While Hot Stone massages may be warm and wondrous, they are not for everyone.  Some people who tend to run hot, have a lot of heat in their skin, hair and face (reddish toned skin and hair) people who do not enjoy heat or hot showers, should either not have this treatment, asks the therapist to use only warm not hot stones, or only have a cold stone massage.  A hot stone massage for these people may make them feel agitated, angry or annoyed.    If you decide to try a hot stone wellness massage and you find yourself not being able to relax, you may want to ask the therapist to stop and proceed with a different type of massage.
