Standard tip in San Diego area
Normally $40 is the standard tip for an HJ at a $40 an hour place, usually an older woman, usually some roaming over the clothes and usually a decent massage and a decent but not exceptional HJ experience. Under those parameters of $40 tip is realistic.
However if you're allowed UTC access and / or it's just a really enjoyable positive experience $60 is not unreasonable. Some girls allow ample access. Some girls are just warm personable and cute and know how to make you feel great, those are the ones that are $60 tip is not unreasonable.
However places that have more on the menu, the girls typically get higher tips so it's not surprising they would ask. A session with you for a tip $40 versus an opportunity for her to earn $120 or $140 tip isn't a good business proposition from her point of view. She's in a business to support herself and the question is simply did she sacrifice a better money making opportunity to provide service to you. The answer is sometimes yes sometimes no.
If they're busy and they turn away good customers they lost an opportunity to enhance their revenue. Sometimes they're not busy and they're lucky to get what they get. Their work is very unpredictable.
In the case of many of the girls at V spa (and particularly the one that you mentioned Ada) are both young and very attractive girls that will allow good access (in my experience at least).
To be perfectly honest I get very few HJ there and I go there frequently, but the girl that has a wide open menu will also to be more generous with the roaming access provided to her customers.
Short answer: a $60 tip would've probably been fair and reasonable because of the quality of a girl and her willingness to provide good service.
A lot of the $40 an hour HJ only places where it's a very old lady who is rushed, hurried and not friendly, than 60 would not be a reasonable tip request in my opinion.
As always your mileage will vary and the tip is just your measure of gratitude for the experience.
When you are talking about a girl like Ada at V spa, it's a pretty good bet it would be a very good experience being with her.
[QUOTE=BoulderBoy;3984105]Hello San Diego Mongers.
I have the honor of being able to occasionally visit your great city. I remembered seeing some reviews on V Spa and decided to check it out. My plan was just to get familiar with it as FS was not on the budget this time around. There are definitely some cuties there. I opted for Ada, a very pretty girl who said it was her first or second day there. I almost chose Cindy based on some previous reviews AND because she came in to hug me. However, she wouldn't be ready for another 10 minutes and I really liked Ada's face. Very cute.
The massage was outstanding from a technical standpoint. It was CMT quality. I was very impressed and, as I'm on the road a lot, was exactly what I needed. However, she gave the hand gesture for HJ and quoted $60. Is that the going rate down there? Here in LA it's typically $40. I passed and actually told her to massage me for a full hour instead as her massage was incredible.
So, I didn't score this time around but I'll be back since I know I can get a CMT quality massage and go all the way. She had made a humping motion too which was funny to me! She said she'd discuss that pricing when I go back. One thing worried me though. She had a blister on her lip.
Anyway, what is the going rates at this place and in S. Diego in general? And does Cindy or the others massage as well as what I described or is she more sensual and to the point?[/QUOTE]
