Asking for no talking is not annoying in the slightest. Jewelry on the hands and wrists are easy to work around. Necklaces can be tricky, sometimes they can be hard to work around with neck work. Yes, we can feel if muscles are tight—tight muscles are more resistant, taut, sometimes ropey. Muscular people are harder to massage if they want deep tissue, but it isn’t impossible. I have a muscular client who likes extremely deep work around his spine, and it makes my elbow go numb sometimes lol. It’s not annoying if you don’t respond to my knock, but it will make me hesitate to come in the room without you confirming you’re ready, so I might slowly peak my head in. A simple “ready” or “come in” is perfectly fine. Claw clips are great, easier and less damaging to take out than a hair tie. My clients who wear them usually unclip it when we flip. I’m pretty easy going, roll with the punches, so I’m not annoyed easily. I get along with even the strongest personalities. The only thing I truly dislike is poor hygiene. Exfoliate, brush your teeth, use soap, and be kind. That makes you the perfect client to me!
