Simsima28 194 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Hi everyone I am new here and to the hobby in general. Actually I am looking forward to initiate myself with one of the lovely recommended ladies shortly. I am not into sp's as I am married and I want to keep it that way. Just looking for a relaxing time without feeling like its cheating. Which is why I am sure many go for those kinds of massages. I want to discuss something which hasn't been raised before in the Ottawa threads. How do tips work? For a mp, is it a percentage of the door fee? A coefficient of the time spent and services offered? Basically how does one figure out what to bring$$ ? Also, I have looked into independents with a full price disclosure of their services. Is a tip usually recommended there? Thanks for shinning the light on this for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difference is that for an indy MA you'll know what the deal is up front and hand over an envelope with the whole lot in it; if you visit a MP then you'll pay two separate fees. There's a door fee that goes to the establishment and covers the use of the facilities, and then a fee/tip/call-it-what-you-will, which goes to the MA. But, as I said, it works out about the same. I generally just ask the MA what I owe her when I'm there, but many of the MAs a spas are on the board now so you can always drop one or two of them a PM and ask in advance if you like. If in doubt about $$$$, put a bit extra in your wallet, just in case! As far as tips beyond that go (anything extra for an indy MA at all, or anything beyond her bit of the total for an MA at a spa)... I believe it's always appreciated, but never expected. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
