Frequently Asked Questions

On the day of the appointment, be sure to maintain good hygiene. If nails are sharp, long, or jagged, please trim them. You do not have to shave or wash your hair before the appointment because you will most likely leave with trace amounts of oil in it. Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily remove and put back on.

If you are a first-time client, you should arrive approximately 15-20 minutes early. This will allow you time to fill out your intake paperwork and hit the restroom before your treatment begins. This ensures that the full amount of time that you booked is spent during your massage. If you aren’t a first-time client, you can arrive at least 5 minutes early so that you can make your way to the treatment room.

Both cash and card are acceptable forms of payment. Checks are not an acceptable form of payment. During the booking process, you can expect to put 50% of your total treatment price down. The first payment (50%) is a deposit for your time slot on the schedule. The last half of the payment will be due at the time of service.

Depending on your preference, you are welcome to re-book as early as the next week. Some people enjoy massages once or twice a month. Others only book as needed.

No. Tips are welcome, but they are not expected. Past Tense Massage charges a livable wage for the therapist, and the fees paid are there to cover business expenses as well.

In the event of a cancellation, please call or text the business as soon as you can. A full refund can be given up to 48 hours before your appointment. If you cancel the day before (24 hours before) or the day of your appointment, the 50% deposit for said treatment will be retained as coverage for lost business and payment to the therapist/receptionist.

Couples’ massages are available upon request. Due to the fact that only one therapist works regularly at Past Tense Massage, clients will need to message/call reception to book in advance. This will allow Past Tense to locate another therapist for this treatment.
