Gallows Road massage and Thai place
I am not from the area. I visited the Chinese AMP on the Gallows Road twice in 6 months. This place is next the 7eleven, on the second floor. The first floor is a beauty salon. There are 2 C-ladies, late 30s and 20s. I didn't have any HE or DIY with the late 30s lady at this place. I usually pass places without HE, but this place is special. The massage is so good, especially facial massage. I still want to try the third time. I guess maybe because I only visit them 2 times. Please pm me or let me know if you have more luck. I will visit NOVA this weekend. I used to know the Thai place (200hr) and shared the Thai place with some of you here. One of the 20s Thai girl name is Sasha. I lost their numbers. If anyone know the place, can you pm me the number. Many thanks.
TOFTT (Again). Discreet Spa in Vienna, therapy by "Pretty Lady"
So I was in need of therapy, so I looked at the ads on the usual sites. Came across a discreet ad I hadn't see before, they do facials and waxing too. I called and set up an appointment, but as soon as I hung up the phone regret set in, because I really was stressed out, and I knew I was taking a gamble by visiting this place. Anyway, it turned out to be very nice therapy, and just what my body needed. Cozy little spa between a salon and a nails place, small but still very comfortable. Nice little space, very homely vibe. And Pretty lady is an acceptable description, Thai, around 40, but a lot more fit, and younger looking than the average 55+yr old Korean granny. Pics could be her, but I'd say 15 years ago. I enjoyed the massage quiet a bit, above average massage, great work on my legs which were very sore. My session actually went over the hour, I was in a out in 1hr and 10 mins. Standard rates. I left satisfied and stress free, would repeat. TakingOFTT paid off. The more Chinese and Thai spas I visit, the more I lose interest in K-spas. I'll see if I can find a Viet spa next.
Feels like I'm doing a lot of leg work lately. I seem to like the thrill of trying new therapists.
As usual, seniors may PM for more details.
Great massage but 100% legit

Many thanks.[/QUOTE]The spa you're talking about is across the street from the 7-11 and is right next door to the post office. Jin is the owner and gives one of the best massages I've ever experienced, bar none. But, whether you go there a 3rd time, or a 30th or a 300th, the only thing you'll get is a great massage.
One indication it's legit is that there's no locking doors anywhere, not even the front door. In the typical AMP that's talked about here, there's almost always a two-step entry process and the MMS escorts you to the room and makes sure you don't run into any other clients. Jin's waiting room is wide open and there is often someone arriving or leaving. And a fair amount of her clients are women, another pretty sure sign of legit-ness, since most women have a well-developed radar when it comes to HE joints.
Jin sometimes has another therapist (usually Jenny or YuYu) but I've seen how strictly she controls everything so I wouldn't hold out any hopes that they might be tempted to stray. The ceilings are all open and there are only curtain closures for the massage cubicles. Jin would be able to hear very easily if anything was going on and the offending therapist would be gone in a flash.
But two thumbs up if you're looking for a deep (and I mean really deep!) massage at 80 / hr and 100/90 minutes.
Now, if you want the standard AMP experience on Gallows Road, check out the spas in the office complex behind the 7-11. Those have been hit or miss, in my experience, but you might catch them on a good day.
TOFTT (yes. Again) : "Touches of Thai Yoga" new Thai in Arlington *won't repeat*
This is the ad: [url]http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/thp/3909391301.html[/url]
So I've been on a roll, and had been getting good therapy every time recently, so I decided to push my luck and try this new thai therapist in Arlington. She just opened her studio this week. Researched her phone, no reviews, only previous ads from Maryland, and a couple 1-2 year old ads that suggested I might get the NoVa therapy I needed. Drove to the place, walked in and met a very attractive Thai CMT. Late 30's, medium build, good looking lady. She had me fill out a medical history form, then led me to the massage room and was asked to get ready and keep my underwear on. Got an average, combination Thai massage. Massage was just OK. At the end I asked for a therapeutic technique I needed to relieve some stress I still had, but that technique is not available. Total damage 0. 8 / hr, and 0. 1 tip. I won't repeat, I left still stressed.
This goes into the "best of" USASG
[QUOTE=Tophat31;1808846]I then did something I never done before. I was so worked up I finished myself off. I walked out and gave her the 120 / hour rate (thinking of how bad I got ripped off) and I tipped myself. 40 for the finish.[/QUOTE]Somehow, the stories of being pushed / tricked into self-service are always the funniest. You tipped yourself pretty generously for what seems like a quick Nova; was there at least any roaming? :-D
Same experience with the Thai lady

-Top[/QUOTE]I had the same experience with a Thai 30s lady in NOVA 6 months ago. I can't find her ad anymore. She has her private place in a town house. Charged 120hr for massage. Massage is good. On the flip, she didn't give any extra. I asked her politely for a DIY with her helping. I told her a professional massage is just 60hr, but 120hr there must be more. She told me to respect her (I just asked her if there is any extra, no touching at all) , walked out and left me alone in the room. The thing made me angry is at the end she asked me for tip when I was about leaving. I said no, and she yelled and cursed something in Thai. Total rip-off.
Anyone got any info on any of these CL therapists?
Feel free to PM. No reviews anywhere and after my last gamble with the new, un-reviewed Thai therapist in Arlington was a bust, I'm afraid to be left still stressed again.
