After the day
Evenings for people who work them
Servers, bartenders, hotel and kitchen staff finish when the rest of the town is winding down. So do people who would rather skip the heat of the afternoon.
Settle keeps its hours for you: the first appointment is at 3 p.m. and the last booking is 7:30 p.m. on weeknights. The room is warm, the lights are low and nobody rushes you out at the end.

Short answers
How long is a session?
From 30 to 90 minutes. A 60-minute session is the usual length for a first visit, and you can add 15 minutes when you book or on the night.
What do I wear?
Undress to the point you are comfortable. You are covered by a sheet or towel the whole time, and only the part I am working on is uncovered.
How do I set the pressure?
I ask before you start and check in again partway through. Say lighter or firmer at any time.
Can I stop?
Yes, at any time and for any reason. I stop right away.
Can I book after work?
Yes. Weeknight sessions run until 9 p.m., and the last booking is 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday afternoons are open too.
Should I tip?
Tipping is welcome and never expected. You can add one when you pay.
