Bethany Westbrooke 7532 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 I would suggest contacting the provider or spa you are interested in checking out and asking them for details, I know little of the goings on at parlours-having been independent right from the start and all-inclusive- but I do know that Club Madellyn Jae is also all inclusive and you won't have to negotiate any fees once you have paid your session fee. Wherever you go, I am sure you will have a fun little adventure and will come away wiser and more relaxed than you went in! Have fun and beware, sensual massages are highly addictive!

Megan'sTouch 23875 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 There are two fee systems with massage. One is all inclusive. The rate will be roughly 150-180/hour. You will likely be expected to pay the rate upfront and you should not expect negotiations or requests for extra money throughout the encounter. This is the system that I use and I prefer it because I find negotiating money during an encounter really breaks the mood. The other system is the "door fee + tips" system. The door fee generally about $60/hour goes to the parlour/club, and then you "tip" the massage provider, generally based on what services you want. For example, one spa I applied to work at (but never did) charged $40 for a clothed release, $60 for a topless release, $80 for a nude release, and $100 for a nude release with body slides. The tip could also be one set amount for her time. It's very important that if you go to a door fee + tip place that you tip appropriately, because the woman giving you a massage is probably expecting to be paid by you directly, and not the club/parlour. These are just some very general guidelines. When you pick which independent provider or establishment you would like to visit, you should clarify with them directly exactly how fees work. Ottawa has a great massage scene. Welcome and enjoy! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yak2432 1499 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 This is a good pricing guideline for thoses MA's who provide really good service but never mention any prices but at the end of session always say "whatever you feel is fair". I once paid a door fee of $60 and then a tip of $120 of which she thought was very generous. Considering I got a great massage, release and she was naked for most of the session, sure beats going to a strip club. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sensual Erin 33909 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 With no disrespect intended, I don't think this is the way to ask this. You seemed to have paid within the guideline from your experience, but there's others who may have a different idea of a fair tip. It's best to check with the agency and obtain more information. Reputable spa"s will be able to guide you. This is my advice as there's been a few threads on this subject and the MP not fairly being compensated.

Angel's Touch Ottawa 22561 Report post Posted November 18, 2011 I cannot give you rep points sorry gotta spread the love.... I cannot agree with you more.... in order to keep hobbying fun and safe for all it is always best to remain discrete in public forum this includes not only the discussion areas but the recommendation area as well.....always best to become educated and do some reading under the legal section prior to making any posts ....knowledge is power :) And as Bethany outlined contact the lady or spa of interest in private forum to discuss anything business related As i posted on a previous thread, those who comment, it's pure fiction at it's best that may also damage the MP reputation.

Thanks Erin and I don't intend to start a war over this but I've been to several places where I was told to "tip what you seem is fair". However a lot of MA's could be burned this way if a customer naively thinks the door fee is going to the MA and leaves an inadequate tip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodehard 2058 Report post Posted November 18, 2011 I have yet to find an Agency or an Independent MP that was not forthcoming with information regarding services that were available or the compensation required. All one has to do is use a little common sense and a little discretion, any information that you want can be obtained through email, phone or even a PM via CERB. Discretion goes a long way in this hobby... Rodehard 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sensual Erin 33909 Report post Posted November 18, 2011 I'm not at all choleric, so no wars started from me over your well intended reply. I question the ethics of these kind of places and not familiar with these practices. I would never want to leave my "tip to what seems fair" up to the client I see. These ladies make nothing from the door fee and I've even heard that sometimes the MP has to pay to use the room on top of it. Discretion goes a long way and the reputable agencies have no problems with answering these questions. Agreed. You tipped very wisely but others may not.
