Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=PartTimeMonger;3431336]Hey guys, just had a quick question. For some reason whenever I go to VIP (2 times now), I've been turned away by the mamasan because I'm too young? I've been to other AMPs and haven't had this problem at all.[/QUOTE]If it's one thing I know about business in general especially Asian business and massage business in general with all the competition that is, NEVER turn away a paying customer. Unless there is a reason! Being turned away because you look too young is like getting checked if you buy alcohol or tobacco products it's common. Difference is your ID get's checked buying alcohol and tobacco you got turned away because she new better than to ask for your personal ID showing name, address etc. Always another swinging dick vs letting a minor dipping his wick. Odd thing is I've seen some Asian girls in their 20's & 30's I've turned down because they looked 13. Mamasan saying No No they are old enough but I refused works both ways. I've read over a few years period that VIP turn down one guy because he looked like a cop according to him (what does a cop look like?) Another black guy said he was turned away he felt because he was black guess he didn't look like a cop. I'm not sure if any of this meant they were being really selective, over cautious or prejudice or all 3 because there didn't seam to be an on going pattern there with other customers based on no one posting further complaints. You May be just have had bad luck of the draw, wish I had some of that youth problem.

Had an awesome therapeutic massage at sunrise recently (0015 on JJ's list posted in the Raleigh user blog area). Highly recommended for when you are in need of an asian massage to repair your back. All of that being said, my neck doesn't feel much better. I forgot to verify, but the table felt like 2 x4's and plywood though mostly comfortable.

Still searching for that pot o' gold where therapeutic meets sensual. Have fun and be safe.

In their defence, while other rub and tug places have closed but not VIP. They have longevity because Mamasan is cautious. Even when people get in the door on their visit they shouldn't except anything more than the standard finish. Now IMO some past girls were not comfortable with certain races so Mamasan turned away some to respect the girl's choice. My advice is don't give up! Try not shaving for a few days but still have a clean appearance and don't look serious just be yourself and smile.

If you are ever in WS thy Regiman Spa, service is OK with HE. Damage usually $.

Headed to your area Monday and wanted to get some quick recommendations for your neck of the woods. Who's the best to check out right now?

If you go back to the Raleigh page go halfway down to the user blog section. Find JJ's list and look for the last post from Jimjim to find the list of AMPs with rating codes if you're into extras.

Then check the last month of reviews here to see what may have closed since JJ's last update.

P.S. Ocean Care Spa is another great (legit) therapeutic massage place also in a safe part of town.

Have fun!

I will definitely keep trying as I have been curious about VIP for awhile now.

[QUOTE=GovernorsClub;3424827]I found it odd that there was an unusually long time for her to come to the room (not realizing it was a strategy session) and the door was kept open during the massage and the knees-on-back technique kept me from looking to my right as I thought someone came in the room during the massage and I tried to turn my head. When it was time to turn over, I noticed that my foldable wallet was no longer in my pants (hanging near the door) pocket but resting on the fold with half in the pocket and half out. Can't say how much was taken as I am inexperienced and don't keep track of how much I start with. I know. Not smart in this regard. Call it tuition. Didn't say anything and have not been back.[/QUOTE]It's likely nothing was taken but they were checking to see how much you had. Its happened to me where someone went into my wallet while I was in the TS and I always know how much I go in with. Since then the wallet (and I'd) stay in the car and I just take in my cash.

Posted a feeler about this place a week or so ago. Now they say they're open. If the address is correct, its an older country house that was just bought in January as per the realtor sites. May be a good place if its legit. If anyone knows more send me a pm as I'm curious.

1st time poster so bear with me. I'm posting so I will eventually be able to get responses to my occasional questions about particular providers- fair is fair. I rode by the place and saw it was an older remolded house with a two story detached shop. There is a medium sized ying / yang sign out in the yard. The parking is exposed to the street so if you have a memorable vehicle it can be seen by anyone driving past. I called the number and spoke to a man with a slight accent. He gave standard rates HH. 5 & HR. 7, we set a time. A few minutes later he called back and asked to change the time a little, I agreed. Arrived a few minutes early, knocked on door, lady answered eventually. Could see at least two rooms set up from where I waited. I could tell by the sandals at each door. The house has been remodeled and was clean. The lady appeared to be middle aged but I'm never sure, with a slim Asian build but a nicer butt than I'm used to seeing. Table was a standard AMP plywood table with sheets and minimal padding but she did spread a clean bath towel out on top. Offered a shower but I declined. Massage was decent not spectacular. She used her knees and legs alot which to me is a sign that her shoulders and back were tired. Very light touch random teasing till I responded a little then a bit more deliberate. Flipped, standard minimal negotiations for a first visit, left happy. I could tell this wasn't her first time and was good enough so that I will return to see what's on the menu over time.

I did not see anyone else while I was there but I got the impression someone was at the other end of the house. My normal place is Nana on hwy 42. So far Nana is better but I like to give new places a chance.

Change

[QUOTE=PartTimeMonger;3433028]Thanks for the advice everyone. I will definitely keep trying as I have been curious about VIP for awhile now.[/QUOTE]Do not feel bad. I've been going to VIP for a decade, more, since it opened. Three previous trip by BUSY BUSY maybe 2-3 hours! (WTF). Then I finally get in and I was interrogated asking to drop names which I'm horrible with. Then I was charged. 80 for 45 min (WTF). In the room new girl one of best looking ever seen at an AMP. Told me get on table, then I asked for a table shower she took me, and worst ts there ever!. So back to the room immediately she tells me only massage new management I'm like (WTF) again!. So as normal I say no oil no lotion and she breaks out some old sheet which I've seen other places before and hate. So I complained about the sheet to no avail. Then she cuts massage short when I tell her I don't want scalp massage, she sayes DONE GET DRESSED (WTF). I get out my $ hand her. 20 and said thanks for the non effort. Wow it was so bad I use to get treated great there always. I'm just sad by this normally spend 2. 4 there and leave very happy. Worst AMP experience of my life!

I was needing a little stress relief the other night so I stopped by #40. First time I had been at this location. I was impressed on the cleanliness. I could tell that the sheet covering the table was freshly cleaned as well as the towels. My attended was very friendly and accommodating. I enjoy a strong massage which she was able to provide. I got a little more than my full hour. Over all the experience was great. I would highly recommend and will defiantly be returning for future visits.

They do advertise. 80 for 45 minutes. I thought I was getting cheated also a time or two until I looked at the add. She does have a pretty butt though.

But to my surprise they have out lasted some of the stores that were raking in the customers such as WestGate, ATSU in Cary and all the stores on busy Capitol Blvd. Etc. I've got to hand it to them Apple has been consistent. The benefit for us when these stores have slow days which they all do now is they are eager to make that tip money AND they have nothing else to do but sit and wait for customers. So to stay busy they are constantly cleaning the store. And since they don't have customer after customer they change the sheets after each visit which is the way it should be. I'm always looking for that silver lining!!
