Diversey And Harlem?
[QUOTE=XabiAlonso;2375087]I figure I would write this one up since I don't have any recent experiences to report. You may already know about this one. On Harlem Ave, near the white castle on Diversey (a block or two away), is a Polish hair salon. If you walk by the front of the business you will see the place is completely empty. In order to get into this exlusive place you need to make the appointment ahead of time. If you were to try to call the number of the place listed on the window, the person who answered would possibly say its the wrong number. But if you continue to ask about massage, the lady eventually gives you the phone number to call. What was odd about this place is that it's been in business for years, advertises as a hair salon without any stylists nor chairs nor sinks, nothing. The immediate inside was just a chair and a long hallway. The long hallway leads to one massage room. The masseuse was Polish and is definitely past 48 years old. She was thin and most likely was very pretty in her 20's and 30's. She was a very nice lady and made sure you were relaxed. It's not that I am recommending this place. But there are possibly members on this site who might live nearby or prefer older European lady. Her English speaking was ok. I am actually referring to whether it was easy to understand her. It was but its not like she would talk and talk forever. It was a cash only place and 90 minutes was 90 dollars. No tip was necessary because I think she was the owner.

I agree. I think that more will overpay than not. It is sad, because this could be a really great place if this wasn't happening. It kind of reminded me of some of the american places that were around 20 years ago, like Sunset, or the one on Ogden near Cass.
[QUOTE=DMichaels69;2424478]This is total BS. The sad part is they are able to do it because some will over pay. I'm seeing this at AMPs more now too. This is why I am now going places I've been before where this does not happen and the ladies actually appreciate a tip.[/QUOTE]

What the hell happened to them? I used to see Candy at Topps and a bunch of gals at Touch of Class with those white lab coats. Taylor gave great massages. Nowadays everything is either a clip joint or pulling some bs like mentioned below.

Will avoid at all costs
Gooch,
Thanks so much for the report back. I will definitely not be partaking at this MP and also warned others on the Roselle board. This was very disappointing to hear.
[QUOTE=Gooch;2424033]Anyone planning on going to Electrospa should be aware of a neat little game they are playing. The discussion of extras does not start until your time is up. So not only will you be asked for a very high upcharge, you will also be asked to pay for another 30 minutes as well. I tried sticking to my guns and was denied, and told "Next time you know how much money to bring". Others who have been there, feel free to PM me to compare notes.[/QUOTE]

She's Asian and her name is Holly. Total Hustler and a perfect product from the Lake St. (630) area. Read about her in the Il / Other section. McHenry Cnty thread. Starts at #550.

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and trying this place. Is it worth it? I'm hoping they let me in because I'm African-American. I hear some European MP's won't even allow entry to African-Americans. Is that true?

EMP info
This points to an agency advertises frequently on BP's bodyrub page. $ . 6 for HE or BJ (YMMV) provided by euro gals.

From what I've gathered, you're more likely to encounter difficulty entering a LMP than an EMP, but once in, more likely to have trouble getting the service you'd like from an EMP.
But hey, you won't know until you try. Mileage varies! Good luck!

EMP or EMT suggestions?
I am tiring of the AMP scene and cannot make it out towards Rockford as often as I would like. Libertyville is a great location for me, but looking for something new.
I have seen a nice blonde european woman from a condo in Schaumburg a few times who does a nice massage and simple, but well executed sensual ending. I can share a link, but she recently moved from Bodyrub to Theraputic pages and removed her pic, so I would rather do it through PM.
If anyone has any leads on where I could head or who I could reach out to it would be great. I am not looking for FS, my preference is a clean, safe North or Northwest location with a woman with a healthy top.

Even then I'd be leery of expecting a good massage. Anything near Lake street or North Avenue just seems like a rip off joint.

This is your typical EMP setup, I got both of the girls naked and left satisfied.

Thanks
Thank you to all who PM'ed me. I believe I replied to everyone. If I find anything worth sharing, I will.
Also, a lot of mentions of GH's. Can someone share with me the pricing structure there?

To clarify. I tried Electrospa based on a review posted here by a trusted senior member that I have shared private info with. So I would not necessarily classify this as a "clip joint" at this point. It is still YMMV in my opinion. I didn't initially share all the details of my session, but lets just say that the girl crossed the line and gave me a little sample of what she could do for me. The upsell came at the point where I wanted her to continue. I believe there is fun to be had here, depending on who you get, but I think their greediness needs to be put in check.

I appreciate all of your reviews. I just meant to say that, for me, this place needed glowing reviews to get me even remotely thinking about it because of the prior history of other places near there that are clip joints. Everyone is different though in the places they want to try and who they want to see- all of which helps to contribute to this board. I'm glad to hear that you had a good time minus the upsell. After hearing that, however, combined with some unexpected bills, I decided just to skip it- at least for the near term.

Hey Kellster, no offense taken from your post at all. I get what you are saying. Most of us have some sort of budget, myself included. We all need to be smart with our mongering dollars. I do see potential in Electro, and my hope is / was that other mongers may have had a different experience there. One monger had a better experience than I, and I have not heard any other reviews, either negative or positive, which really makes me feel unoptimistic about this forum. Here we have a potentially good American mp, which is rare around here, and nobody seems to have an interest in either pursuing it or, if necessary, cultivating it. If some of us work together and compare notes, we can cut maybe cut the games and get down to business. For me, that is an investment I am willing to make. If I were tighter on cash, I may feel differently. But I'm sure there are other mongers who are not so tight on cash, who would like to see another Sunset Spa, or another Spa 38, and I am surprised by the lack of interest. I will most likely be going again and trying someone different before I give up on the place.
