Maybe I'm just a prude, but adding alcohol to the MA business model seems like trouble. How do you untangle consent issues when the client, provider or both have been drinking? I know strip clubs have similar issues but, in theory at least, the champagne rooms are open and the rules are (supposedly) well defined. In the MA world, once two people disappear into that room who's to say what happened and what was agreed upon, etc...
Personally as a client, a spa with a liquor license is more trouble than its worth.
Just some Sunday morning thoughts. Climbing off the soap box now.
When we opened 2 and half years ago, we were the first establishment of its kind to hold a full time liquor and food license.
We take this license very seriously. Our bar is a controlled environment with all bar staff having smart serve certifications, a breathalyzer on hand and the authority to ask anyone to leave at anytime.
Gross intoxication within our facilities is not and will not be tolerated.
On top of that, our hostesses are not permitted to bring personal alcohol on site, similar to other facilities with a liquor and food license.
Does it make sense to assume that because another facility doesn't have a liquor license really mean that their massage attendants have not been drinking during work shifts?
Not pointing fingers, just putting it out there.
I guess it's a matter of YMMV. Of course this can be said for basically anything, let alone with MAs.
I score my experiences at Brass as 1-1-1. A W, a L, and a N/A
My first visit wasn't necessarily bad but it was still an L, the session with the MA left me feeling underwhelmed. Based on the reviews I read (not of her specifically) but of other people's experiences at Brass, I felt like I wasn't getting the experience others positively glowed about.
My second visit was much better, ergo a W. The MA I booked a session with made me almost forget about my first go, and she left me feeling very positive about coming back to see her, at least until she left and I never got the chance for a repeat.
My third visit actually didn't happen, so N/A. Firstly because the MA I booked it with initially was cleared from the schedule. There was another MA I was interested in seeing but I ended up getting sick that evening and didn't book a follow up.
Main reason I haven't gone back is because I can really only go on weekends and I guess weekends aren't so busy there because there's fewer MAs compared to the rest of the week and the ones I am most curious about currently are all working weekdays. Ah well.
It's too bad the OP had a negative first experience. I understand if they won't be going back but hey, I took a chance a 2nd time and maybe the bar wasn't set very high but the MA I was with definitely cleared it and then some. Just may need to find a more compatible MA to get the kind of experience you'd like.
Compatibility can be a strange thing.
I make recommendations all the time and I'm happy to cater. It's especially easy with regular gentlemen who frequent the club often. I know exactly what they like and let them know who among the new hostesses is similar to the hostesses they've seen in the past, if they ask.
I'm present at the Brass Club for several hours at a time on a daily basis and get to know the hostesses well.
Plus, I still do duo sessions, which means I know first hand what gentlemen I've seen in the past appreciate the most in session.
It must be difficult to choose a girl as a client and even worse when a session is disappointing and not what you want. This is absolutely the opposite of what we want to achieve at the Brass Club.
It is a customer service industry and I would like to offer this service to whomever is interested.
