The standard session
Sixty minutes with one person
For anyone who wants an unhurried hour that is only about their head and neck. Come with a request or with none.
The hour is the same every time: the same order, the same room, the same person. What changes is the pressure, the water and how long you spend on each part, and all three are yours to set.
Before you come
Nothing to bring
No need to wash your hair first
A robe if you would like one
Slippers off at the door
In order
What happens, step by step
Minutes are for a standard hour. The long hour spends its extra fifteen on the massage.
- 0110 min
Step 1: Slippers off, scalp check
Leave your slippers at the door and take a robe if you'd like one. Cliff looks at your scalp and hair in daylight and asks what you want from the hour: more pressure, less, or a quiet one. Tell him anything he should avoid.
- 0210 min
Step 2: Warm cleanse
A warm rinse at the basin, then an unscented cleanse worked in slowly. If the water is too warm or not warm enough, say so; he changes it at once.
- 0325 min
Step 3: Brush and massage
The longest part of the hour. A soft brush through the hair, then slow massage across the scalp, behind the ears and along the nape, with fingertips only. He checks the pressure halfway, and you can ask him to stop at any time.
- 045 min
Step 4: Last rinse
Another warm rinse until the water runs clear. A towel goes over your shoulders.
- 0510 min
Step 5: Towel and dry
A warm towel around your hair, then a gentle dry and a comb-out. The room is not booked for ten minutes after you, so nobody rushes you out.
Questions about the hour
Can I choose the pressure?
Yes. Cliff asks before he starts and checks again halfway. Say lighter, firmer or stop, as often as you like.
What if I'd rather not be touched on my neck?
Then he won't. The neck and shoulders add-on is optional, and the scalp massage can stay on the scalp.
What sets the price of the hour?
The length of the session and any add-ons. The booking page shows the price, and How pricing works explains the rest.
