Great massage and totally legit. With five minutes left, was asked by a young technician if there was anything else I'd like. With an 80 quote for a HE, I didn't bother to counter.
[QUOTE=pdave68;2114623]I gave this place a try this afternoon. The younger girls must have been busy, because I got an older woman, maybe 40 or so. Massage was great for the price, but no hint of extras to be found.[/QUOTE].
[QUOTE=Seldon69;2118190]I tried at the new girl, Blue, at Michs. What a waste. HJ was cold and impersonal. Wanted 80 to take her top off, and the menu got worse after that. Going to stick with the fashion shows on Mannheim and the glory that is the Philly AMP scene for awhile.[/QUOTE]I had a similar experience and got up from the table and reached for my clothes. Girl became very worried and offered to get me a different masseuse who was much more reasonable and prettier too (Candy). Don't put up with ridiculous prices, some of the girls get greedy and try to hustle big bucks.
For what its worth, I think there is a world of difference between the Korean places and the Chinese places. The Koreans are definitely more expensive, like $80 door fee these days and much more about upsell and blowing you out the door (sorry for the pun) in 1/2 hour. More oriented toward stuff and less about a good massage. The Chinese girls give better massages, and it's a full 60 minutes for $60 usually, but it seems like HE is all they do, if that. Also the Chinese girls have trouble with English. In my case, I liked a few girls so much that I learned some Chinese. Couple dozen words, (like please, thank you, I like that, you are pretty. You get the idea) anyway they love that, give out their phone number, etc. And treat you like a king and not a piece of meat. So to each his own, but if you can live without BJ or FS I would suggest you try a Chinese place.

That was Anna. You are correct. And not a very good massage either.

Good summary Bob.
I've found that in general the Koreans don't care if you come back. They don't seem to get the customer service thing. 80 dollars for a half hour of a crap massage is a ripoff.
I was at a Korean place where I got left in the sauna as the provider disappeared to take care of someone who walked in after me. I got myself out of the sauna and waited in the room for 10 minutes. I then went out in the hallway and told mamsan to get the lady who was supposed to be taking care of me NOW. I went back to the room and waited for another 20 minutes. She finally comes in. At this point I'm dressed and pretty pissed off. I told her what she did was not right and asked for my money back. She copped an attitude like it was my fault. She gave the money back and I left never to return. She also lost a sizable tip that I know she could use.
I've always had better service at a Chinese AMP. I do get frustrated with the language barrier so I'm trying to learn some Chinese.
Just by 2 cents, LOL.

If you have an Android or iPhone you can download Google Translate. It's a hoot trying to communicate, then she gets her phone, etc. That's also how you swap phone #s and most of the Chinese girls use WeChat (its like Chinese Facebook sort of). Also helps to schedule things that way. You show up when she's there, etc. Just be careful to clean your tracks.

Soooo, I was perusing through the therapeutic massage section on backpage (not body rubs) and I saw this from last week. [URL]http://chicago.backpage.com/TherapeuticMassage/young-sweet-asisn-masseuses-new-management-near-gurnee-libertyvill/13040938[/URL].
Thought I'd TOFTT.
Seeing as the 30 min massage was a really low rate, I thought I'd check it out on the way back from work. Called and got directions. First of all this place is in an building with several suites with different services and offices. Anyway, I got in there and the masseuse looked a bit better than what I've seen recently. Onto the massage. Got in, removed clothing, left money on table. Massage started out well and I was testing her tolerance with some grazing and it seemed to go well. She didn't say much aside from the few giggles. When we got to the flip, she massaged my entire front body with a towel on. That was the clear indication for me. I tried taking it off and she put it back on. I tried gesturing for more but she said that she doesn't do any extras. A bit annoyed, I got up put my clothes on and then as I was walking out she wanted a tip. Talk about petty. Gave her the lowest bill I had. A $5 and I was on my way. Crossing that off my list forever.
TL; DR legit massage!!
Had not been to this place in several years, figured I would give it a shot. Called, and got a 1 PM appointment. It's in the office building behind the Mitsubishi dealer on Milwaukee (maybe the old Bamboo? Middle aged Chinese woman showed me into the room (no table shower or sauna). I disrobed and got on the table uncovered. She made no effort to cover with a towel, and after an average massage, teased the boys from behind a bit. On the flip she got right to work with some oil and made a good effort. Cleaned me up, and finished the massage. Massage 65, tip 45 (just left the change from the $70 I had paid with. On the way out there was another similar looking provider. If the massage had been a bit better I may be inclined to go back, much cheaper than Mich / Pine.

Rumor was that Penny was coming back, anyone got intel if she's back?
Great visit this afternoon with Jessica! Apparently she was out of town for a few weeks, but she's back now.
If anyone remembers her, pm me with where you know her from and ill tell you where she is now working.
[QUOTE=Timmer;2132514]If anyone remembers her, pm me with where you know her from and ill tell you where she is now working.[/QUOTE]I just sent you a pm. If you are talking about Jessica at Michs, then I saw her at a prior location about 4-5 times. Thank you in advance.
Jessica told me that she never worked anywhere but at Miches. I got her whole love story.
