spa

I’ve learned recently that stress comes in three different major forms: postural, emotional and chemical. All of which contribute in our quality of life. I know this for a fact since my bad back has been pretty persistent in making this felt.Then there comes the chemical pollution from the air that brings with it unbelievable amounts of toxins to our system. We subject ourselves to regular free radicals and it’s not as if we have a choice. It has become a way of life, truth be told, and we barely have control over it.

But we do the best that we can and as good stewards of our health, vigilance is always the key. Regular detoxification nowadays has become more than just a luxury. With the choice of food, sure we can always try to go organic but with the air pollution we encounter whether we commute or drive, create a build up of free radicals that need to be purged off our bodies.

Everyone needs a little pampering once in awhile, and if you’re looking for an outlet, a trip to the spa will soothe the body and rejuvenate the soul. But how can you tell the good spas from the merely average? Here are four things to look for the next time you need a taste of luxury.

1. Assorted Treatments

Though every spa will offer different therapies and body treatments, they should always form a long list. From aromatherapy baths to exotic facials and skin peels, it’s important that a spa provides total body service for a variety of needs.

2. Certified Staff

Masseuses should be licensed by the state or certified by the National Certification Board of Massage Therapy (NCETMB). Acupuncturists should be regionally trained and accredited. Don’t put your aching body into the hands of people without skills and experience.

3. White Glove Service

Does the staff take your coat at the door? Do they offer free drinks while you’re soaking in the jacuzzi? The whole point of a spa visit is to feel like a million bucks, which isn’t easily accomplished if the staff is discourteous or inattentive.

4. Incentives

The sign of a truly accommodating spa is one that caters to a bad economy. Look for establishments like the GiGi Salon Spa that offers deals, discounts and coupon savings for both new and repeat customers.

These are just four ways to determine the quality of a spa. Use them wisely in order to find a great facility near you!
