Scheduled an appt with one of the studio's, and was quoted $$$ for the hour. What is going on in Dallas? Rates are increasing and requests to pay more for services that used to be included.

Which studio?
It's been that for quite a while.

No, it wasn’t that last week, when it was still 280. This is new as of this week for at least one of the studios because I have appointments both weeks. One of the studios was already at 300 but not the others.

I guess Biden and the Fed aren’t raising interest rates fast enough to truly curb inflation. In this case whore-flation.

I’m drawing the line at $$$. One more bump from these places past that line and I’m done with them for the year.

4 more months yes, but going to Thailand at the end of the year so I’ll be in heaven after that. Haha!

can confirm kfest is $$$ now
For those that think it is just a Dallas thing or a US thing, it is literally across the globe. Even Asia and Latin American are up nearly 30%-50% fron even 12 months ago with very little room for negotiation because someone somewhere set a precedent by paying the bid and not the ask. I hate when I see ads that state good service isn't cheap and cheap service isn't great. There is no correlation between the two. If anything, the law of diminishing returns is a greater factor. If a bbbj 2 years ago was the going rate of 60-100 and now due to external factors it's 100-150 did the commodity improve in quality and value? Chances are no, but that is the new adjusted price of admission. It is what it is. If you don't like it, then do what myself and others have done and plan you a life changing, ball draining trip a couple of times a year. If you see a US provider weekly, then I would challenge you to leave the country for at least two weeks and tell me how different the experience is/was.
Thanks Brandon.
