Aromatherapy salons and stylists across the UK

What to expect from a aromatherapy appointment

Aromatherapy combines massage with carefully chosen essential oils blended to the client's energy and concerns at the consultation. The therapist reads sleep, stress and any reactivity to fragrance, mixes a personalised oil at the start, and works through Swedish-style strokes with light pressure. A standard session runs sixty to ninety minutes. Aftercare hydrates and avoids strong fragrance or harsh cleansers on the skin for the first twelve hours.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an aromatherapy massage take?

Usually sixty or ninety minutes including the oil-blending consultation at the start. The blend is personalised to the day's concerns (sleep, stress, decongestion, hormonal support).

Are essential oils safe during pregnancy?

Some are; many are not. Tell the therapist if you are pregnant or trying to conceive at consultation; they will adjust the blend or recommend an alternative treatment. Aromatherapy through pregnancy is a specialist area worth seeking out.

How often should I have aromatherapy?

Monthly for general well-being. Fortnightly during periods of high stress, poor sleep or active hormonal flux. The therapist will recommend a cadence after the first session.

How much does aromatherapy cost?

A sixty-minute aromatherapy massage typically runs fifty to ninety pounds. Ninety-minute sessions sit at seventy-five to one hundred thirty. Premium central-London clinics and specialist therapists (pregnancy, hormonal) sit higher.

I have allergies or asthma. Is aromatherapy safe?

Some essential oils can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. Tell the therapist about asthma, eczema or any history of allergic reactions at consultation; they will swap or avoid known triggers and may patch-test the chosen blend first.
