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.

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 will just say that myself, and a couple of others that I've chatted with, have found him, Nathan, anxious, or even aggressive, to get to the extras.

i recently had time w oliver… wasn’t impressed with the massage, outdated pics, and almost immediate jump to “release” during the massage. he seems like a nice guy, but i felt a mix of being catfished and leaving like i didn’t get a solid massage.

I’d really like you to try booking a session with him first. Before I went, I read a lot of reviews, and most people praised how highly professional his massage is. During the session, he doesn’t ask or offer anything extra,if you want more, you have to give him some kind of signal. Otherwise, he’ll just continue the massage all the way through, which is exactly what happened my first time with him.
But the second time I went back, everything was perfect. I’ll definitely be seeing him again.

Don’t just believe what others say,I’d rather you try it yourself before making a judgment.

I booked Nathan two weeks ago.  The massage was excellent.  He was neither anxious nor aggressive.   The extras arose naturally and I left happy.

I'm sure it's just a YMMV thing.  The massage was really great.  I just felt pressured with the extras.  

Oh, and to be clear, it was at the Hollywood location, not the Nathan at the Silverlake location.

[ChismeDaddy69]

I've never felt pressured. It was very much go with the flow.

I am going on Saturday and between Billy and Nathan. Fe free to dm with details or opinion. 

[rjinla]

Just want to update after my recent experience. Tried Billy and it was not a very good experience. 

Massage was decent (not the best) but the extras very awkward and rushed. After I paid, he got really rude about the tip amount I left (it was still a very good tip - $30) so really didn’t warrant him getting an attitude and storming off.

I’ve had a good experience with some others but this whole thing just really left a bad taste in my mouth and I am not sure I will return again.

An important note: $30 for this type of massage is not a “very good tip.” That’s a solid tip for a hour standard massage at an Asian massage parlor, but not for the type of massage you describe. It doesn’t take much searching on these forums to discover that you’re tipping below the expected rate. Leaving tips like this will result in masseurs feeling like they need to initiate negotiation during the session which most of us do not like to experience.

I asked him about it, and he said the $30 was for a 2-hour massage with extra services, so he felt very disappointed

I’d like to share a quick thought. Recently, I tried sessions with two new therapists, and it gave me some perspective.

It turns out that the spa owners and staff do read the posts in this forum. When it comes to massage quality or communication with clients, they genuinely appreciate feedback and are willing to improve. However, there have been some negative comments that aren’t entirely accurate, and unfortunately, they don’t have a way to publicly respond or clarify those points.

Some of the therapists have also expressed that they would prefer discussions here to focus on the massage itself, rather than other topics. They’ve mentioned feeling uncomfortable and even a bit unsafe,knowing that this is a public forum that anyone, including outside parties or authorities, can access.

For anything beyond general massage experiences, it might be more appropriate to discuss privately via DM. There have also been situations where clients come in expecting specific things because they read about it here, and then try to direct the therapist to do exactly that. It’s important to remember that every therapist has their own boundaries and professional choices, and it’s completely their right to decide what they are or aren’t comfortable offering.

Let’s be respectful of that and avoid putting pressure on them.

Agreed 1000%! I’ve been asked here and RM for “what extras I received and with who” and my answer is always to say that I went in for a massage and then only share my experience with the massage itself. Everything else is and should be private if anything happens and we should never expect to receive anything from anyone. This isn’t a brothel and if it were, some of y’all would be getting kicked out trying to tip the small amounts you’ve been mentioning because they almost insulting. Tip accordingly and tip well. Create a safe space for all and then enjoy the benefits of an amazing massage.

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

In your opinion what would be great tip?

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.

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’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?
