How it works
How an in-home massage with Tony works
Booking a massage at home should feel simpler than going out for one. Here is what happens from the moment you book to the moment Tony leaves, and the little you need to do along the way.
The four steps
- 01
Book. Choose a session length and a time. Tony works every day from 9 AM to 6 PM, by appointment, at your home, hotel or Airbnb anywhere in the five boroughs, or at his Chelsea location.
- 02
A short conversation. Before the massage starts, Tony asks how you're feeling, what your week has been like and what you'd like from the session. Tell him which areas to focus on and anything you'd rather he avoided.
- 03
Tony arrives with everything. He brings the massage table, clean linens and oils, and sets up in the room you choose. If you've booked the Chelsea location, you simply come to 238 8th Ave instead.
- 04
He leaves your space as he found it. When the session ends, Tony packs up the table and linens and leaves the room the way it was.
Booking and confirmation
When you book, choose the session length and a time and, for an in-home session, share the address. The time and the place are confirmed with you before the session, together with any travel and parking arrangements. If you'd like to ask something first, message Tony on Instagram at @tlekpro.
Preparing your space
You don't need a spa room at home. A little open floor space where the table can stand is enough, so a living room, a bedroom or a hotel room all work. Tony brings the table, linens and oils.
Pick a room where you'll feel at ease. If there's anything Tony should know before he arrives, such as how to get into the building or where a car can park, mention it when you book. Travel and parking are arranged individually and confirmed before your appointment.
Your comfort, your boundaries
Massage at home is personal, and Tony treats it that way. These hold for every session, at home or in Chelsea.
- Professional draping. You stay covered throughout, and only the area Tony is working on is uncovered.
- You set the terms. The short conversation before every session is where you say what you want, and what you don't.
- Pause or stop at any time. Say the word. You don't need to give a reason.
- By appointment only. You always know who is coming and when.
- His own equipment. The table, linens and oils are Tony's, brought in and taken away again.
In-home or the Chelsea location
Both follow the same approach: a short conversation first, then a full-body session shaped around how you feel that day.
In-home suits you if you'd rather not go anywhere. Tony comes to your apartment, house, hotel room or Airbnb in any of the five boroughs, and once the session ends you're already home.
Chelsea suits you if you're out in Manhattan anyway, or would rather keep your home to yourself. The Chelsea location is inside Manhattan Barbershop NYC at 238 8th Ave, every day from 9 AM to 6 PM, by appointment. Directions and details.
After the session
Take your time getting up. If Tony came to you, there is nowhere you need to be: he packs up quietly and leaves your space as he found it. If you'd like to make sessions a regular part of your routine, the wellness packs bring down the price of each one.
