Massage Parlor Reports

[Nsfrmbhnd]

Recently tried the place formerly known as China Pearl in Danvers. Had not been there in couple years and not since Lilly reopened. CL ads are easy to find, its still up the rickety wood stairs on "Hi" St. Across from Mickey Dees.

Drew Coco, only one there. Small gal, not ugly, shaped like a block. Not much engrish. Lousy massage. I always ask for hard, she didn't come close and obviously didn't seem to have the basic Massage 101 technique that most AMPs have down pat. Flipped early with no tease prior and went to HE immediately with no tease. Shorted on time too. 70+40, won't repeat.

I've been going here on and off for at least 5 years. Due to my location, it's the quickest and most convenient. In defense, I find it to be always reliable. 1) I've never been shorted time, have had extra time some days. 2) Never had to negotiate while on the table. 3) Have gotten medium and hard massages, and found them to be well within asked range. 4) I never expect to be able to communicate easily with any AMP anyway. Two negatives: 1) I think the 70 upfront is high, but all others nearby are the same price. 2) Stairway.

I pay 70 +40 every time and know what I'm going to get. We all experience YMMV anyway. I struck out twice at a location in Lynn some time back and won't try again. But have seen plenty of good reviews.

Did a weekend walk in, walk thru at the new Bear Hill Spa, and politely requested a tour of their new place during their "grand opening," and for Mama to introduce each lady, answer a couple of simple questions, request card etc. I mentioned their CL and BP ad, and referenced the ten dollar off special. A standard recon that others have done out here before at various places. Well, they don't yet have a card. And here's what occured.

Mamasan, named Coco, (thirties, tallish, pretty but looked Chinese and not Korean,) seemed puzzled and perhaps a little spooked that I didn't just hand over house money and pick a girl. They wouldn't get within one foot of me the whole time. I didn't follow their routine so to speak, and they responded negatively. Anyone coming in and deviating from this routine at this place, totally confuses them and puts them at unease it seemed. I could tell they just wanted me to leave by their behavior; unfriendly and a bit rude and uninterested, perhaps a bit scared too, not that any of this was my intention, but they just took it the wrong way. Now, I was friendly enough and talked slowly and clearly, but just didn't get back that friendly or inviting reception, especially after they asked "do you want massage", and I again repeated why I was there and asked if it was it okay? No response. Confusion. Nobody grabbed the ball and wanted to do anything for me.

They were even more baffled with me not leaving just then, so I had to basically give myself a tour of the place, asked about the bathroom, and told it was a community one in hallway. They watched me from where they were standing and none got too close to me or tried to use any salesmanship to get me to want a massage. Their personalities were non-existant, unlike other places that I've encountered who were very eager, friendly and inviting, (luring almost) ladies, who wanted you to stay and wanted you to feel comfortable enough, and would try different tactics to achieve that. These three, whose names I had to ask several times to get right, (and they made it out like an imposition to tell me,) were Cici, shorter. 20's and a plump ass, and Wendy, a forties Chinese looking, petite lady, with a cute (in a average type way face,) and Mama; all dropped the ball as had they tried even a little of anything, I might have stayed. Had plenty of dough on me, but just wanted to feel them out first, per se.

I do know a few Chinese words too, so I tested this whole "we're Korean" bit and asked for "Schway" which is water, without using any hand signals or body language, or saying a "cup of schway" or doing anything that might clue them in to what I wanted unless they knew Chinese themselves, which was the case. I trapped them basically. And when they pointed immediately to the water bubble and said "there", I knew this Korean bit was all fake, plus none looked Korean and I have been to K Spas in Providence to know the difference. Back to the water bubbler, now. When I couldn't figure out the dispenser, finally Cici came over to help, (the first time any of the three got within one foot of me.) Also, just then as I'm drinking the water, I overheard Mama talking to the other girl and she used the Chinese word "Seen geen bean", which translates to "odd", or "weird", or "Crazy" depending on circumstances and context. It had to be in reference to me, and what had just transpired, so hearing this, I walked closer to the other two who were inside their draped off breakroom, pulled the drape open slowly a bit more than it already was and said "Just wanted to say I know some Chinese too." "That was Chinese you were speaking." And then I said "Xie Xie", which is thank you and walked slowly out with a big grin on my face. Bottom line, these ladies are fakers and cold as ice, unless you just walk in and show them the money, and shut up. It's all about the money here. They don't even try to act. Unless you show them the dough early on.

Otherwise they have no personalities, and could care less whether you want the massage or not, but they're not going to do anything to try to make youl feel comfortable or wanted and are not going to change their routine. If this is your cup of tea, then go for it, but I know I won't be back. The other two may not know too much English, and that was evident and fine and of itself, and they are excused from not un derstanding me, but Mama spoke very good English in the first 30 seconds of the reception, but then adapted later when I wouldn't just hand over money and went back to a playing stupid role, a I don't understand you scheme. Which is where the rudeness kicked in, in my mind. She failed to retain a prospective customer, which she will probably do again and again, unless she learns to adapt to different customer's tactics, and not be so spooked by something that was not the case. Had she been a smarter, more "think on your feet" type Mama, she could have gotten me to stay and her staff and her would have made money. They're all not the brightest in this hobby I guess, but these three really stood out. Complete air.

Anyone try the new place W Broadway & E St, South Boston?

I'll try this week and report back unless someone has any info?

Thanks.

Let us know how you make out. There use to be a place by the corner of W. Broadway & L. Not sure how it was, as I had never tried it out. If this new place was good to go, it would be nice to have another option available.

[Spaz2580]

Legit I don't mind, but some of these places advertise like there are extras. I'm surprised Kangle is still around. Went when it first opened, horrible.

I can't even post these under legit massage because they suck.

1) KANGLE SPA, Middleton MA- Too much oil. Upsell just to get you to stay and pay longer. Then you get the "we no do. You do". They plain out suck. I can't say enough bad things about it. Hope they close.

2) Colonial road. Salem, MA- awful, old ladies, dirty, no ending.

Anyone have any to share? I was thinking of starting a thread with just those to avoid. Jackson?

There is an AMP in Auburn which is similar. Decent massage by an semi-attractive Asian lady, but nothing else. I left wanting more, but it was pretty clear that was it.

If your planning to take that ride down to Providence to visit the now reopened spas you should know a couple of them have coupons in the Phoenix which is now known as Bostonatnite. Com. You can get $10. 00 off Pleasant Spa of 10% off One Spa (that's about $6. 00)

I was thinking the same thing; girl#1 (No HJ) gets $10 and Girl#2 (HJ) gets $30. I have said this a million times, tipping more than $10 on a non-HJ massage rewards bad behavior (in our warped world anyway). Giving a girl $20-$30 for a legit massage gives her ZERO incentive to visit the dark side.

Bingo. You want to stay legit, so will I. You'll get 10-20% of the bill for a tip.

Sounds like a perfectly legit (not our Legit) massage, except not for the full hour. I would have tipped 10 for her. Girl #2 gave you what you wanted. I would have tipped her 30. On 2nd thought, maybe 15 & 25. Either way, you did ok.

I don't remember if her name was Cindy, but I went a few weeks back and got a good massage from a new girl there who was very cute. When it came time for the ending she wouldn't do HE. After a few tries and offers she still declined so I kindly asked if the other girl there (who was siting on the couch when I came in) could finish the massage. She opened the door, they yelled back and forth in Chinese for a few min, then the other girl came in (sorry I don't remember her name but I had seen her before). She went right to work and got the job done. As I was getting dressed I was trying to decide how I would tip. I ended up giving them each .2 to which the second girl looked disappointed when I first handed it to her but then it was almost like she realized "hey I was only in here for 10 min and just got. 2" and then she saw I gave girl #1 the other. 2 and they both seemed happy with it. My apologies for not remembering names.

I was at the light right by LY today and noticed that they are no longer LY but Awana spa. Has anyone been there since the switch. If they had the right girls there I would visit more often because they have (or had) a table shower. They do however have the same phone. I have not seen any ad under the new name or old one really.

[Diogenesbarrel]

Interesting. My approach on these situations is the girl who handles the tip gets the tip.
