Also in one of vids these woman were literally pampering this one Vietnamese dude not sure if that's just normal service over there.
Another thing, as I am not really into the hooker scene, I will more likely be looking for normal girls, I assume their are more than enough that are not hookers right.
There are naughty places that claim to be hair cut shops as a cover. However, most places that say they are salons are actually salons. Probably the videos you saw are not naughty places. Just salons with pretty girls that cut hair, shampoo, facial, and body massage and tell you how handsome you are. In my limited experience at these places, they don't offer any "extra" services. Labor is extremely cheap here, and most every place you might be surprised at the staff to customer ratio (salons, restaurants, bars, etc).
There are plenty of normal girls. Bars and clubs are not usually great places to meet normal girls though. Normal girls do go out to these places, but the majority of girls there will be pros and it is often impossible to distinguish one from the other (unless she tells you she is a pro. If she tells you she is not a pro, she may still be a pro). Vietnamcupid.com, WeChat, and some others are decent places to meet girls online. Some pros use these as well, so you need to be somewhat careful still. Also, if the girl has a decent job, that is a good sign if you are seeking a non-pro.
