You haven’t been to a spa in a long time or maybe ever…and you’re wondering where to begin. You’re thinking about your safety and receiving quality care. So many questions pop into your head. Will they know my needs? Will they take good care of me? Will they judge me? Will I get my monies worth? Here’s what to look for:
- Well Trained Staff
Contact your spa of choice prior to your visit. Prepare a list of questions you have about your service, guest service representatives should be happy to address any concerns you have. Their knowledge should leave you at ease.
- Tenured Staff
How long have the employees worked there and how much experience do they have? Most spa websites should have a list of tenured employees. Look for spas’ that have good customer recommendations on Google. What are past clientele saying? If there is a long list of unsatisfied clients you don’t want to be the next one!
- Serene Atmosphere
Spa’s are made to help you relax and de-stress. It’s hard to feel pampered if you’re not comfortable with the lighting, color, music or environment of the spa. If you don’t feel relaxed while you’re there that’s a major red flag! Many spas have video tours of their facilities to view before ever stepping foot on the property.
- Sanitary Conditions
All technicians should be dressed in clean, professional clothing. All floors and treatment areas should noticeably taken care of. The tools your technician uses in your service hold major potential for spreading bacteria. By law these implements must be disinfected or sterilized. Bonus points if the spa has an Autoclave. Autoclaves deliver the highest level of sterilization, through the use of dry steam to kill 99.9999% of all germs. Read more about the best day spa conditions here.
Lastly, your spa experience is an investment in self. Knowing why you want to attend a spa is important in order for the technicians to meet your wellness needs. While your spa experience is relaxing it should also be restorative. Most spas want to see their guest leave satisfied and see your feedback as valuable. Remember, they want you to spread the word, and especially to return.
