Booking a massage, bodywork or spa treatment
Booking a massage is the first step to your next appointment with relaxation. Most people look forward to their massage appointments from the moment they’ve made the reservation up until the moment it arrives. Knowing this, we understand how important it is to have the details straight when booking a massage.
Once you’ve decided the type of massage, bodywork or spa treatment you want, its time to make your appointment. Simple questions when booking can lead to better experiences, so following are a few tips.
Booking a massage or spa treatment
When you are booking a massage or spa treatment, inquire about or specify the following:
♦ if you have a preference and it is an option, which gender you prefer your massage therapist to be;
♦ the type of massage service or spa treatment you want;
♦ how long for your service – some treatments are available in time variations of a 25 (30), 50 (60) or 80 (90)-minute treatment, depending on the treatment itself;
♦ in case you’re coming from/to work or dinner, do they have lockers and showers available;
♦ what time you should arrive prior to your appointment start (there may be paperwork to complete or spa amenities to enjoy);
♦ if they have spa amenities such as a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, etc. available for your use and if they are coed (you may need your swimsuit);
♦ if they have sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, etc. available, is there an additional fee to use them or are they included in your service;
♦ always indicate if you are pregnant and also review pregnancy massage (maternity massage) information and Contraindications of Massage for more information on pregnancy and massage; and
♦ advise the individual booking the appointment for you if you or someone you are booking the appointment for will need assistance, such as a person in a wheelchair who may need help in and out of the chair for their massage service or spa treatment (ensure proper access to facilities is available).
Successful booking
Successful booking proves itself when your spa experience goes smoothly as desired. Taking a few minutes while booking a massage service can spare you disappointment and frustration during your service.
Follow the above suggestions and if you booked in advance, confirm your details the day before. It may seem redundant, but you never know when an honest mistake was made or possibly a computer disruption.
Do what you can to ensure your time is truly your time…and enjoy!
