[QUOTE=Huntrdog64;3933471]I'm going to be in the area next month and was wondering if there was a shop you would recommend. I'll probably be staying in Manassas but am willing to make a 30 min or so drive. Any advice would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]Any ol' shop around here will probably suit your needs. Manassas is a bit farther afield, but a search for AMPs in the Dumfries or Woodbridge area will produce a few candidates. Good luck and have fun.
[QUOTE=Don77;3932873]Long time lurker, first time posting. So I thought I would put up a few reviews in Nova.
McLean Cream Spa in McLean. Nice clean secluded place with easy parking. You do have to walk past a couple of businesses in the building to get to it. Two women there. One in her 50's with man mades. The other is in her 20's with a very slender frame. Great TS, allows roaming, and Nova finish. Can't recommend due to the doorbell constantly ringing and the masseuse having to answer the door interrupting the massage.
Gigi is an AA masseuse that typically advertises on them. She has 2 spots, one in Alexandria and one in Falls Church. She has a Serena Williams build and offers full Service. She shares the Alexandria location with Angelique. Both spots are high rises and safe.
Lucy Thai. Falls Church location in private apartment building. Nice massage with a Russian finish. That's it and there are no extras.
Jane. Vienna location in basement of an office building. She gives the best massage and is a very attractive Chinese woman in her early 30's. A little OTC roaming is allowed but nothing else with a Nova finish. She advertises as Jenny with massage and waxing.
Kitty Kat and Kay are both reportedly gone but have other girls at the same location in Fairfax apartment building. They are Thai and very attractive and provide FS with a typical Thai massage.[/QUOTE]THIS is an example of what an inaugural post ought to be. Rather than ask for details about an AMP or a recommendations for a "good location", you chose instead to share some of your findings from recent outings. And not just [U]one[/U], not just [U]two[/U], nor [U]three[/U] or [U]four[/U] tidbits, but [B]FIVE[/B] different bits of intel. That has to be a record for first-time posts, at least in recent memory. Bravo!
In the scheme of things here, once a member overcomes "lurker reluctance" and starts posting, there are two types: the "Givers," who share a lot of info and advice, and the "Takers," who seldom post anything of real value but often ask for lots of info and details. Even when a member achieves Senior status after a certain post count, that member will be known among the community as one or the other type. The quality of his post contents will reveal which one he is. With this first post, you've taken a great step in the direction of the "Giver" category, Don77. And again, congratulations on overcoming your "lurker reluctance".
There will, of course, always be lurkers for one reason or another, and we need to respect or accept those reasons. But, it's always nice when one of those lurkers joins the ranks of active, contributing members. It means that there is another set of eyes & ears providing info and another member with whom we can exchange intel. Welcome to the club!
(P.S. - As a result of your generosity, I'll send you a PM shortly with some info you might find useful.)
Went to Sun Therapy. This is located in same complex as Care Therapy. Just a few doors down and behind Barnie Therapy.
I had almost the same experience as Care. MMS took money - 40 ish looking. Got a TS. Light massage and a NOVA. Did roam a little. Overall felt like I was rushed.
[QUOTE=KingKingston;3931512]Yes from my experience they do. I've seen all the ladies there Leah, Sandra, and Giovanna. With all having wonderful assets. In terms of standard service I would rank them 1. Sandra 2. Leah 3. Giovanna.[/QUOTE]Hello gents!
I have lived in China or Hong Kong the last ten years and would really like to find a SP or MP that is not Asian for a change of pace.
I've posted a bit on the Sister site "ISG", but to be honest, my reports here are lacking. If someone wa to to steer me in as good direction for either an escort or massage it would be appreciated. I tend to enjoy the bonus massages more because there is more build up, if not always a similar finish.
These ladies sound promising, if I can find out how to make contact. If you prefer, you can PM me as well. I will be in Reston the next few days and am happy to host a visit as well.
TIA and I promise to "pay it forward", as well as report back. With discretion.
Best,
Sky.
[QUOTE=JustForYou1376;3932189]Went by last Friday and today both around noonish and not sure if due to uncle or vacay even tried calling and only get leave message bit both times it's been close. Just a heads up for any mongers coming in from far as I am. More to follow I may take one last trip to hope to get one last try at Coco or Bella that were two of my favs.[/QUOTE]Save yourself a trip, their BP ad says they're temporarily closed for "renovations and to reopen under new management" [URL]https://www.bedpage.com/backpage-nova/TherapeuticMassage/healing-bodyworks-arlingtons-best-asian-massage-amp-bodywork-temporarily-closed/6227972[/URL].
[QUOTE=Mandane;3933304]Sounds like he's talking about Lovely Therapy in Sterling. Since they reopened they now do TS after massage. That is fairly unique in the area.[/QUOTE]Sometimes a TS after the massage would be nice, either because you're feeling hot after the session (depending on what kind of workout happened) or because of lotions used. I'd be interested in trying this out, the only times I've gotten a TS after has been with a regular and because we both needed to cool off.

With regard to your request, Sky, I *might* have something for you, but can't guarantee whether it'll be entirely what you're seeking. I'll send you a PM later today. Cheers, and welcome back.

[QUOTE=Justforme;3930052]Is that Krystal? I need a sweet youngish face sitter.[/QUOTE]Not sure of her name.
Stopped yesterday at FW near the eastern edge of Fairfax, cannot remember the name of the lady, but she was on the upper side of 50 and not my type. Average bust and bum. The massage she gave was top notch, especially on the thighs and calves with long strokes and not to much pressure where you get a charlie horse. On the flip I figured an extra massage would be of benefit, however the technique wasn't working for me. Damage was. 6 and. 4 solely based on the quality of the leg work.
[QUOTE=OneHitWonders;3920867]I went over to K&J Wellness today and I must say, the entire experience was great! Once you step in, you can immediately tell that this place is a few notches above other spas. Massage 100% clean 100% service 100% The hour massage session is soo relaxing and the skills of Joann are pretty good too! It was perfect and impressive! Very satisfied and happy with the service and skills by Joann. Words fall short on how awesome this place is![/QUOTE]Long time monger. First time post. I also tried K&J a couple of weeks ago. The experience was great. Very friendly. Not busy. TS was very nice and the boys were treated very well. Massage was great. On the flip, she took her time. Standard NOVA finish. Not sure if anything else is on the menu. Will repeat!
A decade ago, the AMP scene in and around Tysons Corner and Vienna was a lot different than it is today. Establishments such as [I]Young's Wellness[/I] (112 E. Maple Ave. , 2nd Floor), [I]Venus Body Wellness[/I] in the Freedom Bank Building (502 W. Maple Ave.), [I]Personal Spa Experience[/I] (125-B Pleasant St. SW), [I]MTM Therapy[/I] (307 W. Maple Ave.), [I]Spa Chalet[/I] (2112-A Gallows Rd.), [I]Young's Spa[/I] (8450 Tyco Rd.) and others all offered a standard that was well above the current "NoVA Standard".
Nowadays, the legit and semi-legit AMPs that dot the Vienna and Tysons landscape pale by comparison, some serving as an adjunct to an adjoining or nearby hair & nails salon. While the acupressure itself is occasionally excellent, or at least very good, any accompanying activity tends to be mundane, if available at all. The current establishments are nothing like the ones I remember from my visits to that area in the 1990's and 2000's. Still, since I was working in the Tysons area at one of the satellite offices of the company I work for, I decided to explore a few of the local AMPs on the outside chance that there would be a gem amongst the common quartz crystals. The following review is for purposes of completeness, in the event others are considering a visit.
[U][b]GENERAL[/b][/U]
[INDENT][b]Name:[/b] Comfort Therapy
[b]Hours:[/b] 10am to 10pm
[b]Rates:[/b] 80 (hr), 60 (½-hr)
[b]Staff:[/b] 2
[/INDENT]
[U][b]EXTERIOR[/b][/U]
[INDENT][b]Convenience:[/b] Generally convenient, near the intersection of Gallows Rd and Electric Ave.
[b]Surrounding Area:[/b] This place is located within a 1- and 2-story professional office complex, behind a 7-Eleven convenience store and near a restaurant. There are other office buildings in the area, as well as a Post Office, a gas station, and a townhouse development. Traffic along Gallows Road is brisk at most hours of the day and night.
[b]Parking:[/b] Daytime parking in the lot can be a bit of a challenge, but the side street has some available spots. Evening parking should not be a problem.
[b]Safety / Privacy:[/b] The parking lot is fairly well lit, but there is a crop of trees between this office complex and the 7-Eleven. A scan of local crime reports doesn't reveal anything.
[b]Entrance:[/b] There is a doorbell at the external door, where one must wait until answered. There is no canopy over the entrance, so you'll get wet if it's raining. There is no inner foyer, with an inner door, in which you can wait.
[/INDENT]
[U][b]INTERIOR[/b][/U]
[INDENT][b]Age/Condition:[/b] The whole complex appears to be vintage mid-1980s. Inside, it is clean and even tidy, but old-style drop ceilings, painted drywall construction typical of the era, a narrow inner hallway, smallish offices and rooms, and dated bathroom fixtures gave this AMP a "tired" appearance.
[b]Cleanliness:[/b] The place was clean, and there were no aromas of food or other odors, although the industrial carpet could use some attention.
[b]HVAC:[/b] Fortunately, the A/C was working well and the air temperature was comfortable throughout.
[/INDENT]
[U][b]ARRIVAL[/b][/U]
[INDENT][b]Day & Time:[/b] Friday, 2:30pm
[b]Appointment:[/b] Walk-in, but call-ahead appointments are available
[b]Door Wait:[/b] About a half-minute
[b]Greeting:[/b] One of the therapists (Sara) greeted me and took me back to one of the rooms.
[/INDENT]
[U][b]AMENITIES[/b][/U]
[INDENT][b]Waiting Area:[/b] There's no waiting area at this AMP.
[b]Shower / Sauna:[/b] TS only, in the typical tiled room with set-tub and handheld spray shower. The shower room was clean and in good condition, as was the table.
[b]Bathroom:[/b] Small, with just enough room to close the door. Dated fixtures and some leaking from the faucets. It was stocked with soap and clean hand-towels, but they need a brighter bulb in there.
[/INDENT]
[U][b]ROOM[/b][/U]
[INDENT][b]Privacy:[/b] All rooms have a door and floor-to-ceiling walls. Although it's drywall construction, sounds from adjoining rooms are muffled (probably a result of the drop-ceiling tiles).
[b]Table:[/b] The table could be a little wider, but it's sufficient and long enough so my feet didn't drape over the back edge. It had a hole for the face/head.
[b]Sheets & Towels:[/b] The sheets and towels were fresh (and the towels were laundered after the session), but the semi-circular headrest was draped with paper towels instead of an actual towel. Odd.
[b]Lighting:[/b] Lighting is sufficient, and there is a dimmer to adjust it. Since the rooms are basically inner offices, there are no windows to allow any natural light.
[b]Music:[/b] The therapist turned on a small radio / CD player to provide mood music.
[/INDENT]
[U][b]SESSION[/b][/U]
[INDENT][b]Wait Time:[/b] It must have been a slow time (or maybe it's always slow), but there was no wait time from the point that the therapist took me to the room, took the house fee, and went to turn the shower water on.
[b]Therapist:[/b] Sara is mid-40s, about 5'-3", 34-C, a little chubby (135#), with roundish face, and shoulder-length titian hair (possibly dyed).
FBAS numbers would be approximately 5½ / 5½ / 8 / 8.
[b]Communication:[/b] Very good English skills; no communication problems.
[b]Roaming:[/b] Probably allowed; I didn't try.
[b]Skills:[/b][INDENT][u][i]Shower[/i][/u] --- The TS was a lingering, thorough affair. Not playful, just languid and almost sensual.
[u][i]Acupressure[/i][/u] --- Sara's massage and pressure skills were actually pretty decent, and she did hit all the muscles from head to toe (including the toes). She used an "arm bar" technique with her forearms to work my back muscles, and that felt good. The only part that wasn't good was when her forearm bone briefly went crosswise against my backbone. But, otherwise, the acupressure was good and thorough. It wasn't perfunctory or lackluster.
[u][i]Back Walk[/i][/u] --- She did a brief backwalk, and I would've preferred longer on my latissimus dorsi muscles and thigh/hamstring muscles. Still, considering that she isn't a waif, it wasn't painful. She seemed to know how to step and apply foot pressure to the muscles, unlike some therapists who apply too much weight.
[u][i]Flip[/i][/u] --- What can I say? "[i]Vidi, veni, vici[/i]"? (Well, I took care of the first two, and she took care of the last.) It was a flip, and then we were done.
[u][i]Afterwork[/i][/u] --- There was no afterwork, although I probably could've requested more and gotten some.
[/INDENT][b]Session Length:[/b] I received the full hour and did not feel rushed. However, it was slow at the time I visited. The doorbell rang only once while I was there, and the other therapist met that customer. The phone likewise only rang once (which my therapist had to leave the room during the session to answer). Other than this, there were no interruptions.
[b]Clean-Up:[/b] A small refrigerator-like unit within the room contained moist, hot wash cloths for cleanup, to wipe away the oil / lotion. She also brought a small paper cup of Scope.
[b]Tip:[/b] I offered a standard tip, which she happily accepted.
[/INDENT]
[U][b]DEPARTURE[/b][/U]
[INDENT]The departure was rather straightforward. After I gave her the tip, she gave me a hug and walked me to the front door and said goodbye. No bottle of cold water. Whether they were out or don't offer it, IDK. A bowl of mints was, as usual, available at the exit but I didn't bother.
[/INDENT]
[U][b]OVERALL[/b][/U]
[INDENT] Did I have a bad experience at this AMP? No, it was a decent experience. But as I noted at the outset of my review, if you're looking for adventure and something new in the NoVA AMP scene, you may want to explore other areas than Tysons / Vienna. On the whole, AMPs in and around Springfield and Annandale are likely to offer a more memorable experience and greater "bang for the buck."
[/INDENT]
Stopped by twice a little while ago.
First time a guy was there working as the MassaMan I guess.
He promised young pretty girls and he delivered on that.
The place is old, bathroom is really old.
Rooms are dishelved, smell bad, almost moldy.
Towels looked clean, but they used a paper over the towel, so I bet they weren't changing the towel under the paper.
Face spot had a paper covering as well.
Had a girl named Wendy, who was very pretty, spoke good English. She didn't offer much of a massage, and she was very interested in upselling. Looked like a lot was on the menu, but I only had a. 4 tip, and all I wanted was a nova finish, so she was fine with that her clothes stayed on, but they would have come off for more money.
The second time, I had a different girl, I forget her name, still young and pretty, she wasn't as pretty as Wendy, but she had a better attitude. Still elected for a nova finish, but more is definitely available here.
The place has no table shower, and the only thing that is attractive about this place is the girls, but they are really pretty girls, all under 30.
I couldn't take the room quality and possible sanitary concerns, but if you are willing to overlook that, this place might be for you.
First post, let me know what you think.
Easy convienent location.
Not very private but there is back parking.
Hit or miss on provider looks.
You have about an 75% chance to get a looker, no one is ugly, just some are plain looking.
This is a frequent spot of mine because of consistency. Massage is always above average and you are going to get a nice standard finish. There is never any haggling for a tip.
Sarah, Susan are good, and I think Vicki.
Cleanliness is also hit or miss.
No table shower, a little run down looking in the rooms, could look fresher and cleaner, but things look fresh and not reused.
I haven't met this one yet but she's looking for some guys this morning before she leaves at 1. Looks HOT. Seniors can message me for number.
