[QUOTE=Nutzoid;1408156]It is a an AMP not a brothel. Best darn AMP anywhere I might add. It is the measuring stick for polite consistent service . suggestion is she really needs to lower her hourly rates. Isn't it 80 for one hour? She should drop the hourly to 60 and another ten off for regulars. Regulars should not need to pay more than 50 per hour.[/QUOTE]I have to say Nutz nailed it on the head. She does run a fine establishment but the prices have kept me away lately. It is worth every penny but I can go get a table shower and all the trimming for the same price right now. A few months ago no I woulda paid an extra. 5 for survice but the times are tough and they know it. If she lowered the rates for regulars she would have alot of people all week long not a good day here and there or a day where she makes just enough to keep the lights on

Cherry is of course a VERY intelligent lady-she just sometimes gets confused on English words-usually abreviations or slang. I had a copy of the Acorn article and was able to show her in the photos the plain clothes vs. The uniformed cop, and she got it of right away. Usually she will ask me what something means, and half the time she already knows and just wants to be sure. I don't know what to say about the lingerie situation, but even though Cherry herself is the only one I've ever spent any time with there, I'm certain the working girls don't dress like Victoria Secrets models, rather comfortable "flirty" wear. Some guys consider a women wearing a tank top and boxers "lingerie". For those unfamilliar, Cherry will usually wear running clothes, and change into a sundress and thong panties and braless before coming into the room, so it's possible the ladies strip down a bit for the session, but I have no first-hand clue.
As for price I would love nothing better than if every massage place-legit and not lowered their prices some-maybe even got into a price war. I'm certain they wouldn't be charging what they are if it were not for the high-end leases, and greedy owners. $150-$200 dollar range is a killer even if I had the money these day-and who does? But that seems to be the going rate. I really miss spending an hour with Tanya since she spends at least 50-60% of the time providing the fun part, and Cherry will talk and laugh during the near hour long massage-then make things interesting for as long as it takes without being a clock-watcher-it's not uncommon to spend nearly 2 hours in CBS with a one hour purchace.
I gotta get a job soon!

I got to get a job soon![/QUOTE]I'd love to see a price war. I have seen Oxnard AMPs holding their prices pretty firm. But, prices elsewhere have dropped. It is common to get a 1 hour massage for 40-50 dollars. The holiday trimmings can be added for 40-100 depending on the menu. 100 is tops. You really only need to pay 80 right now.
As mentioned a table shower and massage and FS, sometimes two MT and MSOG is available for 150 total. Cherry is charging 80 for the massage. Dropping her prices might not be in her business plan as it might increase traffic to much, which raises concerns with the local businesses and of course adding another MT. She might be right on with her price point as she is a smart business women. IMHO I think she should drop her one hour to 60 or maybe 50. That would at least put her close to the other AMPs in Ventura county. It might steal away some of the traffic from other local Oxnard AMPs. Maybe she can do a month of May Spring special. She can do it again in a couple of months and then look at her books to see if financially worth repeating. If nothing else she should drop the price for repeat customers. The thing I like about Tanya and Cherry is that they make the customer feel like a king. Really old school great caring service. I love Cherry and she is one of my ATF. But times are tough, when similar services can be had for 120 instead 180. I want to loyal to her but if I save 60 bucks the third one is FREE!

New idea, new info!
As much as they need to keep there doors open, we also would like to keep going to AMP's so my suggestion is offering them what we would like to pay for our visit and if we can't strike a deal just move onto the next one. Senior members and trusted members only, if you would like to know how we can do this PM me and we will move this conversation to a more private area.

Direct from Cherry herself:
"About prices we can't change. We may some times discount little. * we may change open hour by 9 am-9 pm. Was (9am-8pm) how do you think? Or 9am-10pm which is better?"
No word back on the "lingerie" mystery, but hope you can all weigh in on the hours issue.

Toftt amp
I'm down to TOFTT. I've always wanted to go to an AMP, any suggestions?

I can get FS one hour at many AMPs and the cost difference is buy two get one free compared to Cherry. She has 1/2 hour massage ten dollars off coupons. That brings her hourly rate down to the cost of what other AMPs are charging for one hour in and around Ventura County. I am not sure why she wants to increase the hours of operation or why it was brought up. Personally, I am no more likely to go there at 180 regardless of the times she is open. I am sorry she she doesn't get it.

Convenience vs Cost

I am sorry she she doesn't get it.[/QUOTE]I think what she is trying to say is, since I'll be more convenient for you that I can charge you this price? And since it's conveninet for you, please pay me. So goes the theory. Most Asians are tight fisted with cash and can drive a hard bargain, and as uncle sam is finding out, can't really negotiate that effectively against China. Once in a while money talks, when it's slow and they haven't had any customers and you come in and say all I got is $.5, whoever it is, probably will go for it. But the service may or may not fall short of your expectations. I found that if I short them I hear about it next time or they short their service. Usually with a regular I'm well taken care of but you just never know.

I got a call from Cherry today. She wanted everyone to know that starting April 1st, the new hours of her parlor will be 9am-10pm. As for pricing, she said the owners won't budge fearing pissing off the other businesses and / or stealing their customers. (?). However, they would be offering "specials" to long-time regulars, and at certain times throughout the year. She also said they had one of those "buy 10 get one free" deals going on, but it that's the first I've ever heard of any non-legit place running that promo.

I can only speculate what she means. Owners? Either she has a partner or partners or she is holding the price point by communicating with the other AMPs in Oxnard. Most of whom have held their prices in a falling market. I don't think she understands that a get ten get one free is a little far fetched. Hat am I suppose to do keep a punch card in my wallet with cherry blossom massage / spa on it? Especially when we can get two get one free FS incall. It is simple, she needs to drop her hourly rate.

Lingerie at CBS
[QUOTE=Nutzoid;1406594]Donald, I've never seen any of the girls at CBS dressed in Lingerie. I didn't think Cherry would permit it. I've been there more than a few times but you more than me. LOL. Have you ever seen lingerie? He said he paid 50 door and 100 tip. Personally I can't understand why any AMP would allow revealing clothes. It casued to much attention and not in the right way. It pisses off the local businesses when they go outside to talk on the phone or to have a smoke. It would be better for them to wear scrubs. Easy to launder and they slip off the easily. Scrubs are more clinical, which is what you would think most AMPs would want to portray, at least on the surface. Personally, I really enjoy the way Cherry dresses. Like a butterfly in a cocoon.[/QUOTE]Sorry to have have taken soong to respond to the lingerie question. I should have described it as a sexy, tiny dress. Ana was definitely dressed up for the session. Cherry knows me and provides me with a different MT each time. I think she has them dress that way for each session with me. Answering Donalds' question. Cherry meets me at the back door each time. I don't like going in the front door because there are always customers for the liquor store parked right in front of CBS. I would not like to be seen by one of my neighbors who my be parked there. Sorry about the confusion with my use of the "lingerie" description.

IMHO, wearing sexy clothes not fit for a legit massage have a lot of disadvantages. It tosses away all pretense of these places being legit. Causing local businesses and LE to take notice more easily. I rather the place be more UTR with easy access scrubs and sexy underwear underneath. Nobody is going to take notice of a girl talking on the cell in the parking lot with scrubs. As opposed to a tight mini skirt with a leopard tube top.

Previously they had all been open much later. Port Hueneme AMPs are not subject to the same restriction, so they stay open later as a result.
