Day Spa

What to look for when selecting an ethical day spa:

When selecting a day spa for that special someone or to pamper yourself you should select a spa that:

1. The entire staff is certified and experienced in their own specialty.

2. It is beneficial if the spa owner has a background in spa therapies, preferably a licensed Beauty Industry professional.

3. The spa itself should be a clean, safe, calming and nurturing environment. It should have private treatment rooms for each client receiving a personal service, larger spa's should include showering and changing facilities for women and men, and spa robes and shoes for all sizes.

4. It is important to make sure that you are comparing apples to apples.

5. The spa should use safe and natural professional products with the highest quality ingredients, not only in retail but in spa services as well. A good ethical day spa will spend the time to build a relationship with you so they may better cater to your individual needs.

6. A good Day Spa will also have a line of professional products that the therapists can recommend for home care between visits to the spa.

7. A good day spa will allow plenty of time for the services and not try to rush clients in and out.

8. A seating area or relaxation room should be available.

It is important that you feel comfortable as soon as you step foot in the day spa. Before purchasing a package it is wise to visit the spa to get a tour and meet some of the staff.

It can not be emphasized enough that there is a big difference between the quality of service, staffs and environment among day spas.

Also, it is wise to do some research. Just because a facility looks impressive doesn't necessarily mean they are knowledgeable about spa therapies. Paying more for services does not guarantee better service, nor does paying less necessarily mean poor quality services.

As a simple test, ask any day spa; what defines their spa? If they do not include or offer water therapy in their treatments, such as hydrotherapy, Vichy or Swiss shower body treatments, you may want to look elsewhere. A spa isn't just "a place to relax", as some would suggest.

What to avoid when selecting a day spa:

1. Any spa that does not have separately licensed Professionals, i.e. Estheticians, Massage Therapists, and Nail Technicians (if offered).

2. Any spa that does not incorporate water therapy into their services, i.e. Vichy or Swiss Shower for body treatments.

3. Spas that began as tanning salons , nail salons, or hair salons usually do not qualify as a real spa based on services offered.

4. Any spa that will not allow you to see their facilities before purchasing.

5. Any spa that does not take the time to get to know what your needs and desires are.
