A massage lasts 90 minutes, but the visit may be longer. The client needs preparation and an unhurried ending. If the playlist stops with the therapist's last movement, it may be too short for the whole experience.
Service time and playback time
First establish what the length in your price list means. Does it include conversation, preparation and the ending, or only the massage itself? Avoid assuming every salon works the same way.
Then include the stages you want music to accompany. A simple calculation is preparation plus massage plus rest. Plan enough music for that total, with a reasonable allowance for how you organise the visit.
Three planning examples
These figures illustrate organisation; they are neither a standard nor information about SoundYou playlist lengths. The example allows 10 minutes for preparation and 10 minutes for the ending.
