Straight normal massage tips

[MaxMark]

I was wondering how much tip should I give for one hour straight massage with no extra.
I had a massage in the new location of classic wellness massage and the girl wanted to take $40 for no extra straight massage and wasn’t happy with a $15 tip.

$40 tip is reasonable since the girls don't make money from the door fee.
Can you imagine someone paying you just $15 after an hour of massaging someone?

they don't? or does it vary by location?

Correct. None of the semi legit spa operators pay any kind of wage to the girls. Imagine waiting from 10 in the morning till 10 at night, with a good chance you might only get 1 or 2 guests. In the majority of cases, a large part of earnings needs to go back to China to pay for mortgage and school fees (a lot of girls have young children back in China, whom they miss a lot). So subtract that and after paying for groceries, rent (even a little Toronto basement room the size of a closet runs at $600 - $1000 per month), phone and sometimes uber to work, there is not a lot left. So leaving a tip of $40 for a semi-legit massage with no extras is not that unreasonable. It is different if you go to a legit medical spa where massage specialists do get a normal hourly wage, in that case $20 would be appropriate. I don't mean to write a sob story, but just be kind, respectful and consider your tip is the girls only means of income.

hmm i didn't think they get a wage, but a % of the room fee. At least that was my impression...

Ask Lucy what she is paying per 30/45/60 minutes now. I have heard that some well known places are paying nothing, and several other places have decreased the room fee. As an insider, interested in what you have heard.

I usually pay smth like the door fee - so if door fee is 40/50/60 for 30/45/60 minutes I tip the same amount 40/50/60, it is definitely more work if girl is doing 60 minutes compared to 30.
It is for good massage with some extras like top nude/full nude/dirty talk whatever, no FS I mean.

Fully clothed restricted HE - just 40 on top of door fee.

 

[ReedIckulous]

The last time I gave $30 and the girl was very surprised. She was used to $10 tips.

That is standard tip for legit massage with no sexual services or other added things like dressing up. They get part of the room fee, usually half for a 1 hour service.

My regular just bought a $3600LV Purse to go with her $1000LV Wallet and she bought her son a house a few years ago and a car this year. They are not hard up for money. And she has a massive gambling habit. It is obscene. Her tip is $100hh.

I know. Tell me about it. When I go to see a girl I already gave at the office and they will play that card. I just want proper services.

 

[MaxMark]

I believe if they rely on tips that should be clear in their advertising. At least I should be informed before starting the session.

This is incorrect. In GTA, the spas pay part of the room fees. For a 60 minute session, $30 goes to the girl.

I think $20 for a sex free 1hr massage on top of their take on the door fee is reasonable.

Once u consider the rm fee, they’re doing fine.

Sounds like a fair deal for a professional massage! Always good to appreciate the hard work they put into it.

If you just want a straight massage only and don't want to tip at least 20 bucks, don't go to semi legit spas, Semi legit spa girls hate guys just coming in for massage. They'd rather skip you and wait for a guy who tips well with happy ending. Just for a good massage, it's best to go to spas like Comfort Zone or Kelly spas where you can get good massage and girls are happy with $10 or 15 tips.

I can get a 1 hour RMT massage for $80 cash, so that would be my cap for a legit massage anywhere else.

If you tip $20 at Kelly you’re a star. They want your phone number! Ha! It sounds like a joke but its literally true.

RMT’s charge extra. You can get pure legit massage for less. The going rate for RMTs can range much higher than $80 though.
