Well? Straight men can go to female prostitutes, straight females can hire gigolos, and gay men can go to gay prostitutes. How about lesbians? ---

While I haven’t directly observed it, I would say yes, just based on the principle that wherever there’s a demand, there’s a supply. I have a feeling, though, that the market might be too limited to specialize exclusively in lesbians with any success. What I have observed directly is that there are strippers who have no qualms about giving private (and rather intimate) lap dances for lesbian customers. ---

Yes. One was a neighbor of mine. Oh, she ‘serviced’ men too, and made no bones about her bi-sexuality. Not at all uncommon, in certain price ranges. No, I never her, but we did share the same laundry room, and she was friendly and fairly forthcoming. ---

There is at least one escort service in the UK that offers female escorts to a women-only clientele. I can’t recall their name right now, but I remember reading an article about them. They claimed to offer services from “rent-a-friend” or “rent-a-date” type arrangements to sex services. ---

I don’t know if it’s the same service that Ultraviolet mentioned, but I’ve seen several of the “phone card” girls in Knightsbridge that offer to service women as well as men. I had a card once that was “exclusively for womyn”, but long since lost it. ---

In SF, I was told you can find them on Violet Street. Guys who serve guys you’d find on Polk street, that was 18 years ogo though. ---

As I understand it, you can hire a woman to #%!!! your &^%\* with a #@!& while four gay dogs look on and are fed #\*&, so it doesn’t seem unlikely that you can find women who claim to offer their sexual services exclusively to women.
