I'm always interested in new experiences with new providers. Sometimes the simple stuff is just as enjoyable as the crazy stuff. And in most cases, my crazy experiences are with those who started in the way that was described. Take a little time and effort, and you get far more than you bargained for.

[QUOTE=LongRanger99;3121204]I was not able to locate or verify a 'Wellness' across street from CVS on Pulaski. ?Are you sure?[/QUOTE]Verified.
Too close to home for me to be a regular, but great experience on a first visit.
[QUOTE=LongRanger99;3120340]Okay it appears others are having the same encounter as me. I went there about three to four weeks ago 3 times during one week. I was told busy each time. I was recommended to go there awhile back so I wanted to give them a try.
I was also trying to find out if the trouble is worth the trip and / or multiple trips.[/QUOTE]I drive past there all the time. Sign used to be on during business hours no matter what. Now, I'm guessing it's on when there's nobody in there. I've read there's only one girl working / owning.

It's actually on Milwaukee. Nice place, and girls.

How many places have lotion available these days? I honestly hate oil massages. I hate having to drive home feeling oily. That stuff gets everywhere too. And even table showers don't get it off and besides I, like most here, prefer the ts beforehand. Biotin lotion, on the other hand, does the job just as well, is good for your skin, and comes completely off with a hot towel. A lot of times you don't even really need the towel. But you will rarely find it available and AMP's never have it.

That way my body isn't covered with oil or anything that might have a scent, and the only place I usually end up getting anything on me is when she puts oil / lotion on her hand for the 'hand shake'. They'll usually offer you a hot towel to clean up afterwards anyway, and there's not a lot of oil / lotion to clean off. Besides, I like to feel their hands on me, not sliding all over me covered in something slick.
Hey guys will be in town this weekend for the series, looking for good Asian AMP.
Near O'Hare airport or even a trusted provider. Inbox me please, any info appreciated!

A place I like is Magic 88 on Irving, partly because they use a non-oily cream and they also have a really nice shower.
And more.
[QUOTE=Jcon51;3122876]Michelle on Diversey continues to be a good bet. Tip well and a nice, slow road to happiness is yours.[/QUOTE]Which place on Diversey?
Any place that is serious about massage should have both. But you might need to ask for it.

I usually ask for baby powder and some have it and some do not.
Yeah I just took a look. That stuff is pretty expensive. Twice as expensive as ordinary lotion and 4 x as expensive as oil. I like the Bon Vitale Massage Lotion, as it is unscented and water dispersible. Still, I usually take a shower afterwards.

Bob, if you buy a bit more expensive (hopefully better) lotion, it may be good to use rather than the crap a lot of places use. I like the Biotin idea.

Clients and therapists could have allergies to different oils or lotions. Aroma therapy is not for every guy. The better product can be washed off or even wiped off easily. Or at least clients will feel greasy.
Bottom line: do NOT buy (and leave) a gallon of Kirkland extra virgin olive oil and leave the bottle in the room, hallway, or work area for people to see. I remembered seeing that from one of my AMP session almost three years ago, can't remember it's the spa on Halsted around Randolph or the one on Diversity near Mini Cooper dealership or the one on Clyburn near the six corner of Fullerton. It was a good massage, but I can't help feeling being grilled and it's so difficult to wash it off.

I agree. One unhappy customer is far more expensive than the cost of oil / lotion. I never dreamed six months ago I would be researching massage oils and lotions. We get both the lotions and oils from professional distributors. Both are odorless and easy to wash away with water. Cost is about $35 per gallon, which is minor compared to the price of the massage. The Biotin was $62 per gallon, but it's definitely something to consider.

Parking is hard to find because it's around Randolph restaurants. Service is normal, $ 2 for the normal ending. Nothing new, nothing bad, would definitely recommend if you just want a normal experience. I asked about FS (in Chinese too) but they weren't really down so I don't think you can get FS there. YMMV.

If you want something legit and try to see if girls are willing to offer extra menu, this place on Dearborn has been there for a few years.
Rates: $100/ hr $150/90 min.
The punch line is Selling Skills. NOT thrills!
Therapists are young American girls, massage quality is very decent. But I did not have any success in extras. Just FYI.

I need a little help here. This weather and some other activities has left my back, neck and shoulders stiffer and more sore than normal. I'm looking for the best actual massage in the Chicago or Near West Suburb area. Can anybody give me any suggestions. Extras not required, but I wouldn't mind.

Was looking for a LMP or at least for a Latina mt for a while, but did not find anything better or original than AOL.
(BTW, please pm with any recommendations.).
Whent there on a week day around noon.
Was greeted by a nice looking Latina (She immediately informed me that only a half hour session for 50, is available.
She was an actual mp.
During the process, that I refrain from calling a massage, she barely touched my back, with "0" teasing. On a flip she present her menu:
He - 50, tl - 50, fn -50. I picked all three, so the total damage was $$ for 30 min, he, fn.
Unlimited roaming, but very mechanical, extremely fast hand shake.
At the end she offered her phone number and suggested that the next time I might get "more. " I did not ask what that "more" will be, did not take her number, just payed remaining balance, and left.
She seemed happier than me.
No plans for return.
Near as I can tell, from the way AMPs and lmps keep popping up, there's no shortage of clients. These providers have a great business plan, they give service that's less sexy than doing it yourself with an AARP magazine, and new guys never stop trying them out. Funny thing is what they don't realize. If they gave great service, they'd be treated by the clients better. That feeling of being held in admiration and respect by one's clients turns a "gawd, get me outer here" kind of job into one a provider would want to stay till retirement. Just sayin'.
Based on recent reviews her I decided to give this place a shot. Got there, got buzzed in by mms, she asked me who I was, told her, she says "oh, you call me earlier. " Yes, yes I did.
I drew Amy, who was cute but skinny. Paid the. 8 door fee, got into the towel and sandals and headed to the TS. Popped my TS cherry here, got to say I liked it, got a good wash down with plenty of teasing. After that, the session "augured in" as test pilots say.
Back in the room I was dried off with some play, then got face down on the table. She covered me then left me on ice for about 3-4 long minutes. She came back in and started a rather lame massage, the "press on the muscles because they're not here for the massage. " Crap, I really did need a good massage. Then the bell rang and she disappeared again. OK, where's the MMS answering the door? After 5 minutes she comes back in smiling and apologizing. We're about 20 minutes in at this point. Then she hopped onto the table with me, stradling me and teasing from behind. Negotiations started, and I settled for basic service. Immediate flip, decent technique, and I was cleaned up and dressed within 10.
I look at my phone and see the time. I look right at her and say "That's the quickest hour I've ever had. " And of course she forgets to speak english right at that moment and just smiles. I left standard tip. On my way out I say to no one in particular "Well that sucked. ".
When I got outside I realized why I got hurried out. A nice big ass E or S class parked right next to the door. If it was one of you that got me hustled out, nice sled. Hope you had a better time than I did.
In other words, decent looking girl, overall crappy time. This is typical Korean AMP stuff, unfortunately.

The ones that don't realize it and the numbers increase weekly never will because of the ridiculous amount of money thrown at them. The other side of the coin is they have to deal with a lot of dolts so I'm sure that puts them in a bad mood too.

I was interested in Beijing Massage because of referral from a Senior Member. It was a while back but this person also recommended Linda Spa which is just north or Irving Park and Western. I had a great time at Linda Spa. Senior Member also recommended Beijing Massage so I at least wanted to give place a try. Me enthusiasm was declining because of the difficulty of getting an appointment. Okay decided to listen to this Non Senior member and try H-Wellness. What a mistake. Totally In-Efficient. I wasted time and money. This massage parlor was totally Straight A. If I wanted Straight A then I could have went to a parlor near my home instead of wasting 30 miles of travel.
In the future if someone is going to give me information then I want Correct Monger information.
Yeah this is NOT the place if you want an actual massage or even an hour's worth. Even if there wasn't anyone on deck they hustle you out.

The girl was good, and I didn't get shorted the time, but I FELT like I was shorted because she would leave for minutes at a time.
Went there last evening. No doorbell so I walked right in. Greeted by MMS. Got the hour for $70 ($4 credit card fee) and was told that the massage would be only for 45 minutes, but ended being an hour. Taken to the room and waited. A younger girl came in who was in about her 30's. The door was open pretty much the entire time. She was having a conversation with MMS for about 10 minutes. I was face down and felt a little awkward, but didn't say anything. Then I hear the doorbell and another enthusiast walks in. My door is still open as he is ushered in. The massage was mediocre, but the finish was great. Ended asking to give her a dental examination with my friend for 80. She was really into it and let the puppies out. I probably won't repeat because of the setup and overall damage.
