Tipping a Massage Therapist

Ok. This past week I went for my first full body massage. Holy mother of God, that's all I can say about that. Not only was this chick probably mid 20's and extremely attractive, she also knew what she was doing. Where was this chick when I was rolling :)
Anywho, I noticed that there was a spot on the table for a gratiuity. I had no clue what was appropriate. I left 10$. The charge for the hour massage was 60$. I mean I know 15-20% is standard in the restaurant industry but I'm clueless about this massage business.
I hope I didn't offend her with the 10$ if I should've left more, but does anyone know if that seems reasonable?
And part II, how do you mack on a massage therapist, is this possible? I highly doubt it. But man trying to control getting a "special feeling" whilst she was doing her thing was increasingly difficult...haha

I love the massage therapy!! When I go I usually tip ~$5 and they are quite content with that. Could be that they weren't expecting a tip from a 20 year old tho?

i need a plan of attack. cause i'm sure she has guys lusting over her all the time. But I used to go to this place for accupuncture and seeing the types of obese older guys who she gives massages to, i'm undoubtedly a welcome change.
I guess I could ask her if she does "outcalls" haha.
i'll just have to chat her up next time and she what she's interested in and then pretend I am too...yeah one step at a time. |

I plain 'ol was straight up with mine the first time and asked. Well, I asked because insurance covers the cost of my massages...is that messed up or what. No wonder health care costs are so high...you just show up and 'go at it' (no you don't need to be injured or doc's orders for massage w/ my company)...
...anyway...she told me what they bill insurance is "more" than ample for the hour treatment. When you pay out of pocket cash...it's always nice, but not expected. I said "okie doke" and did the math.
They bill my insurance 100 bucks and cash payers pay $55...so that's like getting a $45 tip. What a laugher....I'm sure it's gonna be one of the first "bennies" on the chopping block to save health costs down the road.
Oh...and yeah there are a couple hotties that work at the place and I also have a friend that works the ramp down south that is going into sports massage....I offered myself to her studies for practicing :D |
