Not necessarily. It depends entirely on the treatment. At Hao Yi Tou, our acupressure massage is fully clothed and oil-free, so there’s nothing to remove at all. Our aromatherapy massage uses oil directly on the skin and follows standard professional draping practice. The short answer: what you wear depends on which treatment you book.
The Short Answer: It Depends on the Treatment
There’s no single rule here, because Hao Yi Tou offers two very different styles of full body massage in Singapore. You might stay completely dressed, or you might remove some clothing under a sheet, depending entirely on whether you choose acupressure or aromatherapy. Two treatments, two different norms, and knowing the difference before you book means no surprises at the door, which matters more than it sounds.
Acupressure Massage: Fully Clothed, No Oil
Acupressure works through light clothing, using firm, focused pressure along the back, shoulders, neck, and legs. There’s no oil involved at any point, so there’s nothing to remove. No towel. No robe. Loose, comfortable clothing is all you need, and nothing else to plan for. This is usually the treatment people picture by default when they imagine a body massage in Singapore, and it’s worth naming that assumption directly.
Aromatherapy Massage: What Draping Actually Means
Aromatherapy massage is oil-based and applied directly to the skin, following standard professional draping practice. Under draping, only the area being worked on at that moment is ever uncovered, and the rest of the body stays covered throughout the session. You can always discuss your comfort level with your therapist beforehand. More clothing can stay on if you prefer, and coverage is your call, not a fixed rule.
A Quick Note on Foot Reflexology
Foot reflexology works on the feet alone. It’s fully clothed, oil-free, and there’s nothing to remove. That’s part of why it’s the easiest treatment to fit into a lunch break or a quick stop between errands, straight into a first-class cubicle and straight back out again.
Why Knowing This Before You Book Actually Matters
A studio that tells you exactly what to expect before you arrive is a studio being straight with you, which is the whole point of how we do things at Hao Yi Tou. Pick acupressure if you want a fully clothed, oil-free session. Pick aromatherapy if you want the full oil-based experience. Either way, the choice should suit you, not whichever option the front desk happens to push that day.
