Our menu lists 20 treatments, and first-time guests always ask the same thing: "Which one is right for me?" This article is our phone guidance written down — a four-question decision guide.
Question 1: Where is the fatigue — muscle or mind?
Muscle (stiff shoulders, back, lower back): look at the classic or deep tissue line. Mind (mental load, restless sleep): aromatherapy and anti-stress are your territory.
Question 2: How much pressure do you like?
"Strong — I want to feel it": deep tissue or sports massage. "Soft and enveloping": lotion or lymphatic drainage. Classic massage sits between the two — the safest first session.
Question 3: Do you love heat?
Two roads for heat lovers: stone warmth with hot stone, or candle warmth with the warm candle massage. Undecided? Check the season — in winter, heated sessions win by a mile.
Question 4: How much time do you have?
45-50 minutes: compact, single-zone sessions. 60 minutes: full-body classics. 90 minutes and up: ceremonial experiences like Thai or the Sultan.
A comparison at a glance
We've gathered the most-requested treatments at our salon into a single table. This chart is not a binding prescription — just a quick way to orient yourself. The "best for" column reflects the expectation we hear most often from guests during consultation.
| Massage | Pressure | Typical length | Best for | Heated? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | Medium | 50-60 min | First-timers, general relaxation | No |
| Aromatherapy | Light-medium | 50-60 min | Mental load, winding down | No |
| Deep tissue | Strong | 50-60 min | Marked muscle stiffness, tension | No |
| Hot stone | Light-medium | 60 min | Softening with warmth, winter season | Yes |
| Thai | Medium-strong | 60-90 min | Stretching, range of motion | No |
| Reflexology | Point pressure | 30-45 min | Tired feet, a shorter session | No |
| Sports massage | Strong | 50-60 min | Active life, post-training comfort | No |
| Warm candle | Light | 60 min | Skin comfort, a soft heated experience | Yes |
The durations shown are our typical session lengths; we fine-tune them together during your consultation, based on the day's schedule and what you're after.
For a couple or a special day
Planning a birthday, an anniversary, or simply "a nice break together"? We hear this one a lot, and for these occasions we usually suggest two styles. The Sultan massage, with its ceremonial flow and longer length, gives the strongest "special day" feeling — it's built as an unhurried, start-to-finish experience. The warm candle massage, with its soft heat and calm pace, is the favorite of couples after a relaxed shared pause. For couples who want something lively and energetic, the Thai line is worth a look. Availability for paired sessions can vary by day, so we'd ask you to talk these plans through with us by phone in advance; we'll arrange the schedule around them with ease.
Coming for the first time: a safe first choice
We tell every guest booking their first appointment the same thing: you don't have to pick the "most extreme" experience on day one. Based on our experience at the salon, we suggest two safe starting points. The classic massage keeps the pressure medium and covers most of the body, so you can discover for yourself — softer or stronger — what you prefer for next time. The therapeutic massage does the opposite: our therapist reads your needs in the first few minutes and blends techniques to your day. Starting with either of these when you arrive undecided makes choosing your next visit far easier.
Still undecided?
That is an answer too: the therapeutic massage was designed precisely for the undecided — the therapist reads your needs in the first minutes and blends techniques to your day. Or call us; two sentences and we'll point you right.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I combine two different massages on the same day?
Some combinations work well — for instance, a short warming session first, followed by focused work on one area, can be lovely. But stacking two strong, intensive sessions back to back doesn't suit most guests, since the body needs room to recover. The best approach is to tell us what you'd like over the phone; our therapist will set up a sensible, comfortable flow for that day.
I'm pregnant — which massages are not suitable for me?
During pregnancy we do not recommend deep tissue, strong sports massage, or any high-pressure treatment. For general comfort, please consult your doctor first in any case, and be sure to tell us you're pregnant when you book — the salon guides you accordingly. Our aim here is not treatment but offering a safe, restful break.
I couldn't decide — can I still book?
Absolutely. You can settle which massage to take together with our therapist at the start of the session; a short chat lets us understand your expectation and choose the best option for you that day. Being undecided is no reason to delay your appointment.
