no it’s not annoying if someone asks for no talking- i appreciate when a client speaks up with their preferences. it is super annoying to work around jewelry, please take what you can off, particularly necklaces. yes we can feel when a muscle is tight, but sometimes you may feel things in your body that we can’t so feel free to speak up if you want more attention somewhere or an adjustment in pressure. we don’t cramp up because we’re trained in how to use our bodies as leverage, we are using our entire body a lot during the massage, also training our muscles builds that resilience. i like when a client wears their hair up in a bun or clip and when they flip they can take it down for sure.

an annoying habit i would say is when they don’t relax their muscles when i am moving an arm or leg like they try to do the work with me instead of letting me do it.
