The sign still says “TikTok Massage” at the moment
Why do massage shops even need massive signs in the window?
Do they expect walk ins at 10am? guys just cruising by going oh boy ill duck in for a 45min handy real quick now ive seen there is a shop here!
No most guys plan out there adventuring ahead of time, they book or they travel to there, I don't even punt on my side of town I drive 20mins away from my house to shops out of the way, I know where I am going.
I think having the cafe next door does turn guys off abit, so why not just have a non descript address sign, without the giant words MASSAGE in the window.
It seems like something they all just do cause everyone else does it without much thought, could always have a sign to put on after dark, but keep it behind a curtain during the day when cafes full of grandmas and mums.
Ive been to poppy/take 5/5star and everywhere in between, ive driven past probably 50 other shops ive never once gone into a shop I have driven by cause I saw a sign out front.
It's like Vegas. The signs and the lights are excessive. They promise exactly that... excess.
I dont know if you have been to Tiktok nundah before, but there is two massive signs out front that both say massage on them and a very popular cafe chain with outdoor seating thats full pretty much all day long.Quote:

Most punters value discretion even if they are not married or what not.
I personally would feel much more comfortable, if the signage just said Poppys or Opium whatever on it, not the have MASSAGE plastered all over.
I think the upside of signage is pretty much zero unless you want clueless women occasionally wandering in and the downside is pretty impactful due to it's location, if there is prominent massage signage I wouldn't bother go there myself, there are other places like westone with a quiet back door that work.

You are right.Quote:

Is this place in Gladstone rd HH ?Quote:

Surely this limits business? I would imagine most guys will avoid the shop due to this.

Personally, I'm pretty happy we are gonna have top girls on the Northside. I don't care about the name and as I'm an afternoon/evening customer I don't care about the cafe. I do care about top quality service with top girls.
I've visited this shop plenty of times when it was Tiktok as did many other punters on here. As a customer, it seems obvious that the more shops and the more competition the better it is for us.
Of course, Herpetology, has a business that will have to complete with Opium so I can understand his negativity. Other punters should be happy they now have a top option on the Northside. Herpetology- I guess we'll see....
I've added a new page for Opium looks good.Quote:

There are heaps of choices nearby, and you won’t have anyone awkwardly watching you over their latte.Quote:

This would have been the best concept for this location.Quote:

Personally, I own my habits, and don't have an issue walking in there. I 'called booyar' and had the first appointment in the 'big shower' last Friday. I've never encountered that shower so clean. I'd go further to say that the cleanliness of that place is THE metric that it's usually judged upon. The MLs have always been A1, except maybe late in Krystal's reign.
The premise was originally an 'Endota Spa' franchise, which had a reputation for being classy, yet overpriced. And it retains most of the original features. This means, as far as fixtures and equipment are concerned, it trumps nearly all R&Ts in BNE.
Poppy had contractors working there fixing the shortcomings during the opening week. There's no doubt that the venue is top notch.
Hope the mould smell has gone. Wish young rose would come back. Great vfm bbbj with that little aussie. Will go check out opium soon
Id love to know your choices.Quote:

You've got The Oasis run by Gypsy - she has a fucking amazing staff down at Mt Grav but none of them come north so you get the tired Asians.
GL aspley which has the occasional gem but god forbid you get Amanda or Cindy.
Miracle Kedron, ive got a girl there that is a stunner but the rest are boilers and rejects from the other GL chains.
VIP Aspley, ring up like a dickhead and ask whos on.
The rest of the shops are shithouse or closeto the city.
Have visited here already and can confirm that it's the same girls from Poppy's. The shower was huge and the girl jumped in with me. I will definitely return 🙂
Bet it was Yukiha! We did that as well. Fantastic fun. The place has been really tidied up. Nice and clean, fresh smelling. It has really upped the standard for the north side.Quote:

Full menu offered. Can't really be bothered to wade through Poppys threads for reviews on other girls, so would appreciate some info here.
Btw, for those concerned about the lack of privacy, Cafe 63 closes 4 pm daily.

I know all the shops and the owners via my contacts
Been in this business many years
Opium not new it’s just a rebadge Sir
Same girls come and go - same rooms - same layout
You say top service but time will tell when the bills arrive
Rent wages bas ABN laundry supplies
All big $$ you might be too naive
Carina different area different customer base
North side not easy to run with so many shops close by
You say you don’t care about name or cafe but some customers do Sir
They like privacy not everyone sitting outside watching
I wish her Luck same as before but let’s see how long it lasts
I have seen many open and close
Just Saying
Herps
PS I still have the data on average rents North Side if you want to know
