Posts: 115Eastern in Arlington
I guess I would have to agree with other reviews, Eastern is strictly a massage parlor that offers, surprise. A good massage for a reasonable price.
Perhaps this is a sign of the times, a competitor with Massage Envy that offers a 'bit' more but not a 'lot' more.

Posts: 279Maybe I'm in the wrong business...
Amazing that so many new AMPs are around....massage quality varies from non-existent to reasonably good and lately it seems the new places offer no extras. But they must be in business for a reason--i.e., they must be making money, but how?
BTW, thanks for your review. Saved me the trouble..as well as money.

Posts: 9Oasis Waltham
Haven't been on the board for a while, hence, did not see the Oasis review and made the mistake of a recent visit. I've had some pretty bad experiences in all my years in the hobby, but this 'almost' trumped the few that I actually walked out on in the middle of the session for one reason or another.
First off, this place is an old 80's style office type. You know, the old-time booker keeper's office, a place a social worker my have a mailbox at, physicians office, etc. To say the least, the place boarders dumpy, no doors for the rooms, old carpets, who knows how many coats of paint on the wall and so on.
Made an appointment with Stephanie, actually ended up getting the so-called massage with her too. Room was dark and hot, not comfortable, but hot. Uncomfortable table, the type you may come across at a yard-sale. The two ladies running the place are young and in my opinion are trying to make a buck. Extremely unprofessional, most likely due to their age and lack of experience.
Laid on the table and she wanted to drape me with some blanket that was filthy, told her no and she brought in some towels to cover me with. Can't say it was much of a massage even from the beginning, more like a rub and pinch motion (awful). About twenty minutes in I very politely told her to stop and suggested we move over to the foot massage she has setup in the waiting area. I could tell she was a little disappointment. I calmed her down with a little white lie about my bad back and we moved forward.
The foot massage was decent. She did put a little more effort in. Told her to keep the house fee and left with a smile.
I do hate writing bad reviews, however, this place really gets negatives from appearances thru service.
We all know, it all evens out at the end of the day. Yes, the sure things are nice and we all have our secret providers we don't share, but we can't help but crave variety. Of course we all think our experience will be different and so on, but in this case I felt I just threw money out the door period. I can always make light of it, even if it didn't go as expected, but sometimes, even the old-timers have to vent.
Thanks for listening!

Posts: 147Leaving No Stone Unturned At Angel's Framingham
While getting my tires rotated at Sullivan Tire in Framingham, I was motivated to go back to Angel's Magic Touch, which is across the street on Union Ave. So I called mid-week in the evening/early night. I called on a cell phone number I have and Angel said she was closed and gone. Then, I got a call back, and she said she would meet me there.
Well, although there are never any extras at Angel's (she even apologized again for that), and everything is draped, I think I get the best and most relaxed massage anywhere from her (except for the ultra expensive salons). This week was no exception.
The massage was thorough and non-stop for over an hour. From the head, to the earlobes, to the top of the ears, to the face. Then the neck, arms, fingers, and the full walk on the back. Nice and deep and continuous. She does the legs, toes and feet. She does not give me that ticklish feeling when she does the bottom of my feet (a lot of providers who do the bottom of my feet tickle me and make me twinge, which I do not care for). Soft Asian massage type music, and a nice comfortably warm room. Then the flip, and it is all the same on the front side. The only un-massaged part of the body is the detour at and around the vertical organ. Sometimes they can border on too much oil or lotion. The grand finale is a head-to-toe front and back warm towel rubdown.
She is Cambodian I think but spent time in Thailand, or something like that. She has wall diplomas up the ying-yang. They do not do nails, but they do men's waxing in the place if you are into that (I'm not). There is a younger girl who gives massages as well. Both are articulate and easy to understand, which makes the massage more enyoyable for me.
When the massage was completed, the only stone unturned were my stones themselves. That won't stop me from going back for more though!
[Hey, I usually throw them away, but I was bored and just opened one of those blue coupon packs in the mail while finishing up this post, and there is a .39 offer for a 1 hour massage session at Massage Envy on Linden St in Wellesley......so, I will def be giving that a try to save a few bucks in this economy. I just hope "session" means a full hour massage. Kinda hard to think about getting a massage at a straight massage place though.]
Damage .75 + .5 tip
Massage 9
Cleanliness 6 (wish they'd fix a couple broken things)
Looks taking all into account 6
Congeniality 8/9
Reliability 8
HE 0 (non-existent)

Posts: 170Ditto re: Eastern Massage
Likewise I made my second trip to Eastern. Seduced by the $70 special. I already reported here previously and my repeat visit confirmed that no extras are to be had. I saw the other woman there this time (forget her name) and used all my charm on her, but to no avail. It was an adequate massage and we had a great chat but that was it. Probably will not repeat because limited funds are better spent elsewhere.

Like many of you fellow mongers, I have had to cut back on my activities. Over the last few months I've had a few no-hitters. Some of these places have been mentioned here but I figure in these penny pinching times it's better to reminded of where your money will not be best spent...
Eastern Massage, 99 Mass Ave Arlington - great massage by the owner (Sue, I think) for reasonable price ($70 for 1.5 hours) but it's DIY. Lots of teasing, just don't get the line being drawn here. I'm starting to think it's a cultural thing.
Season Therapy Massage, 12 Belmont St, Watertown - very good massage but no obvious teasing or DIY offer - at least they're consistent. I think it was $60 for an hour
Asian Massage and Bodywork, 125 Main St, Stoneham - okay massage, very obvious teasing and DIY urged. I *think* this place is connected to Lavender in Somerville because their ads were very similar and they opened at the same time.
Soophin Massage, 89 Hancock St, Braintree (note that this is NOT in Quincy so it's not the same Hancock) - Tina is an older (50s) very slender, in shape woman who teased me into a frenzy and urged me to DIY. She did allow roaming and tasting of her B cups (no bra! Women half her age can't pull that off.. uhh.. poor wording) but that was it. Good massage, wish there was more to sample.

Posts: 43Oasis Massage in Waltham
Had the urge last night and saw a new place being advertised in Waltham. Easy to find on CL Therapeutic, so no need to copy it here.
It's just down the street from WW, and have a big sign on the door and a neon "massage" sign in the window. Definitely not discreet, that's for sure. All signs pointed to legitimacy, but I haven't TOFTT in awhile, so why not?
Greeted by "Yuki" and "Stephanie", both asian, cute, and much younger than the WW ladies, or most AAMP girls for that matter. I'd say they were both in the 30-35 range. Anyway, they seemed a little flustered like it might be busy, but there was nobody else there when I arrived. I saw three massage rooms and opted for the one with the red wood paneling, sliding door, and overall more comfortable look.
The table was ok, but they used one of those foam neck pillows as a head rest. Not the best, but not bad for a medium sized guy like me. The room was very warm, which was great, and everything else was typical.
Yuki began the massage with WAY too much lotion, but not bad technique. Seems like she's had some training, but not a virtuoso by any means. I could hear activity out front and Stephanie kept asking Yuki questions through the door, which was a little annoying. I chalk it up to being a new place, though. About halfway through my hour, Yuki got pulled away for another appt, and Stephanie came in. She's cuter and fitter than Yuki, but seemed to have a bad cold. No signs of avian flu (no coughing or wheezing) but had really bad sniffles, which once again was a bit annoying. Can't blame her, though.
Stephanie had a really nice massage technique. Much softer approach in her movements, but strength and focus on the right areas. Yuki felt clumsy, whereas Steph felt nimble and delicate but strong. Neither were as good as WW, though, although Jessica isn't as good as she used to be but that's another story...
No teasing, but Steph was not shy about brushing past the boys and getting right near them. Same thing after the flip, including great pressure point work with my hips. Oh, and it's also worth mentioning that I realized my chances of a HE were decreasing because when I flipped, I noticed the door had been left open about 6 inches. I didn't like that at all, especially since I heard a female customer come out with Yuki, and was raving about the great massage and how she'd be back again and again. That was a strange detail, both because it's odd to hear a female patron in one of these places, and because Yuki's massage was average to sub par IMO.
So yeah, after the flip she continued with a nice massage while sniffling and saying that she didn't want to get me sick. She hadn't pulled away when I initiated incidental hand contact to give her the green light, but when she said "all done" and I asked for a finish, she said that they don't do that here. Bummer. Honestly, I think it might be available in future visits but the combination of them being new and on the lookout for LEO, as well as her being sick and probably wanting to go to sleep, were not in my favor.
Then, as I was leaving, there was a guy sitting behind the desk with an odd look on his face, more like he was one of you mongers waiting for something than he was an owner/manager, so I was a little confused. I just took off after thanking them for the massage...I certainly wasn't about to start up some small talk with him, and he didn't say a word. Strange, but if it was one of ya'll, hello!
Overall:
Location: 9 for me. Right near WW.
Massage: 5 for Yuki, 7 for Stephanie since I had 1/2 with each.
Looks: 6 for Yuki, 7 for Stephanie (for context, I give WW 5's all around)
Attitude: 6 all around. Not super welcoming but certainly not cold or rushed. This might be a 7 without the interruptions.
Damage: 60 plus 10 tip.
Return? Yeah, I'll probably go back, but maybe after getting some other reports.

Posts: 147Area Code 540 Advertises Rt 24
OK, S.O. is on the mark, so let the posts resume vs. having the disagreements consume! Haven't seen very many massage reviews in the past many posts, so, figured I would offer one up from yesterday to get things going.
Went to FL in Brockton in the afternoon, and my favorite masseuse was working (great looks, long jet black hair, personable, will spare throwing out her name). They have the best .1 massage around, much better with longer songs than Alex's massage girls these days. But I get tired of signing Mickey Mouse on the little liability form for every massage. She is awesome, 20's, but has a lot of baggage and issues about working in a strip club and living with an older separated married dude she says she loves with 4 little kids. BTW, I saw the old Mercedes from Alex's was now back working and moved over to FL (almost 30, tall thin, with brownish rotted and missing back teeth like what happens when people have been down and cracked-out for a long period of time).
So, to flee the drama, I headed to Alex's. I go there seldom now that they have a goofy setup due to the King Arthur's suing issue about the girls being indies. Spent a couple hours there, met some buddies there, didn't care for their massage girls on duty, and then got locked out of my car due to a dead remote clicker battery.
OK, now, back to the point. After Triple A came, I pulled out my list and eyed this one number I have had on it since Sept. Area code is 540 and always advertises a heated bed, near Rt 24, come relax, never a pic. I decided to go out of my comfort zone, call up, she answers about 9pm, I decided to just go for it and not ask the obligatory size-up questions.
She's available, gives me directions, and I find out she is within viewing distance of FL's parking lot. So, I do a deja vous and head back to the Avon/Brockton line, pull up to the "condex" (as she later described it, "it's not a condo"). She tells me to pull in, her light is on on her unit's front door, and gives me very specific parking direction to "pull in, park on the passenger side of the grey car". I obey, and my phone rings, she tells me I parked on the wrong side, then, she repeats to park on the passenger side. Finally, she figured it out and realizes she means the other side.
Then, OMG, I look in my rearview mirror to backup and I can see this very large black lady in this big pink outfit on the phone standing in the front door of the "condex" with the light on. OK, I'm already here I figure, so, instead of driving away, I pull around to the other side of the gray car and go in.
I walk in, and the 2nd interior entry door has a big hole where the bottom left panel of the 6 panel door was kicked out. I venture in further, and there is a living room with a massage table in the middle. I looked around, and the place was fairly clean, much cleaner than the bathroom's I had been in at FL and Alex's. She apologizes that the table is in the middle of her living room, but she had a problem in the basement and had to move it up there......then she adds, that was a year ago.
We chat, and she is pleasant enough, and has done well with her makeup. She tells me that basically out of 40 calls, about 5 come to see her. Seems almost everyone correctly asks the obligatory questions I opted to waive tonight, which she says she answers honestly, and they decide she is not for them. I figure what the heck, lay down, and, hey, it really is a heated table. She turns the tv from tv to music and away we go. As asked, she gave over an hour of firm massage, getting every finger and toe. Flipped and relaxing head massage. She doesn't think many providers do the hands and feet. On the flip, started head down. She did a lot of staring at the wall while massaging. We pleasantly chatted more, about a lot of things (no kids, single, 10 year breakoff, family matters, religion) during the session. Never once was there a tease. Eventually she asked and I went for the HE, and was glad that I did, very nice 2 handed technique. Finished with a full body, both sided, hot towel washdown.
Overall, felt like a kid on an adventure. OK that I went because she seems like a nice person. But, a picture is worth a thousand words.....so I am going to lean towards the providers with pics and/or make sure I always ask the obligatory questions.
So, had to go full circle back to [basically right next door] FL for more of their massages.
Looks - n/a, a 3 to me might be a 9 to someone who likes her looks
Cleanliness - 6
Front door with hole welcome rating - 1
massage - 6/7
HE - 7
Damage (to her) .7 + .5 (only because I did not want to ask for my .1 in change, her rate is $.1 with HE)
Damage (multiple masseuses within hours) - much more
Repeat - likely not, just not my type
Respectfully submitted,
HD

Posts: 458Police raid 8 massage parlors in Hampden, Hampshire counties in MA
FROM ANOTHER FORUM....
Police raid 8 massage parlors in Hampden, Hampshire counties in MA...
To honor the "no names in posts about arrests policy".. I'm giving an unsourced excerpt here-
Massage parlors raided
Here is the list of massage parlors that were raided by police on Wednesday:
Hadley: Jane’s Spa, 206 Russell St.
Hadley: Hadley Massage, 215 Russell St.
Chicopee: Fiona’s Spa, 1888 Memorial Drive.
Longmeadow: Chinese Massage, 809 Maple Road.
East Longmeadow: Korean Massage Therapy, 611 North Main St.
Springfield: Chinese Massage, 271 Belmont Ave.
Springfield: Janes’s Spa, 249 Belmont Ave.
West Springfield: Unnamed business, 2260 Main St
SPRINGFIELD – State and local police and federal officials Wednesday afternoon arrested three women on prostitution charges and six others for immigration violations during simultaneous raids on several area massage salons in Hampden and Hampshire counties, officials said.
Raids were conducted at two salons in the Forest Park section of Springfield, two in Hadley, and at single salons in Chicopee, West Springfield, Longmeadow and East Longmeadow. Taking part were local and state police and officials with state Department of Professional Licensure, and the federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Department of Diplomatic Security.
Assistant District Attorney Michael H. Cahillane of the Northwestern District Attorneys office in Northampton said the raids were all part of the same investigation, which remains ongoing.
In Hadley, two women, each from Flushing, N.Y., were arrested at two Route 9 salons and charged with engaging in sexual activity for a fee, according to Hadley police.
In Longmeadow, the owner of Chinese Massage, 809 Maple St., was charged with knowingly allowing the premise to be used for prostitution, according to police.
The owner, identified as xxx, 48, of Springfield, was also charged with operating an unlicensed massage facility, police said.
She is due to be arraigned Wednesday in Springfield District Court.
XXX is also the owner of Chinese Massage, 217 Belmont Ave., which was also raided by police. Officials charged three employees there with being in this country illegally, officials said.
In Hadley, a deployment totaling 30 town and state police and officials with Immigration and Diplomatic Security moved in on Jane’s Spa, 206 Russell St., and Hadley Massage, 215 Russell St.
YYY, 43, of Flushing, N.Y., was arrested at 206 Russell St., and ZZZ, 47, also of Flushing, was arrested at 215 Russell St., police said. Each was charged with soliciting sexual conduct in exchange for a fee, police said.
These two are scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Eastern Hampshire District Court in Belchertown.
Another employee, a 47-year-old women whose name was not released, was cited for being an unlicensed massage therapist, police said.
A brochure optioned at 215 Russell St. indicates that Jane’s Spa is affiliated with two other locations, Jane’s Spa, 249 Belmont Ave., Springfield and Fiona’s Spa, 1888 Memorial Drive. Each of those locations was among the salons being raided Tuesday.
Springfield police Capt. Peter J. Dillon, head of the vice unit, said police had been investigating the two Springfield locations for some time for allegations of prostitution, but did not find enough evidence to arrest anyone on those charges.
In addition to the raid at 271 Belmont Ave., Dillon said police also moved in on Jane’s Spa, 249 Belmont Ave. The business was cited for being an unlicensed massage parlor, he said.
Longmeadow police obtained a search warrant for 809 Maple Road and an arrest warrant for WWW after a lengthy investigation into the business being a front for prostitution, said police Lt. Gary LaFontain.
As part of the investigation, Longmeadow police learned the business was not properly licensed and gathered evidence that it was engaged in prostitution.
WWW is licensed as a massage therapist in Massachusetts, but the state Division of Professional Licensure has no record of her business in Longmeadow or in Springfield.
East Longmeadow police also took three women into custody on immigration charges following a raid at Korean Massage Therapy, 611 North Main St., police said.
In addition to being in the country illegally, the three women were also living in the salon, a violation of town zoning and health codes, police said. Two of the three were also found not to be properly licensed to give massages by the state, police said.
Police identified the owner of the business, KKK, of Flushing, N.Y., and he did not have a license from the state to operate a massage parlor.
The town health and building inspectors were also called to inspect the property for code violations for modifying a part of the shop into living quarters, police said.
Paula Grenier, spokeswoman for the Boston regional office of Immigration and Custom Enforcement, said the six people arrested for immigration violations will remain in custody pending removal proceedings before a federal immigration judge.
The hearing will either be at the immigration court in Boston or Hartford. She was not sure of which location or when it would take place.
She did not have any information on the identities, ages or countries of origin of the six people.
She said immigration officials regularly take part in local police actions if notified in advance of the possibility of illegal aliens being involved.
West Springfield police detectives, accompanied by federal and state officials, also executed a search warrant at an unnamed massage therapy salon at 2260 Westfield St., said police detective Scott A. Manser said.
The salon, which had no name on the door, was open for business.
He said no arrests were made but evidence was recovered and the investigation is ongoing and charges may later be filed.
Chicopee Detective Bureau Capt. William R. Jebb said five Chicopee detectives and four federal immigration and customs officers raided Fiona’s Spa at 1888 Memorial Drive, and confiscated paperwork and computers. No one was arrested.
The business was operating without a state license and charges may be filed on that, he said.
Police began investigating after receiving an anonymous tip from a customer who reported being offered sex in exchange for money during a massage.
Undercover officers went to the salon more than once but were never propositioned, he said
