Just to add to this review…
When it comes to massage technique, I’d also rank Nathan as #1. I’d put Oliver and Billy at #2 and #3. In my opinion, those three stand out when it comes to pressure, technique, body mechanics, and overall flow. If we’re talking strictly about massage quality, they’re the three best therapists at TWS right now, and honestly, among the best I’ve experienced anywhere in LA.
Andre and Patrick are both good therapists with solid pressure and decent technique, but I’d put them a step below the top three in terms of overall massage skill and strength. Their biggest strengths are exactly what the original review mentioned: they’re attractive, friendly, easy to talk to, have great physiques, and provide an excellent overall experience.
The other two I’d mention are Tommy and Kenneth. This is just my personal opinion, but Tommy’s pressure is on the lighter side and his massage technique isn’t quite at the same level as most of the others. Kenneth offers medium-to-deep pressure and incorporates traditional Thai stretching, though his sessions can sometimes feel a bit less smooth and structured.
If Tommy and Kenneth have one thing in common, it’s that they seem to focus more on the overall experience than the massage itself. Most therapists spend the majority of the session focused on massage, while with those two it can sometimes feel more balanced between massage and the overall client experience.
The therapists I haven’t tried yet are Teddy, Josh, Peter, and Andy. Maybe I’ll give them a shot someday and see where they land in my rankings.

Just coming back here to say that I saw Nathan again yesterday and hands down he will be the only masseur I book with moving forward. His technique and massage skills are above average, and for the second time in a row he’s left me feeling amazing and completely satisfied. 11/10 in every aspect. Y’all need to book with him. 
 
No DM’s about the massage, please, as I am only commenting on his massage technique as they are way above average. 
 
Schedule a massage with him to feel exactly what I’m talking about. 
 

Agreed 100%! I’ll be sure to tip correctly and generously next time I receive a great or even amazing one. Thanks for the tip! 

If it wasn’t for all the DM’s here, I wouldn’t have known about any of this! 🤣🤣🫣

In theory, I agree with you, but I have had certain therapists get accustomed to very generous tips I gave them.... and then when I gave a very good but not super generous tip one time as I was a bit shorter on cash, the therapist looked at me and asked if something was wrong given it was less than the usual, creating for an awkward situation. I don't believe he was speaking from the perspective of "I deserve more or expect more," but was sincerely concerned. I explained I had less cash on me that day, and it was fine... but it made it awkward enough that I felt obligated to make sure I had the cash on me to give the larger tip the next time.
So I think you should give your standard good tip, not excessively more, but if you really love the therapist, maybe give a bonus around the holidays.

I think I’ve asked a few massage therapists about this before. From what I understand, the massage fee is usually split between the therapist and the spa, often around 50/50, or sometimes the therapist gets a little more. Tips, however, typically go directly to the therapist.
Because of that, a therapist’s income and overall job satisfaction can depend quite a bit on tips.

No such thing, I’d say. A gratuity, freely given, is a reward for service, and it sets no expectations for subsequent customers. Undertipping, on the other hand, is a thing!

I’m lucky enough to have enough to tip so well, but I also am lucky that they have such great therapists working there. I’ve never had a bad experience and have seen both female and male therapists. 

They pay a flat fee per session 

Always throughout the massage, I let my therapist know exactly how amazing they’re doing by giving thumbs up or just saying the words to them. I know words only go so far and do want to also feel as though I’m expressing my gratitude financially, but don’t want to overtip and set a higher expectation for the next person. 
 
Thanks for the kudos!

Not at all! 😊 A $100 tip on a 120 min massage is already very generous. Honestly, what makes someone a great client isn’t just the tip amount,it’s being kind, respectful, appreciative, and valuing the therapist’s work.
From what you’ve described, you sound like an amazing client. Trust me, any therapist would be happy to have someone like you on their table. 

Curious again to ask what the tipping range field would be for an above average massage here. I see some saying it should be 200, but not sure if that’s what you’d tip for a regular massage, or one that’s better. Also, I’m not a cheap person, but I’ve only given 100 for a 120min massage. Am I…? Cheap?! 🫣

Wonderful!! That’s exactly about where I was thinking. Thank you!!

If I get a 90-minute, which is usually around $95-100, I will tip at least another $100-105 on top for a total of $200... unless, of course, it was a sub-par experience (which happens but is rare). 

I just wanted to share that I already have my next visit with Nathan booked and am so very excited to see him again! If this massage is as good or better than the last one he gave me, then he’s got a lifelong client in me!

I did! I booked same day through their website and had no issues getting him for 90min. Worth every second and I can’t wait to see him again 
Highly recommended! 

NATHAN, I believe is who you are seeking 

Nathan is everything you guys say he is. Super nice guy. Amazing massage technique. Very respectful, and super strong. Very happy with the entire experience. 10/10 and will definitely book with him again.
