FACIALS + MASSAGE for WOMEN
DO YOU OFFER SERVICES FOR MEN?
No, I feel called to work exclusively on Women only. My ladies love knowing that there aren't any men walking around to see them getting services.
DO YOU TAKE WALK-INS?
I prefer to work by appointment only so I can give my full attention to my clients, but you are more than welcome to call or text ahead to see how soon I can work you in. Speaking of full attention, I devote your entire appoinment time on you only, and I leave plenty of time between clients to avoid running behind schedule.
CAN I BRING MY KIDS?
I do not suggest bringing children along since I am trying to create a no stress atmosphere for you and my other clients. I'd much rather you relax and enjoy some quiet time here, instead of worrying about what your little ones are doing.
DO YOU TAKE CREDIT CARDS?
I prefer cash or check because I don't have to pay fees with those two options, but I do take credit and debit cards.
I'M TIRED OF FEELING RUSHED THROUGH SOME OF THE WALK-IN PLACES. WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SERVICES?
I am not taking on any new hair clients. I have a passion for doing massage, and have a calling to minister to women to help them managie their stress level while highly encouraging them to use massage as a preventative health resource. My clients appreciate the time I allow for each service, to make sure I have enough time for getting them to relax, doing quality work, and leaving plenty of time for checkout, conversation and clean up.
WHAT IF I'M RUNNING LATE?
Someone that occasionally runs a few minutes late usually does not create a problem, on a normal day. Someone that is 10 or more minutes late will have to receive their service in less time. If the service has to be forfeited and done at another time, there will be a fee charged. Emergencies (health & safety) are the only exception.
I HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN. CAN I GET A FACIAL?
Absolutely! I have sensitive skin myself, and I use skincare products that are natural from a health food store. You are welcome to bring your own products for me to use on you. I have 2 ladies that inquired about this, and then decided to try mine the first time, and they had no problems.
DO YOU SPEND THE WHOLE HOUR (FACIAL) WORKING ON THE FACE?
No. My Facial is all about relaxing. I do not analyze your skin under a magnifying light, nor do I ever squeeze pimples or blackheads. I do give a light, soothing massage on the face using my hands, hot towels, and sponges (because it feels good). Then I massage your hands, arms, and fingers, and finish with a neck, shoulder, and scalp massage. Most of my clients cannot decide which they enjoy the most - my Massage or my Facial!
DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS FROM YOU?
No. I do not even sell any skincare products. Other places might tell you all about your skin type and how to take care of it, and then send you out the door with $100 worth of fancy skincare products. My Facial is all about feeling good.
MY BACK IS "OUT" AND I HAVE A LOT OF PAIN. SHOULD I GET A MASSAGE FROM YOU?
My Massage is not for anyone in a lot of pain. If your back is out, you need to see someone that specializes in that condition, and once the pain is minimal you can come see me for maintenance work ups. I offer relief from everyday stress and tension. After experiencing a painful back issue myself about 10 years ago, I can definitely relate to what it's like, and share my story with you about how I have sucessfully avoided a relapse.
I'M SHY AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROFESSIONAL MASSAGE BEFORE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO TRY ONE. DO I HAVE TO TAKE ALL MY CLOTHES OFF?
No, absolutely not. Undergarments are totally optional, depending on your comfort level. A bra can be left on (during a Facial but not a Back Massage) if you tuck the shoulder straps under your arms. Pants can also be left on, but you might get too warm, especially in cold weather when a thick blanket is used. All areas are always covered with a sheet and blanket, except while I am massaging that specific area.
DO YOU OFFER DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE?
No, but my Massage is deeper than a Swedish Massage. I use firm, medium pressure and I only use my hands. Personally, I think it hurts when elbows and forearms are used in massage. I locate your knots with my thumbs, and go over them a few times but I will not work them out in just one session. I don't want you to tense up from pain or make you feel like you want to jump off the table. Communication is the key! Please tell me if and when it is too much pressure. Everybody has a different tolerance for pain and I want your experience to be just right for YOU. Enough pressure to help your condition but not too much.
WHY SHOULD I GET A MASSAGE FROM YOU?
After doing hair for over 35 years, I have been told that I have different and better muscles in my hands and also a different approach to Massage. I love getting a massage, and know from being a professional myself what is relaxing, what feels good and what is just boring repetition. My massage is very soothing yet firm for excellent stress relief, increased circulation, increased blood flow and boost your immune system. I pay attention to detail for a more enjoyable experience for you!
WILL I HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PLAN?
No, nor do I keep any credit card information on file.
