Trend of spas with absurd fees are growing

[hest814]

As of late, I have noticed that massage spas here with absurd entrance rates (talking about those with $88 or more per hour) are growing.

Furthermore, they require you to take the mentioned $88 package just to get the bare minimum special.

To top it off, even though minimum special are still quoted at $50, MLs now want you to top up $50 just for auto roam.

Total: $188 just for one hour session or more depending on the special!!

I have gone to 3 different spas (all diff bosses) and all practice the same approach.

Is this now a common trend among all the MLs here?

This is sad indeed. Rather go to JB for massage and save money haha.

saw this Mandy from passion spa doing Tiktok live said she will not accept customer for 58 massage, she only accept 89 entry. knn!

Totally agree with you.

Spas used to charge a flat rate of $50 - $60 per hour starting years ago. But I think one spa spoil market go and start this gimmick of $88 nonsense. Say what must top $38 so can get teasing etc. Really turn off to all bros here. But I believe there is still a small number of spas who doenst charge such pricing. No wonder spa owners/bosses can drive big cars and park outside the shop.

Spa bosses if u reading this feel free to zap me. I am just being honest with the majority of the bros here.

For the longest time, people are lured by photos of young pretty MLs at Cat1 joints (Category 1,一号店).
Pay entrance fee of 88 or more per hour, and paying above market rate for basic Happy experience.

The market is big enough to accommodate the rich, and the vast majority (like me, who almost never visit Cat1 joints).
Go to the right places for the right stuff.

Yes it is a true a large number of spa have been adopting this practice for years now..

I just walk away if they insist on that pricing. Luckily, there are still many other spas that don't do it

[sxem]

We complain so much but the market is still there for them

Just spend within your means

there are still no many shops charging 50-60 for entrance.. why visit those 88 ones leh..? u got choice but still choose to get carrot then nobody can help liao…

Then go get rid of such spas by making reports to AV and MOM. Just tell MOM you don't see the Singapore staff such spas claim to employ. MOM will crack down on invisible staff issue.

Better still... expose these practices on social media so that MOM and AV are forced to act. But make sure to only target $88 spas. Leave the $50 and $58 spas for the rest of us to enjoy

No use ba. I see them close and later open at same location by same boss using the different name. Example like springleaf that corner shop. Dunno change name how many times liao and the boss still the same. Only the ML who got into trouble have to leave.

This is still not that bad. I kana before the below quotation.

Remove Bra: +30
Touch Below: +20
Below with Pants down: +30
Total: 88+50+50+30+20+30 = 268....WTF...Shop old name is New G*** at Upp Bukit Timah Area. Now got new name already, very famous shop. Most of the shop at Bukit Timah area cannot go...

Let them grow la..why you worry so much. If all bros can stick together and support only those 50-55 range, you think they can last long with high rental and overhead cost? I always felt we are the one that are supporting the business. Without our patronising, they can close shop

I think you are filthy rich. If not please don't let them lead you by the nose! Show your style and who you are. Just reject and walk off. When you see $88...just walk off!

[garagez]

Just say No , why bother ,but there still some carrot head walking in, for me a big NO

LOL..hahahah! that area and district is where the rich people stay. So I guessed when they visited these spas, they just flaunt theri money as they like as long as they get what they want. To them money is nothing and this type of behaviour must have set the momentum going and the trend over there.

Support you ! We must support the $50-$55 and refrain and boycott the $88 type
