Day Spas And What They Offer


by Owen Jones


Are you feeling a bit jaded? A bit run-down or even worn out? Do you feel like you ought to have a holiday, yet you do not have the time or do not have the money just now? Well, a trip to a day spa might be the answer. Most women have been to a beauty salon and so have some men, yet fewer individuals of both sexes have been to a day spa.

A day spa is an extended version of a beauty salon. The extra amenities usually involve water in some form or oil - something liquid. However, day spas resemble beauty salons in that they normally offer all of the treatments that a beauty salon offers and pampering is the prime concern.

It is the pampering as much as anything that can wash your cares away for a while and make you feel as if you have recently come back from a short vacation. Four hours at a day spa can be more relaxing (and far better for you) than a weekend away on the razzle.

If you have never been to a spa before, it is worth doing a local search on the Internet and seeing what web sites come up. A good site should list the treatments that they offer, their prices and any package offers (often known as day packages). It ought to also mention whether you need to book up or just call in.

The prices might appear outrageous at first, yet it is worth checking how long the procedure takes and whether there are any luxurious preparations or oils involved, because they may be costly. Day packages can reduce the cost of a number of related treatments fairly significantly. If you still find it costly, maybe you could plan a trip for a few weeks in advance.

Something else that you should factor in while thinking about day spas and costs is the tranquility. Most spas have strict rules concerning noise. So, no small children, no shouting, no cell phones or pagers, no radios or Walkmen, just soothing background music. Everything in a day spa is meant to make you feel pampered, cared for, less stressed and much more relaxed.

So what treatments can you assume to find at a day spa? Well, everything that you would expect to find at a beauty salon for a start off, so that includes manicure, pedicures, hair styling, facials and make-up or make-overs.

However, a spa should also provide massages of various sorts like a full body massage, an oil massage, a Thai massage, a foot massage and maybe others too. They may also have a steam box or a sauna and / or Turkish Baths, mud wraps, herbal wraps, mud baths and even flotation chambers. Lots of spas offer aroma therapy and offer complimentary healthy drinks like fruit and vegetable juices too. Some might even have a swimming pool as well.

Detoxes feature fairly highly at most spas and some may offer colonic irrigation as well. However, the best value for money are the day packages or one-off specials, which permit you to combine several treatments for one discounted payment.
