Well after reading this thread I gotta say Allegra handled this very unprofessionally. Hope the OP gets a refund, in full.
Ashley from Allegra

Just a suggestion - don’t wait for the lady to ask you to have a shower and use mouth wash. If you read the ladies’ posts on twitter you will see that one of their biggest complaints is that they have to ask men to shower and use mouth wash.
The two small things you can do on arriving to put the lady at ease and that will help to ensure a better visit are:
1. Hand over the envelope
2. Offer to take a shower and while you are there use the mouthwash.

Well it’s 3 straight weeks now. Gotta say I’m disappointed in the lack of variety. Maybe there is no one else available but comes off like we are getting the afterthought bookings. I don’t come enough to really matter but the 3 weeks in a row is odd. Oh well.
Its too bad they aren't bringing their best line up of girls Like Lola and Aura.
Ashley has allot of bad reviews from the Toronto boards. Looks like they are sending a Toronto reject to us while they keep the best
You said your piece, and quite frankly you're part of the reason why other Allegra SPs don't want to visit Ottawa... They read comments like these and think twice about visiting. Ashley is happy to extend her stay to see her Ottawa regulars, and the guys who enjoy her company. So, your fellow hobbyists in Ottawa can thank you for being the broken record that keeps talent out of your city, and perhaps they'll reconsider the veracity of your claims based on your repetitive postings. You might think you're warning off other clients, but you're actually just scaring off other SPs. Well done.
Quite a few of our top SPs visited Ottawa in the past, and some had good visits, but others ran into guys like Danou and decided they didn't want to come back. We're a collective, not an agency - the SPs who are part of Allegra decide when they'd like to work, and where. We don't tell them they have to visit certain locations, and they share their experiences with each other. But we certainly can't ask them to visit again, especially when pushy clients like Danou make it their mission to harp on and on about less-than-stellar experiences, for weeks after the fact.
As Admirer explained, there are things that clients can do to impact how the experience goes. While his post referred to two things that you can do in-session, it doesn't end there. The girls aren't robots, and a client's conduct before, during, and after the session has a big impact on what experiences may or may not be available to you in the future.
So Ashley visits Ottawa because of her regulars here even though she's been negatively reviewed many times but the other awesome girls who have been praised by Ottawa (possibly amassed lots of regulars) won't come here because of our reputation for reporting bad dates and being honest as clients???
Makes perfect sense to me...

If Ashley is previously Sonya @Mirage, she's always had mixed reviews. You either get 7th cloud experience or bad and regrettable one. I myself was very interested in seeing her (years ago) but decided not to after seeing how the experience is very YMMV.
Regarding Allegra, I totally understand defending the ladies, and I had nothing but fantastic experience with them, but they have to listen to both their ladies AND clients, especially well established clients, to avoid such reviews in future. It's better than replaying to bad reviews negatively like the ladies are untouchable. I mean this the whole purpose of the reviewing board, posting reviews no matter if they are good or bad, not only marketing and advertising the ladies, right?

This will be our last comment on this subject.
Despite his thoroughly-condescending "suggestions" about "business 101", clearly Danou isn't interested in helping us in any way, shape, or form. The fact that he admitted to yelling at our phone representative, didn't think he needed to take a shower on arrival, and has now gone so far out of his way to maliciously attack Ashley (ad nauseum) speaks more to his character than anything else. We're not in the habit of calling out people on Terb, so the fact that it happens so rarely should speak to our professionalism and restraint. Our large presence in Toronto, combined with the very high satisfaction reported by both Terb members and the SPs who work with us, should tell most observers that Allegra is not, as Danou claimed, "not much better than your local pimp ripping you off."
Regarding Ashley: We have been aware of her mixed reviews on Terb for quite some time. We appreciate that this is a valuable tool for hobbyists to use, and we do not ask negative comments to be taken down. However, Terb reviews are not the only barometer for client satisfaction, and anyone who has booked with us is aware that we solicit opinions from every single client who books with us; even Danou was sent one of our forms (which he declined to complete). We send the feedback form at the beginning of the appointment to eliminate sample bias, and the direct feedback we receive dwarfs the terb feedback by a considerable margin. Our internal metrics show Ashley's NPS score to be much higher than Terb reviews would suggest, and we will stick by her for that reason. We again encourage Terb members to make their own judgements.
We understand that some agencies might have thrown some money Danou's way to keep him quiet, or subjected another SP to his behaviour by offering him a large credit towards a future visit. Perhaps that would have been a better business strategy, given how this thread has blown up. But we are not an agency, by the traditional definition; our goal is broader than simply maximizing market share, or profit margins, or any of the other goals that agencies have. We believe - strongly - that SPs deserve better treatment than they receive at some agencies, or receive from certain clients, and the way we operate is based around those principles. That's the entire purpose for the Allegra Collective's existence, and because we're 100% run by SPs, we will hold to those principles even if it costs us money. Our clients are the SPs who choose to work with us, and we will not throw them under the bus to appease someone as pushy and entitled as Danou has shown himself to be.
