What you're going to want to see is that your spa has a wet table and a vee-shee shower. This is really important because otherwise you're going to be forced to get up while you have muck and guck on you, and walk through the halls, and drip it all over the place, and it's just not going to be a very soothing and relaxing treatment. You want your therapist to be with you the whole time, performing every step of the service, from the application to the wrap, the scalp massage to the rinse, and then the final moisterizer application. You don't want to have be getting up and down. You want to make sure that your therapist has towels to cover you and protect your modesty. You want to make sure that you're given a disposable pantie to wear, because you certainly don't want to wear your own underwear, and then have to deal with that later. You wan to make sure the room is clean and spotless, and that there's a blanket to keep you warm, because the point of this treatment is to keep heat inside.
