Sunkissed Tanning Salon
- Thread starter vanner
- Start date
I remember reading some posts a while ago about a hottie in there who had left. Extras were on the menu. I was in the area eating and noticed what might be a tasty treat going in and out of the place. I couldn't get a great view but her body seemed pretty good. Someone needs to TOFTT I guess.

Allow me to remind most of you who have been around for a while, and those who are a bit newer, places like this are not a topic of discussion on PERB.
Legit spas and nail salons (and I believe this would include tanning salons) offering massage are not to be discussed in open forum.
PM's, maybe so, but not part of the general discussion.

Legit Spas ???
How can you classify them as legit, they charge for extra service. They are no different than any other place, infact Main street , S Granville , Cambie and Richmond, are mecas, for so called legit Spas. The only difference is the price for extra service is usually much cheaper, maybe that's why thoes that have been around for a while don't talk about them?
It is not I who makes the rules here. Take it up with the Mods if you do not like what I have written.
I agree with all you have said, but this is PERB policy.
PM's, different story.
Most of the women working at these places have boyfriends/husbands/children and as such, do not care to have what may go on behind closed doors openly discussed somewhere where these loved ones might someday discover what they do.
These spas are so competitive these days (too many of them) due to growth of asian immigration. (asian restaurants as well) Because of a glut of spas, most are moving towards extra services just to pay the bills.
A sp in a micro is quite different, they do not have family in town (most anyway) they use different names, they pull up stakes and move, change phone number, name, etc and maintain some privacy through this "highly" anonymous and mobile capability.
The presumed legit spas, salons do not afford quite as anonymous workplace so some discretion on our part would be appropriate.
There are ways of indicating what might be available and how happy someone was with the experience without going into names and specifics which would compromise someone's privacy. Most of the veterans here at perb have become quite adept at this and email each other for more private information.

summerbreeze, that was a nice explanation, thank you very much. Judging from some of the history on here I understand there was some kind of controversy a couple of years ago when it became known rather publicly that one of the Spa type places was giving extras. I take it that comments and reviews on here were came up when the place was googled by a regular salon patron, or something like that anyway
Legit or not Legit
I totally understand the need to be sensative about certain situations, but from my experience, their are Spas on the Granville , Cambie, Main. Kiingsway. Broadway and Richmond routes that don't meet that overview you put forward Summerbreeze.The owners of these Spas will call up their customers at certain times, and I don't need to get into what the call is about. That's the difference, and they should be reviewed like any other type of Massage, R&T establishment.

Okay, Thomas, you win.
Go ahead and write a review of one of your experiences at one of these places. Then sit back and wait to see how long it stays up before it is removed.
It is PERB policy: what part of that statement do you not understand.

sfmike is right about the policy,
A few years back one of the places on granville would call up and have reviews removed when they were posted. This is one of the places which would give regulars a call if there were new girls working. Probably wanting to drum up business, give the regulars first shot at breaking the newbies in, maybe even ease the newbies into the business with some hand picked gents.
I don't see these as being the same though, one is a published media free for any subscriber to view and the other is a one to one private conversation.
Anyway, for what ever reason Perb has a policy regarding reviews of sw and spas/salons which contatin specific details like location and names. More than likely out of respect for the paid up sp members.

Legit or not legit
I would think that the issue of whether or not a place is "legit" depends not on what services are performed there, but on what form of license/establishment is in place.
Bodyrub parlours are licensed as such and while they generally aren't too keen on reviews either, having one posted is not generally the basis for its immediate closure. A tanning (or nail) salon could be shut down immediately for operating as a brothel.
When AMPs are raided the police typically only look for illegal workers.

It seems like you have taken this to its logical conclusion when you referred to this type of place as a brothel. That is hardly the case, and it has not even been suggested that FS is available in such places.
To REVIEW OR NOT TO REVIEW
SFMIKE I think you are confusing me with doughtful Thomas, that wouldn't be me. It is well known that the so called legit SPAS advertise on a regular basis in the GS, COUR. and on CRAIGSLIST, and these are the ones we are talking about, especially when it comes to Granville , Main , Cambie, DT, Richmond, Broadway, Kingsway and the North Shore to name a few areas. Its when you go deeper that the issues of keeping a tight lip comes into play, were the circumstances are much different not only in certain SPAS but other types of Health facilities, thats were I would draw the line completley. Maybe we can comprimise by using RB or HSDS or EVEG, as examples. Not use name of attendents, even though most are not using their real names. And by the way Whackjob , most licenced Est. working, have a licence for spa massages, it is part of their training, and tanning salons also offer skin care by licenced attendents. So to REVIEW OR NOT TO REVIEW.

Spas / Beauty Salons
Further to my comments re the famous and not so famous establishments on the Granville strip, such as BR , HSDS and of course other areas of the LM, instead of advertising in the Estetics section of the classifieds of the GS, they place the ADs for massage in the Bodywork section, along side all the others, this therefore makes them fair game to be reviewed and not afforded any special privalages ,as to what establishments can be reviewed and the thoes that can't.The only difference is in the Bodywork section ADs they use only their phone numbers and not their business name, but they do refer to Facials, Waxing, Pedicures, and of course with a big emphsis on Massage. Maybe reviews, just using the last four didgets of the phone numbers would be appropiate?

You continue to make your case to the wrong audience.
Address your concerns to the Mods, and if you succeed there are many members who would be very happy with the results, including myself. Lots of luck on that one.
