Day Spa

What to look for when selecting an ethical Day Spa:

  1. Make sure to stop in and take a tour of any new spa you're considering. While touring a spa, make sure to keep your eyes open for any "red flags" that indicate unsanitary conditions. Look at the drains in wet rooms and showers, inquire about the sanitation procedure of pedicure equipment, and most importantly, check the wax pots. Make sure that the spa is using new utensils for each client.

  2. Observe other clients within the spa during your tour, starting in the lobby. Notice if they seem relaxed and comfortable.

  3. The most important thing is to feel comfortable with each therapist. It's acceptable to request a male or female therapist if it makes you feel more comfortable. It's also acceptable in most cases to be clothed if you are more comfortable.

  4. Request to meet your therapist before your appointment.

  5. Remember; arrive at the spa 15 minutes prior to your treatment time so you do not delay your treatment starting time.

  6. Look for a spa that doesn't focus on selling you the largest package they offer.

  7. Make sure the spa makes you complete a medical questionnaire before any treatment is done.

  8. It's our opinion that the therapist should represent the spa. Look for professional, courteous, pleasant and cleanly dressed therapists.

  9. Make sure the spa asks you to complete a medical questionnaire and reviews the information with you prior to your treatment.

Questions to ask when selecting a company in this industry:

  1. How long has the spa been in business?

  2. How long has the therapist been practicing?

  3. Are you licensed by the state?

  4. Are all the therapists and technicians licensed?

  5. What are the benefits of the treatments?

  6. Can the staff fully explain to your satisfaction the treatments you are interested in?

What to avoid when selecting a business in this industry:

  1. Avoid a spa that doesn't have licenses of all therapists on display for each client to view.

  2. A spa or therapist that is not on time.

  3. Avoid a therapist that doesn't take your lead, and talks without you initiating the conversation.

  4. Be leery of a therapist who seems disinterested in you. They should inquire about previous treatments you have had and communicate to you during treatments if you ask questions.

  5. A spa that's not clean.

  6. A spa which seems more interested in selling packages than discussing your needs.

    

After interviewing and running an extensive background check the National Association Against Consumer Fraud has awarded the following business a listing in The Business A-List:

Allure Medical Day Spa

1561 S. Alafaya Trail Suite 400
Orlando, FL 32828

Phone (407) 382-2225

www.alluremdspa.com

The owners of Allure decided to open a Medical Day Spa because we were disappointed in the lack of services offered locally and the poor customer service offered by smaller "spas" in the Orlando area. Allure Medical Day Spa opened in 2004 blending eastern treatments like Acupuncture, and Reiki and western philosophies including Microdermabrasion, medical facials, and laser treatments in a tranquil spa environment. Clients can enjoy couples' massage treatments in our large couples' suite, or side-by-side nail treatments while relaxing with a cup of tea or glass of wine. Our talented staff is available for free consultations to answer any questions you may have about your skin type. As soon as you step inside Allure you will be impressed by the professional staff, décor and immediate sense of relaxation you feel before and during and after your treatments.
