Nuru Shops and Independents

[PitfallHarry13]

I have yet to find a "regular" or a girl that gets me. Might be because I am only in OC like 1 week per month, and we don't really have "nuru" shops near me, just basic FS shops and rub and tugs. Many places similar to Nature or Right. Haven has been my goto when I am here but it is even losing it's appeal. Same girls everyday it seems, and though I really enjoyed them for a while, lately it seems like we are just going through the motions and have lost any interest, also upsells are getting out of hand. One girl there that was $$$ for the past 6 months or so, recently told me that it is now $$ (5 in case it cuts some off).

I'm out of town a decent amount; because of that and budget I still only see my two ATFs about once a month. I'd love to do more but got to eat, you know?

But there is something special about getting to know someone, feeling the hug when they come into the room is genuine, talking about kids, pets, vacation plans, etc. And when you get to that there's never discussion of money because you already know and they trust you.

I've seen quite a few girls just drop off the map lately. Thankfully neither of my ATFs have, but others. I dread the day that either of my ATFs drops out of the industry; I consider myself friends with both and have their phone numbers, but still I'd hate to just lose contact with them and face finding someone else that "gets" me.

The rebranding always happens so hard to point that way. I see one particular girl that works at 3 spas, with a different name at each. The "new" talent just doesn't live up to the veterans in the industry. It's all about a quick buck now rather than good service with the new shawtys.

Things in the nuru world seem pretty stagnant lately.

Seemingly not many new girls. A decent number of rebrands seems like (always a bad sign to me).

Pretty similar, been seeing Chanel and Sam and Victoria and my regulars.

Checked out Nicole and Mya at Laguna Nuru. Both hot blonde babes, Mya a bit friendlier but they were both chill.

Totally agree with you. I blame most of it on the excessive amount of fake reviews and "reviews for favors" that have been here and other major review sites.

So there are reports that Kat's got her own place again? An apt again?

Is working with any other girls? Like the usual cast. Morgan, Lana, Julia?

I've seen her many times, but have taken a break ever since she went Torrance for a while

Hi Pitfall,

Great name. I'm curious about brookberry, especially since she doesn't post pics on IG where I found her, but does post a limited pic only on days she's available like today. She says she is in LH which is a better location for me than Relax. Do you know where in LH or the name (s) she uses? Just based on your recommendation, I'll give her a try. Any other details?

Another one I'm very curious about is Lorena who shows up on VT's Flicker page. She is DDG but I'm sure her pic may be completely off.

I'm not sure what Brooke's current LH setup is like; she was at Boditec for a while but there was a lot of drama. She may be back there. GG is a lot closer for me anyway. And yeah, she doesn't post pictures to her page, just expiring stories when she's working. I can confirm that the pics in the stories are absolutely her, maybe a couple years old but very accurate.

At least at one point, VT was the same ownership as Pure and Haven so I'd trust their pictures about the same (ie little to none).

Ahh appreciate the info!

Any y'all follow raven. Inblack on insta? Dude shares a lot of knowledge and seems super nice and very active.

I don't yet, but Kandy (luxury. Oasis. Oc) talks about them positively.

Relaxtime_fun.

Their lineup pics have always been way off, IMO. One of my ATFs (brookeberry117) usually works there on the weekends and she looks nothing like the pic the spa shares. I think she's more attractive in person, but the very first time I met her I thought they pulled a bait and switch.

I am pretty much a regular at Krystal's even though I live down in San Diego. They don't really have these Nuru spas down here. Lots of other great spas that run the gamit but mostly Chinese. Let me know if you need any input on San Diego.

Thanks.

Most likely Krystal's spot. I know a few girls who used to work elsewhere that are over there almost full time now.

What's their price tag like?

Standard door rates of 45/55/65. The girls all vary; I usually plan on $. 5.

Just got a stable, anonymous instagram profile. Are most of the parlors out there on IG these days? Does anyone have a listing (or could make one) of all of the IG pages for the places I might like to keep up with? And I'd guess, limit to those where the photos are actually useful?
