A relaxed day to go for a massage
So I've been going to K*** now for a while. Maybe a half dozen times or so. The other day was my first somewhat disappointing session.
Let me clarify, that the massage is important, if the massage isn't good, then the rest of it is slightly tainted, so read my comments with a slight grain of salt and that in mind.
My provider was Pinku, and she's very attractive. Went for the TS and received a longer than normal one. I really enjoyed that, the standard 5 minutes was probably extended out to 10 and the water was hot, so it was very nice. She did a great job in that aspect.
After returning to the room it went a bit downhill though. I don't know how long she's been doing the massage thing, but it was less than energetic, and honestly mostly it was leaning against me with one arm, while using the other arm as a rub tool. Straight down the back, and again, and again. There wasnt much working into individual muscles, or targeting specific areas, more of an overall rub. I tried to explain to do a little harder etc, and that ended up just making the leaning arm heavier on my neck (not doing my neck any favors), rather than more massage on the back.
The massage was short, I would guess at about 10 minutes total. Which sadly I was almost happy about, since it was less than stellar and my neck was getting sore.
The flip was better, and there was plenty of play allowed, but again. Since the massage wasnt too good, the rest was slightly tainted.
After all was said and done, I talked to her for a few minutes, and explained more about the massage and what I would like and prefer, and she finally understood, but this was all on the way headed out the door, so who knows if she'll take it to heart.
I would give her an 8 on the TS, 4 on the massage, 8 on looks, 8 on other endeavors.
I'm not saying that she can't give a decent massage, and I think that me talking to her may help my fellow mongers in the future, but for me, this was not a very nice session. As always, YMMV, and I honestly hope that she improves her massage technique, because added to the rest of the package, would definately make her a stand out performer. As it currently stands however, I'll look for someone else to let us know when the massage aspect improves and ask for someone else until then.
Just Went to New AMP (not) in D Corner
Ok, it's the same 'TAO' guy, but for what I wanted, I got it. It's in condo (Dulles), he walks you to the door over the phone, same as Merrifield. Little fat latino from Columbia. OK, I'm spoiled for 100 lb K girls. Anyway, I dropped.6, took my shoes off, left cell phone in basket (they thought I was LE? ). 15 minutes into the rub down for the flip, quick time, done, out, no tip. It's not massage, it's a little teasy rub down and then the flip. So it's not AMP, sure was close to home though.

$.8=$180.00 & $40=????????
Just a small correction, so there is clarity on the abbreviations he paid .8 house fee and .4 tip and really wanted to leave more.

It's your money throw it away however you see fit.
[QUOTE=Wahooboy94] I paid $80 for an hour
I'm sure I was there at least 45 minutes.
My ritual has been to leave the potential tip sitting out clearly, in advance, with my watch on top to signal to the provider that I am willing to leave a nice tip in return for outstanding service. I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but it is my practice. At the end of our session, I got dressed and left $40. I considered leaving a little more as I really did enjoy the session but decided to leave $40. I am definitely going to go back next week to see if my service improves as a repeat customer.

Personally with my $40 under my watch I may have tipped .10 may be .20 if I really liked the session. I would let the provider know that I needed a HE for the complete tip, maybe evening something extra for more money.

Do you think .6 is a discount for an HJ
After paying .8 for an hour what would your tipping criteria be.
Personally,
Massage only 0 - .4
HJ .2 - .6
BJ .4 - .8
The gusto .6 - .8
... and all this is over priced for the quality that is in the area. See a DR in NY or trip south of the border for more values and better attitudes and quality.
Lex I would like to know what your scale is like, maybe that is why quality suffers in the area. Money is for nothing but the chicks ain't free!
Give me a guide. Thanks

[QUOTE=LexLuther]DC Runner,
It's not clear what you expected for your measley sixty bucks. But I'd say you got about what you paid for. If you wanted more, you should have been prepared to shell out the going rate. It's guys like you who confuse the whole remuneration picture for everyone.
By laying out your tip in advance, you convinced her that that amount was all she was going to get. If you wanted to be coy about it, you should have kept the money in your wallet until you were ready to pay.
There's nothing wrong with being an FNG, but you really should RTFF in order to figure out what to do and how to do it.

Very quiet Saturday = very good massage
It was so quiet at home, and since I'd spent much of the week on airplanes I booked an hour at CTM.
It was so quiet there.- no other clients, no phone calls. No rush. No stress by the end of the excellent TS that included 10 minutes of back massage.-so very relaxing.
Sarah is great. Not the most beautiful, not the youngest, not the "spinner-est"..- but she is pleasant, enthusiastic to see return clients (and I've been returning for a couple of years.)
Today was more fun for me than usual.- eventhough only the usuals are offered. Hour =.8 / left very relaxed and a standard.4 tip.- will continue to repeat. I've already scheduled my next appointment (my birthday), and it turns out it is her birthday the day before mine.- so I think I will leave an extra present to say an extra-special birthday thanks next time.
Always be nice to the ladies

WTF with the HIGH prices?
[QUOTE=Harley Dude 29]A new place opened in Woodbridge and it is a second location for one in Falls Church. They are not advertising much from what I can tell, but I had an opportunity to check them out.
[url]www.massage4you2.vpweb.com[/url]
Great ladies to visit, except for Chyna, a BF. She is all about the upsell and about herself and rush rush rush. If you have a chance to Sylvana, she is South American, and is the best so far. Chyna is in Woodbridge, and Sylvana was working FC.
Looks like they have new ladies working now, so not sure if they rotate or not.[/QUOTE]
They want .90 for a 1/2 session! WTF is up with that?! I can not believe that places are asking so much for a massage. It should be .50 or .60 for a half and then if they want to earn extra money on the side provide extra's at a reasonable price. This is just freakin crazy.
ALSO, Can everyone try not to leave more than .3 or .4 for HJ's. I enjoy a nice hour long massage and don't mind the .7 fee for it, but I don't want these ladies thinking we should pay an extra .6 for HJ's. That is just plain stupid. For .6 or .7 I would expect a cbj
Fishing trip to the Chesapeake
I took a drive out to the Chesapeake Bay today and sought out the woman named after a kids cereal LOL. She asked how did I know her so I used the skills that my 3 letter agency taught me and I was able to drop a name from this board and convince her I'm legit. She quickly warmed up to me. She even ask how [insert other monger's name here] was doing and why he didn't come with me today. I was like, "ahh he he had things to do." No sweat and things proceeded to the shower. Dang I'm good.
Nice table shower, playing with my a-hole and my other areas. This felt good, the teasing.
For the rest of the session it was above and beyond the half ass nova finish that seems to plague noVA.
I kept my pricing inline with DC pricing so if you go here and get treated extra special, use the DC tipping scale.

Our friends off of Edsall
Outstanding visit to this Edsall Rd location during the lunch hour. Greeted by the Mamasan who pointed out to me that my zipper was down (oops! ).
Escorted me to my room upstairs where I would be greeted by very pretty Anna. Probably 40s, very nice figure, excellent top and strong legs I would later discover. Very sweet woman, decent English, very nice chit-chat.
Undressed, escorted me to the TS where I received a very nice, non-rushed TS. I would have preferred slightly hotter water, but not really an issue. I think I must have been on that table for at least 10 minutes.
Back to the room. Anna delivered a massage through a towel which was actually very nice. I usually don't like have a layer of cotton between provider and receiver, but she seemed to know all the pressure points and delivered an excellent, medium firm massage.
Turned me over, superb finish. I left very happy and hope to revisit next month. I will definitely ask for Anna again.
