Went to visit Zen (chelms) for a second time since they re-opened. Drew Sophia this time around. Short, cute, amazing body. Just like Jenna, the massage was top-notch. It's why I love this place. Left very relaxed and happy. Got the feeling menu will expand with future visits...didn't pursue this time. From other reviews it sounds like there are three girls currently working there. Have not had the pleasure of a massage from Claire yet.
It's been a while since I posted anything but I have still been a little active. Unfortunately I have nothing inspiring to report.
ST. I think this place has slipped over the past months. I went a week or so ago, didn't recognize the girls and the service was just OK.
Zen. I've seen Sophia there, once, and Claire, also once. I went back to see Sophia and got Jenna instead (even though I booked my appointment with Sophia). I booked another appointment with Sophia and got Alice (temp from NY). Again, I made my appointment with Sophia but when I got there found out she wasn't. Hate that.
Reiki Spa seems to have added some staff but the only thing I can report from there is that I was shorted 10 minutes. I've seen all the new girls there and legit seems to be the theme.
Maybe I'm misremembering but things seemed to be a little better about a year ago. I think it might be time for me to hang up my flip flops for a while.
Peace.
At Zen in Chelmsford, do they continue with an actual massage after the flip, or do they go straight to the HE? At Spa Tao they immediately go for the HE, which I find annoying, because it's like getting only half of a massage.

[/QUOTE]I would guess they would do whichever you prefer, but I imagine that would also depend on the tease and the state of things. I don't care either way as long as I get my full time.
Been to SPA TAO twice in the last week. Drew connie each time. Lame massage, ,no HE. Would not go back again.

ST is consistant if nothing else.

Quality of the massage is less than therapeutic but I've always left satisfied. If you didn't opt for the table shower-do so. It's a great way to get to know your masseuse and for her to get to know you and make sure that you're squeaky clean all over.
I can vouch for how excellent the table showers are at ST. I always get one, can't conceive of skipping it. Some of the masseuses do it better than others, but it's never disappointing, and sets the expectation for the massage. And I always get the full hour. As far as massage quality is concerned, they do a great job on my back, never disappointing, and do fix problems. A really good massage continues after the flip, but they go right for the HE. You might say it's kind of a one-sided massage LOL!

I live close to there and have been there many times over the years and it has always been hit or miss.
Zen is much better, claire or alice are great. Jennifer gives great massage but her endings have become too mechanical. The other two new girls are much better.

Peace.[/QUOTE]Looks like Sophia has gone back to NY for doing too much extra curricular activities beyond the standard. Not sure if she is coming back. This was the intel I got when I went there yesterday. Review soon to follow. I do miss her, hopefully she comes back, but not sure if it is going to be the same.

I strongly recommend you do not waste your time on that place that advertises on CL and located on the middlesex turnpike.

The young, chirpy voice on the phone is the best thing about it. First, it's located in an office park, sharing a building with a bunch of businesses. Thanks to the full glass walls, you get to make a VIP entrance (even at 8 pm there were a lot of people working). Second, the place is quite dumpy. The room I got was right next to the entrance door, which meant my gal was answering the door throughout. My gal barely spoke english and evidently had zero (or even negative) massage training. Worst massage I ever got. She was pawing at my back like a dog searching for a bone. The incessant, circular rubbing numbed my skin wherever she focused. I actually told her to switch sides at one point for I couldn't take it anymore. Moreover, some moves were actually uncomfortable, such as rubbing across muscles or across the bones of the hands and feet instead of along them. Ridiculous. Covered by a towel at all times, there was no teasing and no further services despite an obvious visual cue and my asking "are you sure?" when told it was over. As I left, I told her I wasn't tipping because the massage was bad. She got a bit flustered telling me that other people have complimented her. To which I replied that I am amazed they are still in business. She denied having no training at which point I left for her vocabulary was too limited for a reasonable conversation. I didn't get to meet whoever answered the phone.
Note that I didn't argue with her to be a dick, but rather in the hope that she'll either get the training, or that she gets replaced. Perhaps another sucker will benefit at some point. For all of you lucky fellas: stay away.
I have been going to Zen every week for the last four. The first 2 weeks everything was great. Last week was great but I was shorted 20 minutes.
This week as usual service and the girls were very nice. But this time I was shorted 30 minutes! WTF.
They are getting very busy and they tell walks to wait. This is what happen to me.
I do not mind getting short 5 to 10, but 30 tells me to move on.
It's to bad I really like it there.

Call back and ask for Jenna and tell her what happened and express your displeasure. I know her and will tell her about the reports tomorrow. She is a good person and this is not like her. I will reinforce the message tomorrow.
