Therapist: Of course! Do you have any preferences for the types of facials or massages that you'd like?

Client: I'm not sure, what do you recommend?

Therapist: Well, our signature facial is a relaxing and rejuvenating treatment that includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and facial massage. As for the massage, we offer several options such as Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone. Which one would you prefer?

Therapist: Great choices! I have availability next Wednesday at 2 PM. Does that work for you?
