alice is the young one and knows nothing about massage really

IMHO, I think you will get more bookings if your studio has a shower. Most guys in general prefer going to a place that they can take a shower before and after. Seems to be the first question most people ask when it comes to a booking no matter what the place is. Not sure whether your landlord won't allow you to have a shower installation or it is a money issue. If it is a money issue, you may want to approach some of your clients to buy some massage time with you up front that they can cash in later whenever they want. Just offer them a small discount. I personally don't mind doing that and helping you a bit if it means we can have the convenience of a shower. If it is a landlord issue, you should really look into another spot. It makes a repeated booking decision with you much easier especially for those of us that come from work directly without getting home first. Just my $0.02.

I think she was just saying that so you might tip her more. All these Chinese girls know what the bare minimum pay is with all the Aisan MP places so they won't stay for sure if they only get $10 for a 90 minute massage. A lot of these girls are full of BS. If you ever talk to any of the girls in the AMPs, the stories are more or less the same. They know their degrees would not be recognized here especially those that did theirs in nursing or medicine and they have a language barrier issue to over come to find a decent job especially when they have no Canadian experence. All of them made sure they actually pick up a handy skill before they come to Canada. Some tried baking, makeup/skin care ... while others tried massages since it is a very easy and cheap skill to pay to pick up in China. They know they can make a good living with massages and have better and more flexible working hours than working in a restaurant so most of them opt for working in an AMP. Many of them told me everything is a daily profit as soon as the 3rd customer walls in the door during a day so it is a low cost, low risk and potentially high gain business for them. Just look at Ting Ting is driving a Cadillac these days and others are making enough to have a fairly stylish life style as a part time student and part time MA. A lot of these girls or older women have ambitions based on their past careers or degrees so they would never be happy working for someone else other than owing their own business, which is why we have so many AMPs these days. Ting Ting, Judy, and many others used to work at Lisa's place or some other places in Hull. After they gained enough experience and learned more about the business, they all started their own MPs in Ottawa or in Hull. The owner of the Bubble Tea place on Somerset that also offer massages used to work at Ting Ting's too not long ago and now she owes her own business too. It is just a job that they have the necessary skills to do and a business they have enough ambitions to take on especially when it is a profession that allows them to earn more than enough to satisfy their material needs when they really can't achieve by doing something else on their own with the little other skills they have.

Mei (formerly of Jade that got kicked out after offering some advance services) was at 652 when I went a few months back. The massage rooms were really small. I forgot the other older ladies name I saw there. Massage is average at best with everyone of them. Mei used to be pretty good at giving a good massage but she has lost the touch somehow. The other Bubble Tea place (642) is gives very average massages too so I don't get what you guys were talking about. The owner in her 30s or 40s is the same lady that used to work at Ting Ting's during the day. Massage was ok with her and she never quite picked up the teasing skills that Ting Ting had either. The other younger and more attractive girl can only give very light or soft massages only. Even when you order for deeper massage, all you get is the same soft massage just like she never receives he message even she said yes and ok. Just be aware of it and have fun!

I noticed her took her Contact page down from her web site a little while ago so I figured she must be sticking with close clients only. Now the whole site is totally gone and her account here disabled too. Maybe she find a true love afterall. I hope she will be back for sure. Oh well, have to give the other independent MAs I have not seen a try now.

Trying to book an appt but noticed her web site is gone. Her account here is disabled too. ?!?!?!

Jude, does your studio have a shower now?
