I’ve seen Lara and had a positive experience - she was my first experience of Masha’s - there have been
Some great girls there - I’ve left some reviews of those ..
Chinese shops are hit and miss and agree I find them a bit of a waste of money - unless you find a gem and click you may keep hopes alive … but befriending some of them has its pitfalls where as intentions are not clear .. I’ve had a couple I got very friendly with where they have their numbers and would chat when ever they could .. one ended up asking me for £500 loan and I agreed - leading upto it I couldn’t reply to her message and did so a couple of hours later - to find she blocked me everywhere .. insta, TT , WhatsApp .. probably thought I wasn’t going to give the loan ..
… but places like Masha’s are massively better - you know what you’re getting and how much it’s going to cost.. and the experience is almost always decent.
I’m also keen to try Laylas - Alexandra not so keen as I’ve heard the same as you say that they can be a little unaccomodating ..
First experience of Joanna and D in Chingford today with Lena - will leave review later
