Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Dh1610;2147478]I think you are jumping to conclusions a little too quickly. Jenna has been around and she will get things sorted out. She knows what the issues are. It isn't as busy as you are assuming. Believe me she has had days in just the past week or so with on a couple of people and the phone quiet. Sometimes it just all comes at once and she like all the rest need to decide what is more important in the long run to their business. She is in it for the long term and she will figure things out soon enough.[/QUOTE]I talked to the owner of Zen yesterday. They had a couple of very busy days coupled with the usual childish drama with the employees. I was being told about these incidents before I could even ask. Give Zen another shot. Turning your back on this place means walking away from one of the best overall providers around.

I've said it before. I have no financial stake in Zen of any kind. I'm just a fan.

I was given similar treatment at Zen. Had an appointment (first time) and arrived to find Jenna working alone and busy with a client. Waited 15 minutes. To her credit, she gave me extra time and was very sweet and I enjoyed my time enough not to write her off yet.

Step one for her is to remove the silly "walk ins welcome" from her ad and require appointments. That's just an invitation for interruptions. Second is to find some way to handle phone calls. I get the challenge of staffing for unknown customer load but the appointment bit would help that too.

She suggested mornings are very slow for her so I'll try that next.

So I have been a regular at Zen for a while now, art the old location, when she was in Wilmington, and now at the new-old location. Sorry, but I'm done. Despite being on a first name basis, enjoying a great massage, the phone and the door interrupted todays session 9 times, including during the grande finale.

She was apologetic each time, but then the fon would ring again and a repeat of the 5 minutes of "Birrica road". Yes "we open til 8". Yes "birrica road".

Same conversation, same duration, every time. Finally she started just lightly making circles on my back while she tried to talk on the phone.

I never complained, saying only "no problem" each time. And then Claire came in and they chatted.

I'm done. No mas, can't take it. It's not a session, its a series of distractions and apologies. Because I know and like her I smiled and tipped and left.

I was there early. I should not have to consider offering extra for her to not asnwer the fon during our session.

And if there are any, I will not tip and never go back. There's no excuse for this sort of treatment. I hate the half-hearted, one-handed massage while they chat on the phone. You pay for service and attention and that's exactly what you should get; their full, undivided attention.

Granted there is no grand finale, but I'll take that over the nonsense you guys are describing. I've been there a few time as of late to ease a muscle / nerve pinch and it's almost like magic. Of course, if anyone knows if / how there's happiness to be had, I'm all ears and would buy a yearly membership.

A few months ago I read a post indicating that YMMV but my mileage never has. There's another place in Tewks that's opened up recently (at least I just started seeing their ads). It's 1098 Main. Typical fair but if you want a change of scenery might be worth a shot. I'll be back.

I was appreciative that she didn't have me waste my time driving over just to find out they were busy. For that alone, I'll go and see them. Perhaps we could arrange a business meeting between this lady and Jenna.

Drew "Judy".

English: 9.

Looks: 7 - On the AMP scale she was a 9+ but unremarkable if you saw her on the street.

Skills: 5 Massage was rough, lots of friction, not enough oil or something... but she tried, even said she goes to massage school for her license (she was serious about this I think).

Ending: 10 - She worked for it, even put the glove on and went deep when things werent coming along (was my 2nd pop of the day).

Location: 5 - The place is a little conspicuous, and yet interestingly camoflaged at the same. I get the feeling there are no further options than HE.

FOR THE RECORD: The phone did not ring once when I was there :-)

As an aside note, I was over at Salisbury Beach and had a few (expensive) Allagash White Ale's at "Tens Showclub" The talent on a Monday night was amazing.The hottest girl in there was almost a 10, and the other girls were solid 8. 5+. Girls were friendly, place was clean, there were few patrons so my dollar bill's went quickly. If you are looking to watch gorgeous babes dance, this is the place to go. Plus there is plenty of good pizza on the little beach strip.

Went a last week asked for Clair, Jenna told me she was fired for stealing. Not sure I believe it, she was great. I think she got to popular. Went with another girl, ok massage except for when she farted. Total turn off. Ruined the mood And massage. Tried again a few days ago drew Anna. Mediocre massage, no tease, uninspired finish, shorted 15 min. Time for a new spot.

So I see 1098 is a possibility, but is there another above-average looking and playful AMP around any more? Lowell area up to south nh area, I'm willing to do. Don't need FS, I do the May thing for that. Aqua was kinda boring last time, Tao was worse, zen is off my list, royal in lowell sounds like a train station. I'm leaning toward chloe, but would prefer asian this time.

She's off my list. Rather the fon ring than flat out get ejected 20 min in because another customer asked for her.

Sounds like I got a story to tell you about where I was today.
