Massage Parlor Reports (Formerly Pine)

They have a couple other locations in the west burbs. I went to the location in Naperville a handful of times. No play zone, just a good legit massage.

[QUOTE=Yeouch;3374335]Have always wondered about this place, and close to work, so TOFTT to see how "new renovation and young girls" was working out.

Pleasantly surprised by the size of the place. Probably 4-6 rooms, clean and full doors in nice rooms. MT was on the young side, with incredible massage skills. I was happy with the experience and had no idea if extras. Didn't push it on the flip other than a few touches of mr large, but didn't ask. Saw an older, but attractive MT on the way out.

Anyway. Wonder if anyone has been there and gotten extras? PM or reply. I'll be going back for another visit based on massage alone, and will push the issues further if I don't hear from anyone and report back.

NOTE - ReadyforRub reviewed under "craigslist" section and had similar experience with no happy....[/QUOTE]

Walked into the Vernon Hills location not too long ago. It did not look very.

Nice inside. Really strong smell of Chinese food. Walked out. If you want a legit.

Massage go to Bob's which is fairly close.

[QUOTE=E2304;3377116]Mei has skills.[/QUOTE]I had a massage from Mei Saturday evening. She may be rather small, but she does give a good hard massage. I like the fact that she does not use oil, but a lotion instead. It seems to be an unscented lotion. I totally enjoyed the massage and the fact I didn't have to get rid any lingering smell of oil. She is totally legit, and a great MT.

Tried out Mei and Alice (and both were excellent legit massages!

Noticed this week driving by, gems lights been out. And a plastic bag taped to the front window for a mailbox? No huge loss here, just sayin.

But damn, most of the places in our area are wiped out within half a year, sucks! Anna's 3 locations, Fantastic gone, Sunset Gone, Green Bay Chinese, gone. Etc etc. It doesn't make people not go anymore, it just means we spend our money in other towns.

A lot of the Chicago-based talent for these types of stores has moved out of state. I understand that people still in the business are substantially more careful now and only offer extras to trusted friends. One strategy you might employ is to get to know individual therapists. Get contact information and build a track record and trust. Then if your friend leaves a store you can go to her new location. The other interesting thing. Many therapists have decided to go legit. They hate the loss of income, but they are happier to provide conventional massage. Nowadays, the stress level is pretty high. So if you go into a shop understanding all these things, just be low key, low pressure, relaxed and friendly. You kindness will pay off over time.

[QUOTE=BackDoc;3363167]Took a chance on a new place I saw advertised in Wauconda. [URL]https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/thp/6100813260.html[/URL] I was pressed for time, so I opted for the $45 half hour. Paid, she left and returned to me naked / no towel (got to give that sign early). She did sort of cover me, but not very aggressively. Worked the massage, then some nice teasing, flip and a very nice handshake. 40 tip, and out the door. No negotiation needed. She was Korean (I think) 30's, decent shape. Did not push for any access of her, was really just interested in a decent massage and a handshake. I will be back.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the tip. I followed up on it last week. Throughly enjoyed the experience. 30 min. Drive from Waukegan but highly recommended.

Sorry boys. I know heaven is one of the last bastions of massage for those of us in the area. When Anna's closed it immediately took over the top spot in my rankings. Bella and Cici (have been steady and excellent providers of quality and enjoyable services. I hope they're ok because what I got today I can't go back to.

Didn't get a name. She didn't talk. But can be identified by the mustache she's sporting. I don't mean to be rude but there's no other way to say that. And shouldn't the other gals give her a tip on that?

Likely just new and not trained yet. But received the most mundane and uninspired massage. Where they just pick a random spot and do circles? Then did flip without a wet towel down. Ok. She'll do that later (not). HE had similar inpriration as the back rub. But it's been a while so it worked.

She went to get hot towel and returned w a small washcloth. Clean up was most enjoyable part. Then left!

Ok? So wiped oil off back and legs w dry towel and gave usual tip and will once again hope Anna or her sister or even a distant cousin opens up the business again soon!

Hopefully just a bad visit because she's new. But would expect a little apprenticeship training?

Stopped in this afternoon for an hour's session (. 65), and got maybe 45 minutes. She was put off with. 40 I left for a mediocre HJ. I reminded her the going rate is. 40/ HJ, . 60/ Daty, . 80/ BJ, and 100/ FS, and was met with an ugly scowl. Won't bother going back.

Sadly another one may have bitten the dust: [URL]https://www.facebook.com/LakeCoILSheriff/photos/a.470015166391251.111954.403469649712470/1407713712621387/?type=3[/URL].

Got to give credit to the whiz who came up with the "human trafficking" umbrella to put on all their vice work. Who could possibly be against that? Of course the crusaders who proudly cheer for their work in eradicating it fail to connect the dots on WHY would they be arresting a supposed victim <? DUH!

I stopped in at the place on 52nd in Kenosha during a trip to milwaukee. It was fine, standard tip of $100.
