Are you in need of a vacation but can’t take a day off? Day spas are the ideal place to get refreshed and invigorated without having to go too far from home. Day spas offer a variety of treatments such as exfoliating, waxing, aromatherapy and more. Some also offer amenities such as a sauna, steam room or hair salon. Services are done in private treatment rooms by trained estheticians and therapists.

Sound appealing? Then get ready to book your day of rejuvenation!

The best way to find a day spa is by word of mouth. Ask people what services they use and who they are done by.

Tour the spa before you book your appointment. The environment should look clean, safe and calming. Do you like the ambiance? It may have a running-water fountain or a display of lit candles with soft music playing in the background.

Peruse the menu of treatments. Do you like the services they provide? Do they offer packages which combine a few services at an economical price?

Inquire about what is and is not included in all treatments. Are tips factored into the price? Do you get a meal, robe or slippers during your stay, or are they an additional charge? Is there a changing facility with lockers on site?

Ask about the qualifications of the staff, including what treatment styles and methods they use, their training and background, and how long they’ve worked at the spa.

Once you’ve gotten all of your answers, and depending upon how happy you are with them, you can choose to book your appointment there, or you can move on to the next spa until you find one that’s right for you. Once you do, count on having one of the most relaxing experiences of your life.
