SPA ETIQUETTE
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SPA EXPERIENCE:

Your trip to Spa Mizan should be a relaxing, rejuvenating experience. The suggestions below will ensure that you get the most out of your spa experience. However, please call ahead if you are unsure of anything.

Reserving Your Appointment

Peak hours are late afternoons, Fridays and Saturdays, so be sure to book as far in advance as possible in order to ensure getting the particular time, day and service provider that you want. If available, same-day reservations and walk-in guests are always welcome. Appointments are reserved with a credit card or gift card. If you will be attending the spa with a gift card or promotional card, please mention this so that the spa concierge can advise you of any policy that may affect its use.

Punctuality

Guests are asked to arrive 20 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. First-time guests are asked to complete a questionnaire in order to provide your service provider with important medical and contact information. Late arrivals will result in a shortened appointment time so as not to inconvenience our other guests. After your treatment, you are invited to spend additional time unwinding in the comfort of our meditation room.

In order for you and all of our other spa guests to enjoy a relaxing spa experience, we ask that all cell phones be silenced and not used during your spa time with us. Emergency calls will be taken at our front desk and referred immediately if necessary.

Cancellations

If you must cancel your appointment, a 24-hour cancellation notice is required on single services and 48 hours for two or more services. This gives us time to replace that appointment for our commission-based service providers. Cancellations without sufficient notice will be charged full service prices and charged to your credit card or deducted from your gift card.

Gratuities

Gratuities are personal decisions and left to your own discretion and level of satisfaction. If you choose to tip, spa tipping follows the same rules as restaurant tipping. The average is between 15% and 20%. On parties of five or more, 18% gratuity will automatically be added to your bill.

Medical Conditions

Please mention any medical conditions or concerns that you might have when booking your appointment. Certain spa or facial treatments may not be advisable. It is advisable to remove contact lenses before a facial, massage or other body treatments.

Exploring Our Facility

On arrival, our spa concierge will enthusiastically give you a tour of the spa prior to your treatment. The tour will acqaint you with your surroundings and introduce you to additional spa facilities.

Attire

Most guests come to our spa in very casual attire—something they can easily slip off and put away. If modesty is an issue, your concerns will be respectfully addressed. Comfortable spa wear, sarongs, robes and slippers are supplied for our spa guests who spend several hours with us. In the privacy of your massage room, massage guests are asked to disrobe to their comfort level before getting onto the massage table. All of our massage therapists are licensed professionals and are trained in proper draping techniques. At no time will you be naked in front of the massage therapist. As the therapist works on you, only that part of the body being worked on is revealed. If modesty is a concern, you can certainly leave your undergarments on. Please know that some oils may get on these garments. If you are having wet body services: scrubs, wraps, Vichey shower and choose to leave your undergarments on, we suggest bringing a swim suit or a change of undergarments since you will get wet.
