Do I need to shave before spa?
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. A good tip is also to avoid poking and prodding your skin or nails in the days leading up to a treatment, as it may interfere with the technician’s services. If you’ve booked any exfoliation treatments, do not shave less than 24 hours or more before your appointment.
What does a woman wear to a spa day?
This depends upon which treatments you have booked and the facilities you will be using. In general, you should wear swimwear or underwear underneath a robe. Most spas want you to be comfortable and relaxed, so arrive wearing loose, comfortable clothing like gym clothes, yoga pants and t-shirts. Once you are changed, you’ll be spending most of your time in a robe anyway!Underwear: Most spas provide robes and towels, but you’ll still want to wear underwear underneath. Opt for comfortable, breathable options like sports bras and briefs.Dress Code: Most spas will provide you with a robe, slippers, and disposable underwear to wear during your treatments.

What should you not do during a massage?
Avoid talking too much. Talking during a massage is not conducive to staying relaxed. You should let go mentally and emotionally and allow your body to relax. Conversations block the healthy benefits of a massage. However this is your time and you can talk as much as you want if you feel it so necessary. Talking during a massage is a personal preference. Some people find that light conversation helps them relax, while others prefer silence to fully immerse themselves in the experience. Let your therapist know what makes you feel most comfortable.It’s up to you. Women usually remove their bras to allow the massage therapist to work on the back and shoulder area without getting massage oil or lotion on the bra. If your problem area is your low back, hips, buttocks, or groin, tight-fitting or large underwear can sometimes get in the way of massage work.Massage therapists may be asked to treat areas of the body that are considered sensitive; for example, the chest wall muscles, breast, gluteal region, upper inner thigh, anterior pelvic region, and groin area.Removing too much clothing can create an uncomfortable situation for both you and your massage therapist. Another important thing to avoid during a massage is making noises. Sometimes when massages feel very good, or very intense, we start to make noises unknowingly.The first rule of massage therapy is to communicate openly with your therapist. It is essential to let your therapist know what areas of your body are causing you discomfort or pain.
