Does anyone have any intel on this new Skylight Spa on Hastings in North Burnaby?

I am not sure where to put this... as I don't want to muck up my next review with a bunch of negative stuff at the beginning... but I think this is intel worth reporting.

I saw these ads coming up recently (I think starting yesterday, Monday March 16) for a new shop opening across the street from Safeway in North Burnaby.

https://www.leolist.cc/personals/fe...st_new_sexy_girls_big_tits_slim_hips-11343284

I was planning to go to an AMP today, and this is right in my usual commute... so I was going to give it a try. TOFTT... as they say.

The ad says to text... so I thought I would find out what info that would get me. I text. No response. 20 minutes go by. I drive over there. I go down the alley and look for a back entrance. Nothing stands out as obvious. I don't see a sign, but I did only drive by one time. I park and walk to the front.

Sure enough, it is where it is supposed to be... right by Don Oso's Mexican restaurant (which I do recommend... almost no seating, but great food) in the middle of the block.... on the North side of Hastings right across from Safeway.

The light-up "OPEN" sign is on. The door is open. I walk in. It looks great. As nice an AMP as I have seen. Like a small version of Swan Lake type vibe. Clean and professional looking. Very new... modern... professionally done... or renovated... or whatever it is. It smells new. There is a big Maneki-Neko / Zhāo cái māo /招财猫 swinging away on top of the front counter... and General Guan Yu 關羽 is up on his shelf behind the counter... watching over things... so this is obviously a Chinese/Hong Kong-type shop.

No one there. Like.... no one... at all.

Seriously... a few minutes go by. I walk around the waiting area. I don't hear anything. I little alarm went off when I opened the door, but no one came out.

They have... I think 3... big massage chairs in the front... like the kind you see for foot massage in Thailand in the front of the shop.... and a TV across from that.

Hallways lead to rooms on both the left and the right.

I decide... "O.k., I guess I will leave. Let's try calling out first." Then I actually hear a Chinese woman's voice... seemingly talking on the phone. I call out... "Hello... anyone here?"

She comes out... a 65 year old (or thereabouts) Chinese woman in a baseball cap.... "Oh sorry... no available... I decorating... you come back later..."

That was more than enough for me... "O.k., no problem. Bye."

I decide to drive to New Star (a couple minutes away). Now my phone goes off with a reply text:

______________________________________


So.... 7451 Shaw Ave. Chilliwack.... that is the place in that crummy old 3-story apartment building in Sardis... that has been around for years. I went there once and it was kinda..... uhhhhh.... I think I will stick with Vancouver/Burnaby/Richmond from now on.

Are they expanding their operation into Burnaby now? I believe the same group is in Abbotsford as well.

A side note about New Star:

So... I still want to do something... as I got myself into that "headspace." I park over by New Star and go in. Annie is happy to see me as always. But this time she asks me to walk into the room behind her little front counter.

I was mentioning in one of my New Star reviews that the line-up girls seem to come from two different directions some of the time. This is why. They come out of the girls "bull pen" (with the curtain) and from this little room (as it has a couch to sleep on). Annie says it will just be a "couple minutes"... and she will have a room for me. "Have a seat. Do you want water?"

I stand there for awhile... look at all the stuff on the walls... all the Chinese trinkets.... about 5 minutes go by.... fuck... how busy is this place right now. No rooms at all?

Then the other Mamasan... who looks like a small version of the current Japanese Prime Minister ( :ROFLMAO: ) ... who I have never seen before... comes into the room....."Have a seat. Do you want water?" .... I am thinking.... ugh... no. I don't want this at all. I want to see a line-up... or leave. I don't say a word other than, "No. I'm fine."

Then she says.... "It will just be about 10 minutes," as she looks at her watch and then goes to the front counter and starts flipping through the book.

I sit down on the chair.... for about 10 seconds.... and it hits me. Nope. I'm done.

I walk out the door of the little room and toward the front door. "I don't want to wait. Thanks. Bye." and I walk out.

Maybe a bit harsh but... Annie said a "couple minutes," and then 5 minutes later is was.... "about 10 minutes," and that is going to be a "show-stopper" for me about 99% of the time.

My rule... increasingly... is "I do not reward bullshit with money." Lots and lots of prostitutes working in this city folks.... Hell... there are now 4 shops along Hastings between the Highway and a block East of Willingdon.

So.... my playtime fund is still very full..... I will HOPEFULLY have some kind of review to share with you guys soon.

I am also planning to do something different (and a lot more expensive) with a Japanese agency girl and filming very soon... so throwing away more money on whatever New Star lady wasn't already picked during rush hour.... maybe not. I'll try again some other time.

Oh really? Can I? Am I allowed to come over now and give you money?

After you were running ads on leolist starting around 11:00AM... with the door open and the "OPEN" sign on... and no one there to provide any service... or even greet customers... but yah.... now I have the privilege of giving you my money. Got it! I'll be right over! :LOL:

Geez..... no wonder this TOFTT stuff isn't popular. So much bullshit out there.

I guess regulars... known quantities... are popular for a reason.

If anyone ever does try this shop. Let me know. Unless I hear something REALLY positive... I think that pretty much crosses it off the list for me.

Had a similar experience last Sunday morning, happened to be in that neighbourhood and saw the "OPEN" sign on around 11 am. Walked in the front area on a whim and waited a minute or so, eventually an older Asian lady (no baseball cap) came out and asked how long I wanted to stay. I asked to "meet the girls" first. "Girls???" she said, in a tone that said "I'm the only one here". I left.

But but…their ad says they have…
6 Beauty Asian Girls with amazing skills and busty bodies

So how could there have been none of them available when you went? I guess they were all just busy with other customers or out getting food when you went!!
🤦‍♂️

Greatly appreciate all the recon work you did here. And reading your other review about the bad experience you had at Yifeng it is 1000% true that there are some days the pooning gods are just saying “no bueno!” and those days I’ve learned to just say “nope! Time to just go home for a little Pornhub and Pamela Handerson!”

Wow. Pathetic. If the woman I saw was not the Mamasan and/or some other kind of "non-service provider" associated with the business.... if she is the service provider.... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I hope this outfit has deep pockets... because they are going to need them... and they are going to lose a lot of money.

The woman was older and substantially less attractive than any of the Aunties in my Auntie thread. As in... total "no go".... "thanks.... I'll just masturbate" territory.

This was the correct answer.... you so so right.... I should have just stayed home. Try again tomorrow.

I guess it all comes back to the original idea of this website: reviews. Honest accounts that give intel to guys about how to spend their money on quality service. Review, Review, review... guys. Even if you don't want to do what I do... way too long... write at least a couple of sentences and give us an idea how it went. The more info the better.

I think it is so important that all of us in this hobby work harder to review... including me... and report the bad experiences. I know it looked like I gave glowing reviews to many people for a stretch there... but that was the reality. Those providers... are all awesome: Metrotown "Miya," Sole Spa "Eva," Mansion group "Sugar," "Sandy," "Sweet," "Emma," Swan Lake "Theresa".... "Danina" at Linda's... these are all absolutely solid recommendations. The Aunties are what they are... if you like Aunties... then my reviews... and the contributions of others there... give you great intel.

Recently... my stuff is a lot more hit-and-miss: Yifeng Massage: "Bobo" is good; "Monica" was super hot but restrictive; "Nana" was an unmitigated disaster that ended my relationship with the shop. New Star: "Miya," good but restrictive; "April, good but can't take dick; "Selena"/"Celina," hot and good suck/fuck but no kissing and massive overcharging.

So.. I feel like I am providing decent intel. Let's work together to try and direct our $$$ to the people providing good service. Otherwise... if there are hardly any reviews outside of the big agencies... where almost all of the providers are really good (and expensive).... we can expect a lot more bullshit operations popping up along Hastings and everywhere else.

If anyone else does make it into this new Skylight place... by accident or otherwise... let us know. The set-up legitimately looks great. Jesus... I think they can find 4-5 decent looking providers in a city full of Chinese prostitutes... sufficient to have at least a few in there on weekday. God... what kind of business model is this... totally fake pics.... you show up... "Hey ... we have no one.... we just keep the renovation contractors in business!" :oops:

I new experience will come soon... and will be better. It honestly can't get too much worse than last night ("Nana" at Yifeng).

I agree.
Don Oso's provides excellent Mexican food.
Took a bit as I had SkyLight confused with SkyLine which has been around for some time.
Sneaky, this "new" place.

Interesting..? I had really good actual reflexology there about 2 months ago the very milfy 40yr? woman with a low-cut blouse...big tits I didn't get the feeling that anything more was happening there??
Oh... interesting. Thanks for this.

Those pictures in the link you provided. That is the place. Absolutely. 100%. That is the outside. The current signage. And the big massage chairs opposite the TV in the front area... that can clearly be seen in those pictures in the link.... I was just in there yesterday afternoon. It just looked more stripped-down and new. Maybe some new paint and other renovations.

I think this location has been a few different things. I thought it was a doctors office at one point, or a chiropractor. And a legit massage place at one point.

However... based on my investigations yesterday... it seems to have been taken over by a Chinese sexual services outfit out of Chilliwack.

That is the way to pay the bills... I guess. They need the girls though. Real ones. Hot ones. Ones that provide good service. I have seen no evidence of that so far.

The pics are obviously all fake. The lady that was in there yesterday... like... "no way." It wasn't even close guys... and I am adventurous... I am the "Asian Aunties" thread guy! :ROFLMAO:

I have recommended 60 year old "Kiki" to lots of people over the years, and I will also see her again at some point. I like her. That woman yesterday... "no way."

If they get some nice girls... I will go... even with the bullshit that has already happened. I just don't want to constantly be taking hits for the team. I've already uncovered a good amount of bad experiences recently. (see my reviews... particularly "Selena"/"Celina" and "Nana").

They are really pushing the “grand opening” ads on Leolist massage pretty hard now. I’m sure the grand opening will last 10 years like at many other spas around town!
Now down to “3 Beauty Asian girls…”though!😂
And they gave names “Vivian, Cindy and Nikki” for today anyways.
Funny how 3 girls suddenly quit…they had 6 before!😂

Definitely let us know what you see if you pop in and take a look at a line-up.

I might also try and take a look at some point.

This is the AMP game in a nutshell, in my view: it is all about getting nice looking ladies that will provide "good" (meaning less restrictive) service.

It is not that easy. Any jerk can lease a ground-floor retail unit... get a businesses licence... renovate the place... it is the girls that make the business. Without that... it is all pointless.

Brining in imports from China (Vietnam, etc.) takes connections to those countries and people that can assist with visa applications, travel arrangements, accommodations, etc. Lots of work.

Hiring locals... EVERYONE tries to do it... continuously. It is not easy from what I can see, as.... there are like 50+ of these places in the Greater Vancouver area now!

If a shop is known to have lots of (generous) customers... ladies will start to try and pick up shifts there... but how do you get to that point? It is chicken and egg.

If you have good steady customers... girls will want to work there.... but without the knowledge that they can walk in (or book an hour ahead, or whatever) and find a nice girl that they like... guys will go elsewhere. I mean... New Butterfly is right there. Dream & City and New Star are just down the street. Face2Feet is just down the hill.... and it just expands from there. And the micros, independents and agency gals are everywhere too.

If someone is fairly hot... and they are cool with sucking dicks... doing CIM and whatever... they can get a job ANYWHERE. Today. If someone is decent looking... under 45... and willing to provide half-decent service... they can get a job pretty much anywhere... today. The number of people wanting to make money in this industry seems to outstrip the availability of service providers... as it doesn't seem to be possible to just bring in a whole bunch of young ladies from a Southeast Asian country... like they do in some countries.

I am assuming that this shop... given what they texted me... is going to bring in ladies from their Chilliwack and Abbotsford locations... at least until they can try and find (or import) more. From what I understand... and from my own one-time experience in Chilliwack... I think those ladies tend to be older Asian Aunties. Okay... but... that won't really compete with New Star and company... let alone Sole Spa, Freya, Mansion One and others further West.

Honestly... all the fake pics don't inspire any confidence in me. It says to me that they don't have anyone worth showing, not some privacy concern. Privacy... you can blur out the face. And the one or two real pics look... uhhh... a bit low end.

I decided to wander in and take a look as I happened to pass by on foot. Upon entry , there was a 20 something young Asian girl curled up on a lazyboy in a blanket playing games on her phone. She gets up to greet me and says ' How long you want to stay?' She was kind of average looking and I asked if she was available and she said no. She said 'only 1 girl working'. I asked to look and she ducked into back . She came out and said 'wait a minute' . She then asked me to follow her to the back. Through a door in a dark room , I could barely make out the person standing within. As my eyes adjusted there was a long haired Asian women looking rather old, she was in a neglige thingy and not a bad body but it was hard to tell. I asked to turn on the lights and the young receptionist said. 'no, we don't do that' . I'm thinking WTF??? Then I ask, how much is the service. She replied $ 160 for 45 min for 1/2 service. I just laughed and walked out. Don't waste your time on this one Pooners.

Thank you for providing the recon service!
GOOD LAWD….enticing us horn dogs in with the cutie sitting out front only to find the old troll waiting in the dark room!
That’s a thing of nightmares for sure!!

No I think guys should visit the place. Then ask to see the line up.....and walk out if you don't like what you see. That tells the shop owners to try harder in staffing the place better. They are in a very competitive market. It isn't like they are the only shop out in Hope so you get what you get. I am sure they understand the simple business market as they are in Chilliwack and Abbotsford. Good luck to them in finding the staff. A new place like that can be a good draw for a provider. No competition from other ladies so all they need is 8-10 customers a day and she would be making the same money as a place like SL.

Had to see it for myself. 2 girls, old large lunch lady looking mamasan and a tall husky Asian girl. They quoted a minimum rate for the service I would consider. Off by a long shot based on what others would ask with actual nice looking girls. Tried to see if she would haggle and give me a hj/bj herself. Nope, I will never know the touch of that big lunch lady mitts and burly forearms
