How to Pick a Day Spa for Women

If you're planning a stay at a day spa for women, here's how to choose the one with the environment and services you desire.

Instructions

1. Start with a budget. Before choosing a day spa, you'll want to set your budget. This helps you steer clear of day spas that fall out of your price range.

2. Get a listing of day spas that operate in your area. You can use the Spa Finder Web site to help you get contact information for local spas (see Resources below). Call each day spa on your list and ask them questions to help you choose the one you wish to book.

3. Choose a day spa that caters specifically to women. Ask the day spa to fax or email you a list of their spa packages for women. The menu may include aromatherapy, massages, waxing, acupuncture, facials and body wraps.

4. Find out the hours during which the day spa operates. Decide whether or not their hours are convenient. You probably also want to choose a day spa that provides you with a light lunch for full- or half-day packages.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure that the day spa takes a short medical history. This ensures that you don't receive an unsafe treatment if you have a specific medical condition.

• Remember to check if the day spa puts your preferences first. For example, the spa should ask if you prefer a male or female massage therapist.
