+ EVdude Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I saw Dylan at Babylon a few months ago and thought the massage was a little strange. He only did my legs for a little bit and then didn’t touch my legs at all during the oil part of the massage. End of massage was very rushed too. That was exactly my experience... no intention of repeating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never say never Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 That was exactly my experience... no intention of repeating. Dylan is not good at all . He doesn’t know massage for sure . Had very wired experience with him , However I just visited there yesterday and they have a brand new Asian guy called Jason. He is very handsome and masculine. Great massage skills . Definitely worth for trying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worth for trying that. Totally understand your situation , I had Dylan for a four hands massage and felt he not only wasn’t good at massage but also put lots of attitude if you didn’t tip him well . Jason (is hella handsome and strong Asian ) &Michael( worked there for a while ) you need book them instead of Dylan . That’s my tips for Babylon .

If you manage to come often enough that he remembers you, you get his best massage, which is incredible. Mike does behave strangely, I am not into his massage. And Jason upsells so, not for me. dreamboy13, bond, TopVolt and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iffiojey Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Has anyone had a table shower/massage combo at Utopia? Is it worth it? Are there other good places that have this combo as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a “must” as far as I’m concerned. If your wallet is a tad too fat... do before AND after. ArchiGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamboy13 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I am sorry about your experience With Dylan, I have had many Sessions with Dylan and he has never disappointed me. He always Steps up and delivers, He has a lot of experience and knows his job. He is always very pleasant, I have to agree with this. He def knows what he is doing and take his time, knows my pressure preferences and is a lot of fun. And I’ve had a LOT of massages in and out of these spas (as I’m sure more of you have). I havent gone back in a while as I want something new and different but Dylan is usually great for me. Sucks he doesn’t work for some of the others.

Exactly! Agree with all points here! And Michael just sucks. He’s so bizarre. First time I’ve ever felt like really just leaving. Usually I put up with stuff but oooooof, was not jiving with him.

Guest fm0322 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Has anyone had a table shower/massage combo at Utopia? Is it worth it? Are there other good places that have this combo as well? I’m the atypical skeptic about table showers. I have had many at Utopia. The room is clean, the water temp perfect, and they use a fairly good quality product. It’s a great value overall. For me, the plastic covering the table becomes slippery once gel is used and I feel like an eel about to slide off. Also laying on a wet plastic surface feels weird. It’s a personal reaction. I am not a huge fan of someone washing me. I’ve had a few private masseurs who begin the session with a shower. I like that very much! That said, having a shower after a good massage let’s you leave totally refreshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ sniper Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Yeah my only issue about the table shower is feeling slightly unsafe with the slippery surface and the hard floor. My balance is not the best and turning over/getting up is precarious. Redwine56 and Alxandra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Intosmoothmuscles Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I guess we are rebuilding this NYC massage thread again. The idea of separating comments by place is not really working. Too disconnected. Anyway.. I went back to utopia these hot last few days and finally got Victor. The massage was strong and controlled. The strokes were a mix of long and short ones. He knows how to get the inguinal area nice and loose. He even stretched me. I can tell he understand anatomy well. I haven’t had a non Asian masseur in a long time and I was very pleased at the end. Looking forward to the scrub combo next time. Edited June 18, 2018 by Intosmoothmuscles ArchiGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Intosmoothmuscles Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just got a massage at East men Spa and I called in advance to get the much talked about Leo. The massage was on the strong side and he incorporated some shiatsu techniques. Over all not bad. He was a little uneven and he seemed to be focused more on my left side . He is not shy about going after knots wherever they might be including the butt muscles . It was a little painful but he told me to let him know if it was too much . The last few minutes where somewhat mechanical and I felt he was just going thorough the paces. The massage was a few minutes short of a whole hour and I got charged $66. I always leave a tip that is the same as the charge. (Unless I am having an awful experience.) I can definitely feel the knots that have been released. Like I said in the past there is not much of a choice in this part of the city otherwise I am sure they could lower the price a bit considering the premises.

+ EVdude Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I am sure they could lower the price a bit considering the premises. If you go before 4.30pm it’s $55 rather $66. Agree, I do wish there were more well appointed facilities in the lower east side. I see Leo regularly at EMS. He’s definitely evolves with repeat business. + Intosmoothmuscles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCJohn Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Question for the group. Always good to hear the reviews and then make an appointment with a good/sexy/hot/fun/recommended masseur. But sometimes it’s also fun to just show up and take a chance. Go potluck. Think a couple guys have discussed liking this as well. So the question is, what is/are the best spa(s) to go potluck and show up and see who’s available? Any recommendations? Thanks!
