What to Expect
THE EXPERIENCE:
All tinglesbar services are non-invasive and designed solely for leisure and relaxation. Sessions take place with clients fully clothed or covered on a traditional massage table. To deliver a truly immersive live ASMR experience, our practitioners (ASMRtists) engage in intentional, gentle physical contact—utilizing light tactile triggers, therapeutic touch, or healing energy techniques tailored to your comfort level. This may include hair play and brushing, scalp massage, back scratching, body tools, face and ear attention, and soothing soundscapes.
Your Personalized Consultation: Every session begins with a private consultation to discuss your preferred triggers and wellness goals. While we meticulously curate each experience, we recognize that ASMR is highly individual; finding your perfect "resonance" may involve gentle exploration. Before your session, please inform us of any areas of sensitivity (pain, ticklishness, etc.) to avoid during your session.
A Foundation of Comfort: We are a strictly platonic space with a zero-tolerance policy. To maintain a safe and professional environment, our practitioners work exclusively on the head, neck, face, arms, and back with a gentle, therapeutic touch only – we do not address any areas of the chest or below the waist, beyond some grounding techniques on the feet and calves. We are dedicated to ensuring a secure and respectful experience for both our guests and our ASMRtists.
Our Commitment to Your Wellbeing: Your comfort is our absolute priority—if at any point a technique or tool does not resonate or you feel uncomfortable, your ASMRtist will immediately pivot to a different method or conclude the session at your request.
Studio Cleanliness and Hygiene: We hold our studio to the highest standards of hygiene. Our practitioners sanitize their hands before and after every session, and all sensory tools are deep-cleaned with professional detergents and alcohol immediately after use. With fresh linens for every guest and a studio maintained to Ontario health standards, you can relax knowing your safety is always our priority.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While our experiences can help provide relief and support for stress, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and overall well-being, we do not guarantee specific outcomes or improvements to mental, physical, or emotional health. These services are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Since individual needs vary, we always recommend consulting your doctor for appropriate care tailored to your personal concerns.
The Journey
Arrive & Settle In
(Pre-Session)
Welcome to your sensory sanctuary. We'll begin with a brief intake/consultation and overview of the experience. Service is performed “dry” on your clothed or covered body, with no oils or products applied.
Completely Relax & Enjoy
(During Session)
Your ASMRtist will perform your service – featuring a variety of body tools, techniques, sounds, scents, and other ASMR-inspired triggers for a calming, immersive experience. You just lay back, relax, and receive.
Mind & Body Reset
(Post-Session)
After your session is complete, take a moment to reconnect with your surroundings. Share any feedback you might have and enjoy a light snack and beverage in our studio lounge before you head back to your day.
THE DAY OF – HOW TO PREPARE:
Attire & Hygiene: Services may include interaction with the head, back, and face – please arrive in comfortable, lightweight clothing with clean hair, body, and skin, free of makeup or heavy hair products to ensure a seamless and hygienic experience where you can fully feel every tactile technique. Avoid clothing with intricate adornments or thick knits so the tools during the service do not get caught or snag.
Timing & Intake: We kindly request that you arrive at least 10 minutes early to settle in and complete your intake form. This ensures your session begins on time and allows for a focused, unhurried transition into your experience.
Scheduling Policy: Due to our curated schedule and limited availability, sessions must conclude at the designated time. Please note that late arrivals will not receive a time extension, as we must honour the appointments of other guests.
Health, Wellness & Safety: If you are feeling unwell or experiencing any symptoms of illness, we kindly ask that you reschedule your appointment. Due to the close-contact nature of ASMR sessions, tinglesbar reserves the right to refuse or discontinue service upon arrival if a guest is displaying symptoms of illness, in order to protect the wellbeing of our ASMRtists and other guests.
HOW TO GET TO THE STUDIO:
Our studio is located at 9 St. Nicholas St., Unit 201. Toronto ON M4Y 1K9 (yellow exterior building).
Upon arrival, enter the code provided to you in your Reminder Email on the intercom by the building’s front door. Wait for the screen to confirm that the main door and elevator are unlocked, granting you access to the 2nd floor (Unit 201). NOTE: You have 2 minutes to enter the elevator after entering the code. If you don’t, you will need to re-enter the code to regain access.
Parking: If you require parking, there is a GreenP Carpark 304 Lot located at 9 Wellesley St. W – a 2-minute walk to the studio. When you exit the lot, cross the street and take the St. Nicholas St. walkway beside RABBA Fine Foods, which leads directly to our yellow building.
TTC: If you are commuting by public transit, you can get off at Wellesley Station (3-minute walk to studio) or Bloor-Yonge Station (8-minute walk to studio).
Studio Etiquette: To honour the relaxation of all guests, we kindly ask that you enter the studio quietly. Please maintain a soft whisper in all common areas to help ensure an undisturbed atmosphere. When entering the studio, we also kindly ask that you remove your outdoor shoes – clean slippers are provided in the coat closet, if needed.
