How much do you think providers make?
- Thread starter Justin Heranus
- Start date
I was out in Flushing a couple years ago with one provider and she was headed back to China the next week. First we stopped at a bank and she took 60,000 out of a safe deposit box. Then we drove up to the outlets in West point and she bought a bunch of coach bags and wallets to give to relatives.
I didn't know she'd gotten 60k when we were at outlets and I freaked when I found out she had it and just left it in my car when we went shopping.
I gather her plan was to just put it in the coach bags and walk it in, and it worked. She was just Blase' about the whole thing, and she did say she had tons more in the box. She was mostly moving it because she was running out of space.
So thats how she moved her money, but I can't think thats a common approach.

One very common method is called “Hwan Chee Gee” in Korean (환치기).
For example, if I need to transfer money to Korea and someone in Korea needs to transfer that same amount to America, then we do that exchange through a third party (someone who we both know such as a jewelry store, supermarket or hair salon owner).
I give that money to that third party in America, he then informs the other person in Korea that he has his money. That person in Korea then transfers Korean money worth that amount into my account in Korea (we use the currency exchange on the day of the transfer) or gives that money in cash to my family member to pick up. That person in Korea then informs the third party person who will come and pick up his money which is usually a family member or business partner.
Many Koreans use this method for amounts 100K and above. I’m sure the Chinese have a similar method too.

It is usually done for a 5-10% cut of the money, so it's a nice business
It's done with 2 people here and two in another country over a phone line(one is a trusted relative or friend)
The person doing the washing is well known in the community and has done it many times before, Bangladesh or where ever.
Still, for that kind of money, a lot can go wrong

It depends on the type of spa. If you're tipping the therapist $100 or more, the HF goes to the MMS. If you're tipping the therapist $20, then they usually get a few dollars from the HF. It is about 25-30%. Because each location's business model varies, I don't factor their cut of the HF into my tip. I recommend tipping based on the service and never being a cheapskate.
Don’t feel the need for any pity on these girls, they’re doing just fine and have far more choice in where/how much/what kind of service to provide than we think. If they want to earn more, they know which places to go to.
If a new girl shows up then leaves after a day or two, take your choice on either 1) poor service vs the shop standards or 2) too little volume for their liking. The girls are savvy and smarter than most of us think, don’t fall for their trickery.
