Notti Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hey, people! Based on the Massage & Grooming Services forum, what do you think about the prices for massage services? Lately, I notice that there is a trend in price increase despite the economic downturn. For just an hour of massage which can go as high as $100 were mostly coming from the younger massuers whom I have patronized. What say you?

Ayuverdic is the one they rub alot of oil on your body? Last time wanted to try. Esp the one with oil dripping on forehead. But later afraid of erection. They will be a doctor or consultant kind of before starting of the oil rubbing. Very famous at little india. Need appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyglobe Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Is a demand and supply question, if u know someone charge $100 for an hour and u still go, what more can we say? Yes there are more retrenchment going on but economic downturn in SG? Can't really tell, restaraunts are still full on weekends, prices for a lot of things remain the same, people are rushing in to buy car and condo. I would say a reasonable range for an hour would be $50 to $70, definitely not more than $80. JB won't be open up until next year so for those who need their weekly fix, definitely have to find other alternatives. Notti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should insist that the price should nclude "extra services". Otherwise very expensive leh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of materialistic and physical pleasures is going downhill from now on. Yet the expectations are still there. Time for career counseling for those aspiring to supplement their incomes through turning tricks. Johor Bahru prostitutes head to Singapore to turn trickd whereas those people above go to Johor Bahru to look for means to come to Singapore to turn tricks.

gstringuy26 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I think not fair to compare between countries as the cost of living is different. Should compare in terms of pricing,skills and facilities? So what's the different between paying for $60 a session one that provides place and the other not?

I guess the younger ones need to supplement their income or maybe they lost their job. The older masseurs' could be cheaper.

cutejack Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Can compare coz their expenses not cheap either. My question is if those massage outlets charge higher means OK coz of overhead cost incurred but homebased still expensive means what does this shows? Greedy?

Yes, likewise 5 bottle vitagen cost rm4.50 compare to S$3, magnum cost rm4.50 compare to S$4.50, gardenia bread is rm2.50 compare to S$2.50. So a massage cost 20SGD is comparable to one that cost $60 in SG. Edited September 16, 2020 by lonelyglobe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsamore Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 It's is true that you can probably get two massages in JB for the price of one massage in Singapore but from my experience the cheap rates do come with drawback including no showering facilities, unclean towels, uncomfortable massage table, less than ideal ambiance, cheap massage oils and likely unqualified or uncertified masseurs. The better massage experiences would be at the better spas like Thai Odyssey but for these you have to pay similar prices you pay to Singapore home based massage providers. And as for gay massage establishments you should know very well that those young boys have very poor massage skills as they are more catered to provide extra services and while the establishments make an effort to make it as spa like as possible, it is nowhere near that of Thai Odyssey. That being said also take into consideration your time spent waiting in queue at the causeway and immigration going in and out. The masseurs there come and go and it would be a task looking for a regular masseur. Getting a good masseur is similar to that of looking for a good hair stylist. Once you find a good one that is able to provide for exactly what you need, it is likely that you will always want to look for the same one and not change about. Massage is a very personal and intimate experience, a regular masseur will not only learn how to work with your anatomy but will be able to build on the techniques that best suit you. While I would consider pricing and location when looking for a massage, the other factors like cleanliness, comfort , ambiance, facilities and product use like aromatherapy oils are equally important. Having a massage is all about the experience, alot needs to be achieved by the masseur within that short one or two hours. A masseur gets more skill and confidence with years of practice so sometimes an experienced hand is more important than the age of the masseur. So it's not a matter of whether a masseur is young or old but how experienced is he. Some masseurs have invested in their training and certification. Some maybe need to rent a place specifically to operate and rental in Singapore don't come cheap. Electric and water bills contribute to cost. Some may need to send the towels to laundromat etc. So if you are having a massage from a home base masseur these might be some of the expenses they might have to account for. Massage in Singapore is indeed more expensive than JB but it's a different country and expenses here are different too so it's not a fair comparison.

lonelyglobe Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yes, can't wait to go back Thai Odyssey, their normal price is comparable to SG but for the ambience, the skill down to the oil and customer service provided, is still a good bet.
