Re: Uncomfortable Customers?

I have several things I tell customers that seem to put them at ease.

1) I have seen so many naked people by now that it's not even a thing to me anymore. I barely even notice that people are naked.

2) It's not a body to me, it's a canvas.

3) You know, the only personal thought I've ever had about people's bodies while doing this is that all bodies are beautiful. People always look way better than they think they look.

I deliver all this in a laidback, chit-chatty way. Also, this may seem like a small thing, but I try to keep my appearance neat, clean, and lowkey. . . .save my glam side for another time. (Jeans, tees, no heels, relaxed makeup.) I think it is a subtle thing you can do to help keep people from feeling intimidated.

Also, it is helpful to not ******** people about their bodies. (Cellulite? What cellulite?) If someone brings up a particular concern, I try to address it honestly as it relates to their sunless tan.

Hope this helps. I think I am pretty good at helping people get comfy and enjoy being pampered.
