Can I Bring My Kids to the Spa?

​When planning your visit to the spa, one of the greatest concerns for most people is whether you can come with your children to the spa. The truth is, there is no definite answer to this question as it will e determined by the spa you will be visiting. To be on the safe side, it is important to contact the spa before confirming your appointment so that you can know their restrictions when it comes to kids.
As your children get older, you will discover that they will be more welcome in most spas. However, this will depend on the spa treatment they are allowed to get. For instance, most kids can go for manicure and pedicure as the treatments are not sensitive. However, if you are going for a massage, it is likely that the spa management will not allow kids into the treatment room as they may not understand what is going on.
Young Kids
If your child is very young, you will find that most spas will not allow them into the spa as they will get in your way when relaxing. The surrounding at the spa may also not be right as younger kids love to be in places where they can run around and should as much as they want. The best option is to hire a baby sitter or take your kids to a Kids Club or Teens Club if there is one around.
Most spas are family-friendly and will try all they can to accommodate the children as well. However, they will also care about other clients at the spa as the young ones can easily disrupt their treatment. If you must bring your child to the spa, look for a spa that offers services such as manicure, pedicure, or hair-do to kids. This way, they will be kept busy for the entire time you will be getting your treatment.
Teens
Most spas will accommodate teens but the minimum age they can allow varies. A spa will allow your teen to have a manicure, pedicure or a hair-do but will be more age restrictive when it comes to massage or facials. As a parent, you will need to give your consent before your teens can have a massage or a facial where you will sign a consent form. For other spas, you will be required to stay in the room as your teen gets his massage.
Though a spa may allow your young ones to accompany you when getting your treatment, it is important to think about the kids’ comfort as well. If your child is not at an age where he can sit still and relax when you are in for your treatment, the best option will be to look for a baby sitter or a relative to take care of them at home. This way, you will be able to concentrate on your treatment without worrying what your child is doing, whether he is hungry or worrying about his safety. Your time at the spa should be focused on you and not worrying about what is happening to your family.
