Pro/Con of independents

[DerekD]

Pro:
-more intimate
-more discreet (no run ins with others)
-more of a relaxed environment
-easier to build rapport with SP, especially rmts that can lead to better experiences
-Your money goes straight to SP, so there is more incentive by them to provide good service
-more flexible hours

Con:
- harder to book, especially last minute
-pets
-housemates
-Odors (smoke etc)
-lack of variety
-slow replies

Overall I really prefer independent therapists. I almost strictly go to them. Over the years I've built a relationship and have a rotation that I see atleast a couple times a year. The sessions are like visiting an old friend and they tend to know what your your preferences are as well.


Who's your favorite independent? I'm looking to expand my rotation. Thanks

My favorite is Josi. Highly recommend her if you haven't seen her yet.

LauraEdmonton, Sensual Jen are awesome. Massage by Kandee is a good massage and just hj ending.

Michelle. One of the only indies I see, sadly, not as often as I'd like. Fantastic VFM.

I do vote for Sunny as my favorite independent RMT working out of a home.

Would you consider Kelly on Whyte as an independent since she is a one lady shop.

Does Kelly have a handler?

Don't think so, never saw another soul in the shop. Same with Annie@Stoney, never saw another soul in the shop, does it make her an independent.

Michelle for sure. The others are demanding too much money. Nude HE prices are at the point where I feel it is better VFM to get 30 minutes FS for $150 then get a $80 massage.
That way $230 buys 90 minutes of therapy.

I too feel that some of the spa girls are asking too much for what basically ends up as some nudity with a HJ. For what I paid for the last several HE massages I could have gone to an independent FS Lady.

I 100% agree, finding a semi-legit girl who offer FS is like finding an unicorn. Even when you find one, the price is usually extremely high on the plus plus plus model. Better to get a basic one hour $80 then go see a FS specialist for the other elements.

Like Mint and XP are the best one stop park and enjoy.

Exactly. Saw Laura about 3 weeks ago. The best massage and after services at a reasonable cost.

Saw Jessie at Rosewater and although I enjoyed the after service immensely the massage was just ok and total service was expensive. I’m on the fence about repeating, but I have to re-iterate, I did enjoy myself.

Went to Mint last week and saw Isabella. A petit girl with a shapely curved derrière and who provided a great FS that has left me wanting more.

What does the cost run at Mint?

It depends what you are looking for and for how long. Mint has a variety of girls and ethnicities and it may depend on who you wish to see.
30 min usually starts at approx. $.8 /$$. and 60 min $$.6 and up. Some girls may be willing to offer a 45 min rate. It is always ymmv

so what's the going rate now for an hour? 240?
and up implies other extras like CIM?

 

[Shyman3]

These days I like to go to WB in the west end for a HH session. Then head over to Ting Ting for a 60/90 minute massage with Wendy.

Total cost is $250-300 and I get a total body package lol.

Independents with organizational skills, reasonable levels of massage skills, reasonably attractive and relatively unattached, and with a hedonistic streak (meaning they enjoy YMMV mutual touch, massage exchanges and some erotica with male clients, but NOT on a fixed menu, more of a selective variable menu) can be very successful at a time that not all massage shops are so successful.

One of the innovations I've seen is where a therapist maps out 2 hour blocks of time for each client. The actual massage and happiness may take up about 100 minutes, leaving some time for a shower and a gap before next client. Total cost may be between 170 to 260, though nothing is on or off a menu. Some may only receive a hj, others may receive more, all ymmv. But it's not rushed. A real massage is provided. And the repeat ratios are impressive. A trusted client may even pick up a perfectly claimable receipt for one hour, 75 minutes or 90 minutes.

Not sure why more therapists don't innovate and come up with such business models? More money is there to be made when the greed level is tempered, and client care is front and centre. Please don't message me to ask me "whom?". Want this to provide encouragement to independents to try out new ideas for their businesses. Combine massage therapy with a degree of adult companionship.
