[QUOTE=Ayasaki;7613212]Thanks for the report. Lots of new launches this month and they're all spread out but they all mostly seem decent. Nice to get an eye on them anyway to confirm level of service.[/QUOTE]Yea no worries. The challenge that I forgot to mention is parking could be an issue and there is construction going.
Are the reviews on RMaps accurate? I love T but have been wanting to try PB but the reviews on here aren't great. RMaps reviews paint a nice picture though.

If you see a review and the person doesn't hide their profile it is much more likely to be accurate. Much like my huge disappointment in S spa. Decided to try it even though I assumed it was too good to be true since no one here had mentioned it in a long time. Look forward to seeing some of your reviews.

But Nashville itself? I've seen it manipulated a few times. I left a review for Q Spa way back, then at some point someone changed the information of it to A Spa while A Spa was active. So my favorable review for Q got associated with A Spa. So I left a bad review I sat on for A Spa (the one with Alice) to counter them basically getting a good review for no reason, then that led someone to complaining that my review was fake because I said I didn't know about a table shower in the newer review for A Spa, but not the old one (because it was Q Spa). A Spa didn't even [B]exist in 2024[/B] when my review was left. And you're not allowed to comment on your own review if you're not premium, so that accusation stood because why am I going to pay to correct some dude and the photo opportunities for free premium weren't all that frequent.
But even ignoring that, the reviews are for a person and a place. But like if there aren't enough reviews or people don't go back, you lose visibility. Q Spa fell off a long time ago for me despite liking it in the past, why would I keep going back when I can try a newer spot I like? And over reviewing looks just as suspicious. As many times as I went to HFS, I think it would have looked bad to make like 10 reviews for them. But here I can just drop a comment like an update or reply to someone. Both sites do have a purpose I just don't find RM useful for us anymore.

The reviews here are few and far between and I live over an hour away.
[QUOTE=TallStrong33;7614755]I would just like to know if Pure B is any good. Haha. The reviews here are few and far between and I live over an hour away.[/QUOTE]And that's an understandable request. But if the reviews here are far in between, that's largely because they've kinda gone overboard launching places.
There have been four locations that dropped this month. I've reviewed the spa on Gladstone. Stim69 reviewed Bamboo. I've received a PM report of a third one that I'm not disclosing because they know how to post if they wanted it out there. And one more remains unreviewed.
Pure Bliss has been reviewed as Water and Cloud Spa because they changed their name for whatever reason. Nothing I've read makes them seem like a bad place, but also nothing I feel like going to verify. You are free to go visit yourself or trust the RM reviews. Most of the locations are honestly replaceable now with T Spa likely standing above all of them. I had fun trying to visit them all when it was just HFS and a few, but we're talking about like 15 active locations at this point. No new location, except T, has really inspired people to become a fan like it was some months ago. And sometimes that's because of following a girl around, like when Apple was here recently, I saw her at 3 different spas. Is that indicative of those spas or her as an individual? I can't tell you because I never went back after she left each one of them haha.
I get that you don't want to waste an hour of your life driving. That's why I refuse Clarksville as long as I have options here. But if you don't want to TOFTT it's best to just stay with T Spa.

I'm usually in Clarksville when it comes to massages but our good one just closed. So can someone help me decode the ones around here. I've tracked down SB and T. I'm usually east Nash, airport or even Hendersonville area. PMs would be fine too.

[QUOTE=VanillaStick;7615141]Which one closes? I was going to a few there I hope it wasn't 1 of 2 of them.[/QUOTE]Zen is closed. That's the only one I go to in Clarksville. I think there is only 1 other one still open in town. I drive up to Kentucky for the others if I'm in the area.

I don't like the parking, but the service was mixed. Less emphasis on the massage, so you get an overpriced qv for the most part that was my experience. Great lvl 1 service, can't say much about FS as that's not my purview, but they really push you to get boom boom and are quite convincing. Get 30 min if you go. Also I'm not really a fan of houses, but it is easy to tell if they are busy. I don't think TS was on the menu but they offer a standing shower, I passed on that. Always YMMV.

They had great service excellent rate for service.
Did CWC on the west side close? Second weekend I've stopped by in the morning, door's locked. Google says they open at 8 am, but did they change their hours to open later?
I visited the elusive X spa. Googling the address just leaves you in the middle of the road on Nolensville pike but it's actually in a strip mall above the oriental market.
The good first. Love this type of location. Easy parking and pretty well concealed. You head up the stairs and it's got a simple X spa sign above the door with the standard white doorbell out front.
It has a corner spot and currently doesn't have any businesses next door to it. Very discreet. I rang the doorbell and a mid 40's asian woman who was well dressed like professionally, answers the door and leads me to my room. The place is very clean and nice. The linens were clean, rose on the bed, etc. She asks me how much time, I say 30 min and give her 50. I get undressed and decided to drape myself because I'm starting to think this may be a legit place. The woman, Evee, comes back and starts the massage. She says I'm the first customer of the day and it's already mid afternoon. I explain to her the location is a little hard to find. She doesn't understand. Massage proceeds and we chat a little. I'm getting the impression that she is actually the mamasan. She then tells me she's the only person working. The massage is decent. She eventually lowers my towel and begins a slow butt massage. Some light grazing starts to occur and I'm feeling better about my decision. She tells me to flip and I oblige. The door bell rings and she has to excuse herself and apologizes. She comes back and it's down to business. The menu is wide open but the pricing is ridiculous so I have to bring her back down to earth. 200 for a BBBJ, 100 for standard, I just laugh. I say 60 for L1 is the standard around here and she calls me cheap and proceeds to give me an angry HJ. She gives me some water and I'm out the door. It's kinda a similar setup to D but nothing special and if she's the only one, I doubt I'll be back.
