Classic Massage (was Green Massage Parham Patterson)
This is the same place, same # and same management, I think, as before. I don't know why they changed the name. (Not the same management as a long time ago, I think the 2ND management, their 10TH provider.) This place has one big advantage that has already made me a regular and I won't care who the provider is. (I don't know the name of the current provider, I asked her name and she said "I'm Beautiful". OK, Beautiful, thanks for the great massage.) Anyway, my barber is only taking appointments now. That's great! Instead of going there and having to wait 30 minutes looking at 5-year-old mags, I text him the day before, drive right over, in & out in no time -perfect. You know how you'll set an appointment up with an AMP and they (always) say "no problem, we be here". I'll call them to say I want an appointment at 4 PM and then another monger comes in at 3:45 PM for 30 minutes and then they make me wait when I get there at 3:55 PM. I hate that!
This place is actually only taking appointments and no walk-ins -like my barber! (Or dentist, but I always have to wait there -go figure.) I called and asked for 4 PM, showed up at 3:55 PM and started right at 4 PM finished massage at 3:50 PM. (That's OK, just like my psychologist.) I was out at 5:05 P. So, it looks like the provider isn't scheduling wall-to-wall; I haven't passed anyone in the hall-way yet. Also, with a single provider I've always got the notion of someone opening the door during the massage -not at this place. Great!
The provider is 35+, limited English but better than most. (I'm getting tired of the ones that have NO English -gets to be a pain.) Massage is a B+. Not as good as 'Mae' who worked there many moons ago, but certainly better than everyone since. And, the most important aspect: yes, no problem. I always try to be pleasant with these ladies; they have to put up with a lot of a-holes. (I don't know what was the issue with the provider from Kelly at Merchants Walk.) I came in with a smile and left with one. On time, no interruptions, full 50-minute hour, better than limited English, pleasant provider -my type of place. Just call the day before or the morning of. And, I'm sure, YMMV.
Patterson Authentic massage
Can you guys recall the looks of Stacy and what options are in the Menu on Patterson ave AMP? I am planning a visit and definitely will put my feedback. This is my first visit of AMP, and would like to know what to expect. Is 40/60 still a standard? Thanks.
