Massage / Finish Combo
 

Looking for a really good massage finish combo. Seems like you can only get good service with one or the other.
I get regular massages every 2 weeks and the massage is amazing, but I end up drinking my coffee alone😔
Recommendations?

I think I give a good former but am not not a rmt. I love providing an extended, sensitively- delivered latter!!!

Wow, I am so looking forward to meeting you. I hope you like Billy Joel

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

I love Billy Joel! Saw him in concert here in London years ago! Love love ‘Innocent Man’, ‘Piano Man’, ‘Always a Woman to me’ and so many other great songs!

"The Stranger" album is exactly 69 minutes.
We should do that album.

Roxanne @platinum. Best massage just as good as a rmt and excellent finish!

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

Haven't enjoyed the parlors for about 5 years now. Tips went up more than the house prices did. I am certain there are good ones that don't double charge but I haven't met them in the last 5 yrs.

Olivia Night was the best massage I ever had and the finish was expertly drawn out.

Thank you for the helpful information. I will provide feedback if appropriate. I would never give a bad review that could impact someone's income.

Sadly being under 40 means I won't experience a massage from this provider.

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

I have to ask, why not? If service is bad or lacking why not give the guys an FYI that the service provided was lacking for the money paid.
I understand the concern for impacting someone's income but should the customer(s) lose their hard-earned money for less than stellar services?
IMO the "bad ones" have to be called out for the benefit of the customers. Doesn't matter if it's an MP, mechanic or any other service.

Exactly. Reviews are a big reason why I love this place.

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

So disregard your reviews?

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

I can understand not wanting to post a negative review based on nothing but a lack of being impressed. I tell you I don't like lemon pie, you think I'm crazy. You tell me you don't like cherry pie, I think you are a freak of nature.
Everyone's experience is subjective to a point, so bad reviews should be about services not your impressions or interest. If she's not your type, that's your problem, not hers. She can't control chemistry.
Really "bad" services, like not giving you the time you paid for, pulling a bait and switch, not providing what was offered to get you in the door, etc., is reason enough to review.

When I started all this, I knew the key to building a good website was the combo of ad pages and review board.
Reviewing the advertisers here, keeps out any bad providers (no provider in her right mind would pay me for an ad with a lot of bad reviews) and it gives potential clients confidence in the advertisers who are here. It's a self sustaining quality control. I have no idea who I am advertising until I read a review.
I was asked why I allow bad reviews by an advertiser once, and I told her "If I censor out bad reviews, everyone will just leave the board, lose trust in who is advertised here and the site will just die off like many others".
I've seen good providers get bad reviews here and most of the time, they get MORE business because the review is questionable. Curiosity tends to turn a profit.

Bad reviews of non advertisers is good for this site as well. If she wants to dispute the bad review, she has to get an ad. :grinevil2:
Bad reviews also provide more information to visitors and the more useful this site can be, the more it will be used, the more clients the advertisers get, the more advertisers I get. Everyone benefits.
If a provider gets a really (well deserved) bad review and it costs her an income, then she needs to get another job. This isn't charity, it's a mutually beneficial business and all businesses should be held accountable. Especially one that involves a substantial amount of money.

So Gerald. What’s your thoughts on cream pies?

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

Bhahahahaha I'm waiting for this answer now that I've cleaned up my spilled coffee from coughing not expecting your reply. Love it ! :zipit:

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

OMG, I set myself up for that one, didn't I. :redfaced:
Well played sir, well played. lol
As long as they aren't part of time served in prison, they are awesome! :smarty:

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

I don't post negative reviews because I tend to blame myself for a subpar experience.
E.g. I had a fantastic experience with one of the advertisers here but left smelling like weed. All I could think of after that was what excuse can I come up with for smelling like weed. It smelled like weed when I got there, but I stayed for the hour anyway.
I am not going to put any negativity in a review for the amazing coffee and massage that left me terrified when I got back in my car.
Another time I had the most lackluster performance that I ever had for 90 minutes. Could barely feel the massage, the dance was mediocre at best and the finish was mechanical at best. The whole experience was mechanical. I don't feel comfortable writing something like that about an advertiser here.

I wonder how many of you know exactly who both are.

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

A review can always be made explaining all the pros and cons you feel you experienced. It can still be a great source of information for all of us regardless of how any particular individual feels about it. Some of that stuff is subjective to each individual and each individual should decide how to react to it.

I don't particularly care about weed odour. I have my preferences as I'd rather not walk into a smoky deep deep indica filled room. I feel like it's nice to know something like that ahead of time so that I can imagine that it's going to be a situation where I'm walking into a room with that dank skunk smell, and if it turns out they're smoking some kind of chocolate strain, that's just a bonus.

For me, any truthful information is better compared to no information. You can always make a fact-based review about your experience without being demeaning, belittling or being completely negative.

I'm not demanding or asking for more reviews. Just hopeful that people won't be discouraged from leaving them.

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

I can respect that. Just so you know, I have no issues with reviews like that. Those are valid issues.
I did see one review where I had to step in as the reviewer complained about the lady's nipples. :shocker:
I find that kind of critique disgusting and lacking humanity. If that bothers someone personally, that's normal, but don't paste it on public board as a bad review like a livestock broker at a barn. :odd:

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

Agreed, and there is always a kind/respectful way to state issues like that in something as simple as: "Looks like the photos but unfortunately not what I would normally go for."

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

To a point I can understand your concern. I agree with you about giving the person you saw a rave review about her service but it IS worth mentioning about the smell of weed since that clings to you for a while and will make your SO wonder where you were. Mentioning that is not negative about service but can be cautionary FYI to others before they go there. And it really is an FYI to the advertiser too.

As for the lackluster massage, mediocre dance and mechanical service that IS worth mentioning in a review regardless if it's an advertiser or not. These things have to be mentioned as an FYI to others and the advertiser. Maybe she was having an off day but if that type of service continues then people need to know so they are aware of it. Could it affect her income? Yes. But it also effects those who see her and walk away disappointed.

I'm a firm believer in reviews - indies, agencies, parlours, etc - for the information they provide, good and bad regardless if they're advertisers or not.

Re: Massage / Finish Combo
 

I agree that it's unprofessional to have a work environment that smells like any kind of smoke. However as far as being "mechanical" it's a good idea to have a game plan when seeing a new client.
