This is a very bad massage salon. If you do not mind bait and switch of girls and you like to high tips. This is the
place for you.
The location is not hard to find near the metro Monk The lobby
it's self is alway empty and you need to ring first. You can not see
inside before someone opens the door. You will be greeted by a massage
girl, or the manager, that will propose to take
you in. They will ask you how many minutes then off you go, after paying,
into 1 of 3 rooms. They offer table and mattress. If you ask they can
present other girls if you are lucky, but by default you will get the
girl that greeted you at the door. The selection of girls is very wide and extra services are all on the table. If you like selection and options... this is the only positive points I can say about this place.They list all the available girls on their web site. This can help out selecting what day for what girl.
This salon is not very clean. The lobby to the rooms a little run down. The salon has only
one common shower. So if you like walking naked around, be warned. You could end up waiting for a shower. The towels
and other consumable are in bad condition.
Prices are
very average for this salon, not expensive or cheap. The girls will
offer you the special for really cheap, below market price. They tend to
do long a massage and a short extra services.They offer also all inclusive massage services for 30 minutes. Check the web site for details. It is possible to have a wonderful time at this place. But I only recommend it to experiences massage going people that know when good is good and bad is bad.
Massages not so good in general and not all the girls seem to know the basics when it comes to muscle tension and pressure points. This is not really a place I would go for back pain.

4912 de Verdun 514-769-6336
I've went to this salon a few times over the year before writing this review. This place is the poster child for a hit or miss
situation for any new client.
The location was simple enough to find and is near Verdun metro. It is located in front of a church, so be warned. The lobby it's self is alway empty. You need to ring before they let you in the front door. You can be greeted by a massage girl or the manager, witch is also a girl. The salon seem to have a girl of residence, practically always there. The salon changes owner every few months. So you never know what you are going to find. They ask you how many minutes then off you go. You could be ask to pay before interring the room or when you are already in. They have 3 rooms and a sona. They offer table and a mattress in each room. If you ask they can present other girls but by default they each have a turn in front. The girls seem to change very often. The selection of girls and extra services are moderate. You can find many types of girls depending on the owner of the month. But typically Asians are the most probable ind
This is an OK clean salon, from the lobby to the rooms and each room has a shower. The towels and other consumable are in top condition.
Prices are very average for this salon, not expensive or cheap. Most of girls are very reasonable when it come to tips, accepting market value with a smile and even under market prices with no negotiation. Most of the girls don't offer you a tipping menu. You will need to tell them what you want and then leave a tip. Some will tell you what they would like as a tip.
Massages are really good in general and most the girls seem to know the basics when it comes to muscle tension and pressure points. If you just want a therapeutic massage or a relaxing one, this place can offer a good service for a good price.

367 Henri-Bourassa.Est/St-Denis 514-858-6666
I tried this place out because I was in this part of town. It could be a hit or miss situation for any new client.
The location was hard to find and is near Henri-Bourassa metro. It is located in an apartment building with a parking space at the back. You need to ring and then they check you though a camera. After the buzzing you in go up some stairs, turn left and you will be greeted at the door. You can be greeted by a massage girl or the manager. They ask you how many minutes then off you go. They have around 6 rooms, some with shower and some with out. The main room is on your right as you walk in. You could be ask to pay before interring the room or when you are already in. They offer table and mattress. If you ask they can present other girls but by default they each have a turn in front. The girls seem to change very often. The selection of girls and extra services are wide. You can only have an Asian girl at this salon but some times they do offer others.
This is a very clean salon, from the lobby to the rooms. The towels and other consumable are in top condition. Maybe bring your own soap...
Prices are very average for this salon, not expensive or cheap. Some of girls are very reasonable when it come to tips, accepting market value with a smile and no negotiation. Most of the girls offer you a tipping menu. They also seem to be more inclined to offer the upper items on the menu. You will need to tell them what you want and they well tell you what they like as a tip.
Massages are very good in general and all the girls seem to know the basics when it comes to muscle tension and pressure points. If you just want a therapeutic massage or a relaxing one, this is not my first choice in salons.

How to know if you should go or not
Many experience in massage salon can be very nice. But on the other hand you can hit a nightmare situation....
Things to know to avoid having a bad experience.
Things to know to avoid having a bad experience.
- Call first. If the person seems rood or impolite. Do not go.
- When walking in if the girl gives you a bad first impression, walk away.
- If they say many girls on the phone and you only get to see one, walk away.
- When they do not respect their promotions (ex 50% off 1h), walk away
- When they push you into a room and ask you to pay, walk away
- You are proposed a certain person and then they switch, walk away
- If they try to charge over market price for the room, walk away
- If the selection of girls is not want you expected or want, walk away
- The place looks like a rat hole.... RUN AWAY...
- If at any point you feel pushed or bullied into something, just say stop and walk away

This place is a very good massage salon. I went with a couple of friends to get an idea of what this place was about
The location was simple enough to find. The lobby it's self is clean and you are always greeted nicely. You can be greeted by a massage girl or the manager. They ask you how many minutes then off you go, after paying, into 1 of 3 rooms. They offer table, mattress only. If you ask they can present other girls but by default they each have a turn in front. This makes it fare and good working conditions for the girls. The girls seem to change very often but the manager takes good care of them. But some girls seem to be part of the regular staff. The selection of girls and extra services are wide. You can always have an Asian, White, Spanish, Italian, Lebanese and more.
This is a very clean salon, from the lobby to the rooms and each room has a shower. The towels and other consumable are in top condition. Try to get the back room, it's the best one. The deco is funky.
Prices are very average for this salon, not expensive or cheap. Some of girls are very reasonable when it come to tips, accepting market value with a smile and no negotiation. But most of them will offer you a tipping menu and, if you don't negotiate they will charge you market prices. They can be a little cheep when it comes to time.
Massages are good in general and all the girls seem to know the basics when it comes to muscle tension and pressure points. Hard, medium and soft tissue massage are all available
This is a Very good place and I recommend it.

100 de l'eglise 514-933-2013
This salon was fond on the Internet. I went a couple of times but will not be a repeat for be. It is a good place but not my style
The location is really good, next to the metro de l'Eglise. Parking is hard to find but still possible. No lobby, just rooms, it's a house converted to a massage place. You need to ring at the front door to get in. You are greeted by the only massage girl available. She ask you how many minutes then off you go, after paying, into 1 of 2 rooms. They have mattress only. The girl don't seem to change very often. This is good for repeat business, for the clients and the girls. The selection extra services are limited. They try to be more of massage oriented place. You can only have an Asian girl at this salon.
This is a reasonably clean salon, the rooms have no showers. They have a single wash room with a shower. The towels and other consumable are in OK condition. This is a typical setup for a Asian run salon. But they have tried to make it look nice and they have nice background music.
Prices are high for this salon and they often offer gift cards for returning clients. When it come to tips, accepting market value with a smile and no negotiation. A option menu is available on demand, if you don't negotiate, they will accept market price.
Massages are very good in general and the basics are covered when it comes to muscle tension and pressure points.

JOUVANCE SANTE, 6700 Sherbrooke W, 514-483-5586
I went to this place after reading after a recommendation from a friend
The location is simple enough to find, just west of down town. The front door is always unlock when they are open. This avoids the waiting outside and the look you get from people walking on the street. The lobby has a waiting room on the left side. Take a seat and wait to be served. They have a camera to see who is at the door for security reasons that they monitor from the back. You are greeted by a massage girl or the manager, who is a woman. They ask how many minutes then off you go, after paying, into one of the rooms. They offer mattress no tables. If you ask they can present other girls but by default they bring you to the room and you get a surprise, good or bad. The selection of extra services seem to be wide. The girls also seem more interested in the more complete options then simple ones. You can only have an Asian girl at this salon.
This salon is not very clean, from the lobby to the rooms but each room has a shower. The towels and other consumable are in OK condition.
Prices are very average to low for this salon. They have an early bird special before 2pm. Some of girls are very reasonable when it come for tips, accepting market value but with some negotiation. Most of them will offer you a tipping menu and, if don't negotiate they will charge you market prices. I've had a few bad experiences where the girls pretend not to understand English to get more money out of you.
Massages are good in in general and all the girls seem to be more into the tipping then the service. They also tend to finish on time.

This is a salon that has probably the same owner as my previous post. I've went to this salon a few times before writing this review. The service was good for the price.
The location was simple enough to find and is near St-Henri metro. The lobby it's self is alway empty. You need walk in the first door and ring at the second door before they let you in. You will be greeted by the manager, she also offers massages. She will ask you how many minutes then off you go. You could be ask to pay before interring the room or when you are already in. They have 3 rooms. They offer table and mattress. If you ask she can present other girls but by default she will send you one to your room or go herself. The selection of girls and extra services are moderate. You can only have an Asian girl at this salon.
