GRATUITIES
As in all service-related businesses it is common to tip the person who has done a good job to the
satisfaction of the customer.  Gratuities are based on the total cost of service.  If you are able to enjoy
a sale or special during your visit, gratuities are based on the full price of service, not the sale price.
Spas usually provide an envelope at the front desk or in the room for you to place the gratuity into it
with the therapist’s name. You do not have to carry money around with you and worry about this while
enjoying the spa facilities. For groups of 4 and up, we add an 18% gratuity on to all services rendered.
This service charge will be reflected on your bill. You are always welcome to add to this charge for
services rendered.

Cell Phones & Pagers
Respecting the meditative, private and personal nature of our environment, loud conversation, cell
phones, pagers and other electronic devices are not permitted inside the spa. We consider the spa a
“whisper” zone.

Showers
We have limited shower facilities. If you would prefer to use our shower facilities, please let us know
when booking your appointment. We would like to include this service on your schedule to ensure
availability.

Jewelry & Valuables
Please remove all jewelry and watches. Unfortunately, we are not able to take responsibility for
valuables that are lost or left behind.










Can I ask my therapist to make adjustments?
Absolutely. This is your treatment. Communicate with the staff regarding room temperature, pressure,
technique, etc.  We value your feedback. In addition, at the time of booking your appointment, discuss
with the associate your preferences for gentle, moderate or deep massage, male or female therapists.
We customize all services to your particular needs and preferences.

Is there anything else I should be aware of before my appointment?
It is recommended that you refrain from consuming alcohol at least eight hours prior to your Spa
treatment. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted in the Spa.

What should I know about health concerns?

you are pregnant, you may want to avoid treatments using deep pressure and
hydrotherapy treatments involving heat.  Please inform our associates upon
scheduling your appointments.  Any other health concerns may be addressed
personally prior to your treatments.
