Balance on arrival, before the ritual begins
The balance on arrival is the part of the fee still owed when she comes through the door, settled once at the outset in cash, by card or in crypto.
A booking is paid in one or two parts. Where a deposit has been placed, the balance is the other half. Where no deposit applied, the balance is the whole price. Either way it is settled in person at the start of the visit, so that the matter of money is closed before the session begins and does not sit in the room waiting to be raised at the end.
How it may be settled
At the door, three forms of payment serve. Every price is in euro, and that euro figure is what the booking costs. Banknotes in another major currency, dollars or pounds for instance, can meet the balance, and the exact amount in that currency is confirmed to you in writing in the thread before she sets out, so no conversion is worked out at the door. A card works equally well. Cryptocurrency is accepted too. Mentioning the method in the thread saves a moment later.
When the whole price waits for the door
There is one kind of booking settled entirely on arrival, and it is narrow: a same-day massage lasting an hour or two, for someone the house already knows from an earlier booking. It is a side door, not the main one. A first booking is not included, nor is a booking placed more than a day ahead, an overnight, anything running to three hours or beyond, two therapists, a Schiphol or airport-hotel visit or a peak date. Each of those carries a deposit, and for each of them the balance is the second half.
Two figures make the difference plain. A returning client asking for ninety minutes tonight pays the whole fee when she arrives, and nothing beforehand. A client booking the same ninety minutes for the first time places half of that fee ahead and hands over the other half on arrival. The deposit entry lists every case that requires one, every profile among the therapists carries the rates, and the order of messages is on the booking page.
