Massage Parlor Reports

[WretchedBliss]

Hey everyone,

I work in River North and I am wondering if there are any close places to stop at on my way home. I've looked at don't see anything parlor wise. A parlor or individuals would work. Thanks in advance! Hope you gents are well and stay safe! James.

I know of one which is Green Spa off of Halsted. I personally haven't been there, but many reports from Rubmaps says it's good to go!

I agree. One unhappy customer is far more expensive than the cost of oil / lotion. I never dreamed six months ago I would be researching massage oils and lotions. We get both the lotions and oils from professional distributors. Both are odorless and easy to wash away with water. Cost is about $35 per gallon, which is minor compared to the price of the massage. The Biotin was $62 per gallon, but it's definitely something to consider.

I think a professional grade lotion or oil is something a legit massage spa should be investing. Clients and therapists could have allergies to different oils or lotions. Aroma therapy is not for every guy. The better product can be washed off or even wiped off easily. Or at least clients will feel greasy.

Bottom line: do NOT buy (and leave) a gallon of Kirkland extra virgin olive oil and leave the bottle in the room, hallway, or work area for people to see. I remembered seeing that from one of my AMP session almost three years ago, can't remember it's the spa on Halsted around Randolph or the one on Diversity near Mini Cooper dealership or the one on Clyburn near the six corner of Fullerton. It was a good massage, but I can't help feeling being grilled and it's so difficult to wash it off.

Bob, if you buy a bit more expensive (hopefully better) lotion, it may be good to use rather than the crap a lot of places use. I like the Biotin idea.

Yeah I just took a look. That stuff is pretty expensive. Twice as expensive as ordinary lotion and 4 x as expensive as oil. I like the Bon Vitale Massage Lotion, as it is unscented and water dispersible. Still, I usually take a shower afterwards.

How many places have lotion available these days? I honestly hate oil massages. I hate having to drive home feeling oily. That stuff gets everywhere too. And even table showers don't get it off and besides I, like most here, prefer the ts beforehand. Biotin lotion, on the other hand, does the job just as well, is good for your skin, and comes completely off with a hot towel. A lot of times you don't even really need the towel. But you will rarely find it available and AMP's never have it.

Any place that is serious about massage should have both. But you might need to ask for it.

I don't like lotion and especially oil.

I usually ask for baby powder and some have it and some do not.

I hear you.

A place I like is Magic 88 on Irving, partly because they use a non-oily cream and they also have a really nice shower.

And more.

I've found on more than one instance that if I asked for it, I could get a dry massage. That way my body isn't covered with oil or anything that might have a scent, and the only place I usually end up getting anything on me is when she puts oil / lotion on her hand for the 'hand shake'. They'll usually offer you a hot towel to clean up afterwards anyway, and there's not a lot of oil / lotion to clean off. Besides, I like to feel their hands on me, not sliding all over me covered in something slick.
