My experience with Lavender
My experience at Lavender has only been good. Communication with manager via texts have been answered promptly. I have never been steered to expect someone other than I was seeing. I book my appointments in advance and show up on time. Door is answered within a few minutes. I like that the entrance is in the back and somewhat hidden with the walls. You go to an AMP and it's a crapshoot who you will end up with after someone else greets you. You book someone off LC or other site and get ghosted when you arrive, this has not happened to me at Lavender. Communicate and treat the manager and girls with respect and you will get it back.
[QUOTE=BananaOil;4810254]Yes, that's one of the problems there. The owner / manager is a liar and will tell you Mia is there when she is not.[/QUOTE]
Palace and other AMPs Opening, or NOT
[QUOTE=Brasky;4811596]Hey guys, Anyone happen to see if Palace is open, maybe on the down low? PM if you prefer, especially if they are open on down low.
A couple weeks ago I drove by a few times, both day and night, but I haven't been that far north lately. Thanks![/QUOTE]I'm seeing a number of places (Orlando and other cities) coming back open as of June 1st, or very soon thereafter. I would look for some of the better places (like Palace) to pop open in some fashion very soon, although I also suspect they will be zealously over-cautious about germs (possibly wearing masks, maybe gloves, limiting customers on-site by forcing call-ahead appointments, etc. Who knows exactly until we find out for ourselves).
This magic June 1st date makes me think their opening schedule may somehow be related to their building leases! I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing a lot of these AMPs had to stop paying their lease rent and may have been locked out by the landlord. Then, only allowed to return IF no one else had leased the space in the interim and at the start of a new monthly lease period, like June 1st! It would be highly unlikely anyone else would rent the space considering all suitable tenants would also have been closed by state COVID-19 requirements, but we'll never really know the "relationship" some of these businesses may have with their landlords. Some landlords may have been happy to see them leave (doesn't seem highly likely, but you never know), while other AMPs may not be able to attract any talent to return this soon after the quarantine period. There are many variables which none of us will fully understand, so speculation is all we have, none of which really makes any difference. So, when they open, they open, and they will all probably be very busy for a very long time.
