S1: 3-7pm
S2: 7-11pm
S3: 11pm-3am
Happy hour applies for Shift 1/Sundays where tipping charge range between $50-$70, not including add-ons such as HJ/BJ/CIM ($200-300). Customer volume are also usually lower during this time hence the HH charges.
For peak shifts, tipping starts at $100. The popular ones can easily service up to 4-5 rooms where they hop from room to room per shift (that's a guaranteed $500 in tips assuming there's no add-ons). Take-out fee starts at $600 for 1 shot these days. If you're frisky/adventurous enough, can even fuck the KTV girl in the room lol.
Not sure how much has changed since my last visit so your estimate of $2k a night is not far off the mark. Have to note this applies to the top tier girls only haha so it is absolutely believable for Erina to say she has much prettier colleagues.
If I'm not wrong, the joint takes a cut of their earnings too (KTV regular bros do correct me if I'm wrong). And yes bro, hope bro VP can entice more KTV girls to this trade.  |
I guess this is a discussion more suited to the other sub-forums, but KTV earnings for girls can vary depending on which KTVs they work at, and whether they are freelancers who are free to move around different KTVs or whether they are under work permits that tie them to a particular KTV.
ST fees for the more mainstream KTVs are now $400-600 a pop. The mami may take a small $50-100 cut, or none at all, depending on the factors above. Same with the sitting fees. For the higher-end KTVs, where the likes of Alin used to moonlight at, sitting and ST fees can go even higher.
The KTV scene in Singapore is quite different from the rest of the world, as in many (not all) Singapore customers expect a lot of action in the room, from groping and kissing, to even stripping, fingering, or even BJs/FJs. This is quite different from other countries, even Vietnam where the girls are from, where there's not that much hanky-panky happening. That said, some girls are willing to come to SG to work in KTVs because the butterfly system helps to boost their earnings.
Angela was sharing that she often gets cancelled by customers who have picked her because the mami will tell the customers upfront that her playability is low, but even then she averages 2-3 rooms on quieter nights and up to 6 rooms on busy nights. Multiply that by 2-3 sessions per night, and the possibility of additional earnings from providing extras, and you can estimate how much they earn.
Another "advantage" for the girls to work KTV instead of being FLs is that they usually get to choose which customers they wanna be daboa-ed by, as opposed to FLs who have to service whoever turns up at their door. Fat, ugly, old, rude, dirty - they have no choice. That's why I always advice bros to practise good personal hygiene and be more gentlemanly to the FLs. We can't change our age or looks, but at least we can be clean, smell nice and treat them politely. You want the girls to french you, then at least try to make sure your breath smells good. Don't have a cig or have a meal of curry or onions before your session. You want to finger the girls, then make sure your nails are trimmed and clean. Sometimes that can be the difference between receiving an SOP treatment vs passionate love-making with full suite of services thrown in.
Anyway, I hope I didn't derail the thread too much. As with what bro Kingsmen said, hopefully more KTV girls will switch to FL work instead of the other way around.
