Break Time between sessions

Is it just me or do others feel like some Spas/MAs overbook and don't leave enough time between sessions so the MA can relax. A couple of times I've felt this, especially on Weekends. Session felt rushed because MA had an appointment immediately after mine. So she's in a rush to clean the table/bed and show me out towards the end of my session.
Sometimes the lady shows up late because the previous session ended late or something came up then I'm shorted a couple of mins. Also if I booked towards the end of her shift then she is tired after a busy day. When I experience these things I don't repeat. We're all human and need a little break to recuperate. I'm mindful of my time and don't overstay so I request that I'm not shorted on time or service.

Now SFT is a reputable SP agency in Toronto which keeps 30 mins between sessions so that the lady has enough time to relax and if there was a delay in one booking then it doesn't affect the next client. I think this is a great business practice and translates to quality service and repeat clientele. I hope more Spas and Indies follow this practice for a better experience. With rates increasing I hope the service improves as well.
Thoughts?

Several people including myself have brought up the break time between session before. Only Brass (15 min break built in) and Vibe has 15 min break.

CMJ and AT/PS have no break time between sessions. They will book people back to back all day long so use your common sense and don't your session immediately after another session.
I believe ALO have 10 or 15 min break.

Indy Adele has the best model. She has 2 hours slot where she only fits either a 60 minutes or a 90 minutes session

Why break time between session? Give the MA time to get ready for the next session: cleaning the room, a breather or may be a quick bite. Also as clients, we don't feel rush. It is a bad impression in my book especially when I see the MA cleans the room while the session is not over yet. Also a greater chance of bumping into the next guy.

It is even worst when I see indy providers doing back to back with no break time.

No break time between session = assembly line operate by robot OR by by a human but she will cut into your paid time.
Anyway, good luck in getting change to 30 minutes break time between session in Ottawa.

Rate increasing do not mean better services LOL.

Thank you for the info. 15 mins break between sessions and 30 mins after 2-3 appointments should be the norm. Good to know some Spas at least have 15 min break time. I don't think anyone could massage 3-6 people and give equal attention to all of them without a break.

When I'm late for a session I never cut the time shorter. If I'm late 5 minutes then I add an extra 5 minutes to the end of the session

That's great Asia. I've mostly had MAs extend if they were late but sometimes it felt they were tired from a long day or previous session. Which I think a 15-30 min break would help solve.

That's a good idea hoffa68. Thank you for the suggestion.
