Hmm such mixed reviews with extreme opinions. Now I don’t know what to do. Could it be YMMV with him?

I feel you as the same experience happened for me. Not to this masseur but to other in the past. You made time, you travel, you arrived, you waited. Those were cost incurred for the session from your side even before you pay him for his fee. In my case, the masseur texted back 20 mins after I left saying he confused my appointment with the other. And his other client came before me and he thought it was me. I arrived 10 mins early so I didn’t quite believe what he said. Plus how could he stop massaging his client to text me back and forth. After text exchange and me telling him how disappointing I was, he asked me to F off and that I overreacted. I stopped talking at that point and moved on. so I hear you and this should be shared unless handled properly by the masseur such as apology or a makeup session at discount as part of customer service.

I ended up trying him about two years ago in his apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. His massage was good. He looked exactly like photos shown. His body was amazing. Sensual part was disappointing. To be honest, there was no sensual part at all with me despite the high rate. I think I may not be his cup of tea (young, Asian, athletic build). I tried asking and reaching out during the massage to send some signal but to no response. Didn’t repeat since.

My experience with him was nice. He does look better in person. His photos on Rentmasseur ad doesn’t do him justice. His massage skil was pretty good too. It wasn’t the best massage I had but it was quite relaxing and good. His body was great and I left happy. He seems like a nice guy to chat with as well. Reading above comment about his texting while working is disappointing and he should not do that. And promising for makeup session and didn’t follow through sounds even more disappointing so I’m a bit reluctant to return. Thanks for sharing. WDarling.

Did this happen to Hawaii? It seems he just added a new sets of photos on his ad. Does he look like his photos? Looks like photos cover a wide range of timeframe. Sorry you had to experience that from him. I think some other forum member had the same experience as you where they showed up at his hotel and he didn’t come out to meet until the customer walked out of the hotel and refused to go back with him. I don’t know what his deal was. Sounds like a time waster to me. Thanks for sharing your experience and confirming.

Is Ian straight?

If I don’t like masseurs to focus on my inner thigh, I will let them know. I don’t think I could claim I had been violated though. Based on what is being discussed, I think Ivan is doing things within his job descriptions (and legal boundaries). If client starts making an inappropriate move claiming Ivan led him on, and Ivan turned the client down. Then it’s a misunderstanding and that’s his right to say no.

How does Ivan look like?

Looking forward to hearing your opinion of him! @Harryinny

Anyone else tried him yet?

He did the same to me sadly. Don’t know what happened cuz our last session was very good and we both seemed to enjoy the conversation during and post session.

Is Alven Asian?

He is handsome. Would be nice if he allows MT. Or is it YMMV situation?

Bump

Wow he asked for $250 for an hour of therapeutic massage? That’s another level of standard he is working with.

For the price he charges, that’s quite high for therapeutic.

Why?

What’s his rate?

Any info on this new masseur in NYC? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/43370/

You mean the premiere 57?

Abit on the high price side starting at $170

Thank you for the info, @rbenji. Would you still recommend worth going though?

How is spa castle now? Saw on website they just reopened again. Any recent experience?

Same. I tried him because of the glowing reviews here. Disappointed. No extra. And very boring massage. I thought I caught him on a bad day. Haven’t repeated since as there is no reason to.

Not the same guy in the photo. No trained nor skilled. Standard HE with Upsell opportunity. wouldn’t repeat.
