Beauty tips: 10 point checklist before having your massage

A massage is a wonderful way to relax and reviitalise yourself. Check out these handy tips to get the most out of your massage.

Find out how qualified your masseur is. Has he / she completed recognised training?
What are the massage techniques the masseur specialises in? Can he explain which technique is right for each situation?
What can you keep on whilst having your massage? If a lot of oil is used (for example with ayurvedic massage) you may want to wear as little as possible in order to avoid ruining your clothes.
What kind of oils are used? Some oils can be a touch smelly which may not be a good idea if you have an important appointment afterward.
Check where the masseur starts the massage. This can help you relax as you will know what’s coming.
Did the masseur give you any guidelines as to what you can eat or drink before the massage?
Are you looking for more than just a massage? Check if additional services are offered.
Check how long before the appointment you need to arrive. You may have to fill in a questionnaire and it may be nice to do this in a relaxed way so you can start your massage relaxed.
Check if head massage is part of the treatment. And if so be prepared by bringing a comb!
What does the massage cost? Costs vary and can range from $50 – $120 for a 1 hour massage.
