Has anyone seen the new sign over at sko how stupid does Uncle leo think we are? The bust was all over the news and a month later the sign changes and the place is back open? I would hate to be the newb that walks in there. I was thinking of going in and seeing if I could get an acutal massage from a undercover cop. They can't bust you for wanting a massage or can they?
[QUOTE=Superman06]I've only been to Magical Touch once and I would never spend my money there again. The reason being I was in and out in a record time of twenty minutes. Too bad because I thought it was a pretty nice place. But spending a total of 160 for a 20 minute session is not what I'm looking for. I showed no disrespect to anyone there. Sessions at AMP's have gone from one hour to 45 minutes in recent years. I guess turnover is important in your business but so are repeat cutomers. You talk about respect for the ladies. That my friend is a two way street. Taking a customers money and pushing them out the door in 20 minutes shows no respect. It's the reason I drive the extra miles to DC.
FWIW I think your original post and this one are trolls but I responded anyway.[/QUOTE]
I've been to MT a few times. The first time I went it was terrible, but I would later find that it was the provider not the place. I had Daisy the first time. She was a rush artist. She just wanted to do the shower and go straight to the standard VA finish and get me out of there. No massage at all. Not only that but she was asking for a huge tip for getting me out the door in 15 minutes. Initially I thought I would never return.
I eventually was in the neighborhood again and decided to give them another try. I got another provider and it was a good time. A completely different experience than the first time. I have gone back maybe two or three times. There have been no problems and never saw Daisy again. It is my understanding that Daisy no longer works there. Of course I did post reports on my visits.
[QUOTE=Utwogood]Don't get me wrong. I appreciate this, I guess. I'm just wondering--what's with the generosity? Aren't you one of those "RTFF" or "TOFTT" folks? What happened to telling newbies to gather their own intel?
BTW--you didn't mention the one I go to--thank God.[/QUOTE]Jj is a smart man, he also reads the Post. That's the list of advertisers in the Sports section, a good place to start for any newcomer. And I know at least one of those places is a pure legit massage place only. So your odds aren't that bad. LOL
Now, about the one that you go to. Do tell.
[QUOTE=Jag65]Been a while and found myself near AT this week. As a reward to myself decided to research the forum for recommendations. Found that Sue was highly recommended, but also Kelly (more fun) and Joanne. I opted for Sue, called ahead and off I went.
Sue was as described, beautiful youngish (I'd say early 30s though she'd likely pass for 20s). Got the third degree about "how you know me" "who's your friend". Don't think she was satisfied with my answers. (first mistake)
Verified prices and paid .6 for the hh (second mistake), cause no TS anyway.
Massage was light to medium (she didn't ask) and she seemed somewhat bored, going back over the same spots over and over. When in range, modest roaming was allowed, with limits. She kept a towel on me the whole time (third clue) even though the room was warm and I tried to remove it.
On the flip, covered again (fourth clue) got to enjoy her pretty face and decent body. Some casual conversation and got her to smile. She paid extra attention to the inner thighs and I thought we were going to be making some progress, but all of a sudden she announces "times up" (20 minutes? WTF). Tried some gentle encouragment even offered to pay for the second hh. Said she had another client waiting.
I've gone into places where they were convinced I was ULE, but still got the full treatment. This was quite the disappointment. On the F/B/S/A scale, I'd give 8/7/0/0 (though the body would likely have been higher). Next time, I'll ask for Kelly, pay the hour, take a shower, be a repeat customer, and hope I'm not on the bad boy list.[/QUOTE]No shower there. I found Sue's massage to be "eh," but didn't have the same issues you did.
Finished big project that required lots of overtime. A visit to my ATF provider and place was called for. So.- I called it an early afternoon.- called Angie for an appointment with Mai, and hauled my a** to K***
I like the place and the people. YMMV, but from MMS to the various ladies, they are always friendly and.- well, I like to believe they actually care about the clients.- it seems that way to me.- if you are happy to chat, they are happy to talk.- if you just want to be quiet.- they respect that.- and still a relaxing enjoyable experience.
Eventhough I called, they needed me to wait a (short) while. Probalby 10 minutes.- but it was oK (not in a huury is better).
Paid the house standard. 8/hr and laid out on the table
Mai arrived. "Good to see you again". "not too long time. How was your trip" Off to the shower.
This was an extra-thorough and relaxing shower. Good hot water. Musch soap. Much attention to everything.
Back to the room after drying.
Back on the table.
Nice massage (although for the massage, Mai prefers to leave the towel aas a buffer as she has very firm hands and strong arms.) Moved to the feet.- and a little too deep (sorry she says).- better now, yes.
Seems the drape disappeared (no problem!. Part of the game)
Soft touch on the back, legs, boys, etc..- turn over. More massage. [I like Mai. But she is a little mechanical now.- shame as excellent in other respects. Her mechanics are not distracting.- but, a little more interest and flair makes for a more enjoyable time.
Good massage on thigh and sholders.
Time to go.- help with shoes, water? See you soon. Usual standard tip (never discussed just thank you without counting)
See you soon.- yes.
Be nice to the ladies.
Just in care someone cares - I emailed MT back when the initial posting was made but have not received any response yet.
Has anyone else tried to contct MT via email?

Tee Tree has never closed early in my experience and I go very often. You should visit again because I believe it is the best place in NOVA. Exceptionally clean place, great massage, no rush (always full 30,45, 60 or 90 minutes) and practioners with a great attitude that truly appreciate your business.
I know where my stimulous check will be spent!
[QUOTE=TopherLA]I was in NOVA last week and decided to pay a visit to Tea Tree. I arrived at 7:20 and it was closed. The sign in the window said it was open untill 8:00. Is it normal for them to close early? I've been told that it's usually better to just stop by but now I'm not so sure.[/QUOTE]
Needed a GOOD rubdown really bad this afternoon so I trudged up the steps to SunStar and was met by Angela (Angie). She is tall and skinny and VERY nice to talk to and be around.
.8 for the hour
TS was just wonderful and very complete
A few minutes in the sauna then she came in and finished drying me off with the towel.
Massage was as requested - medium and then soft. She worked out all the kinks and lumps and bumps and had me almost asleep.
Turnover - more of that OUTSTANDING massage both medium and soft and the normal NoVa finish.
.4 for the tip, never counted nor looked at.
She works only Wednesday thru Friday and I recommend her highly for the standard NoVa fare. She KNOWS how to do a proper theraputic rubdown!
If you go see her tell her that JJ or Jim suggested you visit.
She is just wonderful!
I will see her again!

Ok, so, I'm in town for a few days and decided to try and get some local AMP action.
I now understand what is meant by "typical NOVA finish". Essentially, it's someone doing their best to get as big a tip as possible for a R&T job.
OK. This place isn't worth the trip. Standard. 8 for the hour, but, Mina was, well, large to put it mildly. Massage was decent, but, nothing to write home about. English was pretty limited, and, the negotiation process was confusing as a result.
Tip was the only clear part of the negotiation for extras. She knew the numbers.
Place was clean and nicely set up. Might repeat if someone posts a positive review of a different RT, but, won't be going back otherwise.
The project just completed five days ago required 19 days in a row of extended hours labor.- such that this week's "normal hours" actually let me catch my breath.
I'd already seen my Annandale friends earlier in the week.- but I really wanted another massage.- so, uncommon.- went for another relaxing hour, but his time to C**.- a place I do enjoy but had not visited for almost a month.
Sara was "happy" to see me.- she's my favorite there (and I like to pretend she means it when she tells me I am her favorite client, even if I do not visit often enough <she pouted with a smile )
It started as a quiet morning.-- and after confirming I wanted an hour, paid the standard. 8 and off to the shower.
Without doubt.- best TS ever, anywhere.- extended time and almost a full massage under the warm water with the very soft soap and strong hands.
Back to the room to get dry <"next time if it's quiet, you wash my back OK". She said with a grin!.- OK I agreed
A great 45 minute massage followed. Well great except neither hte MMS nor Garia would answer the phone, and she had to interupt the back and leg work at least four times.- and it made her mad.
Why mad.- well, we'd slipped into a mutual massage rhythm that she was getting into (a benefit for being the first client of the day, and a regular client at that).
Five more minutes of back and gentle touches after the fifth (and last call thankfully), with much gentle blowing around the nethers. And gentle, polite roaming.
Flip. And no rush today.- another 30 minutes of great massage for both with wonderful smiles for both after about 20 minutes.
Hot towels. And 10 more minutes of massage on arms and head.
Time to go. And 10 minutes of "let me rub your neck and sholders some more Sara.- OK.) and a hug at the end.
Total time. About 85 minutes as I walked out the door. Standard tip.- with smiles and "don't be a stranger, come back sooner next time,
And yes I will.--- a definite repeat place.
Sara is 35 +/- she is not "skinny" but proportional and all natural with a pleasant personality
F/8 B/7 TS-10 Massage. 10 Service. 10+ today.
Always be nice to the ladies.--

PS.- as is true in many things, YMMV.- I've been a regular at C** for a couple of years (almost since they opened). I thought they were a "no extras at all" kind of place the first three times I visited (and came back because the therapist gave a really good massage). Visit four, was my enlightenment. They don't advertise much and, based on my experience and what I hear, this is not a place to look for more than those things that make NoVA AMPs pleasant. FWIW I think that is why a few pleasant places are generally not visited by some who insist (boorishly) for more and are not targeted by LEO <because they are not causing concerns
Places that cause concerns get LEO visits.-- makes me wonder what was actually happening at that place at the Mall reported by WMAL about two weeks ago.
Over-and-out
Right next to the Hilton Garden Inn
Mamasan that answered door I believe was just a provider.
Paid standard house fee for 1/2hour
Short time later "B" entered the room
-early to mid 40's
-clear english
-way to much make-up
-little petitie body
Let me just start by saying that although I'm not an active poster, I've been in the NoVA AMP scene for almost 8 years now. Never really a strong regular, but a once every 2-months or so kind of guy.
I went to Tea Tree Therapy & has a masseuse aptly named "Tea". The massage was a relatively decent massage, but for an $80 fee, I expect, at the least, a decent massage. She used oil on my back & wiped it off with hot towels when complete.
Be warned though. NO EXTRAS & I was draped the entire time. I mentioned that I didn't need the draping & sort of pulled the towel off so it hung halfway off. But the provider put it back on & covered me up.
The massage was a decent one. But if you're looking for the "standard NoVA finish". Prepare to be disappointed. There was no HJ & no mentione of it. In my years of frequenting the AMPs in this area, this was one of the disappointing experiences.
I've been to Tea Tree many times and never left disappointed. I've had "Tea" as my therapist a couple of times and never had a problem or had to ask for the standard NOVA finish. If you were looking for something EXTRA, perhaps that was the issue.
Nice place, Nice ladies!

I guess that is why they have the abbreviation YMMV.
Always be nice and read Propilot's post on frequency.

Many months ago I had a less than stellar experience at Zen with Mandy. To maintain carma, I felt an obligation to go back and try again.
On this visit I drew Apple and it made all the difference. She might be in her mid 40s but is in great shape with some bolt-on Ds. The shower was nice and warm and I was cleaned thoroughly. Apple was friendly, funny, and gave a nice energetic massage with a good attitude. I had an almost standard N. VA finish with one minor twist. Just as I was reaching the point of no return, she farted. That's a first time experience for me but it fits the carma theme because I'm sure that I did once long ago at another place. But, darn, you know those K girls, even their farts smell like roses. Finished nicely after we both stopped laughing.
Only negative is that the place was absolutely dead but she had me out the door in less than 40 minutes even though I paid for an hour.
