Thai Wellness Spa in LA

[JoeRS]

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.

Yikes.

If the massage is substandard, a small tip is understandable. If it’s good, I do 25%. If extras are exceptional I raise the tab to an escort rate, which has happened here once (and will again).

Thanks for saying this @Tactile Daddy. 

I always take into account the time and effort that is put into a massage, with or without any extras. As a matter of fact I never go expecting extras, I just go with the expectation of having a solid massage and whatever happens beyond that happens.

Instead of trying to figure out an amount to tip, I always come prepared to give $100/60 min, $150/90 min, and $200/120 min no matter what. I think this is reasonable for the service they're delivering, and it's still less than what alot of independent MT's ask for on MassuerFinder or RentMassuer. I've never had a complaint or received any attitude about my tip, if anything they express alot of gratitude and I tend to get excellent services whenever I see them again.
