How to wear your hair for a spa day?
How should you wear your hair in a spa? If you have long hair, we find it is best to wear it tied back – whether that is in a high ponytail or messy bun. You can wear it down if you prefer, but we find that long hair can get in our faces – and that is not relaxing! Keep it high enough on your head that you aren’t lying down on it when I remove the pillow and you are face up. But, honestly, if you have long hair, just leave it down.Many of my clients with long hair wear it up in a ponytail or bun. And this is fine if you follow one simple rule. Keep it high enough on your head that you aren’t lying down on it when I remove the pillow and you are face up. But, honestly, if you have long hair, just leave it down.
Do you take a bag to a spa?
It is also advised that you take two separate bags, one for taking into the spa, and the other which you can leave in your hotel or locker room should you be staying overnight. Robes and towels are usually provided, but there are a number of items that you should take that you will be grateful for during your stay. For most spa treatments, you can keep on your swimming costume or underwear. If you are having a back massage, you can wear knickers. Some treatments, such as Reiki and shiatsu, are done through your clothes.Spas want their guests to be as comfortable as possible, so if you would prefer to arrive in non-restrictive garments, such as gym wear or lounge wear then that will be absolutely fine. After this, you will change and spend most of your time in a robe anyway.Change of Clothes: Comfortable attire for after your treatments or if the spa has a gym, you could bring some spare gym clothes too. Footwear: Easy-to-remove shoes or flip-flops are handy.Visitors are expected to cover up using a robe/dressing gown between treatments and when in the spa’s public areas and must wear swimwear while enjoying the venue’s Jacuzzi and steam room facilities.For massages and body treatments, ideally you disrobe completely (that means underwear, too). Most spas offer paper panties to wear during body treatments (like scrubs, wraps, or self-tanning)—they don’t cover much, but enough to provide a modicum of modesty.
What is the best order for a spa day?
Choose the Right Order While the spa team can assist you with this, it’s a good idea to come in with an idea of what you want. For example, if you’re getting a massage and a facial, it’s usually a good idea to schedule the facial after the massage. This is because oils are often used during massages. It is important to shave before your laser hair removal appointment, 24 hours before is recommended. Shaving on the day of your session can be dangerous and should be avoided completely. This is because when you shave the razor may lift a layer of skin off as it passes over your skin.Should I shave before my spa service(s)? We recommend allowing several hours between shaving and receiving any service that involves an exfoliation (body services, scrubs, facial) to decrease the risk of skin irritation or discomfort.
