Review: Palm trees spa
- Thread starter Cooldude00
- Start date
I went there a few times, every time, I asked Lina MMS if I could have a session with her and she turned me down for one of the girls. I guess subconsciously, after striking out three times, I felt like I was out.
Lina has had some really good providers go thru that building. She has had some average ones go thru as well.

I wouldn't take it personally. I went a few time this summer to see someone I had previously seen elsewhere. From conversation with Lina (see below), I got the impression she was focused on running the place but not seeing customers personally. This arrangement gave her a little more time with her family, then she could come in around noon.
My problem is that she didn't seem to have any use for appointments. If I make an appointment to see someone in particular and arrive on time, that's who I came to see. Once or twice you can offer me water and talk to me. If the issue is that some else arrived earlier and might not come back if you tell them I have a scheduled appointment, I won't become a regular. Depending on your schedule, it seemed a little better earlier in the morning.
That said, the other women looked nice and seemed friendly enough, but it takes enough time for me to get there that I'd rather be able to call ahead and make a real appointment.

The internal spa dynamics have changed over the years. When the K-girl spas dominated, they usually had an experienced mamasan that took good care of the girls and the customers. Get in with the mamasan and you could be pretty much assured she would get you what you wanted and even call you when she thought you might like one of the new girls coming in or coming back. Since the Chinese invasion of the AMP scene, I do not see the same attention to the customer. The Chinese spas usually have quick turnover, girls may only work certain days of the week, and management may be just one of the girls in the fort. Warm body, cold cash. My favorite mamasans have all retired so my loyalties have ended with any given spa. Instead of relying on a mamasan for intel, I now use WeChat for the Chinese girls, Kakao Talk for the K-girls and WhatsApp for the Latinas that I care to stay in contact with. If you have a good relationship with one of them, they will give you their number and will tell you where they might move to or come back to. They then arrange the appointment and will be there waiting for you. My first girl at Palm Tree was an absolute gem. She moves around the country, but we always get together when she is back in the area or when she is "on vacation" back to Flushing.
That's why I was annoyed - I did have her number and set up a 1 hour appointment, but Lina didn't want to make others showing up wait (i.e. she wanted to cut my appointment short, or give me to someone else). Not surprisingly, the woman I went to see did not stay there very long.
I had some problems with WeChat on my main phone (with regular women), it stopped but wouldn't let me reinstall it. I haven't tried Kakao talk yet, might be interesting.
