If you have never been to a spa before, it can be a little intimidating to know what to expect. The thought of being pampered and indulged can quickly turn into feelings of nervousness and uncertainty. However, don’t let the unknown keep you from experiencing the many benefits of a spa visit.
In this blog post, we will explore what you can expect during your first visit to a spa, such as the top-rated Body by Shae in Winter Park, FL.
1. Scheduling Your Appointment: When you call to schedule your appointment, the spa receptionist will typically ask if you have any specific treatments in mind, as well as what time and date would work best for you. Many spas will also ask if you have a preference for a male or female therapist. If you are unsure what treatment you would like, the receptionist may recommend some popular options. Once you have found a time that works for you, the receptionist will book your appointment and may ask for a credit card to hold the reservation.
2. Arrival and Check-In: When you arrive at the spa, you will be greeted by the front desk staff. They will ask you to fill out a client intake form which will usually ask you about any medical conditions or allergies. The spa may also provide you with a robe and slippers to wear during your visit. Some spas may ask you to arrive early to take advantage of their relaxation area before your treatment.
3. The Treatment: Your therapist will then escort you to your treatment room. They will explain the treatment process and any materials you may need to remove or wear for the treatment to be completed. The therapist will leave the room to allow you to prepare, which can include disrobing, and then will knock before entering the room. During the treatment, the therapist will check in with you to ensure you are comfortable.
4. End of Treatment: Once the treatment is over, the therapist will ask you to take your time getting dressed and will leave the room. When you are ready, they will escort you back to the front desk where you can schedule your next visit or purchase any products related to the treatment you received. You will also be presented with the final bill at this time.
5. Gratuity: A gratuity is generally expected at a spa. It is customary to tip your therapist 15-20% of the treatment price. Some spas may include a service charge while others do not. If you are unsure, you can always ask the front desk staff what their policy is.
Visiting a spa can be an enjoyable and transformative experience. By knowing what to expect, you can go into your first spa appointment feeling confident and relaxed.
