Are you a first time spa goer? If so, here are a few tips to making your spa visit enjoyable and anxiety free.
Your trip to the spa should be relaxing and rejuvenating, but if you are unsure of how to prepare or what your options may be, your first time can be a bit tense. Each spa is unique, but if you follow these basic tips you will get the most out of your spa experience.
Book your spa appointment well in advance to be sure to get a time slot of your choice, and if you will be using a gift certificate, it is advisable to mention this to the receptionist when you are booking the appointment.
If you have a preference regarding a male or female massage therapist then by all means mention your preference when scheduling.
Be sure to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to your appointment time. This will allow you to get acquainted with the amenities offered at the spa and gives you a chance to get comfortable and ready for your treatment so that you may enjoy the entire duration of your schedule treatment.
Generally, it is recommended that you wear casual clothing that is easy to slip off and stow away in a locker, and it is advised to leave jewelry at home to be safe. If modesty is a concern, check with the spa. Some of the treatments may be done while you’re fully clothed, but some, such as hydrotherapies are better experienced in the nude. The steam room and whirlpool may be enjoyed in a bathing suit or in the nude.
If you have any type of medical condition, be sure to mention them when you book your appointment.
Try to avoid sun exposure on the day and day after the treatment and if you must shave try to do so at least two hours before your appointment.
And, finally, check to see if gratuities are included in the treatment fee. If not, it is customary to add 15 to 20 percent to the fee.
