Also a good time to ask for digits
[QUOTE=SonChi;4494225]Reston Therapy Center on Sunset Hills is closing this month (October 2019) to make way for a new development. End of an era at least to me.
The ladies are dispersing, so if you ever thought about it, now is the time. Table shower plus CMT level massage and more from time to time.
I am a regular so I have been treated exquisitely, YMMV.[/QUOTE]A frequent complaint on the board is when fave providers move on and fall off the radar. Even without a spa closing, AMP women move around, change names, and can be difficult to track down. Anyone who has a fave at RTC might want to take this opportunity to ask her for personal digits. The non-creepy way to ask is to just tell her you want to be able to find her again, promise to keep the number confidential and promise to use it only as a last resort. If you've established a good rapport, then she already feels comfortable with you and it shouldn't be a problem. Also, if you're worried about having a strange number on your phone (another good argument for a burner) you can always create a free email account (protonmail, etc.) and save provider contact info in a draft msg.
Bamboo Therapy, Springfield
It was Saturday evening and I was craving a massage or body rub.
Decided to see who was at Bamboo around 9 PM that evening. Greeted by Leah (Lia?) who was probably dozing in one of the rooms. Easy laugh, she said it has been slow because everyone is watching ball games. This is my second time seeing Leah.
I pay $80 for the hour. As stated previously, the providers at this location tend to skew older. Would probably be a Mamasan at another location. As it is, Leah has a fairly petite figure and an attractive face when she smiles.
Massage was more of a soft body rub, but she worked the entire area, took her time, and we had some idle chit-chat during the session. I think she gave me more of a therapeutic massage on my last visit. Like last time, soft touch was great and she flips me for a NOVA standard finish.
Once every 3 months is usually good for me at this location. I do recommend Leah. Nice change of pace from my out-of-control "Summer activities. ".
Manassas and Bristow reports
I went to see Jenny at Health Magic massage in Manassas. Rates are 50 for half, 70 for the full. I opted for the half since I just wanted to blow my load. I have seen Jenny about three times so far so she knows me. This time she did a lame massage through the towel, no oil, and after 10 minutes, she went for the tease. I directed her to play with me for about 15 minutes, edging me and exchanging some light-hearted banter. I blew a nice load. I tipped 40 which she sarcastically said my tips were getting smaller. I just smiled and left. I think I will scratch this place off my list for several months as her attitude really irked me. What kind of tip do you expect for a quick lame massage and trying to make me pop well shy of 30 minutes?
I tried another spot in Bristow, off of Linton Hall Road, Crystal Massage Spa. The place is run out of a house so you go straight to front door and ring the bell, while out in full view of cars passing by on Linton Hall Rd. An older provider let me in, which I think she may be the only working there. Nothing great to look at. 40 for half hour, 60 for full hour. She did a very good medium massage with hot stones. I have to give her kudos for that. No tease or hint of anything extra towards the end, which surprised me since some of the reviews on rubmaps note this place does standard noVA. We chatted and exchanged some good banter back and forth and I guess I looked like someone who use to visit this place frequently because she stated how it's been a long time since I had stopped by, etc. I probably won't go back unless I'm in need of a legit only massage.
Both places can be found on rubmaps (don't ask me for anything posted on rubmaps as I don't have a membership to see any of the details of reviews).
