π Essential Best Practices for a Great Massage Session
At Wecasa, quality and professionalism are at the heart of our services. By following these best practices, you can enhance the customer experience and build a strong, loyal client base.
βοΈ π§Ό Hygiene First: Upon arrival, always wash your hands and sanitise your massage table. Keeping hand sanitiser with you is highly recommended.
βοΈ ππ» Always Use a Massage Table: Massaging clients on their beds is strictly forbidden. A proper massage table ensures comfort and professionalism.
βοΈ π§΄ Use Neutral Oil: Some clients are sensitive to strong scents, so neutral oils are always the safest choice.
βοΈ β Prenatal Massage & Essential Oils: Essential oils are strictly prohibited for prenatal massages, as they can be dangerous for pregnant clients.
βοΈ β Ask About Preferences: Take 2 minutes to ask the client about their desired pressure level, pain points, and expectations. This small step significantly improves customer satisfaction.
βοΈ β Respect the Service Duration: A 1-hour massage = 1 full hour of treatment. Prep and setup time are separate, so arrive early to set up your equipment properly.
βοΈ π Silence Your Phone: Nothing ruins relaxation faster than notifications. Switch your phone to silent mode during the session.
β¨ How to Create the "WoW" Effect?
π‘ π΅ Offer Background Music: Not all clients enjoy the same relaxing sounds. Ask them what they prefer!
π‘ πΈ Provide Oil Scent Options: If you have different oils, let the client choose their preferred scent for a more personalised experience.
