I have an affinity for Asian women and have used massage parlors and some independents but have not been to any ladies using a service/booker (Apartment Asian Massage Parlor).  The reviews are very good and I'm considering setting an appointment.  My question deals with if a tip is appropriate?  At the regular massage parlor the door fee usually goes to the house, and tip negotiated with the masseuse.  How does it work at the AAMP?  Their fee is usually slightly more than I pay at the massage parlor for an hour massage and tip.

I consider what they provide a service that warrants a tip. With the K-dolls as a matter of practice I leave 20% or more for
"out of this world experiences" . K-dolls don't expect tips but appreciate them because unlike the donation they keep all the tips for themselves.

Some clients give gifts which end up being regifted to family , friends and yes clients. So unless you are really close and you know she needs the gift and would appreciate it just stick to cash gifts although not expected.  

I know after PMing to many guys here through the years that some pride themselves on NOT tipping and yet are high volume mongerer's. They feel the donation is high enough and they are returning enough not to have to offer more. Being the smuck that I am, I used to tip everybody (except for the duds) but after years of this, I tip only the ones that totally blow my mind (and it's particular kinks). Thanks to this site, that occurrence is quite often so depending on HOW high the level of service is (equal to or greater than my own brand of kink which isn't necessarily very kinky), I tip anywhere just under 20% (usually 40). But for the most part, K-girls are not like AMP girls that try and up-sell or even expect any extra gratuity for their grand service. LONG LIVE K-GIRLS and protect them from all bad things!!!!!

A large percentage of them are here for less than 90days and that does not give them time to develop a following that provides a deep repeat base that residents or long term visitors can develop. Tips in appreciation excellence in service are justifiable.

$250.00 is not cheap nor expensive , but we need to remember  hobbying is not for the cheap and the rate  of donation should not be determining factor for gratuities.

The K-dolls have 3 rates but some K-dolls have asked for more with varying results. Seeya and Irene ( on her last visit had to reduce)  charged $300, Audrey's rates was $300 and $400 but was hard to book. Sasha and Frieda/Tasha could not maintain $300 and had to roll back.

So while repeat business is the  greatest compliment 20% to 30% in gratuities as a token of appreciation is not going to break the piggy bank. It not a must just a gracious gesture from an appreciative client.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. If tipping is expected because it is a service,
regardless of the cost of the service, then we should be tipping doctors, lawyers, accountants,
etc. I'm all for tipping when that is the way the service provider actually makes their living.
Other than that I don't think tipping is necessary or even a consideration.
At what level do you stop tipping? If the provider charges $1,000 or more do you think
a $50 or $100 tip is appropriate or possibly ridiculous? Add up the $150 cut for the K-girl provider times about 5 times a day and 6 days a week. And that's on an average week. Some days they see 6,7, and more clients. I don't know how they do it but a $50 tip for someone making that kind of money seems kind of inconsequential Most of these providers make more than most
of the mongers visiting them and tipping, while a personal choice, is probably something that
they aren't even considering when providing us with their mostly wonderful service.
