  • Why not give him one yourself, there are books about it in most libraries and there's bound to instructional stuff on line.

    Don't make the mistake of booking him into a massage parlour, it's not massages they have on offer, nudge nudge wink wink.

    Do you have any colleges etc near you? If so check whether they have a beauty department as they need clients to practice on and charge much cheaper prices.

    i agree i am fully qualified masseur in number types. Our college had a salon so we could practice on the public, also had beauty dept where this applied too, i must say u probably get jolly good massage from students as they learning an dont miss anything out. Very cheap too!!

    Also if u like and have regualr massages, dont pay a salon, sign up on a course for £100 or so u can have them alll year then get qualification at the end of it all and u have right laugh too).
    SIMPLES!
  • And just incase you were asking as a Euphamism, you often find that colleges are also the best place, especially in the late evennings between 6 and 10, nudge nudge wink wink. Cheaper option but being outdoors can often cramp your style!

    My local salons don't do men. I bought my OH a voucher from Buyagift for one

    Hi,

    There is Esthetique ( or similar) just of Oxford Circus that does cheap massages using their beauty course students and they are open during the day and late night thursday I think. A fair few others are about just google beauty schools and the area you want and some should come up.

    Or some mobile masseurs ( not sexy ones) can be cheap as no over heads)but get a local one otherwise you will be stung on petrol.
    Green and minimal chemicals is the new black- I know a fair old bit about sustainability, specially energy and transport stuff. If I can help- please ask!
