M and M Wellness Franconia
[QUOTE=The Nub;1826121]So I went to the double M place in Alex. Mamasan greeted me at the door, and led me to my room. 0.8 / hr was collected, and once I was ready my therapist met me in the room. Good looking lady for her age, K-therapist, mid-50s. I asked for a quick shower to wash off the sweat from this scorching heat, and my therapist asked me to follow her. To my surprise I was led to a TS, where every nook and cranny was thoroughly soaped, lathered and rinsed. Felt much better already after the TS. Back on the massage table, average massage, but nice therapy on the buttocks. Before the flip plenty of feather touch south of the border. Nice Nova therapy with roaming over and under, north and south of the beltway, even at the Y. Left 0.4, but I would have left an extra 0.1 if I had the change because the job was well done.[/QUOTE]Had very similar experience as above except for one thing. Saw JUNE, who has been there since beginning of August. Not a day over 30, if that, and a little bit thick. Now, there is sloppy thick and sexy thick. This one is sexy thick with great rack. (Tip: tell her she has a perfect body.) Although a K-girl, she is a native English speaker with bubbly, exuberant personality. It's easy to get her going, laughing and talking about herself and she knows how to flatter a man and make it sound sincere. Only downside: when you ask her a question, she stops in the middle of massage to think of an answer. This happened several times, interrupting my bliss. Despite what Robreev says, lots of girls straddle. I did give a bigger tip than above, but she was well worth it. Not sure if I got the full hour, but who cares? She left me feeling good. She is not there very day, so call ahead. Give her some business so she stays around. Best experience I have had in a long time. I will repeat, most def.
Massage. 7.
Personality. 10.
Finish. 10
MM = Minimum and Meager service

But she wanted 60 for a simple standard noVA (I held to my guns and paid 40) and she wanted double (80) for 2 cups of a standard noVA. When I asked for services above standard noVA, she would not give me a price. She wanted me to start off with what I was willing to pay. She rebuffed 60 for dining at the Y.
When I first went there today for my session, the place was full. I had to sit behind a screen, near the shower, and listen to some ole' feller get the soapy treatment. LOL The provider giving the shower was thin and in some tight jeans shorts. I would had liked to have her instead. About 15 minutes of waiting around I was finally led to the room, with about 5 minutes of waiting for my provider to show up. I paid for an hour and got shorted a half hour. WTF? Not worth the 80 fee. I did not ask her name when I left because I wanted to get the heck out of there and call it a day but judging from your description, she sounds like June.
I'm willing to go back and try again but not have a session with the thick chick. Or are all the K providers asking for 60 now for simple noVA?
One reason to be cautious
[QUOTE=The Nub; 1828174]I was happy to see an Ad for a new place in Arlington on Wilson Blvd two days ago (look on BP). We have always had very limited options in Arlington so when I saw the ad for a new Asian spa I had to try it asap. So I stopped by yesterday morning, and I learned it was their very first day in business.
The place looks ran down from the outside, but inside it has been completely renovated. There was actually a man still working on the last details of the renovation / decoration of the spa. This same man was the one who picked up the phone too. The place looked comfortable and clean.
Anyway. 0.65 / hr was collected. There was only one therapist when I visited. Chinese lady, late 30's, with an athletic build, not too bad. Nice massage, I would actually rate it slightly above average, because she combined some stretching techniques for my back, neck and legs. Also, she used her knees to do some deep work on my back which I've only had from Chinese therapists, pretty nice. Got a smile, though there was a bit of upsale. Once I was completely relaxed, I got a little more massage until the hour was up. All in all, still walked having saved a little cash because the hourly rate is only 0. 65 / hr, and I got the full hour, which is rare nowadays. Not a bad first impression, might return to see if other therapists are available in the future.[/QUOTE]I haven't visited yet but I did look the address up on google maps and, using street view, it's clear that they've chosen to locate in a very residential area. And that's one reason to be cautious, because nothing gets the local constabulary more engaged than complaints from neighborhood residents. Maybe I'm being hypercautious (is that a bad thing?) but I would be a bit concerned about getting caught up in a raid or health department "check."
Clinton and Bush Years were Good,
Although things started thinning out during Bush's second term. Today, I seem to be hit for a large tip before I can even relax on a massage table and feel hustled as I walk out the door. Receiving not much more than I could have self-served at home without an attitude (or defense).
After a stressful week, I just wanted a good massage with someone I recognized, knows what she is doing and has a pleasant attitude. That helps me feel good mentally without the fake flattery. It had been a while, but I decided to visit Soft Touch in Springfield. I called to see if Mae or Hannah were still there, and fortunately got an appointment with Mae (mentally and physically, it was a good visit). Guess we don't say much more these day, other than I plan go back next weekend.
Back to waterfowl hunting
After eating bitter M&M candies over on Franconia on Fri afternoon, I decided to don my waterfowl gear and go hunting for a large bird in Loudoun to end the night. I went to the original location, just to try something different since I had visited the second location (near the BBQ place) twice within the past month or so. A great experience was had. Kudos to the Chinese for being more attentive to the customers vice the greedy Koreans. Vetted Seniors who have solid reporting can pm me for more details.
