Lavender Spa Thread Gone?

Is that for an owner? Or attendant?

I think that is for an attendant plus they have to do a yearly checkup.

Just curious. Blue Nile is one of the few who has this licence. At one time I was told that she has a hard time getting MPA to work because they need to be licenced. Now I see so many new ones especially those coming from well known spas.

Anything changed? Or are these MPA moonlighting without a licence.

Her business is worth a lot just for the licence alone as the City of Toronto do not issue any more Body Rub Licence.

I had the same question, haven't called that was in the AI summary google generates. If it for an owner that is chicken feed and not sure why it would be an issue, less than utilities for a couple of months, and can be written off.

Even for an attendant that is less than most competent girls make in a week, so a bit of an inconvenience; but if a one time expense vs annual, again not so onerous.

Maybe this is all a tempest in a teapot, for the by-law issue versus the zoning. and the hysteria is due to language and business barriers to fully comprehending the problem?

One lady asked me to check for her, waiting to hear back and may inquire further if that is what she wishes.

That’s not for the business…but individual.

As mentioned, not all the spas can apply for this, it depends on their zone.

Should be annual

 

[Ambler]

Should be annual

Again, less than the weekly income for a competent attendant. Cost of doing business and should be deductible on income tax.

Richmond Hill also mentions an exemption for reflexology. Any idea if that is an option for some of the attendants?

There are only 25 businesses with body rub licenses, you can have your business apply for a bodyrub licence but the application process is closed and has been a long time. Meaning no new businesses can get bodyrub licences. Only girls can apply to get there personal body rub license and go work at a licenced place.
So all the spas facing these hardships do not have the option of pivoting and getting a bodyrub licence to operate there spa.

You're annoyingly relentless man. Like nails on a chalk board. How many eyes must roll when they read the same garbage from you over and over.

Let's say you're not a puppet of the Bellagio promoter (you are still most definitely Gunnar ) What is your motivation to continue to relentlessly hound and troll?
1. Nothing to do?
2. Mentally unstable.
3. ?????

On the other hand, my take is that Social Misfit is a fake id puppet of the Bellagio promoter whose character is designed specifically to police and bully, to deter opposition.

Why else would Social Misfit hound everyone that opposes the Bellagio promoter (Brad/XTC) and Brad not answer for himself??? Ever.

Brad/XTC's full time job is MP, and promoting obviously first and foremost Bellagio, but other fs spas as well.

He has it set up with the various spas to create traffic and in return gets compensated. To do this, he has numerous fake ids who charade as clients that provide exaggerated reviews/descriptions to attract interest which leads to traffic to the spa.

Maniacly genius! It must work however, how many of us have been duped when we attend based on the review/description to discover that it was completely misleading? I know I have been numerous times.

As the overwhelming majority of MP members(likely 90% or more) only read and don't post for fear of their significant other finding out, we only hear from a small percentage of those who have been duped by this scoundrel!!!

My advice, and I should listen to myself, is to not even respond!

Blower, I thought we put his shit behind us, now you want to dig it up again?

Now you think I'm gunnar again, make up yer mind will ya, u fucking incompetent.

Listen to yerself, do yerself a favor, stop replying to me man.

You know I'm only one person on here, but I hate averagejoe-idiot as well, almost as much as you boy

It takes a lot to navigate City Hall to get any licences especially anything related to any type of massage. It took me 5 visits to finally get mine.

And technically it does not allow us to do a full body massage. But we now at least have a licence hanging on the wall.

It really depends on the zone the spa is in. Some zones are very restrictive. I suspect Reflexology would fall under Personal Services which is not allowed in many zones.

RMTs are allowed pretty much everywhere but Bylaw will be more stringent checking them in the future. I was told being certified in Acupuncture is also permitted at most locations.

Many MPAs don’t want the body rub license on their record. Some are or plan to do RMT so they don’t want to be associated with body rub at all. Others are worried (justified or not) that people can search and find their names on the internet.

You are talking about Toronto. It is not closed in Richmond Hill…

Someone in promotion should take the bull by the horns here, do the due diligence and find out what is required, then offer a package to various owners to help them navigate the process. Familiarity helps when dealing with bureaucracy from my experience, so being able to handle the problem for a group is beneficial to both sides in getting things sorted. Again, by law and licensing is different than zoning, but for the size of this industry and the money generated just in EBC, man this shouldn't need to be so convoluted,

Having a RMT licence does not mean the business has a business licence to operate.

Speaking to a few owners they do not seem to know the difference between what licence the MPA has and what the business need.

They might not know better but the people around them - the promoters, long time customers, etc should have known better.

Get whatever licence you need first to operate first. Worry about what you can or cannot do later.

According to ByLaw officer, if you have RMT lic, you can keep it open ( including 155, 165 EBC and 10 East Wilmot ), but the RMT has to be on site all the time and all the employees must also have RMT lic to provide massage. I told him it's quite impossible for all the employees to have RMT lic and almost all RMT clinics have only one RMT lic holder and the rest are all helpers with no lic. He said he knows that but they will be ticketed in Richmond Hill.

This is correct. Even some very well known "legit" spas that have been operating for over 20 years will be shut down soon. I have a package at one of them...I will need to use that up very soon.

 

[krayjee]

Is that for an owner? Or attendant?

Body Rub Lic is $6106
Owner's lic is $1,344
BRP attendant is only $366 each but no girls want to apply for it.

I have spent a lot of time going back and forth with both Bylaw and Zoning. There's really only one "feasible" option.

See if your zone can apply for Body Rub license...if not, you are shit out of luck. If you can, then you need to convince enough girls to get their license too because both the Business and the girls need to be licensed.

Btw, Bylaw is aware that the spas are looking for loopholes...

And that is what the spas in this so called Hot Zone need. Information and not speculation.

I hope come April 1st there will be a solution somewhere in the middle - between Body Rub and Full RMT on staff. Both these options are certainly not feasible based on the current situation.

 

[krayjee]

Suko? It is far from EBC area? Why would they shut it down by April 20?

They are in Richmond Hill. City and BtLaw is going after every spa in R Hill.
