Yes. Hot Stone is generally safe for first-time clients, including sensitive skin, when performed by trained therapists. We conduct a thorough intake, adjust stone temperature and pressure, and perform a brief skin check. Please inform us of any skin conditions or allergies beforehand.

Hot Stone blends seamlessly with our signature head spa, introduced during or after scalp therapy to deepen muscle release and prolong relaxation. Stones enhance circulation to the scalp and neck, amplifying restorative benefits and supporting hair and scalp health.

For noticeable effects, book Hot Stone for at least thirty minutes as an add-on; forty-five to sixty minutes maximizes muscle release and nervous system calming. We tailor duration to your needs—short enhancements work well, while extended sessions provide deeper, longer-lasting relief.

Certain conditions can rule out Hot Stone therapy. Please inform us if you have recent surgery, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe varicose veins, diabetes with neuropathy, fever, skin infections, or a pacemaker. We’ll assess and recommend safe alternatives or physician clearance when needed.

Basalt stones are heated to a comfortable, therapeutic warmth and never scalding. Therapists test temperature before application and adjust to your comfort. We maintain strict hygiene and warming protocols so stones feel soothing while delivering consistent heat for muscle release and circulation.

Hot Stone is a flexible add-on that complements full or partial sessions, including express and targeted head spa treatments. Tell your therapist when booking and we’ll customize the placement and duration. Pricing is adjusted based on time and specific treatment enhancements.
