Verify first
Know who is coming
Use a public license lookup where regulation applies. Confirm the person's full professional name, business contact, arrival window, complaint process, and scope of service.
- Do not accept invented credentials
- Use a booking platform only if verification is real
- Share the appointment plan with someone you trust
Agree on logistics
Remove awkward surprises
Confirm total price, tipping, cancellation, stairs, parking, pets, equipment, linens, handwashing, and the amount of space required.
- Ask who supplies sheets and products
- Name fragrance or allergy needs
- Keep exits and mobility routes clear
Keep professional boundaries visible
The same rights apply at home
You choose clothing, draping, areas, pressure, talking, and whether the session continues. End the session if behavior becomes inappropriate or boundaries are ignored.
- Keep your phone accessible
- Do not feel obligated to continue
- Use the regulator's complaint process when relevant
