body, great rack.

There was an Argentine steak restaurant a couple stores down.

Visited Lime last week. Completely disappointing visit compared to my first there. Drew Kiki. 50-something, older than I like. TS was ok, not much teasing. Massage was average. Above average technique on NoVa finish was only saving grace. Standard hour+tip. Will not repeat.
Today I made a visit to a West Springfield SPA.
A wonderful place.
Good parking.
MMS was friendly (eventhough I had no appointment, they were not too busy today).
The massage technician was a nice lady who provided an attentive massage.
They've asked for only discrete posts. I hope this is discrete enough.
Standard rates across the board.
It was a delightful massage experience in northern Virgina for me, but.
YMMV ALOT.
This place has turned into a total clip joint. I had one of the coldest providers evar. When she asked for more money I left. Massage was pretty good but no extras. In spite of the fact that she was wearing a thong and short halter top. I hate it when they do that. This place should be crossed off everbody's list.
No, just a delay in reporting.
Like AK47, my provider asked for a larger gratuitity, which was unpleasant as I never bring extra, and I know what rates are appropriate. (some have said I am actually a bit more generous with gratuities that some, (more generous but not more endowed fwiw).
My visit was mid-week. They were very, very quiet at this place which I think may be the closest to the new mixing bowl HOT lanes. Very easy to get into and out of the parking lot (from either direction). The door was answered swiftly by MMS (so I was not left to stand in the parking lot at all).
Upstairs and we agreed I had asked for an hour. And she would send in someone nice.
The lady was significantly older. And I am not one to complain about older. Appropriately shaped. Fairly standard features with shorter hair than many.
The TS was very short. Every thing clean, but fastest time in the shower that I can recall. Others here have provided me a good 10-minute soap massage (great with the hot water). But no interest at all from her.
Back in the room. Her massage skill was good. The first 30 minutes were quick, but her hands steady, firm, and well placed. If it had stopped at the massage, I would have left satisfied that I had a good massage and would be writing a different report.
At the flip, she asked what was wanted. And what she wanted was the tip up front. Which she counted in front of me.
The remainder of the visit was not bad. But I've been a customer here many times, and I've been treated better.
I'll not repeat with her.
I mentioned it to the little white poodle's owner. I know she will remember.
That was my visit, but if you go and have the same provider.
YMMV ALOT
I hit up Smile yesterday, for a third time over the past few weeks. I had "Shuga", which she was provider the 1st time I visited this place. Not much roaming allowed up top, just a great massage and standard noVA. The "boss" lady and an Asian gentleman were roaming around the place so I assume she was restrictive on what she was able to do.
I am kind of in the mood for something else now but will keep this place in my back pocket for when I am wanting a great massage. The massage itself is worth it. Tipped 50 just because the massage wasn't some lame a$$ poke and prod that most providers do. She earned it.
[QUOTE=OneHitWonders;1489125]Close to IKEA Furniture?[/QUOTE]IKEA is in Woodbridge near Potomac Mills. I live down toward Aquia, haven't seen the new place. Very interested though. If anyone tries it out let me know. I'll TOFTT later this week and report out.
[QUOTE=Amp Forever;1496954]TOFTT. This is not an AMP. Only the Manger speaks English; the providers are all Chinese. Offers services other than massages (nails, facials, etc). No shower. Massage was strictly therapeutic (no teasing at all) under drape. No flip side. When she finished, she simply said "all done" and was exiting the room (which only has curtain, no door) before I could even roll over and inquire about more. On the good side, massage was good and got $15 off for morning session (usually. 7, paid. 55 with. 2 tip).[/QUOTE]Thanks. Good to know.
Brand new to the hobby and had a tough time deciding where to start. But thanks to some forum intel and CL ads, chose lime and was not disappointed. MMS greeted me warmly and showed me in. Surprised she didn't ask if I had been there before. Went for the hour $.8 and drew CoCo. I'm not good with ages but I'd guess 40-50. TS was great, with some nice teasing. Back to the room and CoCo gave me a really good massage with good pressure. I must have had alot of tension to work out, because she even did some backwalking!
She let me roam quite freely and and right before the flip, she dimmed the lights just a little. Not sure it that is always done, but I thought it was a nice touch. Ended with a HE, but not sure if that was the standard NOVA finish, because she let me roam alot! Before we finished. She helped me get dressed and I was on my way in about fifty five minutes. She never mentioned a tip and I tipped her. 60, which I know might be pricey, but again wasn't sure if I was getting the norm or CoCo was just really taking good care of me. Anyway, I left very happy and relaxed, and will repeat, but looking forward to trying new places.
Recently visited TCCC. A three call system led me to Candy. Dark hair, thin but not petite. Probably be cups. She was very friendly but a bit nervous at first. During the course of the session she warmed up a lot. Sitting on my back, she gave a so-so neck and shoulder massage that went straight into light touching. Won't go into details in the open forum but left happy. Trusted members can PM me. Afterwards she allowed me to shower but didn't join me. Said it cost extra.
