Been asked for. 6 a few times
[QUOTE=AznSandz;1555359]Stopped by Peach today and it is open, although I literally had to ring the doorbell 5 times because the washing machines were being operated. Although this is nice to know that they keep things clean around their place. Didn't catch a name of my provider but she definitely had some LMT skill. Her massage was outstanding! An actual massage instead of the random rub and poke technique you find at most AMPs. She also walked on my back and popped it in a few places. Standard finish and I ended with .6 for 30 min. I tried to tip. 4 at the end but she asked for. 6 which I thought was a bit strange. All I had left was. 1 so I threw it in since she provided a great massage. I would return just for the massage alone![/QUOTE]I been keeping my tips at .4 as a rule for nova with roaming. And what you described about the therapist asking for. 6 has actually happened to me a few times too, and it seems to be getting more common. It seems to happen every time at ATMB and at the Physical Center in Arlington. I think it also happened to me at ST. The therapist would pick up the tip while I was getting dressed and say she was expecting .6 or flat out ask for .2 more! The first time it happened I gave in and threw in an extra $20, because I planned on repeating with that therapist. But since then I've kindly stayed firm at $40, or just given them the "Maybe next time" like they often say to us.
I used to tip my ATF .6 because her Nova was excellent, skillful, with roaming and a prostate check. But since then I haven't found therapy that compares so .4 it is.
Foot Spa Mapledale please Dale City
Provider named Lisa from Beijing, about 30yo. Nice figure, reasonably attractive.
CL ad says $45, upsell started when I entered. $45 is for soft massage, strong massage is $60.
Private rooms with doors, but door was left open about 3-4".
Paid the $60. Got a decent massage (7/10). Chatted a little duringthe massage. She left the room a few times to answer the phone or greet someone, for which there was no time added. Did not leave happy. I wasn't going to leave a tip, but then as I was leaving she asked for one. Gave her a $20 and departed. On the way out the was an older (55+) American woman sitting in the reception area.
Won't be back.
Her time for vacation. My time for new (to me) places
I hope my ATF's "vacation" is restful for her. Because it won't be restful for me as I will now be traveling farther to unknown shores and ports of call until her return (I hope she comes back. I know from reading this board, they don't always return to this area).
During the evening storms as rain flowed from the sky, I headed south of the mixing bowl by one and visited a nice spa that was located well above the floodwaters.
Perhaps the largest place I've seen (very high ceilings)
Older staff, but that's OK for me.
A standard enjoyable hour across the board with Kim (?) providing the smiles.
I liked this place, but.
YMMV Alot
Was there two weeks ago, same staff I saw two months ago...
[QUOTE=Powkid;1558689]New talent. Old girls are gone. Still a nice place to go. I would recommend this spa to anyone looking for a good massage, and friendly girls.[/QUOTE]I was there 2 weeks ago, and the staff was the same as my first therapy there 2 months ago. You mean the staff was replaced since? Any improvement?
