Questions about booking
How do I book a session?
Choose a session and a time with the Book button, and add the address if Tony is coming to you. You can also message Tony on Instagram at @tlekpro. Your appointment is confirmed before the session.
What are the hours?
Every day of the week, from 9 AM to 6 PM, by appointment. That applies to in-home sessions and to the Chelsea location.
How is my appointment confirmed?
Before your session, the time and the place are confirmed with you, and for in-home sessions so are any travel and parking arrangements.
Can I ask a question before booking?
Of course. Send Tony a direct message on Instagram and ask whatever you'd like to know first.
Questions about the session
What happens during a session?
It starts with a short conversation about how you feel today and what you'd like from the session. Then comes a full-body massage shaped around that conversation, with professional draping throughout.
Do I choose a massage technique?
No. There's no fixed menu of techniques. Tell Tony how you feel and what you want, and he shapes the session from there.
How long are sessions, and what do they cost?
60 minutes is $160, 90 minutes is $220 and 120 minutes is $280. These are New York City prices. Wellness packs bring the price of each session down. See sessions and prices.
What are hot stones and assisted stretching?
Tony's two signature touches. Hot stones are smooth, heated stones worked into the massage; with assisted stretching, Tony guides you through slow, supported stretches. Both are available on request with the 120-minute Executive Recovery Experience.
Is this medical treatment?
No. Sessions are for relaxation and general wellness. They are not medical treatment and don't replace care from a doctor. If you have a health concern, check with your doctor before booking.
Questions about in-home and hotel sessions
Where can Tony come to me?
Anywhere in the five boroughs of New York City: your home, a hotel room or an Airbnb. Sessions outside the city can be arranged. Also available in Philadelphia by appointment.
What do I need to prepare?
A little open floor space for the massage table. That's it.
What does Tony bring?
His massage table, clean linens and oils, plus hot stones if you've asked for them with the Executive Recovery Experience.
How do travel and parking work?
They are arranged individually for each in-home appointment and confirmed before the day.
Will Tony leave my place as he found it?
Yes. When the session ends, he packs up the table and linens and leaves your space the way it was.
Questions about the Chelsea location
Where is the Chelsea location?
Inside Manhattan Barbershop NYC, at 238 8th Ave, New York, NY 10011. See the Chelsea location for directions.
In-home or Chelsea: which should I choose?
In-home if you'd rather stay put and have Tony come to you. Chelsea if you're already out in Manhattan, or would rather keep your home to yourself.
Questions about comfort and privacy
What should I know about booking with a male therapist?
It's a fair question. Every session uses professional draping and starts with a conversation about what you're comfortable with, and you can pause or stop at any time. If you'd like to ask something before booking, send Tony a message.
Will I be covered during the massage?
Yes. Tony uses professional draping throughout, and only the area he is working on is uncovered.
Can I stop the session if I want to?
Yes, at any time and without giving a reason.
Questions about wellness packs
How do the packs work?
A pack is a set of sessions bought together, which brings down the price of each one. The Wellness Pack is 3 × 60 minutes for $469 ($156.33 per session). VIP Monthly is 4 × 90 minutes a month for $819 ($204.75 per session), with priority scheduling. The Transform Pack is 5 × 90 minutes for $999 ($199.80 per session).
