You are preaching to the choir but.
[QUOTE=BawdyBeau;6704942]You might be overpaying my friend.
40/80/120 is pretty standard nation wide, even in places like Orlando, FL which is considered one of the best AMP cities in the nation.
A buddy of mine lives in Seattle / Portland and its the same there too.
Lexington is a very cheap cost of living city. We definitely shouldn't be expected to pay MORE than far more expensive cities.
Hold to the standard prices guys. None of these spas are overflowing with business.[/QUOTE]I am completely on your side. There are two major problems. Unfortunately the ladies who are diamonds in the ruff are using it to their full advantage. Look at how prices at Sun's and Stone in Louisville have gone up. Competition breeds better talent and tightens up the cost. When there is non or the best FS spas are owned by the same people it becomes a monopoly. An the second problem is the simps (urban dictionary that if needed). They will pay whatever they are told to pay, and say nothing on here or boast about how money is no problem (could be spa owners) I don't know. Also, out of town guys who live in an extremely dry area with nothing within 100 miles of them. They don't care to throw around money when they get that one chance to blow their load. Perhaps if the recession ever hits a re-balance will happen with money getting tight. We can only hope.
The solution is to hold to those prices and just deal with the attitude, pouting, and less than stellar service you will likely get. Honestly $40 for an hour is good money, $40 for half an hour is damn good money. We haven't even explored the prices for anything more. I specifically stay away from renowned FS places for this reason. They don't command the expectation for the highest pricing. Fact is we live in a I want it now society and immediate gratification is the only thing the majority care about.
Golden Thumb is a Waste of Time
[QUOTE=Pippin24;6705670]Very curious about this myself. I tried to get in this morning but when I called to make sure they weren't busy she told me to just come tomorrow. LOL. Will go soon and keep you posted if I am successful.[/QUOTE]I went to Golden Thumb out of curiosity myself earlier this year. The massage was ok at best with a towel on the whole time and no traces that a HE finish would ever be on the menu. Very disappointing. On the flip there was a hand and scalp massage and then "ok finish" and the provider just walked out of the room. I got dressed and walked out.
