When getting a massage, is it mandatory that you shave your legs?

My friend does not shave her legs or underarms (cultural reasons), and is interested in experiencing a professional massage. Does anyone know or are you a massage therapist, and can you shed some light on this subject? I don't want her to embarass herself. Thank you!

I have given many ladies massages over the years. I have seen many women partially or totally nude. A professional massage is a service given by a professional person. A masseuse or masseur should not expect a lady to shave herself anywhere, especially if it is for cultural reasons. The service should give attention to the relaxation of the body and not so much in how it looks.

It'd be nice if she shaved...but they aren't going to deny her of service. Most likely she'll be talked about after she leaves, to be honest.

I have never been refused a professional massage because I didn't shave my legs or underarms nor have I heard that from any other man. Why would it matter to a masseuse if it was a woman in the same condition?

i dont think its the end of the world if she doesn't shave, especially if its cultural, just make sure she showers the morning before.

It's not mandatory, but she better not expect a happy ending if she is teen wolfin' it. Plus she should tip well. Actually, just tell her to shave. That's nasty, and her culture is nasty.
