Have you heard of Taiwanese–style hostess entertainment venues or massage parlors? How about a ‘Li K’ shop? The full name is ‘Beauty Salon Private Karaoke Room,’ offering facial treatments, massages, private karaoke rooms, and hostess services. It’s like a combination of Taiwanese hostess entertainment venues and massage parlors, allowing you to relax while enjoying drinks with hostesses. Sounds like a blast, right? Ryan will guide newcomers on how to enjoy a ‘Li K’ shop, including pricing, so you can quickly become a pro in the adult entertainment industry!

What Are Private Karaoke Rooms in Grooming Salons? Logic What is K?

A grooming salon with private karaoke rooms, commonly known as ‘LiK’ or ‘audiovisual grooming,’ is a place where you can tidy up your appearance and enjoy a private karaoke session. Although it seems like a hybrid business model, the establishment actually separates the ‘grooming’ and ‘private karaoke room’ services. However, customers can enjoy both activities in one location.

In the past, grooming salons with private karaoke rooms primarily offered grooming and massage services. However, due to intense market competition and the popularity of karaoke and private karaoke rooms as entertainment venues in Taiwan, these establishments began to combine grooming with the Taiwanese–style entertainment of private karaoke rooms. Many groomers started moonlighting in private karaoke rooms, offering companionship and sometimes engaging in sexual transactions or manual services. This gradually evolved into the current model of grooming salons with private karaoke rooms.

How do the services and pricing work at a beauty salon?

At a beauty salon, the hostesses not only provide haircuts, beauty treatments, and massages, but also sing, drink, chat, and play games with you. If you have special massage requests, you can move to a private room for those services.

However, not every hostess offers massage services, so be sure to ask beforehand. Some hostesses do offer special services, but these require an additional fee.

Due to the mixed business model of private karaoke rooms in beauty salons, we will explain the experience in two parts:

Beauty Salon

Services at the beauty salon are usually located on the 2–3 floor of the private karaoke room, offering haircuts, ear cleaning, facials, shaving, manicures, and stress–relief massages. The massage options include full–body massage, acupressure, and simple massages.

The specific details of the service are confirmed between you and the beautician (therapist), focusing on beauty–related services without including hostess services. For those, you need to go to the private karaoke room.

Beauty salon pricing is calculated in 30–minute sessions, each costing about NT$ 500–600, with the average session lasting around 2 hours.

Private Karaoke Room

If you’re looking for something more exciting and fun, head to a private karaoke room in a grooming shop. It’s similar to a typical Taiwanese–style hostess entertainment venue, mainly offering singing, games, chatting, and table–side service.

However, the private karaoke room in a grooming shop operates on a ‘private table system’, meaning once a hostess is seated, the charges start, and she won’t serve other tables unless you settle the bill or request a change. If you like a particular hostess, you can request her specifically.

The pricing for a private karaoke room is generally based on the Taiwanese–style hostess entertainment model, usually without a room fee, just a hostess fee, drink charges, and tips. A hostess session (6 rounds) costs about 1200–2400, averaging 200–400 per round. Drinks are around 300–400 per set, and tips are at your discretion.

What’s the difference between grooming karaoke, Taiwanese–style hostess venues, and stress–relief massage?

A grooming private karaoke room, or ‘grooming K’, is essentially a combination of a Taiwanese–style hostess venue and a massage parlor, offering grooming and massage services along with karaoke and drinks. Most places don’t provide intimate services; you need to privately discuss with the hostess if you’re interested in such services. The groomer focuses solely on grooming and massage.

Summary of Pros and Cons of Grooming Private Karaoke Rooms

The advantage of a grooming private karaoke room is that it’s much cheaper than a typical Taiwanese–style hostess venue, often more than half the cost. However, the downside is that intimate services are not as comprehensive, and entertainment options are limited.

If you’re at a grooming K and want to enjoy more intimate skills from a hostess, you can only inquire privately. If they’re not available, you’ll need to visit a Taiwanese–style hostess venue or a manual stimulation shop. Most hostesses are older, and their appearance and physique may not be as appealing, which is why the prices are lower.

In a Taiwanese–style hostess venue, you can take a hostess out to a room or have her perform a dance for you. A manual stimulation shop can offer prostate care, manual stimulation, oral services, and more, with hostesses generally having better looks and figures.

If you’re really looking for a high–end experience with attractive and daring companions, it’s best to visit Taiwanese–style entertainment venues. Although it’s a bit pricey, you’ll find it worth every penny, truly understanding what paradise feels like. If you’re just looking to relieve some tension, places like handjob parlors or sex shops might be more suitable.

Private karaoke room terminology in salons

If it’s your first time at a salon, it’s advisable to learn some of the terminology. Otherwise, you might not understand what the staff are saying, and you risk being overcharged. Here are some common terms used in salons; it’s recommended to do some homework before visiting.

  • Massage room: Refers to a private massage room.
  • K–room: A private karaoke room.
  • PR: Manager of the salon.
  • Therapist: In salons, there are no hosts; massage therapists are called relaxation therapists, aromatherapy therapists, or beauticians.
  • Working/Doing business: Similar to sitting with clients in Taiwanese–style entertainment venues.
  • Regular: A returning customer.
  • Going out: Similar to booking a companion in Taiwanese–style venues, requires at least a 2–hour booking.
  • Adding: When a massage room already has one therapist, and the client wants to arrange for a second one to join.
  • Old choice: Indicates the client can only choose from available companions.
  • Taking out: When a client originally spends in the salon but later wants to take the companion out.
  • Full venue: This means the entire establishment is available.

Things to note when visiting a K salon

Private karaoke rooms in salons may have some similarities with Taiwanese–style entertainment venues, but there are many differences. So, when visiting a private karaoke room in a salon, it’s advised to pay attention to the following 5 points to avoid any pitfalls!

Research the establishment’s reputation before going

Before heading to a K salon, it’s recommended to check online reviews of the establishment to see if there are any issues, to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Understand the services and pricing in advance

Clarify the services and pricing beforehand to see if they meet your needs and if the prices are reasonable.

Choose a hygienic and safe establishment

Some disreputable establishments might not ensure the quality and health of their staff, or may not clean and disinfect regularly. It’s advised to choose a K salon with a better environment, rather than opting for a cheap but rundown one.

Be mindful of your own safety

Although K salons are considered relatively straightforward in the adult industry, the environment can still be complex. It’s important to be mindful of your personal safety while enjoying the services.

Check if the bill is inflated or if time is being shorted

Some massage parlors cut corners to make more money by shortening the service time from an hour to 50 minutes, allowing them to serve more clients. In private karaoke rooms, they might sneak extra charges for snacks and drinks onto the bill, so be sure to keep track of what you order and the time the hostess spends with you.

Conclusion

Massage private karaoke rooms combine haircuts, beauty treatments, massages, and private karaoke, offering a low–cost entertainment option. However, Ryan advises you to be prepared for lower quality service, as the hostesses here often have lower standards and may have moved from other entertainment venues where they couldn’t succeed, so encountering older hostesses is not uncommon.

If you’re not interested in interacting with older women and prefer younger girls with more physical interaction, you might want to visit a high–end relaxation massage parlor!
