I get regular massages, usually about every four weeks, although I think I must be weeks late. Time to call!
I pay with a credit card, and I ask them to add a tip. I usually tip $9 or $10 on a $60-65 charge. I've been seeing the same LMT for two years, and she is excellent! I left cash in the room once when I had a massage on vacation.
About massages: you can leave on what clothing you feel you need to be comfortable, but the more you have on, the harder it is for the LMT to do their work. I've always felt very respected and protected when I've had a massage. When it's time to turn over, the therapist should hold the sheet/blanket up to screen you while you flip. And don't be afraid to tell them if something doesn't feel good. Or if you want more or less pressure, etc.
Enjoy!
