Massage Parlor Reports

Yes, that is the same crista noted by Chi Guy. Yes, Blueblazer, she looked terrible last time I saw her. She used to do extras. She gave me the bait and switch. I will not give her a break. She can be quite rotten at times. Call on the phone and see for yourself. I spoke with her, reminded her who I was, set up an appointment. When I got there she "claimed" to be too busy to give me the massage herself. Thats when I was handed off to another MT. She sat at her desk the entire hour as its a small office and I could hear everything the entire time. She did nothing. Except lie to me.

[QUOTE=fredspy]It looks to me like she ran afoul of some bureaucratic rule (perhaps she didn't file some paperwork to renew her certification on time). I wouldn't read anything into it. If she had been caught doing something she shouldn't the headline would have been entirely different.

Also, it looks like she is a bit upset about the innuendo here. It is easy for us to forget that providers are people with feelings and families. Perhaps we can cut her some slack.

FS[/QUOTE]I don't consider this piling on. More so it's feedback. I went to her "spa" & the therapist working for her quoted one price & when I went to pay for my waxing & massage she gave me a significantly higher price. I should have said something at the time but I was thinking to myself whatever, I'll pay but I won't be coming back. Either it was some major communication problem or she was figuring she could take advantage of me. I honestly lean toward the latter, she seemed like a smooth operator when it came to such things. YMMV with her, of course.

FS[/QUOTE]For the past few years massage therapists in I'll. Must go to school, pass a state test and have a state license. They are fingerprinted, they have a background check, must provide an SSN, etc. Then, every year, they have to update their training, spend more money, etc. Crista was not licensed per the state's report. I assume that the women that you guys are writing about are also unlicensed or maybe they were grandfathered to the new law because they were in business before the law started. That can explain why you are talking about 40- and 50- somethings, maybe they have their licenses from the old days. If someone is licensed they need to, by law, display their state license where they do massages. Have you seen a license? Usually what you see is a business license from the city, not a massage license. The law says that anyone practicing massage.and it describes what massage consists of- must have a massage license from the state. If someone is practicing without a license they can be fined several hundreds of dollars per occurence, businesses that hire unlicensed therapists can be fined a steep amount for every day they hire unlicensed "professionals". The state can walk into any of the places that are written about here and demand to see licenses for all the massage therapists who are currently in session. They don't, for reasons I do not know, unless someone tells on a place. So, someone must have reported Christa. Maybe a competitor or unhappy client.

Greetings,

I am looking for recommendations in SouthLoop/Chinatown area. I know there are tons out there, but it's been a while since I have visited.

Thanks in advance,

Can any of you fellow mongers help me. I will be traveling to Chicago and was wondering if there are any AMPS in Chicago which are as "friendly" as the ones in Providence, R.I. or Washington, D.C. I appreciate your help and would help any of you traveling to R.I. or D.C.

Did you guys see how many doctors are on the report! It looks like they screw up in one state and than move around and still keep on treating patients.

Kind of scary.

P.S VIP Salon, LOL, knew that was coming, LOL

[QUOTE=Blueblazer]Ah, my biggest all time fantasy...receiving a totally outstanding legit massage from a legit MT, and then at the end suprisingly getting a kick ass HJ too.

I've always wanted to get one at a totally legit place too...like some high end spa or East Bank Club.

Part of the fun is taken away when you end up at some seedy place in Chinatown or on the west side.

I guess a man can dream.[/QUOTE]

It's out there if you spend enough. I was getting a haircut at a very well known establishment and overheard one of the girls saying that their colleague was fired for providing a French lesson to one of her massage clients. Hell, a physical therapist that I used to see told me that she occasionally provided a release to some of her clients. This chick was something else. We ended up going out for drinks after one of my appointments and got completely hammered. I woke up next to her the following morning.

You won't find anything like that in Chicago! Providence is AMP heaven! What area will you be in, or what area can you get to? Maybe we can direct you a little if we know what part of the city you'll have access to.

I will be in the Rosemount area near OHare but can travel on the train to other places. I hear that Relax on Archer might be a friendly place. What are your thoughts. Again many thanks for your help.

Was in DC several times in January. Amazing AMPS. A-fcking-mazing.
you wont find anything like it here. The irony of walking about 2 blocks from the White House into an AMP was great.

Go to chicagoafterdark dot com and look for the listings of Asian places. You will have to call a few of them until you find the ones in the Rosemont area.

In lieu of "friendly" AMPS are there any honest "friendly" escorts that you may suggest in the Rosemount area? Again thanks for your help.

I'll be in Schaumburg next week, did a search but couldn't really come up with anything that sounded good. Looking for AMP (ideally FS) in Schaumburg or between I-355 and I-55. Any suggestions. PLease PM any details so that I can go in looking like I have been there before. With a new place, it is nice to know the lay of the land. -

The irony of walking about 2 blocks from the White House into an AMP was great.[/QUOTE]If you are referring to the AMP across the theater, I lost my AMP cherry there. Never felt so clean and so dirty at the same time. Man do I miss DC. Found out a couple weeks later that this particular AMP was under FBI surveillance, but they were after the congressional types. Found an ATF AMP in Laurel, but also tried other AMPs in DC, and was never disappointed. There were two run latin apartments, but for one them, the only way in was if someone they knew brought you there for intros and coronas. This was at least four years ago, and I have lost all my connections there. Since coming back to Chicago, I have not ventured into any AMP or apartments. I am so tempted, but hesitant of being disappointed. Thanks Happy Gardener for bringing back such fond memories.

Has really changed for those that dont know. I had a great FS time with Sunny this week for the standard $1 fee.

F--- Chinatown for a while with all the new AMPS sprouting up on the No. side and the great service they all have provided me the last couple of weeks, it doesnt make sense for me to frequent the Chinatown Spas I have come to know for the last couple of years.

Between the Chinese Spas and the Korean Spas, there must be close to 20 now in and around the whole No. Side. You dont have drive far to have fun now. That doesnt include the Euros or Apts either.

Confucius is right; there’s more supply on the north side than I can ever recall. It’s time to take advantage of this situation.

I’d stopped going to AMPs because the prices were becoming outrageous and the service was terrible. Places stopped providing table showers, and the layout of the rooms was inadequate. The now-closed Oriental Beauty Spa on Harlem charged me $10 for a freakin’ stand-up, solo shower!

Here’s what I’d like. A $60 one hour massage with a table shower included. That’s one hour as in SIXTY minutes. I once paid for an hour massage at B. D. Massage Spa on Lincoln and they had me out the door in 35 minutes, including the table shower (that I paid extra for! ).

The table shower should be free; after all, it’s more for THEIR benefit than mine. They should want to make sure that I’m as clean as possible, as well as gauging whether I’m LE or not. This point is negotiable; I’m just very partial to table showers. Any kind of shower that is offered should be free, stand-up or table.

The rooms must have closeable doors and walls that come relatively close to the ceiling. At the same B. D. Mentioned above, the walls were a good two feet short of the ceiling, and there were strands of beads in the doorway instead of an actual door. (Should I bother to mention that I did not enjoy myself there? ! LOL) That is ridiculous. I felt like I had more privacy at the long-lamented Oriental Nails on Peterson, which was set up like a MASH unit in the back.

I was used to paying. 6 for HR. After reading this forum, I see that that’s on the high side. I’d always felt I was paying more than I should have. Anyway, with the rise of the Asian apartments, where you can get the works for $. 6, there’s no way we should spend any more than that at a MP.

It’s time for everyone to get together and start driving prices down to a more reasonable level. I don’t mind paying for great service; I DO mind overpaying. WE have the power. There are more options out there than ever, so MPs should be forced to provide better service and more amenities to keep business up. Hold the line!
