Response to: "What is important to you when buying spa
related equipment?"
Response to: Rate the following types of equipment...
(Please note: The yellow line does not indicate a trend over
time but rather should be viewed as a "tipping of the scale" towards the GOT TO
HAVE IT or PASSING FAD side.)
Response to: Name how spa equipment may have had a
POSITIVE EFFECT on your client's experience:
| Even though I don't have a hydrotherapy tub, I have
referred my clients to one at another day spa in town and they love it. They
love the variety of treatments available with the tub. |
| Best for relaxation is the rotary brush, best for aid in a
facial is the steam unit. |
| Vichy Showers... they are very relaxing, totally pampering
and beats having to get up from the massage table full of mud etc. to rub
yourself clean in the shower. |
| Hydrotherapy tub for its effectiveness in feeling and
results |
| I like to use the High Frequency but only when needed - not
every client needs it. |
| I think the SoftPak is the best experience for the guest.
The thermal electric blanket is also great as a less expensive resource. |
| Hydrotherapy tub is kind of a novel thing, alot of spas
don't have them so guests find it different and relaxing. Paraffin foot
bath because of softening results on skin. |
| Lucas Championniere Atomizer: it adds a unique feel to our
facials and is super hydrating, which is very important to our clients in our
desert setting. |
| On hands the best - clients need more touch experience
instead of machines. clients are missing out on the affection! |
| Custom designed co-ed hydrotherapy pools--fun and unique
|
| Woods lamp because it enhances the consultation with a
visual |
| By far the steam unit. it relaxes the clients, warms them,
and helps a lot of them with sinus problems. and my acne and deep pore clients
love it because it makes extractions painless. |
| Hot Cabbies in all rooms, Facial/massage tables and Hot
Stone Roasters |
| Ultra Sonic Treatment they work and bring great results
|
| The steam capsules are a big favorite with people with sore
backs, and any sports injuries. Also the O2 bars are popular with everyone.
|
| Full Function Skin Care Machine during facials. Sets
us above what client has previously experienced. Most other Day Spa's in
our area do not have any equipment. |
| Client's comment on our comfortable large roomy massage
tables and facial beds. Technicians are also very pleased with these
products. |
| Personal steam unit used prior to body treatments allows
for privacy for the guest and allows provider time for set up and preparation.
|
| Our guests seem to truly appreciate the hands on approach
and not so much diverse equipment. |
| The shower; after the mud wrap or salt glow my clients can
wash off quickly and resume treatment with little interruption. |
| Soft Pak system |
| The steamer for facials because of the "feel good" aspects,
Our Pedicure chair that does everything but pay your bills for you and last
but not least the Microdermabrasion machine because it does more for the
clients skin than ever before. |
| Microdermabrasion because it gives instant results on the
first treatment and spectacular results after a full series. |
| Aromatherapy diffusers...... first impressions are lasting
ones.... and their sense of smell is positively affected the minute they enter
the spa..... they ALWAYS comment on this, and request information on how to
duplicate this at home.
The other important piece of equipment would be my Therapist's hands!!......
always the highlight of any service.... and they rarely break down!!! |
| Electric tables and pregnancy options because of the
convenience and comfort for the client |
| Hydraulic massage tables, Manicure/Pedicure Chairs, Facial
Equipment |
| The pedicure throne has been very popular. |
| The Vichy shower |
| Heating blanket for absorption of kelp and mud is very
nurturing. |
| Vac/Spray and wood Lamp unit( skin scanner). The Vac/Spray
which is much more pleasant, as oppose to manual extraction. Also, a
full manual extraction like we did in the past is not what customer expect of
a spa experience. I like also the skin scanner where the client can
actually see their skin as we consult with the specific needs of our clients. |
| Steam tent...few spas offer it ..clients prefer it to
plastic sheets. Also microdermabrasion because clients see an immediate
result. Also the skin scope really helps sell microdermabrasion |
| Hydrotherm offers a positive guest experience: warm,
cushioned, nurturing comfort |
| A towel warmer - keeps temperature even, and guest cozy.
Also the oil warmer and heated blanket. |
| The Vichy shower because guests love the way it feels on
their body. |
| Vichy Shower- We are the only Spa in the area that has one.
|
| Vichy shower. Everyone loves it and it is in many
cases the first time for most of our guests. The NEVER forget once
they've had it!
|
| We're pretty basic. A comforatble face cradle and quiet,
smoothly-working table mechanism. Strong jets in the Hot Tubs. |
| Hydraulic Massage tables |
| We do not use the standard equipment. We do, however,
use specialized products and services for great skin care. |
| Hydraulic lift massage tables offer flexibility for the
therapist to perform a service in any room at a moments notice
most spa equipment noted above is expected in a resort spa |
| Oxygen tank and microdermabrasion machine--both provide
immediate, noticeable improvement in appearance of skin (healthy glow)
|
| Microdermabrasion |
| Microdermabrasion |
| People/staff have more impact on clients than equipment
|
| Vichy shower- People love the feeling of relaxing on a
table and having someone else cleanse there body. The combination of
warm water and the scrub make a wonderful experience. |
| Steam with facials also wet treatments done in a dry room. |
| Multiple pieces of equipment including electric tables,
swiss showers, hydro tubs, etc |
| Really our guests love our Hyrdotherapy rooms (Hydro-Tub
room, Vichy room & Swiss Shower area). We also get great reviews about our
couple's massage room with a fireplace and our couples, private pedicure room.
|
| Steam Canopy with Vichy (We are a health clinic that offers
this service, not necessarily classified as a "spa" of sorts.)
|
| I'm generalizing here as I have several clients.
Seems that microdermabrasion is generating business for my clients. Also
laser hair removal is heating up. Clients partner with a certified
doctor to do the treatments. |
| Facial Tables, Massage Tables and new Pedi Thrones. |
| Hydrotherapy tub and Vichy--they are a tougher seller but
so content. |
| Hydraulic Beds and Pedicure Spa. They help our
Seniors get on/off bed easily. The same is true for getting in and out
of the pedicure spa. Residents like the ease and feel. |
| Vichy shower, therapeutic effect, relaxing, new experience
for most of the people. |
| Our complimentary steam rooms in locker areas, our foot spa
in pedicure area, hydraulic beds in treatment rooms, hot towel cabis for
treatment rooms. |
| Portable tables for roof top beach massages, we just bought
2 hydro tubs to add more deluxe services. |
| Electric massage tables - ease of change of room therapist,
and very accommodating for clients. |
| Human Touch - people need the reassurance of hands and
confidence. The power of human touch is awesome. Clients love it.
|
| We have shiatsu massage chairs in our waiting area. Guests
love it. Hydro tub and Vichy shower as well as a signature shower.
|
| The Vichy shower adds a new dimension to body treatments
and is a unique experience for many guests. |
| The uni-pack and spa hot cabby and the heated blankets for
herbal wraps. They are so popular because it adds a sense of comfort for
guests during their treatments. |
| The warm pulsating water of the Vichy shower make our scrub
treatments wonderful.
The hydrotherapy tub is an integral part of our Kur treatments.
Guests love the footbath and heat/massage elements of our pedicure chairs.
|
| Chromapunctor and Biodraineur for state of the art
treatments also The hydrotherapy tub for the utmost comfort and pleasure in
Balneo. |
| I do believe it is important to be knowledgeable about all
the latest equipment and incorporate it into a menu & spa if that is the spa's
philosophy - if it is more naturopathic, hands on ... organic then a more
holistic approach is in order. |
| Steam canopy--it's a refreshing treatment. |
| Hydraulic Tables because we can adjust the height of the
client during the treatment to get the best leverage for the specific area
being worked. |
| Hydrotubs, quality skin care units, and multipurpose
electronic beds. |
| Herbal linens and hot stones. The concept of time so
that we are able to tailor treatments to the clients. |
| Hot towel cabinets and heated blankets as they enhance the
treatment and allow the guest to have a warm and pleasant experience.
|
| Our Hydrotub, because of the many jets and the programs.
|
| We only use one type of equipment. It is high
frequency.
|
| Steamer/hi-frequency/micro-dermabrasion/celulite/paraffin
All are treatments that have instant visual or sensory results. |
| Steam room, Massage Chair - nice amenities which set us
apart. |
| We only use equipment when specific to a product houses
treatment which has a positive impact on the experience as it makes it
different, special and this is the reason that the guests book the treatment
in the first place. |
| Electric massage tables allows for the therapist,
regardless of size, to get a better vantage point while massaging the guest.
Also, the use of high grade eucalyptus oil injection into the steam room
allows for higher levels of relaxation and the clearing of the respiratory
passages. The use of hot towel cabinets in each massage room has added to the
positive experience for our guests. |
| SoftPack system... because it's such a unique feeling
|
| Everyone loves the Vichy Shower w/ body treatments
|
| Lymphobiology - drainage, chromapuncteur - elasticity,
Biostimulateur, Softpack System -relaxation, skin moisturing & detox.
Hydrotherapy Tub - relaxation, contouring, sports relief, lymph drainage,
Swiss shower - stimulation, Vichy shower - relaxation, stimulation, Soaking
tubs w/out jets |
| Vichy shower-they love anything that's warm!! |
| The Pedi spa chairs for manicure and pedicure. Because it
gives them the chance to relax and almost go to sleep while they have their
pedicure or manicure |
| Vichy Shower, Hydraulic Tables, and Hydro Tub |
| Healing Hands & Hearts, Very well educated therapists, and
unique spa products. |
| Comfortable massage tables |
| Soft wrap tables, hot caddies in the rooms, Vichy showers,
hydraulic tables, hydraulic facial tables. |
| Lap Pool........pre or post treatment,guests love it!
|
| The basics...good quality facial steamers and hot towel
cabinet, comfortable treatment beds...equipment should be reliable and
relatively easy to use, so their benefits are maximized |
Response to: Name how spa equipment may have had a
NEGATIVE EFFECT on your client's experience:
| I have referred my clients to have Vichy shower treatments
at other day spas in town, and they have come back very negative about those
services over and over. After surveying what happen, I have determined it was
a poor service due to poor training. |
| Many guests tell horror stories about the vac/spray unit.
|
| Hydrotherapy tubs... not popular here as people can be very
squeamish about getting in a tub that's not in your own house. |
| I do not advocate the use of the vac-spray. (The
vacuum can cause capillary damage if used improperly.) |
| Vichy showers and Swiss showers. The temperature
setting and consistency is always a challenge. Not to mention guests
body temp (chilled) after the service. |
| Hydro tub has caused some problems with people trying to
get out , especially large people Also, sometimes a little overcome by heat,
etc. |
| Soft paks and Hydrotherapy tubs that are not used properly
by the tech because of lack of training from spa management and ownership.
|
| Vichy shower: poor design of unit and room, also lack of
understanding from a client perspective as well as a proprietor perspective.
|
| Equipment that is too noisy, use hands on but have
machines. too impersonal! |
| Hydrotherapy equipment that looks too clinical and does not
feel 'vacation-oriented'--has been a turn-off for some guests and
owners. |
| Endermologie- too hit or miss. |
| Steam rooms that don't work consistently. Very
frustrating for guests. |
| Swiss shower -- too weak. Scotch hose -- too weak as
well. |
| Clients state that they love all of the equipment that we
have. They can't believe that we have so much equipment and offer so
many services in our rural area. They state that these things are not
available in cities close to them (defined as a 200 mile radius). |
| I tried to save money and made the mistake of purchasing
cheap multi function facial equipment which was always breaking down.
This was very frustrating and in the long run cost more because of the
downtime, since machine was always being repaired and company did not offer a
loaner. Also was an embarrassment to me for staff and clients to see
this.
|
| Vichy shower. Difficult to regulate temperature and
keep guest warm |
| I would like to think that my clients have not had an
opportunity to have a negative experience, however the Stone Massage never
went over real big. They all went back to deep tissue or Swedish. |
| The crystal based microdermabrasion machine. It was
gritty, clogged a lot, and results were inconsistent. |
| Hydrotherapy tub, and steam room are constantly breaking
down in all properties..... and can be very disappointing to the guests.
|
| We are a therapeutic facility with very little extra
equipment, we are mostly hands on. |
| Jacuzzi Tub, Hydrotherapy tub; mostly because they do not
understand it's use, or because it is the wrong size for very large or very
small guests. |
| None really except we have chosen to not offer high
frequency because of noise issue and we can really achieve similar results
with specific products( soothing and disinfecting) |
| Galvanic. Takes to long to be profitable.
Estheticians and clients do not always feel comfortable with it. Woods
lamp... not really necessary. |
| Facial Machines: When they malfunction and are not made
well and break-down frequently cause a challenge to the esthetician as well as
the guest. |
| Steam generator - not a good steam producer - too much
water in the steam so it's too wet. |
| Electric equipment that has had technical difficulties.
|
| We have had negative input because we do not have the
micro-current equipment for facials. |
| Standard tubs many guests are too short for the standard
whirlpool tub We had to find a footrest for these people. I am not referring
to a hydrotherapy tub in this case. |
| Expensive equipment. Customers love hands on
treatments with creative combinations. |
| Vichy- because of the demographical location of my spa
(busy people + mostly cold 70% of the year). |
| Sound of the pedicure thrones and poor ventilation around
nail area. |
| Wet table that is unstable and difficult to get onto also
loud hydro tubs are not pleasing to anyone |
| Pedicure chairs due to noise. |
| Back wash bowls are not designed for the Senior population.
The chair is to low and people have a hard time putting their head back
especially if they have curvature of the spine. |
| Never have used our hydrocollators - maybe we don't know
how to use them, but they have not been used. |
| Old hydro tubs always breaking down having to tell guests
we can't provide service |
| Steamers that break and spritz on clients - negative for
obvious reasons! |
| Vichy Shower - Did not produce a feeling of relaxation as
much as the hydro does. |
| The Vichy shower in the first spa I developed never paid
for itself, so I wasn't happy about the investment, but the clients thought it
was "ok" |
| Vichy shower, delivery can be cold on first contact.
|
| Hot Oil warmers - take too long to heat up the oil. As we
use different oils to suit the guest. |
| Sound of steamer turning off |
| Hydrotherapy Tub - no perceived value. |
| A leaking Vichy shower or facial steamer because no one
likes drips! |
| Hydraulic tables have gotten stuck on us about 8 times and
outside people have had to come in to fix. |
| Broken down facial equipment |
| Hydrotherapy tub is totally underutilized |
| Without the knowledge of proper installation and usage, the
Vichy Shower is rather useless. Also hydrotherapy tubs need to be
accompanied by an active hands-on treatment protocol, otherwise their
effectiveness/value is questionable. |
