A Comprehensive Guide to Spa Etiquette at POLISHED NYC
Introduction to Spa Etiquette
Visiting a spa is a delightful way to relax and rejuvenate. At POLISHED NYC, we aim to provide a tranquil environment where guests can unwind completely. To ensure everyone has a pleasant experience, it's important to follow some basic spa etiquette guidelines. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned spa-goer, understanding these customs can enhance your experience.
In this guide, we’ll explore the essential aspects of spa etiquette at POLISHED NYC, from arrival times to tipping. Embrace these practices to make the most of your visit.

Before You Arrive
Booking Your Appointment
Booking in advance is highly recommended as it allows you to choose the best time for your schedule. While booking, inform us of any special requests or health concerns.
Arrival Time
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. This gives you ample time to check in, change into a robe, and relax before your session begins. Arriving late may result in a shortened treatment time.

During Your Visit
Communication with Your Therapist
Feel free to communicate openly with your therapist about your preferences. Whether you like a particular pressure during a massage or have an area you'd like them to focus on, letting them know can enhance your experience.
Maintaining a Quiet Atmosphere
Spas are sanctuaries of peace. Please keep your voice low, and silence your mobile devices to maintain a serene environment for all guests. This consideration helps everyone enjoy their time at the spa.

Post-Treatment Etiquette
Relaxing After Your Treatment
After your treatment, take a moment to enjoy the relaxed state you are in. Many guests like to unwind in our relaxation lounge with a cup of herbal tea.
Tipping Your Therapist
Tipping is customary in the spa industry. A standard tip is 15-20% of the treatment cost. If you had an exceptional experience, feel free to tip more generously as a token of appreciation.

Final Thoughts
Adhering to these etiquette guidelines ensures a harmonious environment for both guests and staff. POLISHED NYC strives to provide a luxurious and soothing experience, and your cooperation makes it possible. We look forward to welcoming you and hope these tips help you enjoy your visit to the fullest.
