No more than 15 mins. Plenty of other shops to visit if have to wait too long especially if in city with plenty of options.

15 minutes max for me as I'm normally against the clock, but by the 10 minute mark I normally know if it will be happening or not. Have walked away before and will probably walk away again in the future

15-20 mins, depending if I know the Mamasan or the girl... For a new place i definitely think waiting 15 mins is a bit too much
Often it also comes down to how the receptionist handle the situation. One time I was asking about a WL on wechat, the receptionist said come take a look first. I knew something was off at that point, but still showed up because I'm dumbass. Could've believe my eyes when I walked in, fucking literally 3 groups guys were waiting, with 4 guys in every group. I ask the receptionist right away, like wtf, why did you ask me to come when there's no room. She just sheepishly smiled and said it's very fast. Like umm fuck no. I walked out right away, complete disrespect of customers time.
However, recently I went to the shop again. A different receptionist answered my msg. I booked the time, showed up, and again there were at least 7 people waiting. Since it was a different receptionist, he told me don't worry about the other guys, since I had already book with him, he saved a room for my time slot.
So there you, same shop, but 2 different outcomes with 2 different people handling the business.
The longest I have waited is 2 hours, no bullshit. The shop was busy and this was a Friday night so understandably, the shop was busy. During that time, I was hanging out with the boss and having a drink. We got chatting about stuff and the 2 hours flew. Before I knew it, my regular was available and in I went. It was my fault because I rocked up to the shop with no booking.
10 is no problem, 20 mins is okayish , 30 mins is a firm but polite "what's going on boss??" but from reading some punter opinions here, y'all acting like entitled queens.
Girls are entertaining you for the hour, after each hour she gets another guy, which this happens for quite a few hours in a row, jesus I mean the girl probably has to have shit at some point during the day and she ain't going to do it infront of you or cut your time short to snap one off, hence why she's late for your booking every now and then
Couldn't give a concern, wait walk .. isn't that part of a punt.... myself
I understand that "shit happens" (pun intended), for either party. But time is money, for both parties. I understand her time is valuable, so I do my utmost to arrive 5-10 minutes early just so I AM there. In a number of cases, I'll send her a personal message that I'm en-route (and some have sent me reminders, no doubt due to my age). But my time is also valuable and with limited windows, I do have alternate targets. If she's a regular, she has more leeway, but then, if she's a regular, she KNOWS (personal direct contact) I've booked her, so she'll do her best to meet OUR schedule. If she's an unknown, less leeway and I'm more likely to bail after 15-20. Then it's a win-win; she gets a respite and I'm on my way to an alternate oasis.Quote:

Personally, I've experienced everything from
- "Sorry, I'm sick so will not be working today" (even as I was en-route, but very much acceptable)
- "Please delay your arrival by 15 minutes due to the previous customer arriving late" (no problem)
- "Go ahead and shower, she'll be ready in 10 minutes". After a shower and 20 minutes, I asked where she was. "She said she's on her way but she's not here yet. I've tried, but she's not answering her phone". Bail, but I wished the shop would have been more up front initially.
- At the front desk, "Sorry, this is her first day, she's not here and she'd not answering our calls." Bail (and she never showed up for work).
very well said! there are times when things are out of control, for example train/bus cancellation, bad traffic etc... I don't have a problem to wait if I am informed in advance. However, I know there are certain shops that they intentionally accept overlapping bookings, mostly because of greed, and they make you wait, I consider this as a disrespectful act.Quote:

Depends on supply and demand but I would say 15mins.
No booking 20min
Booking 10min

I have come to realise that it is not a professional industry and the owners do not care about making you wait.
They only care about the bottom line and realise we are horny buggers so we will just wait.
Yes, it's ok to make us wait but if we are 5 mins late then they get upset.Quote:

10 mins is my go to, after 5 I'll ask for an update and if its longer than 10 I'll ask if anyone else is available or leave
15 minutes max, depends if it is one of your favourites.
If its a new place or popular girl somewhere I'm traveling far for I'll message ahead to confirm the appointment is still on time. If i haven't rung ahead and they're running late I'll see who else is available, always happy to see a line up (seeing as theres so much ai/photoshop going on with girls photos these days). depending on whos available or how long the wait is I'll either wait (up to 15mins) or chose someone different... cant waste that blue pill!!
i've had a bit of a run around from shops around the city... i'm usually upfront and tell them look i've paid parking up to X time, so if they're going to be any longer i need to know now whether to extend my parking or not.
If it's a long term regular then I'd be prepared to wait up to 15 minutes, no problem, it wouldn't even annoy me if they've always looked after me in the past.
If it's someone I've only seen a few times I'm probably going to suck it up but not bother to return to see her again.
40 minutes is a very long time to have to wait and it's pretty obvious the shop don't really value your repeat business over a walk in / the previous customer. No worries, you don't have to look after me and I don't have to return to the shop.
5 minutes, but if the shop contacts me to ask if I can move my booking, I usually accommodate them
20 minutes from my actually booking time
I’ve had this happen to me twice recently. Both times I booked well ahead. First time was just over 20mins wait and second time was just over 10mins wait.
I think waiting too long by yourself in the room just kills the mood and it defeats the purpose of making a booking in the first place, especially when we don’t have all the free time in the world.
I now wait up to 10mins at most past my booked time and if they are not ready then I politely ask for a refund and leave to try again another day. If the roles were reversed and I was over 10mins late I would get an earful.
We are the paying customers so a reasonable level of punctuality to a booking is expected.
Usually 20mins max unless they let me see the lineup I can wait up to 40mins.
Years ago I was in a MP at Miranda & the ML greeted me when I arrived & put me in a really small room & told me she would be about 5 minute after closing the door when she left.
I didn't bother getting undressed & just twiddled my thumbs for a while as she was obviously the only one there and had another customer. After about 20 minutes I thought "stuff this" and walked out. As I was closing the entry door I could hear some hurried footsteps inside & chuckled to myself on my way out.
Needess to say I never went back.
