When the provider is also the owner......

......of a 1-person, R&T type shop,(no FS).......My question is; what/if any difference would there in an appropriate tip for 1 hour massage (HF 60-70) ? Thank for any feedback/suggestions.

A one-girl shop more likely you will get some YMMV stuff; personally on initial visit I might put an extra Jackso in there to butter the bread for this time or next time.

Start at $50-60 and work up depending if service improves.

I generally agree, unless its massage only. If the HF=60, and its just massage, I would only give a tip of 30. $100 for just an hour of massage is too much.

I would focus on making her feel very comfortable with you so do small talk. Chances are, she has another location or has kids so relate with her.

If she has another location, mention that you’ll visit that location too. Many women would talk about their kids and I’ll mention about my spoiled nephew and niece. They would then ask me if I have any kids and I’ll tell them, “I’m not sure.” and they’ll laugh.

Then naturally they’ll open up and give you HE which will lead to LFK which will lead to DFK which will then lead to pulling up her shirt and you kissing her breasts then you know the rest is history. lol

With owners, this is the route I take. And then I’ll leave a nice tip.

I may try the “I’ll be back at closing time” approach and “for a much better tip” She’ll know what’s up.

In these situations, the owner speaks pretty good English so she will say, “Sorry.” to you and answer the phone. I always tell them not to be sorry and I’ll joke by telling them that nobody calls me which also helps break the ice. lol

Usually when I expose that I'm a company owner, we become fast friends (they say things with a lit-up face like "oh you are owner too?"). I know they have social hierarchy and also they know that someone with some connections may come in handy as a pal. As others say, the best way for this kind of lady or really all the gals and MMS and owners, and all civvies and everyone you interact with in your whole life, be polite and be friendly. Is easy work and people who are also polite and friendly pick up on this quickly and you will have a very very loyal friend for your lifetime.
