How early should you arrive at a spa?
Punctuality: Arrive at least 15-20 minutes before your appointment to allow time for check-in and to change into spa attire. If you wish to enjoy the spa amenities, we recommend arrival up to one hour ahead of your first scheduled treatment to enjoy hot tub, steam, and relaxation areas. As a general rule of thumb, most hot tub sessions last between 15 and 45 minutes. If after 45 minutes you want to keep soaking, we recommend stepping out for a bit to give your body a break. Hydrate, rest and then enter the spa again.In many cases, you’ll get the green light to stay in the spa as long as you’re comfortable and feeling well. As a general rule of thumb, most hot tub sessions last between 15 and 45 minutes. If after 45 minutes you want to keep soaking, we recommend stepping out for a bit to give your body a break.A hot tub is a perfect spot for quality time with your partner. It can be a romantic and relaxing place to share moments together without distractions from the outside world.I understand the basic principles of hot tub etiquette, such as not bringing food or drink into the area, not staying in the water for more than 30 minutes, not getting in the water if it is hotter than 104°F, as well as just being mindful of other people in the area.
Do I shower before a spa?
Yes, it’s courteous to shower before arriving, especially if you’ve been sweating or have applied lotions and perfumes. This ensures a more pleasant experience for both you and the therapist. While there are no hard-and-fast rules, most therapists and seasoned spa-goers agree that showering before a massage – whether it be an in-home massage or at a salon -can significantly enhance your experience.After a massage, your body is in a state of relaxation and recovery, and the massage oils applied to your skin continue to nourish it. Taking a hot bath immediately could strip away these benefits. Generally, it’s recommended to wait at least two to three hours after a massage before taking a bath.Bonus Tip: After Enjoying Your Hot Tub… Always take a shower afterward as well to remove the chemicals from your skin. Don’t forget to wash your bathing suit as the chemicals can damage the fabric over time. Most of all, enjoy yourself! That’s what your hot tub is for!

Do I wear a bra to the spa?
Some people prefer to keep their underwear on during the treatment, which is totally fine. If you’re wearing a bra, it would probably be beneficial to remove this so the therapist can work on your back properly. If you feel comfortable taking it off, then take it off. The reason being, your Aesthetician applies products and massages your shoulders and decollete. Many people don’t want products to get on their bra, so they choose to take it off. Don’t worry, you’ll be covered.
