BighandsClayton's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
Touch is such an important part of our lives. I was receiving a massage and the masseur was tired and tense so I flipped the massage and had him unknotted in no time and I thought I could do this and people love big n tall with big hands this could work.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Yes it is very addictive. It is relaxing to serve others through massage. I would definitely miss the people interaction.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Although I’m relatively new to the scene I definitely appeal to a wide group of clientele and consider myself very successful.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
My clients would know I am professional yet passionate about massage and their experience.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
I want them to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. I want them above all to feel confident.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I perform and teach music and love to make music with others in my spare time.
Why did you become a Masseur?
I believe I have a lot of passion, energy, and a great touch that will send them over the edge feeling recentered. I want to help others achieve relief and relaxation.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Visit a lot of masseurs yourself. Take notes from the ones you do and don’t like. Steal lots of ideas; twist them and make them your own.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
My big hands, a big heart, and gentle spirit.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
I have been a masseur for two years and I’m not sure how long I will continue but it has been fun.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I don’t travel often because of my full time job. I live in a good radius to be able to cover a large area and service both the Houston and surrounding areas.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
I think basic knowledge of the body is extremely important and always pick up extra classes. Next stop continuing education.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
I like them to say they love the experience because of the repeat business I get. That is the highest compliment one can make.
