With quite a few changes in the local line up and the ongoing new normal that's changing by the day, I thought it's a good time to re-introduce the agency thread for people that are relatively new to the scene. I knew it helped me tremendously when I first started. In alphabetical order.
Island's Finest (IF)
Their location is actually shown on google search which I don't know if it is an intentional decision by the management or not. Agencies typically have their address hidden so it does not draw attention from its neighbors and also offers a bit more discretion to the clients (People can't search the address and know that you are going into an agency etc...). It is just outside the downtown core close to Fort and Cook, with plenty of free 2-hour parking. I like the location as it's fairly discrete; however I am also a bit worried for them because it is somewhat close to a school. I don't know the law that well but it is generally frowned upon by the local municipality to have an agency close by the school. I personally don't see a problem as IF seems to be a legit business that is professional and respectful of its neighbor. It offers the chance to meet the in-house service providers(SP) one by one in a private room and you can let the receptionist know which SP you would like to book with. That certainly helps the matching process as you get to ask the SP in person about her menu and extras. Since IF's policy is not to have the general menu and extra listed on the site or discussed on the phone, the line-up does help reduce mismatch. The facility from shower to the actual rooms are all clean and well furnished with all the required amenity (mouth wash, scent-free soap and I believe I even see disposable toothbrush and tooth paste). They even have an ATM onsite, which you might need because the extra is only to be discussed in person. I have only met 2 providers there so far but they are both very well-spoken, friendly, attractive, and very professional. Its hour is roughly 10am to midnight.
Seduction Unlimited (SU)
Actually the very 1st agency I ever visited so walking the staircase upstairs last week actually brought back lots of memory, mostly sweet with one or two encounters I do wish to forget. Located in a very busy area close to the market square (even at late night), getting thru it's buzzer always feels like a James Bond thing. The receptionist actually took my temperature and requested the use of hand-sanitizer for covid measure. That is a good thing because I felt that for the longest time SU's management has been somewhat absent and not really managing it to make any improvement. At least, they are making some change to take Covid seriously. That is a good sign! That being said, I walked into the shower, and the fluorescent light was flickering and barely working. There is the hot water tank there and pretty much a small hole in the wall that will fit exactly one person and that is the shower right there. I am not plumber but I am sure it is not up to code. The shower room is actually scary. I could be wrong but someone worked there told me that was the only shower. I just failed to see how something as important as the showing facility for an agency could be so overlooked. It is like a fine dining restaurant with only one microwave in the kitchen to cook all its food. I believe there is also room with hot tub that you could use but I haven't never been in there. I also wonder if there is another dedicated shower for the SPs to use. SP's menu and extras are also to be discussed in person with the SP. I believe way back then, there is a photo album at the agency to look before you choose but I have never requested it. I have met some really really wonderful SPs at SU. Many of them did strike out as Independent after a while and they turn out to be some of the best independent providers (Indy) in Victoria.
I was told by a very reputable Indy that used to work there that there were a few party girls in SU and I personally had 2 encounters with SPs that were working while partying. I pass no judgement and I do believe SPs that use substance should have a safe place to work so zero-substance-tolerance policy might not be the best way to go. I just wanted to point it out if this is not your thing. There is a difference between partying at home and partying at work. I don't necessary mind but I would prefer none-party SPs, especially at work. That being said, I only had 2 out of all the visits over the years so it is not really a problem. Also I met one of the party girl actually at class choice first: first meeting no problem, 2nd meeting no problem, 3rd meeting she was felling asleep in the middle of it which she said because she was watching netflix all night.Got let go there, I met her at SU again and realized it was definitely not because she was watching netflix all night and then the other SP that also worked there told me what was really going on; otherwise I would never know. It opens roughly from 11am to 3am so if you are looking for late night option, SU is most likely the choice. I just wish they would invest in a better shower and it will awesome if they have more than one as it is actually quite big inside. If you are at the room on the right, you would have to walk all the way across 5 others rooms to the left wing to get to the shower. Lastly, parking could take a while and if you appointment is longer than an hour, you are better off parking the private lots that allows you to pay for more than an hour and half.
Sweet VIP (SVIP)
SPs' General menu and extras clearly communicated on the site. Consensus is that SVIP is the most well managed agency in Victoria. The main location is facing Douglas around Johnson so it is quite busy at all hours. They also have a condo location that's around the crystal pool area and is very discrete with lots free parking nearby. I have met almost everyone on the roster over that years and I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience. Everyone I met there is smart, friendly, attractive, and wonderful to the core. In the Main office location, the shower and sink are in different rooms so if you don't have your own toothbrush or mouthwash in the bag like me to fresh up, you would have to go to one room to use the mouth wash and another to take a shower. Each room is well furnished and thoughtful mirror placement. SVIP is very community-minded and I would say is helping the industry towards a better place. Communication is super easy and if you have any special request, SVIP is quite open in helping setting it up. The accessibility campaign they launched back then is something that will be recognized in the future as a progressive human right issue that is way ahead of its time. The general hour is 10am to 10pm. Like any downtown location, parking could be tricky sometimes. The back-door at the main location used to be more discrete and easier to access but with the installation of the new gate, the front door is actually a better option now.
Class Choice (CCE)
Still listed as temporarily closed since March. Located near the Mayfair mall area. More discrete than other downtown agencies but the business across the location always have people smoking there so it is slightly annoying because you are always being watched by smokers if you go there before 5 or 6pm. The menu is listed on the site but cost to extra is not listed. They revamped the site and renovated the interior right before Covid hit. I personally actually the old website a bit more as the old one is just a bit easier to navigate. I won't go into detail as they are still closed. I would say its management style is similar to SU but it is doing a bit more to update things than SU in the past couple years. Hopefully they get to open again and continue to improve.
