Massage Parlor Reports

[Momo2]

I don't know if it's me or what, but I made 3 appointments last week, 1st one, I arrived on time but was told "you come back in 45 minutes". I said "what about my appointment?" "Sorry". I went elsewhere as a walk in. 2nd one, I arrived on time, as usual, I'm never early nor late. Girl said " I busy, can you come back in 30 minutes?" "Nope, I'll go someplace else". So I did, as a walk in. 3rd one, " You have to come back, I'm busy". "I'm busy too, I'll go someplace else", so I did as a walk in. The only time these places will honor an appointment is when nobody rings the bell ahead of me. I realize it's the old "bird in the hand" deal, and I'm sure some guys make appointments and don't keep them, but so far the only place that I've been to that I can rely on making an appointment and having the spa honor it is NMS, in Providence. Even Admiral in Prov has asked me to wait up to 30 minutes.

Smoke. Give us the names of the guilty places so we can plan accordingly.

Drove by there, it was a mechanic shop and there was a closed down pizza restaurant across the street. Very narrow streets actually and there wasn't a sign for the spa. I know it said 2 f but I didn't want to risk on even getting out of the car and be around sketchy people.

Instead I called and stopped by main st and it was a good time all round by Angela. Very nice and a very good listener on what I wanted (even with the limited english) throughout the session. Standard HE place so left .6 for the hour and .4 for tip. The only gripe I have with the place was the noise outside and the bell kept ringing from walk-in mongers. PLEASE call from now on, it really kills the mood when the girls are short staffed and have to leave the client just in order to tell you "call ahead next time", seriously.

But aside from that, will definitely return.

It is not the monger who walks in's fault if your provider or his / her employer decides to operate on a shoestring and be "short-staffed". I noticed in 905's CL ad that it clearly states the exact address, although I will grant you that their current ad does not say "walks-ins welcome", neither does it discourage them. If your favorite spa truly cared enough about your total experience so as to avoid all interruptions, then they would not advertise their street address, and would have someone else besides your therapist, hopefully with some English skills, field phone calls and set appointments, and would institute a policy of "by appointment ONLY".

Back before the "Purple Moon" era, when I was a frequent visitor to 905, I usually had Lulu as my provider, and I never had a problem with interruptions, as her English was so poor, she could neither answer the phone or communicate with anyone who might have walked in.

I need your guys help on this one. I am looking for a place to leave happy in the Newton / Needham / Brookline area. Had DIY only at Chestnut and Brook in Needham so looking for a reliable place.

BP Body Rubs ad heading "New Gorgeous and Hot Girls.." (search on Newton).

The area, while run down, is industrial and in no way unsafe (maybe "sketchy" in appearance), the train station is around the corner and it is safe. Got some mixed reviews via PM, so waiting until I hear more / better before taking the plunge.

Yes, 905 Main is reliable and yes Angela is good despit the noise from outside.

Anyone try this one out yet? Any intel would be appreciated as it is close by and I'd rather spend on a guaranteed HE than waste it on a legit scenario.

PM is OK as is posting to the board (that's what the board is for).

Thanks. CV.

Try tulip in Brookline.

[Blambo McGee]

Been lurking for a little bit.

Any place in MA where FS is on the menu or do I have to go to RI?

I just moved here not too long ago and trying to find somewhere.

Most Gents here will not provide info to a "Newbie" until he's posted some original content of his own.

What is going on here? One member states they are shut down due to reports here, another member posts some cryptic info and now you post that this is nothing more than just that Gina sold out. Don't get me wrong I am not calling anyone out but it seems to me all that has happened here is that the management has changed and we all know AMP's change managers and staff all the time, take a look at AMP ad headings today and I will bet you will see a few that say "Under new Management" or "All New Asian Staffs".

I posted where Gina will be soon; where CiCi is now. The post was removed.

Who was the provider that you saw?

She spoke poor english and was a little on the heavy side about 5 foot 3. Didn't catch her name and if she said it I couldn't understand her. Didn't see anyone else.

More like a straight massage and nothing else. I go by the place every day for work now and decided to stop in and chance it. Read some mixed comments.

Guess the hunt continues.

[Smoke Screen]

Newbie to the board. Tried going to Crescent Moon the other day on the wey / bra line. Tough parking arrangement and massage was more standard with no tease. Left disappointed. This the normal for the spas in the area?

Any details?? PM or reply Thanks CM.

They have been closed for a while.

I've been meaning to report on a visit to the Harrison ave spa which you can find advertised on CL and BP. First, the place is right next to a busy restaurant, so it's difficult to be discreet. Second, one must meander in a multi-tenant / business building, thus bumping into people. Then, the "spa" is established in what should be an apartment, so the layout is weird. Finally, the ladies I saw weren't particularly attractive. Otherwise, ok massage but unenthusiastic personal touch. Will not go back. Regular damage.
