15% is normal tip for massage.  Until I began seeing Asian (Korean, Chinese) massuses I did not recieve negative feedback.  It seems they are not pleased with 15% & when I question what they want/expect they do not seem to understand English but make faces and I feel cheap.  The hourly rate in LA/Hollywood area is about the same as in the South Bay but the girls seem more demanding/unappreciative in the S. Bay.  New places open regularly and I like to go a few times a month. A good experience can be spoiled by a bad attitude from the girl when I feel I give a generous tip.

You leave as much as you want. $20 seems more than enough

Go to massage school!  I have listed a site below that is easy to use and you can contact the schools - and learn more about their programs!\n\nThis is how I found the school I went to :)\n\nFYI - Masseuse(Feminine)/Masseur(Masculine) indicates that you work in a massage parlor - where sexual favors are provided.  It is an antiquated term - to day it is simply a massage therapist or a bodyworker or even a somatherapist.\n\nMassage Therapists do not work on a salary - it is a per client session rate.  I make $120 per hour treatment. I treat 15 - 20 clients a week. I average is $80 a treatment, but I offer a very specialized modality, meaning it is in higher demand so it costs more. Honestly you won't get rich doing what we do.  You will make good money - and you will enjoy what you do - but if you are an MT for money - you are in it for the wrong reasons.\n\nIn California you need a min. of 500 hours education.  In southern California there are Holistic Health Practitioner Courses that are 1000 hours - they expand your scope of practice and allow you to do and treat things that MTs can not.\n\nSince you are in California I recommend Mueller College of Holistic Studies (link below), as their program is the most balanced and most stable (been around for 30 years).  IT is also the only COMTA accredited school in California - what that means is that your education meets super high standards that most other schools don't bother with.\n\nIf you are interested in Traditional Chinese Medical Massage - you might want to look at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (link below), although they are an acupuncture school they do offer a 1000 hour program dedicated to Tuina.\n\nFor right now - you should read anatomy, biology, keniseology, and pathology books - become very good at it.  You need to know what muscles you are working, where they originate and attach, what can go wrong and why.  \n\nMost importantly best of luck to you!

In the US it is the same but with insurance companies.  They will pay if you go to a doctor who took 100 hours of acupuncture classes  but not if you go to someone who has a degree from an acupuncture school(one in Massachusetts takes 6 years to get).   Multiculturalism is all crap anyways.  Come to my city and see how "great" it supposedly is

I think it's great. I love a good massage. A friend of mine is a massage therapist and she specializes in massage for people who participate in sports. She has a lot of clients. Of course, she has to put up with smirking by people who have seen classified ads for the "other" kind of massage therapy, but she just ignores that. Massage therapy is a good profession with many benefits.

$60 a month?  Have you seen the place??  First go see it.  Take somebody with you.  Maybe even some mace.  It sound too cheap to be safe... or even real.  Good luck!

While I stayed at Portofino Bay Resort in Orlando, I visited the Green Tree Spa.  I had to ask because this was the first time that I had visited a spa.  I was told that most clients tip 15-20%.

It is weird.  If you look at some of the questions concerning tips, the waiters and waitress of the bunch usually write in that even the most rude, horrible service deserves a 10% tip.  It's everywhere - people feeling getting money is a birthright instead of something you earn.  \n\nI don't know about you, but I have to work my asss off for my money, and no one gives me tips.  My tip is I get to have a job tomorrow.  So when I spend my money I expect the best service.  I expect people to put in the same effort I put in at work.  When it comes to eating out, it's a no-brainer.  I will get what I want and I will get it in a timely manner.  If they tell me it won't be burnt and it comes out burnt, it's going back.  If they get pissy, it's a no brainer - no tip.  I'm not going to argue with a waitress with an attitude.  That goes for everyone in the service industry.\n\nThe cabin is a bit different - especially if you paid up front.  I had the same thing happen - we specifically picked the cabin because it said it slept 7.  We had 6.  It really slept 2 comfortably.  The girls got the bed, one girl got the couch, one guy got a cot (that gave him back pains), and we got the floor, sans blankets or pillows, for 3 days.  It cause a real problem, because we didn't want to split equally, but no one could afford to pay more for the bed.  When we called and complained, their attitude was "what are YOU going to do about it.  Sue us."  What could we do?  We were f*cked.\n\nUnfortunately, it seems like everyone believes it's their birthright to screw people out of their money with a minimum of effort.

I would call the Bellegio in Las Vegas and see if they can refer you to a spa-message place in town or they may have a masseuse at their location. This would be a relaxing time for them both to spend an hour each of total relaxation, and this would be in your price range.

I've never been a server or waitress but, I feel that regardless of how much in tips they make, they should get minimum wage. They work just as hard as anyone else. As for the tips, they have to earn them. Just think of a slow night and little or no tips...she walks away with what, 20 bucks for working 8 hours on her feet. I think there should be a change in this, everyone should get nothing less than minimum wage regardless of their occupation.

Besides like strippers and such?  Waitresses get tips every day.  Gee let's see.  Oahu is near Pearl Harbor, you could probably sell lays on the side of the road by the airport.  The thing of it is, in order to live on Oahu, you need to have a job that pays well enough for you to afford the home or apartment, unless you are planning to pay day by day as well?  That would cost a ton.  The job market for howlies who want to be pd. daily is not great.  Maybe  workforce has  an establishment there.  I say waitress, best shot.  Oahu is a big place, go to the unelmployment office for help.

Me,being from the States I would say in Los Angeles would be a Nanny to the stars. Modelling,so many young people go out to L.A. and have a very hard time,getting into this field. You have to watch out for those snakes,that are lurking around,wanting you to do something else,other than modelling. Waitress,is great if you get into the best restaurants,not just a chain restaurant. Housekeeping doesn't pay all that great,unless you find yourself working for some famous person,but even getting into this field is very very hard. Living in L.A. is very expensive. You should make at least 2,500 a week. Hope this helped.....Good Luck,to you....Dimples

15% is considered to be an acceptable industry standard. For exceptional service the tip could relect that and be higher, the same holds true for poor service and be lower.

I had a terrible one a couple of years ago.  she didn't use enough oil/lotion so she kept pinching my skin.  she was also way too rough.  I was incredibly uncomfortable the entire time and kept tensing up.  I ended up writing a letter to the owner of the place and she was really rude to me.  she offered me a free massage, but she practically accused me of lying and took the word of her therapist over mine.  so I declined the free massage and told her I wouldn't be back.  I also told her I'd tell everyone I know never to go there.  I've told lots of people since then how unprofessional they are.

You most definitely tip a prostitute.  Your doing them a favor isn't good enough.  They can get that whereever they please.  They're in the business for the money.  They're with you for the money, not the favor.  And a tip of 10% isn't good enough.  That's only $10 on $100.  If you want a prostitute to be REALLY HAPPY to see you next time, tip extremely well.

I would love to have a massage once and awhile..but I am a typical man. A bit chunky and a little hairy. I save the employees the grief and just do not go...I guess I should consider the waxings.......NAH!!
