Oriental Essence and Joyful Massage North Shore
I have made quite a few visits this year to the Oriental Essence shops in Takapuna and Browns Bay, and the sister shop Joyful Massage in Albany. Doing the research so you don't have to :)
The shops are Chinese owned and staffed. The premises are all kept very clean including clean sheets and towels for each customer (ok not everyone seems to care about that but it's a must for me lol).
Most of the staff are first timers in the sensual massage industry, which I prefer because it feels like I am getting a less "performative" service. However, it does mean the service can be a bit variable, particularly with new staff as they find their feet. Some men might therefore prefer a shop with more seasoned campaigners.
All of the staff will provide an hour's massage at least semi-naked and with HE for 120. Most staff will provide extras for tips (fully naked, touching, cbj etc).
Personally I just give a decent tip at the outset and see what that gets me - the forrest gump box of chocolates - which usually results in an enjoyable hour. The most enjoyable hours have been those where there is some chemistry, or where I have come back to see the same staff member a few times and gotten to know her a bit. As they say, your mileage may vary.
The more popular/naughtier staff attract reviews here and the dedicated review sites. Whereas I enjoy finding the hidden gems.
In that regard I can highly recommend Dianna (good body, great boobs, nice massage and eager to please) and Lidiya (hot toned body, great English and enthusiastic).
Scarlett, the manager of the BB and Albany shops, is very helpful.
There are new staff every few weeks, which is great for those of us with short attention spans ;)
I will post a review or two of specific staff if people are interested.
