Massage Parlor Reports

[ForceOfNature]

Try and drive your car up and just walk in to HC or TOS, report back how that ends.

I thought you were trying to make a distinction between walk-ins and appointments at a massage parlor.

[CrylFern]

Right now the massage isn't even good. The cost is up and the few places we have are just offering HC but with more steps. The only difference is walkins vs appointments.

HC and TOS: appointment req'd.

Hollyridge, et al: walk-in okay.

HC girls are, in general, younger and prettier and GFE. The shower is almost my favorite part.

Hollyridge is more of a qv or car date: do the deed and leave.

HC / TOS is twice the price of Hollyridge. You get one pop either way with the hhr. What's the rest worth to you?

Using the same number to call ahead and having been more than once led me to get my regular when I went back, but YMMV. I have been out of the parlor game a while.

Please explain what you mean by "the only difference is walk-ins vs appointments," other than the definition.

IMO an AMP is first about the massage to relax and second a HE. Five years ago that was a 40 minute backside massage and 20 minutes of special attention. That was. 6 house fee and. 4 tip. Today it's now (. 8) house fee and (. 6) tip for a 1. 4 total. There are AMPs providing L2 service and the rate is (1. 0) which usually includes top up and pants down with full access. AMPs providing FS ranges between. 8 house and (1. 2 - 1. 4) for FS for a total of (2. 0 - 2. 2).

HC is an escort service that doesn't specialize in quality massage. HC is usually 2. 4 for 30 minutes which 15 minutes is lost from the time you leave your shoes at the door until you are toweled dried after the shower. That leaves 15 minutes tops of service before the knock at the door signaling time is up. An hour at HC is 4. 0 but you do get two pops but still no real massage just light touches. The workers are young (18 to early 20's).

Asian Ad is an escort service that doesn't provide a massage. It's 1. 0 for QV (10 - 15 minutes) and 1. 4 for 30 minutes. The location is not usually ideal and worker quality is very subjective.

I believe it boils down to what a person values more. Massage vs. Play or a combination of both. The Raleigh area has very hard operating structure for Adult services which affects rates and worker quality. Its not easy but there are available options.

Studio now has a 0. 9 house fee. I might have stayed but the lady at the door was not to my liking. There was another but I didn't take a look. Currently under new management but I liked the old crew of Sunny or Sony, Candy and Mimi. All three gave a good massage and would use the bars for extra pressure. They each had their own style after the flip which kept things fresh when one was busy or on vacation.

I will take this opportunity to say that the girls don't like it when another girl does more. They know that the girl who is doing more will take their regular customers. Sunny was happy when Mimi left. She asked me, did you know what Mimi was doing? I acted dumb and said I don't know, I always get a massage and a helping hand. Sunny was like, Noooo she was doing this! I acted surprised but I knew. The point is don't share what Girl B is doing with Girl A. I knew Sunny for two years but I never discussed what others were doing. My advice is don't tell when they ask about their coworkers. It will only lead to a favorite girl permanently leaving.

It's not just about losing their regulars. If someone else is offering more, they can't keep raising how much they ask for to do less. Now they want $80 just to lift their top where as $80 used to get you a BJ. Yes, there is inflation and things cost more but not that much more. We're at the point, going to HappyCastle is only a few dollars more and a higher quality than what you get at the AMP. Why pay 2. 50 and up all in for a laundry lady BJ or FS?

Went to studio last month. Bummed my preferred gal was no longer there. Drew Cindy. She was ok with an ok standard finish.

I recently saw Kiki there, as well. On top of the fun part that took me there, it was actually a good massage, rather than an untrained "back rub".

Went today and as luck would have it I drew Kiki. My experience was very much inline w yours. Opted for the soft pressure for the massage, left happy and relaxed. Will be visiting her again in a couple weeks.

Hi fellas, I'm coming to town this weekend and was looking for an AMP to visit. Based on the thread it sounds like Gateway is the place to go? Any other recommendations? (PMs are open) TIA.

Haven't been to gateway just yet. Was known to be hit or miss per other reviews. Shame too, because it's a convenient location for me. If you're staying in that area then I would go for it. Else I would recommend the M place in Raleigh. Been twice the last two weeks.

First time drew NooLoo (spelling probably way off). Young gal. OK massage, and on flip offered either a HJ or BJ. Negotiated the CBJ. She must have graduated w honors, good brain.

Second time drew Sunny. Sweet and bubbly personality. Great massage. On flip negotiated the CBJ and she was very fun. Will repeat this place and be happy if I get either of them.

Went to studio last month. Bummed my preferred gal was no longer there. Drew Cindy. She was ok with an ok standard finish.

Do let us know how it goes at gateway if you go. Stay safe and good luck.

I recently was thinking of how good we had it back between 2010- 2015 there were massage places everywhere. We all remember Wendy for how great she was but we forget she gave a great massage. Wendy and Coco from Studio were the local massage trainers every new girl who came to our area got trained by them. Haha I was blessed because Coco would call me up and ask me to come to the shop and get a free massage and give my evaluation of the new girls skills. Having this training in place was great because all the shops had girls with decent massage skills. Back then the girls were alot more open with their extras depending on if they liked you their only worries were not letting the owners find out but now any place that's still open every girl is scared to death that the shop is going to get raided at anytime. I feel so bad for them they are just trying to make a living. I'm sure Xhippie can add some of his insights to our growing problems.

Yea, this subject pops up once in awhile when someone new to the area ask with everything that is booming in this area what's with the dud massage places?

The old times, ahh remember when there was let's see, Tom Cats, University Massage, the place on 98 and Hillsboro exit can't remember the names. Then! Look out the Asian Places arrived 25,35 stores some owners in the area owned 4 and 5 stores. JJ (rest his soul) had to create JJ's list. I knew one lady Sophie owned 3 stores. All pulling in big bucks. They really opened too many stores too fast and too close to each other. Greed! The girls in other states like NY, Fl. Are well connected they know where the action is. So the neighboring business took notice and so did other licensed masseuse. Next to take notice was LE and NC Massage Board. End of Business! And here we are now.

Wendy Wendy Wendy, she would throw my back out of joint humping so hard, then massage me back to normal. Different times indeed.

Studio was always a favorite spot. I remember Coco and Kiki. Around Covid time Studio went from Chinese to Korean and another Coco and Julie were the highlights and more recent times it was Sunny or Sony and Mimi. Studio, while open, is not the same but that goes for the places like Green Apple, Westgate, Super Relax and many more favorites that don't even exist. However there is one that brings a smile these days.
