Here is the cold hard $$$ math. For my legit masseuse, she charges $110 per hour plus my voluntary tip so say $120 per hour. People complains, "OMG, $110 an hour, what is this world coming to, so expensive, I only want to pay $80!!!" From the $120, you take off the $40 which the spa would take, that leaves her with $80 for the hour, roughly $1.33 per minute. No matter how long I stay, it is $1.33 per minute. Worst if you look at the actual hard labour part of the massage, her applying therapeutic level pressure to my body for the full time, so $1.33 per minute of hard labour. For those who constantly complain about masseuse rates, consider what you personally are willing to do for $1.33 per minute.
