Now that you’ve stepped for inside, you’ll want to start by checking in. This may seem obvious but it’s<br />
a pivotal point, this is when you can ask for a tour of the facility and acquire any robes, slippers, towels<br />
etc. Any good spa will also ask you to fill in a health questionnaire when you first check-in. This is to<br />
understand if you have any medical conditions, are on any medication, or have any allergies which may<br />
determine the type of products used. If you aren’t asked to fill one in be sure to point out any, and we<br />
mean any, issues or concerns you have.<br />
AT THE SPA<br />
Trust the staff, especially if it’s your first time. You may not<br />
be sure on what the rules are or how to behave in particular<br />
situations, it’s always best to communicate with the staff on<br />
hand. They’ve probably heard it all, so no question will be<br />
deemed silly, and they’ll likely offer the best advice. You’re not<br />
expected to make friendly conversation but don’t be afraid to<br />
speak up if you’re uncomfortable or have questions about a<br />
procedure.<br />
Be mindful of other people during your time at the spa. If<br />
you’re in a group, it’s easy to get caught up in the fun but<br />
be aware other people are there to relax also. Discretion and<br />
modesty in the changing area is advised and make sure you<br />
leave this area how you’d like to find it.<br />
If you’re going to a large spa or one that’s part of a hotel, you’ll<br />
probably find a whole host of extra facilities and services<br />
to take advantage of such as a pool, gym, sauna, bar, or<br />
restaurant. Make the most of it, it’s not often you get to treat<br />
yourself to a spa day.<br />
Finally, at the end of it all, keep in mind the tip. This obviously<br />
varies from spa to spa and between countries, so to be safe<br />
check the spa gratuity policy. Some places may charge this<br />
anyway, if in doubt go with 20% of the total treatment cost.<br />
