Massage Parlor Reports (Formerly Pine)

Mimi was there yesterday. Screw-on tops and partially shaved on a very nice body and wanted a bit more than I was willing to shell out.

[QUOTE=MrLittle;2212242]Stopped in to the spa that advertises in Lake Geneva. Not to far of a drive for some of us in lake county. . 65 at the door for the full hr. Didn't get her name but the massage was great. No mention of a tip at all. I left. 60 which is more than I usually leave for this level of service, but it was nice not to have to haggle and to get every minute of the hr. They have a "punch card" where the 10th visit is free. I'll happily make the drive out there again.[/QUOTE]This is why they cry when I give them. 40. Hell, I don't even like paying higher than .60 for the massage, even with a punch card.

Full disclosure, I've not been to this establishment, but it would have to be very remarkable for me to drop 1.25

[QUOTE=NuruLover;2205506]Yeah, I have to say tips are a little more expensive there. But the girls are usually hot and it's better than having to drive all the way to Yun / Lux now for me. $80 at the door and the girls want $20 more than the standard. I had Mimi last week and she negotiated up front, depending on the girl it's not the norm there, and agreed to standard tip after a hard negotiation but she pouted. I gave her the extra $20 at the end but I made it clear that it was a gift (I bowed and said "kamsahamnida").[/QUOTE]Called this morning and asked if Sue was working. Said they don't have anyone names Sue. I'm sure that was the name the girl gave me before. Went anyway, hoping for the best. Greeted and asked if I was the one that asked for Sue, then asked if I had been there before. I dropped a few names and they relaxed. I drew Mimi. Pretty nice looking, but a bit skinny for me. Nice rack. TS was alright, with a little attention payed to the boys, then off to the sauna for about 5 minutes then into the room. Massage was a bit lackluster. Was not happy with the tip, which I left on the table. Wanted more. Grabbed the money from her and said I would leave. She changed her tune. More info via PM for trusted seniors.

They need some younger girls, got this new one that's flabby and ugly. Didn't catch the name.

[QUOTE=SamSpade;2199760]If you can do without the table shower, nail spas in the Wheeling area are a good deal. So I found out in the last few weeks. Nothing out of the ordinary on the menu. Seniors can PM me for a few details.[/QUOTE]I think I did too good a job in letting you guys know about these little hidden gems. I've been to both of them several times since my post and now I can't get in without an appointment. Or getting my nails done first. You guys!

There today. Saw Jenn. Pleased with the massage. It seems the other girls are gone. (maybe) But saw a new girl on the way out. Younger and a little pudgy, I thought. Huge tits. New girl was waving and grinning at me as I left. So that that for what it's worth. I take it as a reason to return.

Turns out, in that particular town she can't get a business license as a Massage Spa unless either (a) she does nails or (b) is a health club. So I guess that's the reason for the Nails.

Lisa is good guys. Mid 20's, massage is a 4, but more than standard offered.

Maybe because I'm a young asian? YMMV.

PM for more details.

Stay safe,

GG.

Last night, instead of getting a massage in Chicago or Mt. Prospect like I usually do, I boarded a Metra train and headed north to Libertyville. I had Mich's on my mind because I've been hearing good reports about it. Got off in L'Ville after about a 1-hour ride, made the short walk to Mich's, only to be told by MMS that only one girl was working at the time, she was with another monger, and that I'd have to wait an hour. She also said Mich's is first-come, first-serve, and they don't make or hold appointments. Can the L'Ville vets confirm this? MMS suggested I try Pine Spa, so I made a long 2-mile walk towards Pine. But when I neared it, it dawned on me that Asian Wellness was 2 blocks away from Pine. Since I'd heard good things about AW, I headed there instead of Pine. It was worth it as Anna gave me a very good massage and a nice standard finish. What loomed as a wasted trip turned out to be great in the end. I still would like to try both Mich's and Pine, so I will be making the long journey from Chicago again soon.

Glad Wellness took care of you, Miches can get busy at times. I'm surprised mms didn't let ya wait in a room til a girl frees up.

Last night I couldn't decided about visiting Mich's. The last time I was there Mimi gave a lousy massage and $4 wasn't a good enough tip.

I hated being pressured for the standard massage tip. So I decided to go back to Cozy, and was glad I did. Got and excellent shower from Tina.

Followed by a great massage. Would definitely repeat.

[QUOTE=Bob521;2190581]I had an interesting conversation with one of my favorite (Chinese) massage therapists today. It is interesting to hear their perspective. Also might help us get happier results.

So, she has moved three times and I have followed her each time. I was aware enough to make sure I got her name, phone number, and WeChat I'd after the second visit. She is actually a conservative licensed MT, but gives HE because "that's her job". I found her a legit place, but she plans to open her own business. Semi-legit. She says her strategy is to only offer legit massage to people she does not know personally. Unless the MS gives personal assurance. After she knows you and you become a regular, and don't weird her out, it will go further. If anyone EVER asks about prices, they refuse all advances. So, take that as advice. She described how her friend got arrested, customer, nice guy, asked for extras. "no, we don't". Please? "no we don't" How much? "no we don't" $40? And then, poor girl (who was trained NEVER to say anything) holds up 4 fingers. He says, ok. She touches. He asks to go to the bathroom. Cops come in. Totally shitty.

So the morals of the story are (1) don't be stupid and ask for a price list. (2) Build a network. We hate going places where the outcome is uncertain. Guess what? They hate getting arrested, and they NEED regulars. Simply say "your massage was wonderful". "I don't want to loss contact with you if you change spas? 90% of the time, especially on a second visit, you will get a number or some other way to reach them. (3) Please don't arrest a poor girl just doing her job.[/QUOTE]Well said, bravo.

Are they still in the LV area. Really haven't ever seen much beyond just going to them. They have been my staple for years.

New Dress Shop Next door to Anna's.

Front walk at the building entrance was being repaired. Came in the back of the building, which passes the neighboring businesses. I almost met the new neighbors! Unless they were nuns, I could not imagine anything worse. This ladies dress shop shares the adjoining wall and they have a door and glass window 2 feet from Anna's door. I say dress shop. Admittedly, as I walked past, I gasped, like I was having an aneurysm, and averted my eyes. But the owners / customers were buzzing around in the shop. Anyway, just be aware of the issue and stay quiet and inconspicuous. Duh. Damn Damn Damn.
