Ditto
[QUOTE=Jvaldez;3499103]I set up an appointment due to everytime I pass they are always closed. Lights were off made the call and set up the appointment. She said her name was Mary. Decent massage. Self serve. Bummer. I might go back to try Amy.
Place is very hidden.[/QUOTE]Stopped by and got Mary. Only offered self service but did a pretty decent massage. Very friendly and sweet. May be worth the return just for the massage.

Truth in advertising?
Just came across this and thought it was funny [URL]http://www.massagechinese.com/plainfield-chinese-massage.html.[/URL] Links to exotic massage and hand job right at the top of the page. Clicking on them goes to a site to buy the videos, and based on the pictures look at best like generic massage porn. first link glitchy, this works and shows all their locations http://www.massagechinese.com/spa.html

Q spa 75th
Q spa on 75th in wood. Still a legit massage even after a few visits. This was my last time there. The massages are great but not what I'm looking for long term. On the plus side there is a Mexican restaurant in the same lot that I usually go to after the massage.

Fox's Pub
Had a little time to waste so ran by Fox's Pub. Around the corner had a good massage with standard finish, got a little excited & got her and the eye. .6 to door .4 tip Masseuse was nothing special Asian 40 ish some extra weight, but it worked.

YouR Massage
Went back again, got Linda this time. Middle aged as well but good attitude. Signage was inside so it should be going up shortly so it will be easier to spot from the street. Standard finish again with OTC roaming. Word of advice to help ease your masseuse into bring comfortable. Learn a little bit of the language, just the formalities and cordials. It goes a long way when you can speak a little bit of Chinese or Korean, especially with the girls who speak little to almost no English. Linda's English was almost non-existent but she instantly brightened up when I spoke a little Chinese.

Man was I wrong. This was one of the all time worst. I should have walked out when I saw my MT, Lisa. Not even remotely attractive to me and I usually don't care as much as some. She dumped so much oil on me from now on her Delta Tau Chi name is "Valdez". The Tin Man would love her. Terrible massage, barely got her to finish me and the whole time she looked away and it was all mechanical. Took me 20 minutes in the shower when I got back to get the first layer of oil off. She wears some sad glasses so if you go there and see her, turn and go the other way. I wish I could remember the MT I had last time, she was great!

Fox's? Joliet?
I'm familiar with Fox's pizza but only know of locations in orland and mokena?
The one in orland has a place that could be considered "around the corner" but the one in mokena?
If you tell me the one in orland then yeah, I have a good idea what place you're talking about. Could you please clarify which foxs?

Could be nice if they cleaned it better, was a funky smell in the bathroom. Ended up with Lulu, late 20's who gave a very nice strong massage with standard finish. Then she went back to the massage for the entire hour, which was a plus. Unfortunately she refolded the towel for the next guy, so I probably won't be back because of that alone. Driving home saw the sign was on for YR, so it might be a call before you go spot to make sure it's open.

Yea, I spa is a dump. Definite funky smell.

Lily's Massage
Saw a sign last week, and noticed the ad the other day so thought I'd stop by. [URL]http://chicago.backpage.com/TherapeuticMassage/lily-massage-in-joliet-grand-open/77607517[/URL].
Extra $10 for the table shower. Had Mary for my mt and she was not impressive. Seemed very confused in the ts, and left twice to go talk with the other mt. Massage was actually pretty good, and there was a little light touch teasing on the inner thighs, but when the flip came she was very standoffish. Got a '2 minutes left' and when they were up she just walked out. Maybe worth it with another provider, but not with Mary.

Little Effort?
I've only been in this hobby a couple years but think I'm getting bored already. I stopped by YR the other day and the therapist was sitting on the couch talking on the phone. She looked like she just pulled herself out of bed. Big baggy pajama pants, baggy sweatshirt, hair pulled back. I asked how much and she was very uninterested. Very disappointing. Many therapist at this and other locations don't really act like they want to be there and don't do anything to encourage (at least me) to stay or come back. I don't expect overly provacative clothes but figured they'd want to look a little attractive or inviting. I'm very conscious about being friendly and respectful so they feel comfortable. Am I expecting too much?

SSDD with these places and workers especially in the burbs. The AMP scene remains on the downturn and who knows when it will get better. I don't think your expecting too much.

Re-evaluate
Maybe we are not expecting too much, maybe we are paying too much. Let them work for it and they will be more anxious when the money is not in excess.
