What is a Spa For?

The word spa may conjure up subtle images of half naked patrons being bludgeoned by large masseuses to the relaxing sounds of Yani. But, that’s not exactly what you’re going to get now-a-days. There is a spa experience for everyone. Whether you are looking for grooming maintenance, relaxation, or rejuvenation, there is a way to meet all of your necessary “me-time” goals in a matter of hours.

Ladies and gentlemen, when pampering yourself from head to toe, where do you start? Let’s start with the top and work our way down. We all understand how essential our hair is to our overall appearance. You can get your hair conditioned, cut and styled. Scalp massages are a must because your follicles can use a break too. For the ladies some spas come equip with a salon feature for all of your unique hair treatment needs. For the men the similar barber option is also available for the necessities of the additional lining and shaving. This brings me to the extra hair essentials of personal grooming. Eye brows, upper lips, and any other excessive facial hair can be tended by expert hands. Yes, it does require a skilled hand to precisely shape a brow or a side burn. On the other end of the spectrum will be hair removal processes which include: waxing, electrolysis and threading.

Next, we treat our faces with the finest scrubs, washes, serums, and creams of the finest organic or scientifically enhanced solutions available. You may also opt for Mirodermabrasion, chemical, or laser peels while you are there. These options provide a skin resurfacing by means of removing the outermost layer of your skin, or initiating the process for a later sloughing off stage. Speaking of exfoliation, you can’t leave out your body. During your time in your favorite spa you can exfoliate, deep clean and massage away all of your worries and stresses of the week.

Skin treatments for the face are significant to the enhancement of one’s experience, however we all still need to relax. Relaxation at your favorite spa can involve water, massage or aroma therapy. There are even spas that include more of a holistic approach to the relaxation and healing effects of a retreat, even if it is just for the day. Whatever option you decide there will be a compliment available for any other services that you so choose.
