Consent is given freely, not coerced or pressured. Consenting to one thing does not mean you consent to more. If you don't understand the request, ask to have it clarified. A “yes” should be enthusiastic or it's a no. You can change your mind at any time.
It’s not about having the most fabulous, over the top costume. Just express yourself in whatever form is right for you. If that means dressing down, that’s ok too (but please NEVER wears jeans, khaki or sportswear to Kinky Salon)
The Kinky Salon community is created through the efforts of everyone involved. If you want to volunteer at an event it’s easy- just sign up on the website. If you want to perform or have a creative offering, just email and let us know. We would love to hear from you.
If someone makes you uncomfortable, for ANY reason, then you should let them know. That includes touching without asking, saying something that offends you, or even just looking at you in a way you don’t like. Be nice, be graceful, but be firm.
Be clear about what your safe sex practices are, and never stick your finger up someone’s butt without asking first.
Being respectful towards each other and our environment means that we can build an atmosphere of trust. Kinky Salon is an inclusive community and we welcome folks of all sexual orientations, gender expressions, abilities, body types, and racial identities/ethnicities. Disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated at Kinky Salon.
Like, really people.
Consent is sexy. It doesn't always have to be verbal, and even a verbal yes can be unreliable if power dynamics or trauma are in play. Be empathic when seeking a yes. If you aren't sure, walk away! Consent is never inferred from silence, passivity, or a lack of resistance.
Please, please, please, don’t hang out on your own watching people! It makes them feel uncomfortable and it makes you look like a Wanky McJerkoff!!
Learn to know the difference between ‘playing hard to get’ and ‘get the fuck outta my face’. If you are given a hint, then take it.
Having a couple of drinks is fine, we are all grown ups here. But if you get shit-faced we will notice and we will kick you out. Learn more about our drug policy here.
We usually have a booth to capture your fabulous outfit, so keep your cameras AND your cellphones stashed for the duration.
Cellphone use is not welcome at Kinky Salon. Keep your phone stashed. If you need to use your phone, take it outside. That means calls, texting, social networking… ANY use of your phone is prohibited.
NEVER mention names or specific activities on any public blogs or message boards. What happens at Kinky Salon stays at Kinky Salon.
