Here is a list of things to know in order to start a day spa business, read on to find more.
Starting a day spa!
The spa business is a booming business with over thousands of newer and better businesses coming up every day. But there is business for everyone. After a hard days work, any one would like to be pampered and relaxed with the best in services you could ever wish for.
- Keep a list of services which you would like to offer to your clients who come. Most clients don’t have the time to stick around for more than a few hours. Choose treatments which your customers can avail of for a few hours like Swedish massages, body mummification etc which are completely rejuvenating but take only a few hours to complete.
- There are several things you have to be aware of while running a day spa like licensing requirements. Make sure you find out what are the options available for you to complete your spa application, health standards etc.
- Location is really important as you can’t have the spa located in a residential locality where the walk through customers may be very low! For an initial establishment, to run only one person and 300- 350 sq ft of space is enough but more than that may be required if you are employing more employees.
- You will also need to source the material and the equipment to run your day spa like tables, body lotions, powders, etc to keep your day spa running.
- If you have a larger space then you should think of hiring expert staff like,
- Stylists who are licensed cosmetologists who are licensed to give foot massages and head massages.
- Salon managers are also needed to keep the salon’s day to day functioning normal. Although you can be tempted to keep the running in your hands only; don’t do it as it can be really tiring and confusing too.
- Shampoo assistants are needed to shampoo hair in between jobs while stylists are busy with other work and to clean up hair clippings and other problems.
- Receptionists are really great to keep your customers busy while your stylists are busy with other clients.
- Manicurists and electrologists are specialized technicians who do need a little experience as well as a degree before you can hire them.
- Publicize your opening well in advance as you will have to make sure that everyone knows about your grand opening at least a few days before hand and offer incentive discounts for the opening.

Its nb to remember that any business can boom In the first few months, after that the hard work starts. My best advice is never go into business with friends or even accepted extended family help, as this just complicates things good luck to all you ladirs, never let anyone talk your dream down just go for it and do it.
