'Know
before you go' is the buzz phrase for spas. Nowadays there
is a spa to suit everyone and every activity. Some offer
archery lessons and others let you pop in for a quick
treatment during your lunch break. Consider what your
lifestyle demands, and make it a point to discover your
personal Spa Style.
Research Your Spa
Choosing your spa is important. Read the brochures and
try to get a sense of the environment and whether you
will enjoy being there. Do you think the staff is friendly
and helpful? Are you comfortable asking questions and
discussing your needs and treatments with them?

Know
the spa's philosophy because many spas are specialised
and vary a great deal. Some specialise in beauty treatments
like hairstyling, skin care, and makeup application. Others
are designed to be a day's escape, a place to go to relax
and reduce your stress. Others maintain a holistic approach
to wellness and offer nutrition counselling, exercise
classes, and alternative health treatments.
Know what you are looking for and what you hope to achieve
from your treatments. Familiarise yourself with the services
the spa offers. Ask for a detailed description of the
treatments that interest you and know what each treatment
entails before you book your appointment.
Arrive Early
Don't rush. Relaxation is one of the benefits of spa treatments
and it is important to take full advantage of your visit.
Plan to arrive 15-30 minutes before your appointment as
most spa treatments begin exactly on time. A late start
would shorten your treatment as appointments finish on
time in order to avoid inconveniencing the next client.
Consider Other Guests
Enjoy the silence. Spa is a place for quiet and relaxation
and we ask guests to leave all cell phones, pagers and
music players outside and turned off. Spa a place for
you to pamper yourself - leave your children with a babysitter
so that you can devote these precious moments to looking
after yourself.
Modesty
All of our therapists are women. Most customers undress
completely for treatments and remain partially covered
with towels or a sheet. If you would rather not be completely
undressed, then you can wear undergarments. Ask beforehand
about the privacy levels in the dressing, shower facilities
and treatment rooms so that you can prepare yourself and
feel comfortable.
What to Bring
As little as possible. Our spas provide cotton robes,
unlimited towels, and slippers. Many also provide hairstyling
and facial products. If you have something important to
attend to when you leave, consider bringing your own hair
and makeup toiletries. Leave jewellery and valuables in
a safe place.
Food
Arrive satiated, neither hungry nor full. If you wish
to have a bite to eat, our spas offer healthy meals and
drinks. We recommend that you avoid alcohol immediately
before or after spa treatments.
Medical History
Be open with your medical history so that your therapist
can help you to choose appropriate treatments. It will
be useful to know whether you have suffered any trauma
or if you have any of the following conditions: high blood
pressure, heart condition, allergies, varicose veins,
pregnancy or recent surgery. |
