Who is Penny?

Sorry sir. Post 10345. Penny at Green Tea in CT

[Spaz2580]

Went here about 6 mos. Ago and it was all legit. They have a place in the Mall also. Good therapeutic massage though.

I thought I recalled seeing this place mentioned here at some point, but I couldn't find any reviews by searching for Natick or the phone, etc. So, I decided I would give it a try. It's on Rte 27, across from the Five Guys / Staples / Bldg 19 1/5 plaza. They're on the 2nd floor, and digits end with. 8000. I think the name is An Kong or something like that.

"Holly" was the only one there. Pleasant-looking asian in her mid-late 30's. Nothing special, but not ugly. She didn't even collect the. 6 fee up front. I stripped and she came in and immediately draped me fully. I asked for strong, and I got a good, hard massage from head to toe. She even was able to work out some real knots when she found them.

We were interrupted once by the phone, and 2 or 3 times by walk-ins (one of whom was a woman!). It was kinda funny because each time she heard the door or the phone, she exclaimed "shit" under her breath. She was almost more put off by the interruptions than I was. Her massage was quite good, so I was in la-la land most of the time.

I didn't even know that she had set a timer for 60 minutes, until it went off while she was doing some extra scalp & neck work. Although there was a flip, she kept me draped the whole time. Even when she did the glutes and hamstrings, she carefully positioned the towel. Hot towels for clean-up, and she did something I wish more providers would do. She was conscious of me being cold as the towels cooled down, and she would wipe one section then cover it with the drape and move on to the next. Nice touch since the small hot towels can easily become cold rags.

Obviously, I got the full hour, and I tipped her a Jackson (payment on way out, no haggling). If I had the correct change, I probably would have left 15 but stupid me didn't bring an assortment of bills, and I would never ask for five bucks' change on a tip!

The entire feel of the place is that there should be some sort of extras available, but this time there was no chance and I didn't even try. I noticed that they don't have a CL ad on either Boston or Worcester section, so maybe they are totally legit. Anyone with different experiences, please share!

Thanks,

JP.

Oh, and I went back and forth on where to post this: Boston, Worcester, or "other areas". I figure most people read the Boston thread, and this was kinda TOFTT so it's here.

The end result is that these ladies see a lot of Tom, Dick and Harry's in a day. Most of wil them get the sane ole mundane service. Why not. Your just one in a line of peckers she will grab hold of that day. You want to stand out and get her attention or gratitude so to speak. Not only might that grease the wheels for the current visit but if you were inclined to return she just might remember you were the gent that treated her a little special by giving a little above. Now there are those out there that expect the little xtra more and it will neither grease the wheels or help you remember you (in a positive way anyway). There is nothing that can be done and most likely you won't be going back anyway. But I've had many sessions where the service is just a little bit better for just a little extra than those sessions that have been worse. Have I wasted a few dollars here and there. Sure but the better visits certainly outweigh the wasted ones. Think of it. An extra 10 bucks once is a lot better than 60 bucks to try a new place or new lady and be disappointed. Of course I'm not a cheap prick and try to be a gent anyway so the discussion for me is moot. If she is good and the service is above board I just give a little extra. And no I don't want to hear that I'm keeping the prices high for everyone else. And BTW. Penny is a sweetheart and is one who certainly deserves a little extra. If you don't get great service then I'm guessing it is on you and not her. SO

Who is Penny?

I'd heartily second that! A few ladies do seem to work harder to make our visits more enjoyable, and by showing a bit of extra appreciation it just might eventually help bring routine service levels back up to where they once were.

Hey.

Has been heard of or been to "Royal Spa" located on 227 Chelmsford st. In Chelmsford MA?

I've been seeing the postings on BP, just seeing if this place is good, so so or bad, before I go there.

Have been going to Fong's in CT for years. She strong like bull. Believe the word is Simu for female master. Kathy, probably has had issues and plays it safe until down the road.

For the tips for the providers. It varies per service. Hey if you like it and she is pleasent you will be going back and make up for it then.

The providers are all about the tip and will always cut U a break, but probably not more than once.

I was a regular customer when Fong was still on 231 Harrison.

Ave. She did provide he too. Although she is strong as a simu

Master, her technique is excellent and enjoyable. You are not only.

Receiving a professional massage but also a sensual relief.

Seriously folks. While I understand the need to keep places on the qt. What the hell is 'S'. If your going to be that cryptic then don't even bother posting.

Mustve mistyped. S'Bai bodywork in Cambridge.

She suggested I go and shop around for a good young massause, I did not think much of it. Also, she asked for money up front which is not like her.

Over the past several years, I have gone to Aiko in CT, who is a middle-aged Malay / Chinese lady who gives a good massage and fine finish. I don't quite know why, but lately she has encouraged me to go to other places. Specific ones. Mind you, I am clean, well dressed, polite and friendly, pay her asking price, tip the going rate, so I don't know why she would discourage me from coming. But after a couple of these suggestions, perhaps I should take a hint, so I did.

A side to Aiko fans: has she made suggestions of other masseuses to you too?

One was "Kathy" who she said was a friend of hers working on Harrison in CT, and she gave the phone number, but oddly, told me not to say she sent me. Well, Kathy works in the cluster of several massage studios at 40 Harrison, second floor, specifically 2A, at Fong Massage. I reported a couple years back on going to Diva (2D) , where the masseuse was most reluctant to provide a finish, but eventually did so.

Kathy is a great therapeutic masseuse. Near the end, I politely asked about extras. She was not offended, but made it clear she does not offer that. I paid $70 for a superb clean-only massage that I really needed, and she went overtime because she thought I needed more (I did) , so I gave her a tip for that. Fong is her "shifu" (master) and she also gives massage, also therapeutic only.

Oh, and when I mentioned Aiko, Kathy didn't seem to know her. Puzzling.

I believe that studios 2A through 2E are all massage parlors. For sure 2A is clean only, and unless Diva (2D) has changed, it is clean only as well. I don't know about the others.

Would I go back? Sure, if I really needed a very good therapeutic massage and didn't mind not getting a finish.

I am a regular to Divas and always pass by the other massage places on that floor, usually their door is open. I have noticed that when I leave Divas they usually watch me leave out the front door wondering if they think I'm going to stop in to the other places! Divas, especially Alice gives a lot of extras and the standard is $40. But when she goes a little more it's a no brainer, you leave a little more. Just wish Jessica the new hot one she has let a some UTC for a bit. Anyone have any luck with her on that?

Thank you, Fly, a voice of reason. At least someone gets it. All too often I get the feeling of an us vs them (MPs) mentality. How bad is that? Yes, there are plenty of rip offs, upsellers, short timers, and scams out there but we know YMMV so do your research! And, in the case of bad service tip accordingly-maybe they'll figure it out. Isn't that how you figure a tip in other aspects of life? But, if you truly enjoy an experience, then let the lady know! It doesn't take much extra, believe me.

I recently had an adventure where the lady did all she could for the second pop. She finally got it but, damn, she worked for it. I didn't have much extra but I emptied my wallet to her. The next time I saw her was amazing (and has been ever since) and no extra was asked for nor expected.

Off the box now.

Was simply that many of us tip the requisite 40 for mundane service so if you get a good massage, as you said, and a little extra, does another 10 spot really kill you? I know it goes a long way with many of these ladies to show a little gratitude especially if you plan on repeating. Works for me, anyway.

My MO is to leave the tip in plain sight and she seemed happy when presented with the 4. I'll let you know what transpires if I have a follow up.

I was not trying to keep it quiet. I put in S'Bai. The Title Bar must have not liked the apostrophe, so it hid the rest of the word. Sorry for any confusion.
