I understand you may feel a little self-conscious when you have a massage, but please stop apologising for hairy legs, backs, armpits, face etc
My focus is on your soft tissue and your comfort, not how much body hair you have!
I'm more concerned if you rush to shave before an appointment and cut yourself. This would mean I need to wear gloves if the skin I'm massaging is broken or avoid the area completely.
If you have longer body hair, it is more likely to tangle/knot during your massage. So some people prefer to trim it a bit, though it's not a requirement. I'll probably need to use more oil or lotion during the massage.
So please, stop worrying ๐
