Why did Phoebe hate massage parlors?

Question

Though Phoebe was working as Massage Professional, why did she hate massage parlors? And convincing her friends not to go there?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you are talking about the episode The One With The Fertility Test (S9Ep21):

Rachel receives a gift certificate to get a free massage at a chain massage center, which Phoebe doesn't want her to take advantage of as she feels it takes away business from independent massage therapists like herself.

What Phoebe doesn't tell Rachel is that she's one of the employees at the very same massage center. However, she has a hard time concealing her identity to Rachel, her client, during her massage.
