Velvet & Ember — private M2M sensual massage studio in downtown Toronto, low-lit interior

Intentional touch,
a discreet, modern space —
and the rest will be our little secret.

A members-only studio for guys who want an hour or two completely to themselves. Dim lights, neon glow, real sound — and zero rush. Whoever you are, you fit here.

Niko Santano, M2M sensual service provider in Toronto — a quiet morning

Introduction

Hey, I'm Niko.

I'm so excited you're considering working with me on what I can promise will be an exciting and memorable experience.

The Room

A short list of house rules.

It's a booking fee

What you pay reserves the time on my calendar — nothing more. It's a fee for the room and the hour, not a price tag on anything else.

What this actually is

A full-sensory experience for all five senses, scored to music and light, designed to drop you into a heightened state of being. Anything that may or may not happen between two consenting adults is its own thing — and not what the fee is for.

Nothing extra brought in

Absolutely no drugs or paraphernalia in the studio. Zero exceptions.

No stupid questions

Okay — some are a little dumb 😉 — but ask them all. The goal is an empty mind and anticipation at a rolling boil. Trade the anxiety for excitement; tell me anything you think I should know.

Respect, both ways

Given, and required in return. This isn't optional — it's the floor everything else is built on.

You're in control

The whole way through. If anything becomes overwhelming or you need a beat, say so immediately. I'll meet you exactly where you are.

Payment on arrival

Due in full when you arrive. No refunds, no exchanges, no rainchecks. Canadian currency only — new, undamaged bills. $100 bills are not accepted at this time.

Showered before we begin

Always. Shower at home before you come, or — if you've booked the 90 or 120-minute — you're welcome to shower here, before and / or after.

If anything feels off

It's on either of us to say so, immediately. I reserve the right to end a session without refund if a concern has been raised twice and the behaviour hasn't changed.

Inside

A peek through the curtain.

First visit

What to expect.

1

Pre-meeting

From first message to 3 hours before your session.

Reach out with any and all questions — nothing is off-limits.

  • Together we'll pick the session that fits you. I'll ask plenty of questions too.
  • We lock in a date and time.
  • 24 hours before: you'll get a confirmation message — reply to confirm, or reach out anytime.
  • 3 hours before: detailed instructions land — address, buzzer, and arrival instructions.
  • On arrival: text a photo of your point-of-view from the address shared earlier so I can release the buzzer / unit info.
2

The meeting

Door, lounge, treatment space.

I meet you at the door. We sit in the lounge — meet, greet, get to know each other.

  • I ask questions, you ask questions. When we've nailed exactly what you need, I reiterate it back so we're on the same page.
  • We move into the treatment space. If a shower is included, take one before if you'd like.
  • Quick check-in on physical health, likes / dislikes. I walk through the flight plan one more time.
  • You're highly encouraged to interrupt me, ask anything, or pause the session at any moment.
  • The session begins.
3

Post-meeting

Wind-down, snack, goodbye.

Shower invitation if it's included in your package. (60-minute sessions: showers are an add-on — see the booking-fees page for details.)

  • Gold Members: a light snack — fruit or cold cuts, al fresco if weather allows.
  • We say our goodbyes, you get dressed at your own pace, and we make plans for the next visit.

What's included

The Inclusions.

Private

A quiet residential building with no front desk to pass and zero cameras on the floors. Your visit lives only in your phone.

Real sound

An immersive house mix flowing room to room — Cafe De Anatolia, deep and exotic. The soundtrack is part of the experience, not a backdrop.

Tended

Fresh linens, clean towels, new oil. The entire studio is cleaned top-to-bottom before you arrive.

Off the clock

Gift yourself the disconnection while you and I connect deeply. Phones on silent. The world will wait — and it'll meet a changed man when you return 😉

Introducing

The Client-Respecting True Time Policy.

Have you ever stopped to consider how much time you actually get inside a typical 60-minute booking? Door, shoes off, small talk, intake, shower, get on the table — that's fifteen, twenty, sometimes thirty minutes already gone. On the other end: wind-down, shower, get dressed, settle up. Another ten. No wonder so many clients are obsessed with not watching the clock — most of them are quietly getting 50% of the time they paid for.

Not here. Every Velvet & Ember booking now comes with 30 free buffer minutes — 15 before, 15 after — bolted onto the time you booked. The clock only starts when hands meet skin. Book 60, you get a full 60 of hands-on inside a 90-minute visit. Book 90, you get 120 total. Book 120, you get 150.

Industry standard is a door-to-door hour. Mine is a touch-to-touch hour.

Sessions

Pick your pace.

One flat rate

Mon 6 PM → Sun 3 PM

  • 60 min hands-on — $140 (returning clients only)
  • 90 min hands-on — $200
  • 120 min hands-on — $300

First visits start at 90 minutes. There's the meet and greet, your questions, the intake and the chemistry that has to be built before real work can begin — 60 minutes can't hold all of that honestly, and Niko won't rush a first session.

60 min hands-on · 90 min True Time · returning clients only

Silver Member

A fast-paced session reserved for returning clients — men who already know the flow and have very few questions. Not offered for a first visit.

Sixty minutes of actual hands-on time, bracketed by True Time buffer minutes so the clock never starts until hands meet skin. It isn't available for first visits: there's the meet and greet, the questions, the intake and the chemistry that has to be built first, and sixty minutes can't hold all of that honestly. For a first time, the Platinum or Gold is the honest choice.

90 min hands-on · 120 min True Time

Platinum Member

The perfect pace — the one humans naturally fall into when two people connect in this kind of setting. Unrushed, even though the clock is in the room.

In three years of doing this, the 90 always completes exactly when it's meant to — and always inside the time. Every part of the body gets the attention and focus it was designed for. The clock is present but never watched. If I had to pick one session for someone, this is it.

120 min hands-on · 150 min True Time

Gold Member

The one to treat yourself with. No clock in the room — every part of the session gets to breathe, go deep, or get a little lost in.

We can open with a chat on the balcony (weather permitting) as we get to know each other, and close with a light snack — fruit or cold cuts, al fresco if you'd like. There is no clock present, and every part of the session is given the full attention I love to give. The world is your oyster — go above and beyond.

Hours

Open around the clock.

Doors open Monday 6 PM through Sunday 3 PM — every hour in-between is bookable, 24 hours a day.
