Relaxation Massage 612 at 612 Sydney Road, Brunswick is a clean, air-conditioned shop with independent therapists, a short walk from the Tram 19 stop and Anstey Station. The massage is solid and often properly firm, and the erotic massage extras are set by each therapist, so boundaries and menus vary from one to the next.
Communication and customer interaction
- Book by phone or text, or walk in. The shop posts its daily roster on Telegram, and the Locanto ad shows who’s on, so check before you go.
- Buzz the door and someone lets you in and shows you to a room. Therapists usually run through their extras before or early in the massage, and some leave it open with an easy “or you can just do the massage”.
- The therapists set their own extras and are paid directly in cash.
- English is good with most therapists, and several are friendly, chatty and eager to please.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- The shop is on Sydney Road in Brunswick, about a kilometre from the busiest end, so it’s a little quieter, though there are still plenty of people around.
- Every room has air conditioning, and the shop is described as very clean.
- The rooms are on the small side, and some have barely enough space around the massage bench.
Facilities and amenities
- There are toilet and shower facilities, and a towel covers you during the massage.
- Oil is used generously, and clean-up at the end is attentive.
Therapists
- A mixed roster, mostly Asian therapists, generally in their mid 20s to early 30s.
- Several have a remedial massage background, so ask who’s strongest if you want real pressure.
- Some therapists work here only a few days a week, so the roster changes often.
Service and massage quality
- The massage is the strong point. Therapists use oil, work out knots in the back and neck, and some use their knees and thighs to add pressure, which punters rate highly.
- Teasing builds through the second half, and some therapists add plenty of it.
- Extras include clothed HJ, nude HJ and body slide, and some therapists offer other extras at higher prices, so ask what’s on offer.
- Boundaries vary a lot. Some therapists are happy for you to touch and play, and others keep things strictly limited to their own rules.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices are 20 minutes for $50, 30 minutes for $60 and 45 minutes for $75, and these are starting prices.
- A clothed HJ is $50, a nude HJ is $100, and a nude HJ with body slide is $150, other extras run up to about $200 with some therapists.
- Agree the total with your therapist before you start, extras are paid directly to her.
Session flow and timing
- The first 10 to 15 minutes is massage, and extras follow, either before the flip or after it.
- Clean-up is unhurried, and many therapists carry on with the massage for whatever time is left.
- Confirm your booking length when you arrive, since one therapist had another appointment and shortened a booked session.
Overall customer experience
- A comfortable, easy-to-reach shop with a good massage and a friendly feel, where results depend on the therapist you choose.
- Several punters leave happy and say they’d recommend it, and a few would return for the massage alone.
- Ask who’s working and what she offers, and agree the price before the session starts.
Quotes
- “Was in the area, and popped in (saw on telegram) had young cute Japanese girl. Gave me a really good massage with oil up and down my back, neck, getting the knots out.”
- “Called up and booked in 45 minutes. Turned up to the shop and she told me there was a misunderstanding and she has another appointment in half an hour, so my session was limited to 30 minutes.”
- “After finishing and cleaning up, she offers to continue the massage for the remainder of the time, during which we talk/banter. By the time I left it had been just over 45 minutes which was refreshing, as usually it’s vice versa, so I appreciated that.”
- “She was polite and lovely to begin with. The massage itself was firm and certainly settled my nerves. She put pressure in all the right areas and there was plenty of teasing.”
- “She is friendly and chatty, and speaks English well. She has very limiting boundaries, when massaged from the head of the table, she made sure my hands were by my sides and nowhere near being able to reach her.”
