Other Reviews

[YEGBoi]

As many of you have undoubtedly seen, I don't post many reviews, except in extraordinary (in my opinion) circumstances. Since my post about Irene and Tracy/Kiki, many of you have asked me to post about other experiences, so here goes:

Lisa at Strathcona - she's very skilled at deep tissue massage. She's a little on the bigger side, but super-easy on the eyes, and nice assets. I find that being a little bigger makes her deep tissue work much more enjoyable as her pressure is natural instead of the muscular force that smaller therapists have to use for the same effect. I find it more comfortable and effective. In terms of appearance, she's always had a big smile and seeing her lovely chest with the flower tattoos doesn't hurt either I've seen reviews of her being rushed and a little rough on the LG, but that hasn't been my experience. I tip reasonably well, so she's always happy to see me and I seem to get the best she's got to offer. Lots of fun. Total investment was $160 plus a bit larger tip...I had a good time

Lucy at Strathcona- Lucy is great for the mature gentleman. She's got a pretty smile and killer deep tissue massage as well. I've always found her to be very consistent and always in a good mood, which makes the session more fun. As mentioned above, maybe I tip a little more than others, but I'm well satisfied and return when necessary. Overall, Lucy is a great pick too. Total investment was $140 plus tip.

Good Energy _ I can't remember the ladies name, but she was about late 30's early 40's and wore Lulu's tight t-shirt and pleasant smile. I loosely draped myself (don't want to be too presumptious), and early into the session she asked if she could remove it. "Why yes you can!" Light brushing throughout the session and good conversation. When she asked me to turn over, her hand went where I hoped it would go, and she asked if I wanted anything else. Bottom line is it was a great session, and very satisfying conclusion. Total investment was $140 plus tip.

Overall, it seems these providers are getting lowballed to death. If you can offer a reasonable tip, you will get much better value and attitude. It's likely a not very good job for them in some ways, and having a pleasant customer seems to make their day, and I enjoy the experience too.

I'll post more as I remember them or new ones when I visit.

Thanks for sharing Yegboi. So I’m a bit confused about the rates you posted. Eg you mentioned $160 plus tip or $140 for tip. What does that mean? Are you seeing them for more than an hour? Then that makes sense. Can you please clarify?

It's an hour session, but I've been paying a little more. If you can afford to, I'd recommend it. I feel like I've gotten a much better experience and quality attitude and attention when I book and during the visit. I little courtesy , good manners, and recognition for their hard work goes a long way. A regular 60 minute massage is damned hard work.

What’s your average tip sir?

 

[YEGBoi]

Good question. Tipping is entirely discretionary. If the attitude and service is bad, I'll leave early and no tip (Nana's for instance).

For me a Regular tip is 20. Very good service is 30, and superb is 40-50.

Went to Strathcona and saw Lucy. She was okay overall. Spent a bit too much time massaging over a towel at first.
It wasn't bad for me, but not amazing either. I wouldn't say no for a walk-in, but I would look elsewhere if pre-booking.

Was hoping to see Irene or Tracy/Kiki that Yegboi posted about. But, I gather that they are both gone now?

Yeah. I think they got fired or something. Staff seemed happy they were gone.
