Tipping $20–$30 for a 2hr. massage is already low. Some therapists here have even received just $15 for 2hr.One client comes in monthly and rotates between therapists.
Not sure if the spa can refuse clients like this, but I feel bad for them.

I’ve been following this group for a while and finally wanted to share my thoughts. I’ve been to this place, tried most of the therapists, and also met some from RM I usually tip around $60–$100 for 60 mins depending on the service i get.
I was honestly surprised to see some negative comments trying to ruin therapists’ reputations just because expectations weren’t met or someone had a bad experience. If you’re going to share that, you should also mention how long your session was, what you expected (normal massage or extra), and how much you tipped.
I really feel bad for the therapists. They get criticized publicly but don’t get a chance to defend themselves. If you’re unsure about tipping, just check RM and you will get the idea how much should you tip them
I spoke with  a therapist, and he was very open about his experience. After hearing stuffs. It honestly made me feel bad. He said he often gets tips like $20–$30 even with extra service. He was not happy BUT still has to smile and stay professional. If he asks for more, he risks getting accused online of upselling. If he shows he’s unhappy, people review him as rude or arrogant.
All I want to say is just put yourself in their position. Would you be happy doing that work for that amount of money?

I have been to TWS multiple times and have experience with many of their therapists.
while I agree with much of your response, your statement, “especially if there are extras involved, you should tip them even more.” The tips you recommended based on time of appointment don’t reflect an appropriate tip for basic service with no extras, at least based on the starting price. A 50% tip is not the usual amount for most other massage places. 
 
The issue lies in the starting price. The owner or therapists set their starting price very low compared to normal RM rates, and they are taking a risk setting that price so low, that they’re likely going to get customers who see a deal and want to jump on it or attract patrons who normally can’t afford a massage that we all enjoy. That’s a risk that they are taking and they should understand that and be okay with it. If they are not, and they get offended when tips are on the low end, they should increase their prices where they won’t be offended if they get a smaller tip. 
 
With that said, I’ve also had many massages with providers on RM, and understand the value that I get when going to TWS. 
I’ve had 2 90-min massages with therapist where no extras were involved, and I tipped $50. 
 
I’ve had many more “special” 90-Min massages with therapists and I tipped $100 or more. Especially since the therapists at TWS actually give a better therapeutic massages than most on RM or MF. While many aren’t formally trained, they do learn quickly and get markedly better with time. Even at a $200 all-in price point, I think most of can agree that is a steal. 
 
I’ll be heading over there tomorrow and am looking forward to another great massage. 

I think an appropriate tip should be as follows:
60 min 35+
90 min 50+
120 min 70+
If you tip any less than this I think it’s quite unacceptable. Being a massage therapist is a very physically demanding job they deserve to receive a fair and appropriate tip. Especially if there are extras involved, you should tip them even more. I’ve heard that some people leave really poor tips, which is not okay. Don’t forget, this is Los Angeles not Bangkok  the cost of living is very different.

Billy advertises a base rate of $130 for a 2 hour session. I think we can all agree that this is an exceptional and low rate even for a one hour massage from most providers on Rent Masseur. 
The "rudeness and storming off" is subjective. But it's not like the providers here don't know that they are priced well below their competitive set in Los Angeles. It behooves the the client to be mindful of that, especially with longer sessions and and "extra service." I don't agree with the behavior that the client says occurred, but a fair amount of grace should be given to Billy, was the client aggressive? Wanted more service than Billy was willing to provide?  Let's be honest that was a poor tip, regardless. This is Los Angeles, not Bangkok 

I agree with the comments about Peter’s massage. I’ve gone to see him three times, and he actually gives a very good massage. If you like a deep, medium, or light pressure, you can just tell him. For the sensual massage, he’s also starting to add some nice touches, which makes it exciting for me. As for tipping, I never saw him mention it or ask for anything extra. However, I’m happy and willing to give him a tip for the good massage experience he provides.

I had similar experiences with Josh and Peter but there was no talk of tipping or upcharging with either of them.
I've seen Josh about 4x, he gives a good massage and I agree that he's inexperienced with extras but I've enjoyed them with him each time. He was pretty shy when I first met him but he's pretty comfortable with me now and really gets into the extras. 
I saw Peter once and his massage was fine but unremarkable and definitely not sensual. In the end he gave an unenthusiastic HE with some MT. He's a good fit for anyone who just wants a non-sensual massage with release.

Saw Pete at the other place. Massage was good, the extras weren't as sensual as some of the other guys but I still left happy. Would recommend if you want a solid full body massage and a no frills n*t.

I’ve tried getting a massage from Peter before. He’s very good and pays attention to every detail. He’s good-looking, handsome, and cute in an Asian way. If anyone hasn’t tried a massage with him yet, I highly recommend it. You’ll be impressed with him just like I was. I’ll definitely become his regular client.
