Massage Parlor Reports

"Don't remember 83 bodyworks unless that was the place up the street by Red Lobster, but I do remember West Coast from years and years ago a little further down Oakton down by a strip mall that was torn down. Ahh, the girls in those lab coats. (and out of them.". Bush 43.

Spa 83 Bodyworks, also once known as Acupressure Spa, was in the front of the industrial park on the west side of Rt. 83 just a little south of the Algonquin Road intersection. It was my go-to place off and on for years in the '90s and 2000s, especially after Sooni and GiGi moved there from Exercise when Exercise closed for about a year at the turn of the century. I knew them so well that I'd often get a 4-hands massage at no extra charge. I wonder whatever happened to them.

Well, a vote on the good side. Stopped in here this am. Think I was 1st client of the day. Place is nice and new and friendly. Got the full treatment, and left happy.

Alright, time to get back to posting. After reading the reviews here, I stopped by Yun Spa twice in the last month. This place was big, cozy, and clean. I agree the therapists are on the older side, but they sure do know how to treat their clients. I enjoyed thorough TS, hard-massage, & of course, the finish. If you guys are looking for young therapists, then look elsewhere. YMMV always applies, but I am sticking with this one for now.

I went back to the place on Oakton for my third visit. This visit was a little disappointing. From the start I was just not into the looks of the girl. The room had a little smell to it but I got over it. The table shower was very lame. No attention to the goods and it was quick. I almost felt like she had never done one before. By this time I was hoping for just a nice massage. She did a light massage at my request that was nothing special. On the flip there was no roaming allowed. I tried and she said no. I did leave happy but it was frustrating at the same time. I will go here again but not with the same girl. I wish I would have asked her name but I didn't.

I did try to go to the New Life the other day but when I got there they told me they were closing in 30 minutes so I passed.

Yun is my goto place. The ladies are all well trained and licensed. I always leave there feeling relaxed and refreshed!

Was at YUN recently. I got an older lady, curvy in all the right places, average looking. The table shower was very good. She did a very good job at cleaning all the spots with no issues.

The massage was good, no lotion and got some cracks out of the back. On the flip, I urgraded 1 level from the standard finish and left happy.

The experience would have been better if there was a bit more friendly. She was nice, but very business like. Overall good time, not spectacular. I need a little more mileage as I only have been a couple times.

Been to Yun four times. A different lady each time and always left happy. Two were decent looking with nice extras but massage has yet to be good by any of the four. The last time I went I asked for either of the two favorites and she said they both no longer work there. So I went with the girl who was available. She was north of 50, thin and a little nutty and was by far the worst of my visits. Left happy but overall disappointed in the experience. So I have been recently sticking to EX Spa. Others reviews of Yun suggest I should try again.

They turned into AMP dust after they were shut down a few years ago. IMHO, it was the closet thing in MP that could be compared with Peking Spa. Ah, the good ol days. I am afraid that the recent explosion in the number of AMPs in the Mt. Prospect area will lead to a crackdown again, especially after seeing all of the recent detailed reviews.

[QUOTE=Kda Kodiac;1876445]I have to agree with Jovi69. I went for the hour. My gal gave great massage. No roaming as she was wearing jeans and tie top, Used towels to dry off, hot towel to get rid of oil, etc. Would definitley visit again, may try another for variety.[/QUOTE]I went here last week and had similar experience. I came during the day, but it was quite busy for that hour since another monger went in right after me and another one was waiting outside when I was leaving. Girl was a little bit younger when you usually see in Illinois. Ok massage, standard finish, standard tip. Might be back if nothing better is available.

I've been twice now. I don't see where this place is better than anything else in the area. I still prefer the other options. Just my opinion.

I had not been here in a few months so I thought I would try it again. I've had mixed results as far as the total experience goes.

The last time there was horrible as the girl had a total attitude and lame massage.

This time was ok. Average looking girl, petite, seemed very nice. I opted for the TS this time. That was very good. She gave me a nice medium massage, managed to get several cracks. I was surprised how strong she was. I left happy but too much aggressive tip negotiation soured the experience. I feel this is the norm at this place so if you go keep that in mind. Its happened to me every time but one there.

Been to Yun spa a few times recently. Always been treated fairly if not a little lackluster a couple times. They don't seem to have consistency or maybe.

It's me. I'm sure the adage applies YMMV. How's the competition nearby? I've done a little research by rtff but just wondering. No details unless pm.

Thanks.

I stopped into Yun this past Saturday on my way down to southern IL. There was not any other customers here when I got there. Rang the bell and the woman who answered the door talked to me like I had been there before (I had not). I'm guessing she is the woman that some of the others have talked about. She led me into the room and I started to undress. I had just finished getting my pants off when she came back in and grabbed my junk (in a good way) and told me that the new girl would be taking care of me, that she would do it next time.

I asked the new girl her name, she said Coco very tentatively like she just made it up. I got a nice table shower with all areas cleaned then she put me into the sauna for 5 minutes or so. She got me and led me into the room where she preceded to start the back rub. It was horrible. All she did was press on my muscles. She was probably mid 40's, man made see's and a little belly.

I did leave happy but do not think I would repeat.

$.6 + $.

The original woman was much cuter and it seemed like she had a better body. I have been realizing that I do need a good back rub now and again and I just might be better off sticking with those and a L1 ending.

Sounds like a little lack luster experience.

Does that coded price mean 160+100? If so, for massage and HE only? If so, holly crap.

Why can we not write these numbers out?

I've always felt that the practice on this site of abbreviating numbers like that to be pointless and silly.

What is the point?

Are posters trying to disguise the actual price paid to providers in case LE is reading?

This is pointless for more than one reason.

First, pretty much everybody that reads this board understands what the abbreviations mean, so they really disguise nothing.

Second, even if LE is reading, what difference does it make what the price is? If the act would get someone in trouble with LE, it doesn't matter if the price is 10 bucks or 1000 bucks. So, why bother with trying to disguise the price?

I was always wondering about this too and the Martin Luther King reports.

You are correct.

$60 + $100 for FS.

I was "yelled at" on another board for writing it out once.

I agree with you that it is silly.

The price was the going rate, and yes the service was lack-luster.

I made it to Bloomington a few days later and it was well worth it.

Guess it all is timing, who is there, and how you connect.

Is a massage 60 now at Yun? Always has been 70.

[QUOTE=DMichaels69;1912732]Is a massage 60 now at Yun? Always has been 70.[/QUOTE]When she walked into the room I handed her $60. I had another 10 in that pocket but she never asked for it. Like I wrote, the original lady acted like I had been there before. I walked right in the front door and she took me right back to the room on the left. I never even did see the sign with their pricing.

Same with the tip. I just put out $100 but had another $20 in my other pocket based on what I had read.

I was also in and out of there in $40 minutes so maybe that is why she did not ask for more.

The 40 minutes was on me. I just wanted to finish and get on my way. I was not rushed by her.

I have been anti Yun for a long time. I told myself that I would never go back after some bad massages there about a year ago. After reading some positive reviews I decided to give it another shot a few weeks ago. I saw their ads said new management but figured that was just to lure you in. I get there and the mamasan seemed new but I was not positive since it had been quite a while since my last visit. She leads me to the room and then another girl comes in to collect the money. She was much younger than previous girls and showed some cleavage. Let's just say I was excited.

We go to the table shower which was nothing special and then to the sauna. It was a cold night so I didn't mind warming up. Back to the room and the massage starts. This was probably the second best massage I have had at an AMP. She really worked my back. It was not really hard just even pressure and it seemed she had training (unlike my last visit there). After a while on my back I actually thought that if there were no extras I would still tip her because her technique was so good. On the flip I got something I never had at Yun. It was great and I don't want to publish here. I have been back several times since and will repeat if they keep up the good massages.

Yes, I would say the same. I got a really good massage, very firm, strong hands. The girl I had was laid back and low key but delivered quite well.

I am looking for a Good place what has a EMP. I have done the AMP thing. I would like to find a place in the area that offers the ERO atmosphere.

Seen a lot of ads for sky one, don't see many reviews anyone got any info on it? If not I might just check it out next weekend.

Was up in the area for work last week, so stopped in at Yun after seeing some decent reports here. WELL worth the visit.

I was there mid-afternoon, and ended up seeing one of the older ladies. I think she said her name was "ShaSha" (or something along those lines. Not the best English). She was thicker than most Asian women, and probably mid-40's, but ENORMOUS on top and had a very positive attitude.

She did the normal "you come here before" bit, as I dind't know ANY of them I said no, it's my first time but I go to some others down south. She seemed familiar with Pine at least. She then asked me what kind of girl I like. Younger, older, thin, big top, etc. Funny conversation. We hit it off pretty well, off to the shower & sauna. VERY clean / nice place, definitley one of the better I've been to around Chicago.

The massage itself was AMAZING. She actually knew what she was doing, and after a couple weeks raking leaves and all here, it felt GOOD. She really worked my muscles deep, and as others have said. That alone was worth the price of admission.

Near the end of the massage, she obviously felt comfortable enough to make sure I was very comfortable as well (Seniors PM for more detail). Overall a very good time, I left well massaged, very happy, and determined to go back again (soon!

As we were finishing up, she said they were "getting new girls" on Thursday or Friday. Told me "you come back next week, I have a VERY good girl for you. Young, very thin with big boobies. You have very good fun time" is exactly what she said. I cracked up, but I'll be back. .

So after striking out on multiple providers last night I ended up at Yun.

I was very reluctant as I told myself I would not go back.

She asked if I have been there before. I replied with not for a few months. She asked why? I told her that I had 2 really crappy visits, bad massage by a grandma. She brought another lady into the room, they talked in Chinese and then looked at me and said, we take good care of you. You no worry, new owner, new girls.

Shasha came in and started the massage, she left another lady came in and rubbed some silky smooth lotion all over my backside. Shasha then came back in, dressed differently and gave me an excellent massage. I got the complete hr with no asking for a tip.

I gave $80, she mentioned that new young girls are on the way.

I left very happy. Seniors can pm me.

Went there for the first time, very good massage and that is it. I should stop by Pine instead.

Stopped by today. Located on oakton between 83 and busse. No sign out front. Saw ad on BP and called for address. Looked new. Very busy. A guy waiting when I walked in. Returned in thirty minutes and still had to wait. Once in I opted for 1/2 hour with no shower offered. Left happy for .4. Masseuse was ok. Alittle chunky and little communication. Not what the add portrays on backpage. Their idea of Asian doll is alittle skewed. Anyway. It was ok. A lot of oil and a hot towel.

Stopped at China the other day and it looks like there is all new talent there. I met "Helen" (pronounced Heron) whose English language ability is far surpasssed by her massage skills. I enjoyed the hh light massage for .45.

The ground rules and menu haven't changed so you can expect the same (limited) service, but you will leave happy.

-Vazooli.

I stopped by Yun the other day based on some comments here and some PM's from fellow mongers. I was greeted by a very old mamasan at the door and then passed off to a probably late 40's early 50's busty asian. She was very friendly and spoke very good english. It seemed like she was the only masseuse there, but after 20 minutes I heard another guy come in asking for his young whippersnapper. I asked my masseuse if they had younger girls she said "young girls coming soon". I've read this in a few posts and I think I would probably take this with a grain of salt. Although, she did promise to show me all three the next time I visit, but I would not be surprised if they are "busy" the next time I stop in.

Tried it out today based on previous reviews. Had a nice experience. Table shower, dry spa and massage. .70 door fee + reasonable tip (seniors can PM me for details). My masseuse was "Pink". Early 40's. Thin. Very nice body. Massage was decent. A little on the light side. Left happy. Will repeat.

On the way out, Mamasan pulled me aside and whispered, "You come back again. Younger more beautiful girls next time, okay honey?

I didn't think there was anything wrong with my masseuse. She was very attractive, but oh well, maybe a better girl next time.

Was led to room by younger mamasan. I remembered her and she massaged me before. She asks me for 80 dollar door fee so either the price went up, went up for the day, or they are hurting for business. The next thing she tells me is there is some super model from NY on her way and to ask for her the next time. The next thing she asks me is how much I tipped the last time. I said it depends on the service.

So with that out of the way, in walks "JuJu" as in Ju Ju bees. She has just arrived. She was short, maybe 5 foot 2 , 5 foot 3, I would say in her 40's with a lot of makeup, and nice enhancements. She takes me to the sauna first so she can prepare the TS. The light bulb is out in the sauna so the door is left open a bit. Next thing I know, mamasan and another lady swing the door open and want to change the light bulb.

JuJu comes back and takes me to TS. That was very good, then back to the Sauna once again to dry off. She comes back to sauna to get me and drys whatever was not dry and on to Massage. Massage was 8 out of 10. I like the fact they use no lotion and do a lot of things you would see at the Chiropractors office. They do spend time on the massage.

After the massage, on the way out mamasan comes running up with another girl she says "next time I give you 4 hand for price of regular massage".

So in all there were 3 girls there ready to give massages. That's a pleasant surprise because I've been running into the one girl working and having to go elsewhere deal lately.

I did leave happy but my girl seemed nervous. Maybe because she just started.

Gave Aesthetic another try last week, because I didn't need an asian table shower and certainly didn't want to pay for it. Besides I believe in sharing the wealth. Got Maria, who did as fine a job as ever and was dressed for the season. But I really do wish I had another good Euro option. Anyone want to help me out with that, please PM me. I'll consider it my Christmas and birthday gift. BTW, Aesthetic has moved about 5 times in the last 2 years. They are now at a tiny little office building around Dundee and Arlington Heights Rd. It's OK, but doesn't have its own washroom. First time I went there, they sent me to the address next door to pee.

[QUOTE=SamSpade;1797838]I had a free afternoon early last week and decided to give one of my old reliables a visit, Aesthetic in Buffalo Grove. And right off the bat I want to say that all the ladies at this place have given me great massages over the years and have been pretty accommodating, with limits of course. Maria and Galena (long gone) have been my favorites, but the others were at least cute and friendly. But on this last visit I could see that the pounds have been packed on in all the wrong places. Maybe too much American food and living, or maybe they're just getting lazy and not caring. But if I saw them walking down the street now I wouldn't give them a second look. Aging you have to expect and I can deal with that. But the not the thick.[/QUOTE]

Went to Yun before lunch and saw previously mentioned busty therapist. Had a disappointing experience with her since all session was rushed, even though no one else was there (which pissed me off even more). I was out in 30 minutes including ts and sauna. Very weak massage and mechanical standard finish. Left standard tip. Didn't see any new girls that they had promised. Probably won't return.

Went to SKY 1 , formerly mind and soul. The lady I had was older, 40 to 50 range, a lot of makeup, not bad looking (7 on looks) and not overly friendly. TS was not the best, but not the worst.

I asked for medium pressure massage and she delivered. It was actually very relaxing as the tables are heated.

I left happy but she was very business like.

I may try one more time as I saw another MT wandering around. The whole experience was very typical AMP, nothing outstanding.

My back was actually sore the other day so I thought I would check out Yun. I have not been there in a while and I keep hearing about new girls but no reports. I walk in and the mamasan was different. I thought this could be bad since she was older than the other one but she was still friendly. Then my therapist comes in and my eyes almost popped out. All I saw were her tits. She was wearing the skimpiest outfit that I have ever seen someone wear there. I have seen two other girls in the past so she was new to me. After closer inspection she seemed older than I first thought but her body looked great in that outfit so I didn't care. First stop was the sauna which was nice since it was really cold outside. Then we went to the table shower and then back to the sauna. I didn't mind using this time because it was nice to warm up.

I lie down on the table and almost want to turn over so I can watch her, but my back does need attention so I go face down. She gave a great massage. She really used great pressure and actually knew what she was doing. After a while I turned over and ended very happy. Usually I get up but she says I need more massage and I go back face down. She says my back is still tight so she massages me more. It lasted about 5 more minutes which was fine. Just when I think I won't go back here I get a great massage and look forward to my next visit. In the last few months I have not really had a bad massage here but this one was the best so far. If they ever return to crappy massages like a year ago I won't go back. For the price I paid I could have went to an asian apt but the massages are better at Yun and that is what I wanted.

Went to the spa on Waukegan in MG last week, right after the big snow. I was there last summer and got a good deal. Had the Glove Girl. She wasn't there to begin with, so I had another who started the massage. After 10 minutes, the door opens and the Glove Girl says Hi, Merry Christmas, etc. Then they both start rubbing me. Never had a 4 hand before. They did a good job, even if it was a bit heavy for my taste. I hear the door open and close again, and now I'm all alone with Glove Girl. She gives a good long tease, but nothing that I actually wanted. On the flip, more of the same, so I just tell her I'm ready.

Now for a touchy subject. Previously Glove Girl had done a good job. But this time not so much. She grabs my sack in her left hand, and I feel the nails. Right hand does the usual. It was not at all pleasant, so I tell her to ease up on the "nail" sack. She does so for about 15 seconds, then she's back at it. Got the job done, but it was more a relief than a release. Where do they learn this stuff? I've had girls who could give me seizures of pleasure, and others who could have works for the Nazis, most using a variation of the nail sack technique described above. I hate to say this, but one bad experience can keep me away from a spa for years.
