Happy River Spa in Centreville, Virginia

Massage Parlor Details: Straight up feel nervous having to ring a bell to a place with no windows, just a small sign. Already you feel shady for doing this.

Went in for a massage because I live close by and was not in the mood to go further. Saw backpage ad and craigslist ad so i figured there must be something. BUZZZZ! it was crap. First i wasn't greeted very well. the masseuse, who's name i forgot (older lady), checked my ID for a good 2 minutes. That's the first time anyone has ever asked me for ID at a spa. She gave a good TS, good attention to the boys. Massage was no where near par. On the flip she asked if I wanted the soldier massaged, but then started to bitch and moan about how much tip i'd need to give her. She said some way too high prices based on her "average", I told her to forget it and that I didn't want anything more than the massage. She then pushed further and further and eventually i agreed to a 40 "tip", not really a tip if you have to negotiate it. What pissed me off even more was that she had the nerve to charge an extra 5 on my card when i paid, without asking me. Anyway, standard nova, allowed roaming as i pleased, she was fully dressed in shorts and top but allowed roaming under.

with the experience i had, I wouldn't and don't want anything extra from this place, in fact am never going again. FUCK THAT! Rude attendants, shady place, surprised it hasn't been shut down yet.

Massage Parlor Details: Non attractive attendants, all of them

Yumi is friendly but not very attractive. Playful table shower followed with a nice massage with rim play before the flip. Standard NOVA service with an added finger. Left happy

Tried this place again due to my positive experience before with Yumi. Yumi was off so I had a different provider. I asked for an hour massage and I was told 30 minutes only. I found that odd, but she did seem alone so I went with 30 min. Table shower was so-so. Soft Touch massage was average at best and the finish was rushed after 5 minutes. Allowed hand roaming only over clothes. When I handed her the tip (40$), she said she wanted more. I told her had the massage been for an hour I would have tipped more. She seemed bitter that I didnt tip more when asked. Will call in the future and ask for Yumi, otherwise I will go elsewhere instead.

Massage Parlor Details: Odd smell, but seemed fairly clean.

Asked for soft touch massage. Was everything I wanted. Lots of attention to details. Roaming was allowed and thank god, because her boobs are PERFECT. No rush and no hassle. Standard NOVA finish. Will definitely be back!

Massage Parlor Details: Go all the way to back of buildings look for D1. Started with a table shower, then a very nice massage and back walk. Candy stayed dressed while I was there, but did give me a happy ending.

Massage Parlor Details: Located at the very back of office building complex. Faces far away from the main road. There are several name changes and the current iteration is known as Happy River (once known as Grand River and Zen Therapy)

Not sure what services are available since Happy River exhibited some hallmark traits of AMP but not all of them. Yes, there's the front door with a security camera but there weren't any therapists running around in bikinis or baby dolls. Yes, they advertise on Backpage but is set up more like a legitimate massage therapist than something more. And then, there's the lack of girls. Maybe Monday's just slow but I was welcomed by an older Korean (Yumi, at least 40) and was not aware (or notified) of any other therapists. White guys may find her attractive but I did not.

So I simply asked for a back massage. Paid $60 for a half-hour and did not undress completely. Didn't receive TS but there are indications that showers are available (bathrobe and slippers). When Yumi returned, she was still wearing a peach yoga top and black spandex capri (like she's working out - which she ended up doing anyway). No, she didn't slip into something more comfortable (neither did I really want her to). Again, no indication that there was anything extra. In fact, there was one instance when I stretched my hands forward and she asked me to put them to the side (perhaps more of a massage necessity).

Was it worth it? I'd say so. This is the first time I had anybody walk on my back. It's also the first time that any therapist really worked the knots on my shoulder and upper back. 20 minutes of 125-145 pound pressure does wonders. Did it hurt? Yeah, but it finally loosened up a lot of tense muscles. I'd probably return for a full hour just so she could work on my lower back. I try to see if there's even a flip next time. Left an extra $10 tip for the massage.
