Ok, Real BxBrown, you are a very active member and I recognize you probably know much more about this scene than I do, including the business aspects.
But with all due respect, and I'm not trying to start a flame war. But:
How do you know how NR secures talent?
Are you saying you know for a fact that Emma finds these providers through direct 1-on-1 contact?
I searched the first 5 pages of search results for "Raninbow". I have many reviews. You have none. I've noticed many of your reviews. I don't recall you ever reviewing a provider at NR.
Apart from whether you've actually gone to NR, I thought every spa in America relies an army of "brokers" in China, Japan, America.
Like NYCSE, RS, XOXO cluster. Don't they work with "brokers" in Japan (and more levels)? This is based the reviews and comments here of others who seem knowledgeable.
That also just makes "business sense". It seems unlikely that the true owner or MMS ot every spa in America could somehow find ways to directly connect with providers throughout Japan and China and be able to strike deals for them to come to NYC for 2 weeks. Day after day, for years. While doing all their other daily tasks.
If you know exactly how spas procure talent, I would enjoy reading a detailed breakdown and will thank you for it.
