I never know what to say to a hair dresser or person doing my pedicure ("Sorry my shoes stink?") Small talk doesn't come naturally to me, so I like there being a situation where I'm expected to be quiet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49588 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:05:54 +0000 mynoahbear 49588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like quiet during massages.

She has tranquil background music, chit chat when she started to silence when I'm all melted and sleepy... I like a combo of chitchat + music + silence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49421 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:53:03 +0000 prettylizy 49421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly I prefer quiet, let me fall asleep, that's the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49419 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:52:39 +0000 DillonLion 49419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had silence during my massages (with quiet music), but the last massage I got was the week of my wedding, and my masseuse and I chatted the whole time and it was amazing. It was like therapy and a massage in one. I loved it! So I'm a fan of either one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49414 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:46:36 +0000 Rubies 49414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like silence. I like being in my own thoughts. If they keep talking to me I don't feel relaxed because I feel I have to keep the conversation going! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49413 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:45:05 +0000 Rescuemom10 49413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk some, but for the most part like to lay silent and enjoy the time to relax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49392 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:14:23 +0000 Mrs.KMM 49392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely a quiet massage person. Soothing background music is fine but I can't really clear my mind and relax if I'm having a conversation (or even if someone is just talking to me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49385 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:06:50 +0000 chopsuey 49385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like soothing music playing in the back ground.

I like to be completely relaxed and free of thoughts, I don't want to have to worry about trying to conversate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49344 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:12:42 +0000 shinystraps 49344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer quiet in massages and facials.

I'll be in heaven! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49342 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:10:11 +0000 tequiero21 49342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hate when people keep talking. i don't mind in the beginning because you're getting to know whoever's feeling you up. lol. but after we get started, i'd like to relax and not worry about carrying on a conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49341 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:09:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 49341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it to be quit during a massage (background music is fine, just no talking).</p> <p>I sort of feel like when I go for a haircut, gossip and chitchat is fine and part of that whole experience, but the point of a massage is relaxation which I can’t do if someone is jabbering at me. Same with facials – quiet please. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49339 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:05:34 +0000 polkadots 49339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when I was going to school for massage therapy I found that most people like to talk during their massage... I heard some good.. and weird stories during my clinicals. </p> <p>Personally for me, It just depends on the therapist. If its someone I can relate too I like to talk to them, but If its not I like to just enjoy the massage in quiet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49337 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:04:09 +0000 heffalump 49337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I guess that's why my massage therapist talks to me so much... because nobody else will talk to her! She probably has to sit in silence all day long and then here I come gabbing away and asking questions about her life. </p> <p>I had a feeling I'd be a minority here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49334 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:01:00 +0000 Andrea 49334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I know, I try not to but I might doze off for 10 minutes or so towards the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49333 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:00:31 +0000 MamaMoose 49333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also hate it when they talk to me. I don't want to be rude and not respond... but when I'm getting a massage I just like to completely zone out and let my mind go blank. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49332 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:00:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 49332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to have music in the background, but I dont like my massage therapist to talk. I just like the silence for relaxing. When I get my nails done and stuff like that I do prefer to have someone talk to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49331 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:59:36 +0000 Red 49331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually hate it when the masseuse tries to talk to me cause 1) My face is smushed against the head rest circle and it's difficult to respond and 2) I don't want to think/concentrate when I'm trying to relax. That's just me though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49328 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:57:34 +0000 heffalump 49328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: But if you're sleeping you miss out on the massage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49327 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:56:55 +0000 Andrea 49327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind talking during other treatments, like a facial, but a massage should be silent I think. Sometimes I like to fall asleep during the massage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-quiet-during-your-massage#post-49324 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:54:47 +0000 heffalump 49324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like silence during a massage is so awkward. If the massage therapist isn't talking to me, I'm constantly thinking, "should I be saying something?" "Should I try to start a conversation?" "Is it too late to start a conversation because so much silent time has gone by so it would be weird?" etc. </p> <p>I found a massage therapist who pretty much sits there and gossips with me the whole time. She tells me about her life, boyfriend, drama, etc. I love it. No awkward moments. </p> <p>I feel like quiet should be more relaxing, but for me it just isn't. Do you prefer silence or a talker during a massage? </p>
