We live an enviable lifestyle in Durban - the overall ‘vibe’ of Durban is relaxed and chilled out. That does not mean to say we do not need some pampering and de-stressing. 

Treating yourself, your loved one, your kids and your close friends or even work groups to a spa experience never gets boring. Which is why there are so many different types of spa experiences available to cater to this. And, of course, your pocket.

If you have not had a spa experience before, let’s cover what is expected of you as the client. Spa etiquette is designed to ensure a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all guests.  

 

Here are some key guidelines: 

1. Arrive Early 

  • Arrive 15-30 minutes before your appointment. This allows time for check-in, changing into spa attire, and relaxing before your treatment. 

 

2. Silence and Serenity 

  • Keep your voice low and avoid loud conversations to maintain a peaceful environment. 

  • Turn off or silence your mobile phone and other electronic devices. 

 

3. Proper Attire 

  • Wear the provided robe and slippers, or appropriate swimwear if using wet facilities like pools or saunas. 

  • You can undress to your comfort level for treatments; therapists are trained to drape you appropriately for privacy. 

 

4. Communication with Staff 

  • Inform your therapist of any medical conditions, allergies, or preferences at the start of the treatment. 

  • Feel free to communicate if the pressure is too light or firm during a massage or if you’re uncomfortable in any way. 

 

5. Hygiene 

  • Shower before using pools, saunas, or steam rooms, and before treatments like massages. 

  • Avoid heavy perfumes or colognes as others may be sensitive to strong scents. 

 

6. Respect Personal Space 

  • Respect the personal space of other guests, especially in shared areas like lounges or pools. 

  • Avoid engaging in conversations with other guests unless they seem open to it. 

 

7. Gratuity 

  • Gratuities are typically appreciated and may not be included in the treatment cost. Check the spa’s policy and tip according to your satisfaction. 

 

8. Cancellation Policy 

  • You might need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If so, do so within the spa’s specified timeframe (usually 24-48 hours) to avoid cancellation fees. 

 

9. Use of Facilities 

  • Follow the spa’s rules for using facilities like saunas, steam rooms, or jacuzzis. 

  • Limit your time in shared facilities if others are waiting. 

 

10. Post-Treatment Relaxation 

  • After your treatment, take time to relax and enjoy the spa’s amenities before leaving. 

  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially after treatments like massages or saunas. 

 

By following these etiquette guidelines, you’ll contribute to a pleasant experience for yourself and others. This will enhance the overall tranquility and enjoyment of your spa visit.
