payment

[Incarcerated Bert]

just wondering how payment in usually made at mp's . before or after.. just hand it to the mpa or set on table? tipping?

 

[Johner]

It's usually after the session. And it's up to you if you want to hand it to her or on the table, chair etc.

 

[Cheese is good.]

Sounds like what I do and why I do it. I find there is always a ledge or table in a room to put the cash on. Another good idea is to spread it out as much as possible so she can count the donation just by looking at it and not touching it.

 

[Tabitha H]

depends. most places will collect the room fee upfront and the tip is paid to the MPA after the session. however if you are new the MPA might ask to be paid first.

It's interesting to learn from others' experiences. In my case it has been like this: All MP will ask for room fee upfront. Asian MP will ask for the tip upfront once I ask for my happy meal from the menu. Other MP will provide the service and ask for the tip at the end. I find this second option makes me feel better.

 

[Cathy C]

If she asks for it, it ain't a tip. But it's certainly proper to discuss, quote prices and pay for specific upgraded massage services either in advance or after performance. Nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. And no reason not to tip as well, should you feel the service was that much 'above and beyond'.

 

[alexander m]

Excellent point. If the lady is confident in her abilities, she's probably thinking you will compensate her fairly.

Tipping should always be after the massage but what about just the payment for the massage? say $130 for bs.. do u pay that before the massage? just hand her the money or leave on table before/after shower? or make all payments after the massage?

 

[Purdey EP]

What!?! $130 for bs?!? Not in my experience.

Pretty much standard in theGTA is a door fee of $40, give or take per half hour—and that's the most common session—with upgrades going by $20 steps, for Topless, Nude, Nude Reverse, and Body Slide. So a typical half-hour BS session would ding you a $120 total, max. But the BS is only $80 capische?

These are prices paid—haven't got to tips yet—generally in two instalments, $40 upfront to the house, and the $80 to the MPA (I have never been asked for it upfront. Must be my honest face. But if she wanted, I would pony up when asked). All this is straight, legal buying and selling, no need for euphemisms and subtrefuges like 'roses' and 'kisses' or leaving money to be 'found'. Although in TO itself nude services might breach a bylaw, talking about them does not. And in Mrs. Sauga's Wild West, such services are explicitly allowed for in the bylaws.

Caution: We all know that while prostitution is legal in Canada, an establishment that provides such is criminal. This is why such services are not ever provided at MPs or discussed there, or here by massageplanet.netrainiacs. Here we talk only of services municipally sanctioned and regulated.

After it's all over, the amount of tip you choose (or not) to hand her is your business alone, and relates entirely to the size of the smile on your face and spring in your step. Discussion of a tip beforehand is essentially you negociating the price upwards, which is your perogative, but leaves you on the hook if the service turns out to be lacklustre rather than stellar.

Part of the reason for massageplanet.net is to cut thru all the BS (that would be a farm byproduct reference) so we can enjoy hobbying more. That's why it's worthwhile being unambiguous about 'tips', 'prices', services and door fees when talking amongst ourselves.

Perhaps you should touch up on your expertise.

www.royalspa.ca
www.handsfromheaven.ca
www.alluremassage.ca
www.utopiamassage.com

While high end, they are commonly talked about here.

 

[Katrina :D]

Doesn't make them the norm.

In fact, I'd bet they'd all claim—with more than a little legitimacy—to be the at the top of the MP ranks. As is commonly affirmed here.

BTW none of them quotes as high as a $130 BS for half an hour, but thanks for trying to look out for my 'expertise'.

 

[Sour Gummy worms is back!]

30 minute Bodyslide/VIP session at HFH and SRM according to their websites:

30 minute door fee = $40
30 minute BS/VIP = $100
TOTAL COST $140

I have never felt comfortable with the money-exchange (which is silly but I always felt a bit tacky when dealing with it...)

At the top spas, clients generally paid for the session afterwards. Some girls do request payment upfront (especially with new clients). Indies are a bit of a different ball game... I do ask my new clients to take care of business before we take care of business

I was only shortchanged (or ripped off) a few times through the years I worked in spas... Generally I don't think it's necessary to request upfront payment but I do think it's a nice way to get the awkwardness out of the way.

 

[eyJude]

Likewise for me...The sad thing is that some of the MPA's really put their own personal financial needs ahead of their job, and in almost all cases when tip was brought up very early on, quality was low..I tend to go with the flow...Let them know that I have been around many places, give them examaples of people I've seen, just to comfort them that they won't be ripped off. Now adays, I would leave if asked for the money prior to the massage. I would just leave. Discussing it is something, wanting it out before the session and you lose their motivation completely!

 

[Pompal 09.]

I pay the standard 30-60 min fee and then discuss and pay before receiving any extras. This one Chinese MPA gave me discounts on the extras she offered, becuase she didn't want to spend too much money. The other MPA's at the MP I payed full price for the extras. Although, one of other MPA now gives me a discount too.

Nowadays, I could FS the first time I get a massage from a MPA at this particular place....Before, I had to go many times and ask before that was offered. I did FS once there and never agian....it's just not comfortable for me on a massage table. I need to bed !

 

[Bella]

I usually take care of money up front. Girl says what kind of a session do you want? And I reply with what I'm looking for and willing to pay. If she agrees money is exchanged and we get down to business.

A big part is knowing what the going rate at the spa is. I used to use the SRM rates as a guide to the top spas. Lower level spas should be a bit cheaper.

Clicking on the HFH website I was shocked to see 200 for the 60 min VIP. Add that to the room fee and you've surpassed some pretty good SPs?!!!!?

Man I must have been out of the game for a while

 

[FineAzFudger]

I am interested in going to PA.. I'm pretty sure I've seen on here a few times that a bs is $130 and there is no door fee there... but I might be wrong.
who should I see at PA for a bs? does anyone there offer multiple release?

 

[aliceperez77]

1. You said "you never pay more for $80 tup for BS, capiche?". That is bad guidance because there are many spas here that are discussed that pay $100, so it is far from never or standard

2. Since I want you to make sure you still think your an expert, you should read the 30 minutes rates at those websites again.

 

[mary G]

Poon,
PA has many girls of all shapes and sizes that offer BS. Price is $130 for 1/2 hour including door fee. MSOG you'll have to find our for yourself.

 

[miz_shelly]

The subject is how one pays, not my 'expertise'. But since you're so concerned with my knowledge, let me know which spas pay $100. I could use the extra cash.
