Don’t wait until the Last Minute to Book Treatments.
Once you make lodging reservations, schedule your Spa Treatments. That way, you can ensure you get the services you want before all the prime slots are taken.
Arrive with Time to Spare.
Our Spa has a Beautiful Reception Room and outside Seating Area where you can decompress pre-treatment with a Refreshing Welcome Drink. There for we ask that you arrive 15 min prior to your treatment time. You may be asked to fill out paperwork during this time, so be sure to note which products or prescriptions-both ingested and topical-you’re using, as these can affect what the therapist chooses for you. Don’t forget to highlight medical conditions, like a wonky knee, so the therapist has a heads-up.
Unfortunately, if you arrive late you will be charged in full for their scheduled session, but will receive an abbreviated, pro-rated session. For example, if you scheduled an hour session and arrive 15 minutes late, you will be charged for that hour session but will only receive 45 minutes of treatment for that session, including consultation and changing time.
Lock away your phone and valuables.
The whole point of a Spa is to Completely Unplug. But if you can’t live without taking some pics, turn off the ringer and stash the phone in your robe during your treatments. As for jewelry: It’s just going to be you and your robe (and even that won’t always be on your body). It will be all too easy for your favorite pair of earrings to get lost.
Pass on the perfume.
It’s bothersome to those around you, and if you’re doing anything involving aromatherapy, your fragrance may overpower the essential oils, depriving you of their benefit.
Remember that you’re the Client.
If something isn’t to your liking-say, the temperature is too hot or cold, or your therapists pressure during a massage is to much Speak Up. No spa wants its guests to be unhappy, especially if the problem can be addressed immediately.
Prepare to go nude.
This is particularly true in the case massages, and scrubs. But even if you’re having a facial, the therapist will likely ask you to remove your top so that she can massage the creams on your neck and chest. Remember: These are professionals, and they’re going to be draping you throughout your service to preserve your modesty, not leaving you lying there naked as a jaybird.
Think about the order of your services
Give yourself an hour or two to digest before any bodywork, or eat lightly before a massage. Schedule massages before facials, or else all the products that have been applied to your skin may come off on the face cradle. Plan for manicures and pedicures last.
Wait to shower or apply makeup.
You paid for all these skin-pampering creams and oils, so allow ample time to absorb their benefits. If you absolutely can’t
go barefaced post-facial, just do eyes and lips so the rest of your skin can breathe.
Don’t Forget to Leave a Little Something Behind.
And by that, we mean a tip. Gratuities are not included in the price of a service, at our Spa and our hard working Therapists always appreciate to know how much you loved their treatments. Cash is always appreciated for tips.
