Frequently Asked Questions – Male Masseur in New York City
Everything first-time clients usually ask before booking a home or hotel massage in New York City. Anything else, just ask on WhatsApp.
Is this service only for women?
Yes. Sessions are for women, and for couples who book together. Every session is strictly professional and therapeutic, with full draping.
Do you come to hotels and Airbnbs in NYC?
Yes. Hotels, Airbnbs, serviced apartments and private homes across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the New Jersey waterfront. Share the property name and room or apartment number on WhatsApp.
How far in advance should I book?
A day ahead is ideal; same-day bookings with 2–3 hours’ notice are usually possible in Manhattan, Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn and LIC. Outer neighbourhoods and New Jersey are pre-booked.
What are your hours?
9am to 10pm, seven days a week, with the last session starting by 9pm. Later starts are possible on request with a small surcharge.
What do you bring and what do I need?
I bring a portable massage table, fresh linen, towels, oils and soft music. You need a quiet room and roughly 6.5 by 5 feet of floor space. In very small rooms a floor-mat session is possible.
Which massage should I choose?
Swedish for relaxation and jet lag, deep tissue for knots and chronic stiffness, aromatherapy for stress and sleep, hot stone for deep muscle fatigue or cold weather, and head-neck-foot for a quick reset. If you are unsure, describe how you feel and the session is tailored on the spot.
How much does it cost?
$120 for 60 minutes, $170 for 90 minutes and $220 for 120 minutes, all-inclusive. Travel is included in Manhattan and inner Brooklyn and Queens; see the pricing page for the few areas with a small travel fee.
Is there a travel charge?
Not within Manhattan below 125th Street, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Downtown Brooklyn, Dumbo, LIC or Astoria. Harlem, Park Slope, Bushwick, Crown Heights, Jersey City and Hoboken are $20; further out is $40 and pre-booked.
Can I book for a friend or a group?
Yes. Back-to-back sessions for two or more people at the same location are common, with a discount on the second and subsequent sessions. Groups of three or more get 10% off each session.
What should I wear?
Whatever you are comfortable in. You undress to your comfort level in private, and you are draped with a sheet throughout, with only the area being worked on uncovered. For a head-neck-foot session you can stay fully clothed.
Are you certified and background-checked?
Yes. Certified in Swedish and deep tissue massage with over six years of full-time practice, including two years at a Midtown hotel spa, and background-checked. ID can be shown at your hotel front desk or doorman if required.
How do I pay?
After the session by Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, card or cash. No deposit is required within Manhattan and inner Brooklyn.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 2 hours before the slot. Later cancellations or no-shows carry a $40 charge. Rescheduling is always free.
Is massage safe during pregnancy?
Gentle Swedish massage is usually fine after the first trimester with your doctor’s go-ahead, using side-lying positioning. Deep tissue and hot stone are not offered during pregnancy.
