Four-hand nuru is a booking of two therapists for one client, charged at double the single hour through to a full night, always secured with half in advance.
Four-hand nuru is nuru with two therapists attending one client. The name is borrowed from ordinary massage, where a second therapist doubles the number of hands; in gel the description falls short, because the work uses forearms and the length of the body as much as hands, and a second therapist doubles the presence in the room, not merely a tool. What two therapists used to each other offer is a single massage, shaped by two women who have settled its course so thoroughly that no join can be felt between them.
Four hands is not a couple, each with a therapist, side by side in one room; that is a separate booking with arrangements of its own, priced on the couple, two-therapist row, where one hour is billed as four. Nor is it two independent sessions running at once on one body. Each of the two decides for herself whether she takes the booking, and once they are in the room one of them normally sets the tempo while the other follows it, an arrangement the long guide to four hands nuru takes apart in detail.
For one client, each hour with a pair costs what two single hours would. A two-hour or three-hour booking follows the same doubling, rung by rung. The pair can also stay the night, eight hours at the doubled hourly rate with no overnight reduction, and half of it goes ahead. Every pairing is confirmed with half paid ahead, whatever the date and however soon it is wanted, because it closes two diaries and sets two journeys in motion at once: half the booking's price before they set out, and the remainder handed over when the pair arrives.
Two therapists need space on both sides of the bed and a path to the bathroom wide enough for three people, and a larger bed makes the whole evening easier. A room barely warm enough for one film of gel will feel cooler still with two to maintain, so the heating deserves an early start. The four-hand massage page shows which pairs are available, and the duration ladder sets the pair's prices beside the single ones.
