Massage Etiquette

Here are some massage etiquette tips to help you make the most of your massage.

If going to get a massage for the first time makes you nervous, you are not alone. Many people have their first massage experience when they get a gift certificate to a salon or from family and friend. Some people don’t even use the gift certificate because they are anxious about what will happen and the finer points of massage etiquette!

1. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your massage appointment so you will have time to check in.

2. Turn your cell phone to a lower volume setting or off if it’s not needed.

3. The biggest area of concern for most people is taking your clothes off for a massage. Don’t worry! Modesty is always preserved during massage.

4. Massage is usually done nude, but you are covered with a sheet at all times. Only the part of being massaged is exposed.

5. If you are more comfortable keeping your underwear on, that is fine.

6. If you are uncomfortable with anything during your treatment- the pressure, music, the temperature- please speak up. The therapist will make an adjustment and will not be offended.

7. You can talk during the treatment or stay quiet, as you choose. The therapist will follow your lead.

8. If the therapist says, “Take your time getting up” that usually means up to ten minutes. It is not an
invitation to take a nap as there may be another client waiting in the room.

9. Don’t forget to tip if you are happy with your service. If you were given a gift certificate, ask if the tip was included.

10. Please remember that all new gift certificates have to be purchased at the time of service to receive the VIP special of a discounted rate, or you will be charged the regular price.
