Massage Parlor Reports (Formerly Pine)

[QUOTE=Mmaforever;2742874]Wow. That sucks. I'm sorry you had such a bad time.[/QUOTE]Used to hit that place when Sunset was too busy (back when sunset was good! Always a great massage and no hassle HE. My only problem with this place was the open air above the wall between rooms. Not an issue if you're the only clinet however very awkward listening to dude next to you grunting.

Is it time we do a list of top lake county AMP's to start out 2016?

I'll open with:

1) Mystic.

2) Anna's locations (deerfield, LB, Mundy).

3) Green (in libville).

Have never been to Pine or Cozy so wonder how they compare.

Yes. When I'm in a room and she has to leave to answer the door its quite annoying when they want a PhD dissertation the type of massages offered knowing that she is busy.

[QUOTE=BrewCityGuy;2742504]Just stopped in today. I haven't been here in a while but thought I would check it out again hoping to get the cute young girl. Walked in and only one girl was available. Not sure if she is the girl you are talking about but she was cute and young. That is where the positives end for me. She put me in the room right next to the entrance which is never good. Nice massage. Even included some hot stones. Then the flip came and that began the "you do, I no do" routine. She squirted some oil in my hand and started the self serve hoping she might take over. She flat out refused but did offer minimal assistance. It wasn't happening for me as self serve tends to be aggravating. Told her never mind and she said "ok, all done. " I started to get dressed and she opened the door to take out the towels. When she opened the door I was in plain view of anyone who may have walked in. While I was getting dressed another customer showed up. I heard two different male voices. They were asking a lot of questions about what kind of massages are available. Really? I hate when this happens. Anyway my girl comes back to show me out walking me right past the two guys playing 20 questions. Funny thing was they were good looking guys. Probably late 20's to early 30's and dressed in suits. The kind of guys that could go to any bar and go home with the hottest girl there. They decided not to stay and we ended up walking out together and making eye contact. I hate that too. I've been avoided this place for a better part of a year and today I was reminded why. Hopefully everyone's visit will go better than mine.[/QUOTE]

I'm fine with your choices. But you should know that location is Legit. Excellent massage. But legit. I assure you.

I would put Yedam on the list if you like Korean. Deerfield and Wieland, NE corner. From the posts, I hear they have improved. Bob.

Yep. Add Yedam to the list.

[QUOTE=DMichaels69;2743510]Yep. Add Yedam to the list.[/QUOTE]Won't be too hard to replace Green on a top 3 list.

[QUOTE=Yeouch;2743706]Won't be too hard to replace Green on a top 3 list.[/QUOTE]Over the spring and summer I really enjoyed Green. Leah, the bigger girl was very accommodating and reasonable. Then this fall the reasonableness disappeared and it was all tip, tip, tip. I wouldn't have minded so much if the performance had stayed consistent. So Green is off my list.

As a replacement, you may consider Fantastic Chinese Massage (aka Asian Wellness) in Libertyville. I'll tell you up front that for all her years of experience, Michelle still doesn't know how to give a massage, neither soft nor therapeutic. Anna is better, but not great. But the finish is consistent. Also, I've found hair color packages in the washroom. No, I wasn't snooping, they just left it out. So you know that you are not getting a young one right off the boat. They never seem to lack for customers.

While convenient to my home, none of these places are true gems. I've gotten into the habit of driving south for better options. And speaking of gems, I have yet to try Gem in Mundelein. The reviews I've heard are only so so.

Thanks for all the clues and PMs. Sometimes it feels like solving a riddle and once you uncover the answer you feel like a little kid in a candy shop. LOL.

[QUOTE=Mmaforever;2741866]Its off of GB. In a strip mall next to tanning salon.[/QUOTE]

Anna actually asked me to go to GEM and report back to her. LOL. I was in Anna's legit spa sitting next to a legit woman I really care about. I mean seriously care about. So I told Anna I don't go to those type of places. Anna looked at me funny. Grinned. And let it go. Bob.

Anna once asked me to try Asian Royale and report, but I never did, after seeing bad reviews. Just went to Anna's after a long break drew (I think) Siyu. I didn't much enjoy the massage or her personality, and the finish was borderline painful / jackhammer. Won't go to her again, Anna's steered me wrong several times. (And anyone notice Anna's has the least comfortable tables?

This Top 3 Lake County list conversation is hammering home the fact that there doesn't seem to be any excellent places here; only a bunch of "so-so" or "meh" or "will do in a pinch" or "ocasionally good" places.

However, after spending some time in the Indiana and Ohio areas recently, shows me that compared to them, we have it really good.

Its out of the way but got a good tip and when I find something that works I stick with it. However on a recent visit I was told they were moving, so now I have to start a hunt. Any suggestions on a reliable place in or near Libville or Deerfield would be great. Would rather have a shitty massage and a for sure HE. If anyone wants to pm me and get a tip on the Evanston joint and trade for more local that would be great. The Evanston should be around at least for another month is what I was told. I have been three times, and each got a decent massage, and a standard HE no questions asked, and no haggle. Which is quite pleasant. Thanks and good luck fellers.

Been to a place in Evanston a few times. Its a drive but when I find something that works I stick with it. Was just told they are closing in a month or little more. So I'm on the hunt for something local. Anyone have reliable place in or near Libertyville or Deerfield? I'd prefer a bad massage and guarantee a HE. Both would be nice, but if I had to choose. Anyways. I can give you the tip on the Evanston place for a trade. Every time I went I got a decent massage and a standard HE with zero questions and zero haggle. Pleasant enough. Thanks and good luck.

On that note, can I just say how much I miss Miches?

I can't remember exactly, but a couple months back someone said some girls from Miches are now at another place. Further NW I think. Bob.

Capt. That exact topic is covered just a few posts down. Why don't you read? Bob.
