How to Plan the Perfect Spa Day
You deserve a break! So, you’ve decided to treat yourself and/or someone you love to a relaxing day at the spa, but where do you start? Spas usually offer a wide range of treatment options; from massages and facials to even clinical treatments like laser hair removal. With such a variety of choices to choose from, it can be difficult to decide what to go for. In this article, we will go over crucial steps on how to plan your spa day to make sure that you’ll have the best experience the moment you step into the spa.
1. Ask yourself what your body needs.
Body Treatments - Do you often find yourself stressed out? Is your body aching? Massage therapy is great for general relaxation and relieving tension throughout your entire body. It is one of the most popular choices of spa treatments that people go for when they want to unwind. There are 6 different types of massages, each with their own benefits, so you can surely find one that will fit your needs.
Face Treatments – If you’re looking for a way to improve your skin, then perhaps a facial would do just the thing. European Facials and HydraFacials are the two most common facial treatments that will leave your skin glowing, but there are also many other options including custom facials that are tailored to your skin needs.
Nail Treatments – Nail health can be easily overlooked, but manicures and pedicures will help you maintain healthy nails, hands, and feet.
Eyelash Treatments – Enhance the natural beauty of your eyes with eyelash extensions, which will add volume to your lashes without having to use mascara or other products.
Hair Removal Treatments – Make the hair removal process easy with wax treatments or even laser.
2. Choose the right spa.
An essential part of having the perfect spa day is spending it at the right spa. While choosing a day spa, you should always check their service menu or give them a call to confirm if they have the service(s) you’re looking for. Cleanliness is another important factor; spas serve many clients every day and not all of them may follow the appropriate procedures for cleaning in between appointments. You can always give the spa a call and ask about their procedures or check their online reviews to see what others have said about their experience.
3. Book in advance.
While it may be possible to get a same-day appointment depending on the spa you choose and their availability, it would be best to make a reservation and schedule your treatments earlier to ensure that your spa day goes smoothly. Don’t wait until the last minute to book!
The simplest and best way to plan the perfect day at the spa is to buy a spa package, which is a bundle of pre-selected spa services. Depending on the package, extra treats such as Champagne, chocolates, spa gifts, and more may be included with your experience.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself while deciding which spa package to purchase:
1. What is the occasion? Are you looking to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, special event, or just looking for a relaxing experience?
One of the best ways to pick the right package for you is to do so based on the occasion that is being celebrated. At ZZ Day Spa, we offer a range of spa packages for all kinds of special events, which we will discuss below. Even if you’re not celebrating any event in particular, getting a spa package could give you the much-needed relaxation that your body has been waiting for.
2. How many people are involved? Will you be treating yourself, coming with a partner, or as a group?
Most spa packages, with the exception of Couples Massage or Couples Romance packages, are for individual use. While you are planning your spa day, it is important to know how many people will be coming with you to the spa so that the right number of packages are purchased. This is also important for the staff to know so they can tailor the experience to your needs.
3. What kinds of spa services would you want included?
While opting for a massage is quite common, some people would prefer to skip the massage and go for a facial. We recommend having some kind of idea of which service(s) you’d like to make your package selection process easier.
If you’d prefer to just enjoy a relaxing Swedish Massage and rejuvenating European Facial with no frills, you may want to consider opting for a Euro Facial/Swedish Massage Combo. Although this may seem like the simplest package that is often overlooked, it is the perfect combination for those who are mainly interested in the services alone or for people in a time crunch but still want to reap the benefits of a massage and facial.
4. How much are you looking to spend?
Spa packages can start anywhere from less than $200 to $1,400 and above. There are many options when it comes to spa packages, but it is important to find one that will fit your budget.
