​Do you prefer using a massage chair for your massages or getting the services of a massage therapist? Or maybe you’ve never had a massage and are undecided on the best option for you? Well, you are not alone in this!
Though a massage chair cannot work in the same way as a massage therapist in certain instances, there are instances when both will offer almost similar relief. The following is a comparison between the two to help you choose the best option for you:
The Touch
The greatest difference between a massage chair and a massage therapist is the touch impact during a massage. No machine-operated device can understand your musculoskeletal system and make the right judgment on the best massage at any time.
Just like normal cuddling, human massage aids in the release of the feel-good hormones that aids in stress relief. A chair massage will not have this benefit and though you’ll get some level of relief, it will not be on the same level as human massage.
Customized Massage
Before your massage session begins, the massage therapist will ask if you have any preference regarding the massage. Based on his assessment too, he will be in a position to know what will work best for you.
Though there are customizable massage chairs that allow you to choose your preferred program and how you want the massage, it is not on the same level as human massage.
Convenience
When it comes to convenience, the massage chair takes the win. For most massage spas, you’ll need to make your reservation in advance. If the spa is fully booked at that time, you’ll be asked to make your reservation for a later date.
With massage chairs, however, you will be able to have your massage any time you want. If you want to have it in the middle of the night, early morning before going to work or during your lunch break, there will be no restrictions.
Cost
The cost of getting a professional massage is lower compared to the initial cost of buying a massage chair.  However, if you consider long-term costs, chair massage gets cheaper as you’ll no longer have to spend money to get a massage. All you will do is to connect your massage chair, adjust the settings, and get your massage.
For professional human massage, you’ll need to spend money every time you want to get a good massage. The cost will depend on your location, choice of spa, and the length of the massage.
Control
When using a massage chair, you’ll be in charge of deciding the right massage technique and the duration of your massage. On the other hand, when you go to the spa, it is the massage therapist who will be in control of the massage process. You can choose to take a nap as he works on your body and still gets the full benefits of massage.
Privacy
Most of the people who prefer chair massage do so for fear that professional massage will expose their body flaws to strangers. They are not comfortable with having a complete stranger have his way in their bodies. The truth is, there is no point during professional spa massage when your body will be exposed. You will have a drape over your body and as the massage therapist works on your body, he will expose the part he is massaging.
When using a massage chair, you will enjoy your privacy as there will be nobody else in your room. The fact, however, is that no massage chair can offer the same relief as that professional touch of a massage therapist.

Are you struggling with getting the right schedule for your massage? Well, a lot of people are in the same dilemma. You do not know whether you’ll have your massage in the morning hours, afternoon or in the evening.
The truth is, there is no right or wrong time to have a massage. You can choose to have your massage at a time that is most convenient for you based on your availability and that of the massage therapist. However, several factors can determine what time is good for you to have a massage:
Your Lifestyle
If yours is an active lifestyle, you should schedule your massage on your resting days. For instance, if you are a sports personality, getting a good massage when you are not performing is the best option. The only time you can have a massage on your active days is when your trainer schedules a sports massage.
If you are moderately active or you are a sedentary person, the massage therapist will help you to choose the best schedule for your massage. The massage therapist will also advise you on the adjustments you need to make that will make the massage more beneficial.
Your Availability
To get maximum benefits from your massage, schedule your massage when you are less busy. For instance, you can go for your massage in the morning before reporting to work, during your lunch break or in the evening, whichever works for you. Alternatively, you can wait for the weekend so that you can enjoy your pampering without any rush or inconveniences.
To avoid long waits at the spa, you can schedule your appointment at 4 pm when you’ll have had enough time to digest the food you had taken for lunch. You will have enough time to get massaged and go back home to take dinner with your family.
Another benefit of going for a massage at 4 pm is that most people are still at the office and you won’t have to struggle with crazy traffic or long lines at the spa. If you can, do not wait until everyone is on the road struggling to fulfill the obligations of the day before going home.
Most people will schedule their massage from 6 pm and if you can get a chance before this time, you will have an easier time. Most therapists are not busy at 4 pm which makes it an appropriate time for you.
Having said this, everyone is different and what will work for others may not work for you. If you have a different timing that works for you, go for it! What is important is getting the most from your massage. if you are not sure what works best for you, you can schedule your appointments at different times of the day. From these appointments, settle for the time that works best for you.
The massage therapist can also help you in choosing an appropriate time for your massage if you ask him. A time when he is less busy and will be able to give you undivided attention is the best.

​Though electric facials will result to immense benefits to the facial skin, there are conditions that would make it unsafe to have the treatment. Some of these are:

• Facial oedema: this is a condition that is characterized by the buildup of fluids in the facial tissues and also around the neck region.
• Psychotic conditions: A person who is not in the right frame of mind should not undergo an electric facial.
• Epilepsy: If you suffer from chronic neurological disorder, you should avoid an electric facial. If you must get on with it, medical attention should be sought.
• If you recently underwent a facial operation that is touching the areas that will undergo an electric facial, it should not be carried out. This should wait until the doctor says that the face is fully recovered and can endure the strength of electric currents.
• If you have a slipped disk; this is where a soft section of a disc develops a bulge through a connective tissue.
• If you suffer from skin cancer
• If you are experiencing pain in the facial region and you do not know the cause.
• If you are taking some medications that may react with the electric facial
• If you have a fever where the temperatures are very high, do not get on with the facial treatment.
• If you are suffering from an infectious skin disease that can easily be passed on to other people including the aesthetician.
• If you are allergic to the products that will be used in the electric facial
• A recent fracture to any of the connective tissues of the face.
• If you have a contagious eye disease that can be passed on to the aesthetician.
• Conjunctivitis: this is where the conjunctiva that provides a lining to the eyelids and the eyeballs is inflamed.
• If you are expectant, you should avoid having an electric facial as it may affect the unborn fetus.

A person who has a peacemaker implant or any other electric stimulatory device, a hearing aid, or even an electronic nerve should also avoid undergoing an electric facial.
It is also important to know all the products that will be used for the electric facial so that you would avoid those that will lead to an allergic reaction. Any professional facial therapist should be able to ask if you suffer from allergies of any kind before the facial treatment begins. He should also seek to know any complication that you may be suffering from as well as the medications that you are using for the same.
Another important consideration before the electric facial is the previous experience of the aesthetician who will be carrying out the facial. You can check out the reviews online or ask to speak to a customer who has undergone an electric facial at the spa. If he has no past experience, you should not allow the aesthetician to practice the art of electric facial through you are the outcome may not be very pleasant. It would be better to go to a spa that will charge more for their services and get a professional facial that going to a cheap spa where you will leave the spa looking worse than you came in.

​On other circumstances, falling asleep when someone else is with you is rude. But not for massage therapy! If this is your first time to get a professional massage or you’ve had massages for some time, you may be wondering if it is offensive to sleep during massage.
The truth is, sleeping when getting a massage is not only okay but it is a sign that the massage is having the desired effect.
Your Brain is Meant to Rest During Massage
When getting a professional massage, it will help in getting rid of muscle tension and making your nervous system to heal and relax. This parasympathetic phase will be beneficial for the healing and restoration of your body’s functionality.
Any time you lie down to receive a good massage, it will signal your body to enter into a relax mode so that healing can take place. This is why it is normal and necessary to sleep when getting a massage.
Sleeping During a Massage Happens All the Time
Though there are people who will stay awake for the entire duration, most of the people who go for professional massage fall asleep. A massage therapist who has been in business for years knows that it is a good sign when his client takes a nap during the massage. It is an indication that you have faith that the massage therapist will do what it takes to get you maximum benefits from your massage.
Any time you book your massage appointment, do not feel ashamed when the massage therapist wakes you up telling you to get up and dress up after the massage is over. You may have missed most of what was going on during the massage but you’ll feel the benefits long after the massage is over.
Choose to Sleep During Massage
Whenever you go for massage in a professional spa, make it your goal to take some rest. It will not only make it easier for the massage therapist to work on your body but will also make the massage more beneficial.
It is during your resting period that your body gets renewed and healing takes place. To make it even better, you can ask the massage therapist to use soothing essential oils to help you calm down. The massage therapist can also play some soothing music in the background to calm you down and get you to sleep.
Massage therapy is mainly focused on helping you to relax, overcome or reduce body pains, and enable you to sleep better, among other benefits. Being relaxed when the massage is ongoing will not only make the massage more fruitful but will also make the process easier. Instead of worrying about the next move that the massage therapist will take during the massage, take some rest. Allow yourself to get lost in the moment and enjoy the much-deserved relaxing experience.
It is important to ensure that the massage therapist is good at what he does before allowing yourself to relax and fall asleep. If this is your first time, you can stay awake at first to gauge the quality of his services and when you are convinced, you can take a rest.

​Have you been thinking of having a professional massage but your fears are holding you back? You have too many unanswered questions in your head that you need to be answered so that you get the confidence to allow a stranger to massage you? Well, you are not alone in this!
To make you at ease and help you to prepare for your first massage, here are the answers to some of the most common massage fears:
Will I Strip Naked?
This is one of the greatest fears when it comes to massage therapy. You are afraid that your body will be completely bare on the massage table. The truth is, no one is going to ask you to strip naked. The massage therapist will leave the room and ask you to undress to your level of comfort.
You can choose to remove all your clothes or leave your undergarments on which is okay. What is important to note is that your body will be covered with a linen or a towel through the massage and only the part getting massaged will be exposed.
Will I Get Hurt?
Massage does not hurt. However, there are instances when the massage therapist may apply too much pressure that you feel some pain. You should speak up in such cases and ask him to reduce the pressure. If this persists, you have a right to tell him to stop the massage and step out of the massage room so that you can dress up.
What if I Get an Erection During the Massage?
If you are a man, the gentle and relaxing touch of the massage therapist may trigger an erection. This is a normal occurrence and should in no way stand in the way of your massage therapist. Any professional therapist will overlook the erection and focus on other parts of your body to give you time to relax.
What About Passing a Fart?
When your body relaxes, there are higher chances that you will let out gas. To lower the chances of farting when getting a massage, you should avoid taking heavy meals before the massage appointment. If you must eat, take something light and reserve the heavy meal until you are done with your massage appointment.
Massage is Very Expensive
Some people are afraid of getting a professional massage fearing that they may not afford it. This does not have to be the case for you as you can choose a smaller package based on your budget. For instance, you can get your massage for 30 minutes instead of 1 hour which will cost less.
Alternatively, you can choose to get your massage when your choice spa has some ongoing offers on massage prices. You will pay less at such times and still get the same services as everyone else.
The best way to overcome your fear of massage is to take to your massage therapist. He will respond to all your concerns and fears and help you book the best type of massage. If you will be more comfortable with a specific gender of a massage therapist, you can ask for reservations on the day of your massage.

​Just like how relieved you feel after taking a glass of water, massage will make you relax and enjoy countless health benefits. Your physical, emotional and mental health is rejuvenated and all you want is to keep feeling this way.
Now, how do you make this post-massage feeling linger for longer? This guide provides great tips on how you can make that great feeling after massage therapy last longer:
1. Schedule Your Massage in the Evening
Though it is possible to have your massage in the morning or during your lunch break, the best option is to wait until you are done for the day. This way, you will have enough time to rest after your massage which will help in sustaining the benefits of massage.
You can also choose to have your massage on weekends when you are not working as you will get sufficient rest afterward. Getting into a busy schedule immediately after your massage will most likely make the tension get back almost immediately after massage.
2. Stay in a Calming Environment
After a professional massage, it will be more beneficial to stay in a calming environment. Avoid very loud noises or playing loud music and instead, play some calming music. Getting into an argument after your massage will bring back the tension the massage therapist worked so hard to get rid of.
3. Stay Hydrated
It has been said over and over that massage helps in the release of the toxins that had been trapped in your muscles. Taking a lot of water will boost the excretion of these toxins and prevent you from feeling sore a day after your massage.
4. Wear Loose Clothing
After a professional massage, your muscles may be sore and wearing tight clothing may be too uncomfortable. You should wear loose clothes when going for a massage as these will be more comfortable. If you’ll be going to the spa from the office, you can carry a change of clothes that will make you comfortable when going home from the spa.
5. Have More Me Time
Instead of going out for partying or family gatherings after a professional massage, dedicate the rest of the day to yourself. For instance, you can schedule other appointments such as manicure, pedicure or even a hairdo on the same day. The pampering will give you enough time to think about you and focus on making yourself a better person.
As you can see, how long the good feeling lasts after a professional massage depends on what you do or don’t do. Right scheduling and making a wise choice on who to associate with after that relaxing experience will make you enjoy the benefits of massage longer.
It is also important to get regular massages so that you can continue reaping the benefits of your massage. Depending on your budget and availability, you can choose a weekly, monthly or go for your massage twice a month. You will love the happiness, peace, and the absolute peace you will enjoy every time you get a professional massage.

Just like women, men also deserve a customized spa treatment. Getting regular pampering sessions is an amazing way of detoxing, cleansing your skin, and making you feel relaxed. There are various spa treatments that will put a smile on your face that you should indulge in as many times as possible. Here are some of these spa treatments:
Massage
A massage is one of the most effective ways to get rid of muscle tension, relieve pain, and prevent injuries. After spending the entire week carrying out strenuous tasks, your muscles are most likely in pain and your energy levels are at their lowest. A deep tissue massage is a great way to get rid of the tension, stress, soreness of muscles, and stress. You can also opt to get an aromatherapy massage or any other gentle massage if you feel that a deep tissue massage is too much.
Body Scrub
Exfoliating your skin aids in removing dead cells and renewing of your body. This will make your body soft to touch and with a glow that everyone you interact with will notice. If you mostly commute to the gym and back almost every day, you may have some acne on your back, neck or arm. Getting a professional scrub will help in getting rid of all the residue in your skin, making it more youthful, radiant, and to top it all, fresh!
Waxing
Are you struggling with excessive weight in your body and are looking for the best way to get rid of it? Get in touch with a waxing specialist in a spa. Whether you need waxing for your eyebrows, back region, chest or stomach among other regions, he can handle it. The process will allow you to stay for longer without having to worry about unwanted hair and this will boost your self-esteem.
If you have sensitive skin, you can go for laser hair removal which is friendlier though the cost is higher. The professionals at the spa will go out of their way to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible during the hair removal. For instance, they will apply a numbing cream before the treatment or ask you to take some pain medications to make the process less painful.
Manicure and Pedicure
You don’t have to get ashamed every time a lady takes a look at your hand when all you need is a manicure or a pedicure package. After your appointment, you will look forward to shaking the hands of your business associates, significant other or even your family. A smooth and well-manicured hand will boost your confidence and as a result, you will be more productive in your place of work.
Facial
Just like women, you can also suffer from aging effects, dry skin, oily skin or even flare-ups. It is a fact that men do not take as much time as women do to moisturize and cleanse their skin which could lead to bacteria or gunk buildup. Getting a facial will restore your outer glow and, in turn, your inner shine will manifest.

Pregnancy can make you uncomfortable to the extent that you are unable to conduct your normal duties. You will feel varying aches, pains, and constant mood swings that can make the pregnancy journey quite difficult. The increased weight and the fact that it is centered on your belly will result in a change of posture as the body tries to accommodate to the changes.
Getting a prenatal massage is one of the most effective ways of helping you to cope with the changes happening as a result of the pregnancy. A lot of spas offer pregnancy massage and choosing among them can be difficult.
Here are some amazing tips to help you get the best prenatal massage:

• Ensure that the massage therapist has adequate training and vast experience in pregnancy massage. To ensure that he is really good at it, you can check the reviews submitted by previous clients. If most of these reviews are positive, you can go for your massage with the assurance that you’ll get exceptional services.
• Talk to your therapist about any concerns, difficulties or aches: to be able to offer customized massage services, the massage therapist will ask about your medical history. He will want to know about your pains and discomforts and whether there is any particular time that the condition gets worse.

Talking about any troublesome issue in your body will help the massage therapist to know the best massage technique to handle it.

• Ensure that you are comfortable during the massage: before the start of your massage, ensure that you are lying or sitting comfortably as this is the only way you’ll enjoy your massage. If your pregnancy is in the second or third trimester, lying on your belly may not be possible. The massage therapist should help you get in a comfortable sitting position or lying on your side.
• Speak Up During the Massage: it is normal to get uncomfortable sitting or lying in one position for long while pregnant. Any time you feel the need to change your position, speak up and the massage therapist will ensure you are in a more comfortable position. You should also speak up if you feel that the pressure the massage therapist is using is too much.

The most important step towards getting the prenatal massage you deserve is choosing the right spa and the right pregnancy massage therapist. Ask whether the massage therapist has handled cases similar to yours in the past to avoid being used for experimental purposes.
You will find your pregnancy journey much easier when you get regular massages from a therapist who is really good at what he does. A person that is not only interested in helping you to get rid of any discomfort but one that will ensure that your baby is safe as well.
You can book your pregnancy massage once a month to begin with and as your pregnancy advances, go for bi-weekly massages. This way, you will be in perfect shape when the time comes to deliver.

​Have you had a rough week and you desperately want to unwind? You feel like you’ve hit rock bottom and nothing seems to give you the much-needed boost? Well, there is hope!
Having a professional oil massage is a relaxing experience that will not only help you to unwind but to also overcome various health issues. Most massage spas offer oil massage therapy which means you’ll not struggle to find a good spa near you.
Here are some amazing benefits of oil massage:

1. Better sleep cycle: if you find it hard to get to sleep when you badly need to take a rest, getting an oil massage is a great option. The soothing effect as the massage therapist works his way on your body will help you to relax and get rid of stress-related complications. As a result, your sleep cycle will improve greatly.
2. Pain Relief: pains in your body will not only make you peaceless but will also make you unable to fulfill your obligations. A simple oil massage will reduce pain intensity or completely get rid of the pain.
3. Improve your posture: After spending an entire week at the office, your muscles may have become stiff and less functional. Getting a massage will help in toning your muscles and making them more functional. Regular oil massage will also aid in reducing flab and enhancing the tone of your muscles.
4. Enhance your mood and aid in beating depression: when the various pressure points in your body are massaged, there will be a release of the feel-good hormone that will make your mood better. You will think more clearly after the massage and as a result, your performance will get better.
5. Make your skin’s health better: as the massage therapist spreads the oil over your body, your skin will become smoother. Some of the massage oils have anti-wrinkle properties which means you’ll look younger after your massage.  If you had any sunburns minimal pigmentation, the therapist will use the right massage oil to get rid of these conditions.
6. Aid in eliminating body toxins: during the massage, the toxins that had been trapped in your muscles will be released in your system after which elimination will take place. To speed up the removal of these toxins, you need to take plenty of water before and after your massage.

It is important to notify the massage therapist if you suffer from any allergies to help him in choosing the right oil for you. If you are pregnant, it is also important to notify the therapist as there are oils that can lead to preterm labor.
Do not hesitate to book your massage appointment today and ask your therapist to include your favorite massage oil. You will get numerous benefits from your massage, not only on the day of your massage but long after your massage is over. However, do not forget the most important point which is getting your massage from a qualified therapist.

Are you thinking of having a prenatal massage but you are not sure about the right time to do so? Well, this is a huge concern for many to-be mothers who understand the numerous benefits of massage.
With the multiple changes happening in your body, getting a professional massage will aid in managing your pain and giving you the mental and emotional boost you really need. The timing of your massage will play a vital role in determining your safety and that of your baby during the massage. Here are some of the factors to put in mind when determining the best time to get a pregnancy massage:
Your Doctor’s Opinion
Before you even contact your massage therapist, you need to get the consent of your physician. He knows your health condition and that of your unborn child better and this puts him in the best place to make this decision. Depending on your condition, he can either give you the go-ahead or ask you to wait a little longer.
Your Preference
After the doctor okays your going for a pregnancy massage, it is now upon you to decide when you want to go. If you are in your first trimester and are experiencing morning sickness, you can schedule your massage in the evening when you are over the morning sickness phase.
As long as the massage gets you the relief you want, you can choose to have it at your convenience.
Your Budget
A professional prenatal massage will cost money and you need to budget for it. The cost of massage varies depending on your choice of spa, your location, and how long you’ll have your massage. If you live in high-end areas, the cost of your massage will be higher compared to a person who lives in other locations.
Though you may want to spend as little as possible for your massage, do not put your life and that of your baby in danger by going to substandard spas. Ensure that the therapist is trained in pregnancy massage and that he has been providing massage services for long.
Depending on your budget, you can choose to have your massage biweekly, monthly or even after two months. What is important is getting maximum benefits from your massage every time you get one.
Your Massage Therapist’s Opinion
Depending on your physical condition, the massage therapist will help in determining the best frequency for your massage. If you have more pains or aches, the therapist may advise you to get more frequent massages. On the other hand, if your pregnancy journey is easier, you can agree to have less frequent massages to start with and then increase as time goes.
The most important point to consider when deciding the frequency of your massage is your safety. Whether you get a massage weekly, monthly or any other time, ensure that you get the right massage therapist. It will feel good to relax, sleep better, and to have a pain-free pregnancy journey which is only possible if you make the right choices.

Massage is one of the simplest, yet most confusing pleasures. With hundreds of options to choose from, it is hard to determine the type of massage that best suits your needs. Here is a guide to help you choose the best massage for you based on your needs:
Overall Health & Rejuvenation
Though all types of massage will make you feel better, there are specific massages that will greatly boost your energy levels.
Shiatsu Massage
Getting a shiatsu massage will aid in calming your sympathetic nerves, stimulate circulation, lower stress levels, and relieve pain. The massage therapist will use gentle stretches and finger pressure on your pressure points to fix any imbalances in your body’s energy flow.
If you want a form of massage where you won’t have to undress and still get maximum benefits, go for a shiatsu massage. You will experience immediate relief from headache, back pain or low energy levels once you get massaged.
Sports Massage
If you are physically active, this type of massage will be a perfect fit for you. The therapist will combine Swedish and shiatsu, among other massage techniques on the specific areas. Sports massage helps in preventing injuries, help in recovering from injuries, and enhance your performance.
Pregnancy Massage
As the name suggests, this is a massage specifically tailored for expectant mothers. The massage will help in getting rid of pregnancy-related aches and enhance the growth of the unborn child. Before booking your pregnancy massage, it is important to get the consent of your doctor.
Treatment of Pains & Other conditions
Do you feel stressed and you need something to make you relax? Or maybe you are struggling with knotted muscles, among other specific ailments? Getting a professional massage will be the perfect solution.
Deep Tissue Massage
With this type of massage, the therapist will use his knuckles and elbow to apply pressure on your deep muscles and bones. The pressure in this form of massage is best for athletes or people whose tissues are very dense.
It is important to remember that this is not a form of massage where you’ll feel good and sleep off. The pressure during the massage is intense and will make you feel sore for the next few days before you begin reaping the benefits.
You have a right to speak up if the pressure becomes too much.
Trigger Point Massage
The massage will be focused on specific parts of your body and not your entire body. The massage therapist will work on the problematic muscles using deep pressure and as a result, you’ll get rid of the pains in your body.
Massage to Help You Relax and Relieve Stress
When you feel tired and stressed, you need something that will soothe you, just like wrapping you in a warm embrace.
Swedish Massage
In this type of massage, the massage therapist will use long, sweeping strokes, kneading & rolling movement, friction, and rhythmic tapping. The massage therapist knows the perfect move he will apply on each part of your body to give you maximum benefits from the massage.
Swedish Massage
The massage specialist will use hot, smooth stones during this type of massage. You will feel as though very smooth hands are caressing you and at the same time scorching you. The heat will help in relieving any tension on your back or shoulders.
When going to the spa, you have a right to choose the perfect type of massage depending on how you feel. If you are not sure about the perfect type of massage for you, the therapist will help you in making the right choice.

​As you make plans for your family or career, most of the time you end up forgetting to take care of yourself. You are so keen on ensuring that everyone else is okay and in doing this, you end up not having time for yourself. This results in stress buildup and if you don’t find ways to get rid of the stress, it could result in more health complications.
Some therapists or life coaches will go to any length to convince you that working for fewer hours or avoiding tense situations is the only way to get rid of stress. However, with the increasing responsibilities, it is almost impossible to reduce the amount of time you spend working and the stress that is associated with it.
Massage therapy is one of the most effective ways of melting your stress away without the need to relocate, give up your career or forsake your family obligations. Here are some of the reasons why massage therapy will get rid of your stress:
1. Stress Touches More than Your Mind
When you are stressed up, it will affect all parts of your body. Your muscles will become stiff and you may feel some pain in some parts of your body. You may also experience headache, tiredness, stomach upset, and insomnia. When you get a relaxing full body massage, every part of your body affected by the stress will undergo an almost total transformation.

​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.

​In your life as a parent, brother, sister, employer, employee, husband or wife, it is normal to go through a situation that stresses you. It gets to a point where you feel like forsaking everything else and go to a secluded place. The truth is, running away will not get rid of your problems! You will get the situation as it was or even worse when you come back.

A couples massage is one of the best ways to help you in overcoming your fears about massage therapy. Though it sounds like it is meant for people in a romantic relationship, you can go with a friend, a colleague or a family member for a couples massage. All you need to ensure is that you go to the spa with a person you will be comfortable having around when getting a massage.
Here are Some Amazing Tips on How You Can Get the Best from a Couples Massage
Inform Your Partner About the Massage Appointment
Though you may want to surprise your partner by not telling him about the massage in advance, it is not advisable. You need to inform your partner about the massage and if he has not had a massage before, explain to him what the massage is about.
If you have plans to engage in other fun activities on the day of your massage such as hiking, horse riding or other sporting activities, do them before the massage. The massage will offer relief from the strenuous activities of the day and make it possible for you to have better sleep.
Take a Shower Before Your Massage
A massage is an intimate affair where the massage therapist will be in direct contact with your body. It is important for both of you to take a shower prior to the massage. You will be more comfortable lying on the massage table of your body is clean compared to a person that will not have a bath before the massage. If you had no time to take a shower after leaving the office, you can use the spa facilities to fix yourselves before going in for your appointment.
Avoid Taking Heavy Meals Before the Massage
To avoid getting too uncomfortable during your massage, it is advisable to avoid taking heavy meals before the massage. If you must eat, take something light, get your massage and then look for a place you can have a good meal afterward.
Avoid Alcohol Before Your Massage
If you have plans to enjoy a bottle of your favorite drink on the day of your massage, save it until after the massage. This will allow the massage therapist to have an easier time during the massage and will also allow you to enjoy your massage more.
Forget About All Your Problems
Your massage time is not a platform for discussing your marital issues if you are with your significant other. It is also not the time for settling your family scores but a time to reconnect without any distractions. You can choose to leave your mobile devices in a place where they will not bother you during the massage. If you cannot afford to switch it off, put it on silent mode and when you are finished with your massage, you can check on your missed notifications.
Let Relaxation be Your Main Agenda
The main reason you are getting a massage is to help you relax and forget all you’ve been through in the recent past. You can make this moment more special by choosing to quietly enjoy your massage. If there is a need to hold a discussion, you can save it for later as you enjoy your drink after the massage. However, if you choose to be in constant communication during the massage, it must be an agreement between you. It would be embarrassing if one of you wants to enjoy some peace and quiet while the other just want to remain quiet as he enjoys the moment.
For a better experience at the massage spa, agree on whether you will be talking during the massage or not before getting into the massage room.
Speak Up if the Pressure is too Much
During your couples massage, you may feel that the massage therapist is using too much pressure on you. It is your right to have the best treatment and you should, therefore, speak up and tell him what you want. If there is a particular spot you need a massage, do not be afraid to say so. Remember this is your day and you have paid to get the best services.
Though you are at the spa for a couples massage, your massage needs may be different. One of you may need a deep tissue massage and the other person needs some gentle massage. Do not fear to let the massage therapist know what you want. If the massage is not giving you the relaxation you anticipated, speak up and tell the massage therapist what you want from your massage.
Massage therapy is all about relaxation, a time to unwind, get back your self-confidence, and recover from any burnouts. This is why you need to make the most of it by having the treatment you will enjoy. Most of all, you need to choose a massage spa where you will be massaged by trained massage therapists who have vast experience in massage. You need a place where the massage oils that will be used on you are of the highest quality and where high standards of hygiene are observed. You don’t want to lie on a linen that was used by the client who came in for a massage before you.
The cost of a professional couples massage may be more but the treatment you will get is out of this world. You will not only enjoy each other’s company but you will have a renewed energy to handle the responsibilities that await you after your massage.

Though there are multiple methods of hair removal such as shaving, waxing, and tweezing, among others, most people are searching for long-term hair removal methods. They want a method that will minimize the need for repeat hair removal procedures.
Laser hair removal and electrolysis are the most popular hair removal methods whose results near permanent. The procedure involves the damage of hair follicles beneath the skin surface and when this happens, the hair will take long before growing back again.
Here is a comparison between laser hair removal and electrolysis to help you settle on the best hair removal method for your unwanted hair:
Overview
Electrolysis involves the use of electric currents to damage the hair follicles below the skin’s surface. The technician carrying out the process will use ultra-thin needles which he’ll direct towards the hair follicles, and then direct electric currents towards the targeted hair follicles. This hair removal method is mostly carried out by dermatologists and will result in permanent hair removal.
Laser hair removal involves the use of laser to destroy the hair follicles and from this, you’ll be able to stay for longer without unwanted hair. Though people consider this as a permanent hair removal method, it does not permanently get rid of the hair. After some time, some hair will grow back thinner and lighter and you’ll need to go back to the spa for a touch-up. There are some people, however, that will be able to completely get rid of their unwanted body hair through the laser process.
Pros and Cons
Both laser hair removal and electrolysis have numerous advantages which make people prefer one over the other.
Laser Hair Removal Pros

• When having laser hair removal, the laser beams take milliseconds and this makes it possible to remove multiple hairs at once. This makes the process quite fast and if the area is not extensive, you’ll be out of the spa in a few minutes.
• The hair that grows back after laser hair removal is lighter and sparser which makes it almost impossible to notice. With this, the repeat process will be easier and take less time compared to previous sessions.
• Laser hair removal is more efficient and within 6 sessions, you’ll notice a huge improvement
• You can have laser hair removal in most professional spas
• Little or no side effects after a laser hair removal process.
• Laser hair removal is less painful compared to electrolysis and you’ll be quite comfortable during the process. You can apply a numbing cream on your skin if you have a low tolerance to pain

Cons

• Laser hair removal may not work too well depending on your skin and hair color
• The process is more expensive 
• You’ll need more than one session to get the desired results

Electrolysis Pros

• Electrolysis has been approved by the FDA as a permanent hair removal method
• You can have electrolysis hair removal regardless of your hair or skin color
• Once you go through electrolysis, you’ll not need any form of maintenance after the process
• The technician carrying out the process will not use any harsh chemicals which makes the process relatively safe
• There is no downtime after electrolysis and this makes it possible to get back to your normal schedule after the process.

Cons

• You will require several sessions before you begin to notice changes especially for extensive parts of your body such as the legs and the back region
• There is a lot of pain and discomfort associated with electrolysis hair removal and to make the process more bearable, you’ll need some pain tablets or numbing cream.
• If the needles being used during the process are not sterilized, there is a likelihood of suffering from infections after the process. This is why it is important to ensure that the aesthetician observes a high standard of hygiene during the process

Cost
Laser hair removal is more expensive compared to electrolysis. For instance, if the area being treated is small, you may end up paying $45 per session for electrolysis. However, it is important to remember that you will need more sessions for electrolysis which can make the process more or equally expensive.
When having laser hair removal, you may pay between $200 and $400 per sessions which is on the higher side. This price may be higher or lower depending on your location and your choice of laser spa.
In most cases, laser hair removal and electrolysis are not covered by insurance which means you’ll cater for the costs.
Aftercare
After a laser hair removal process, you’ll need to stay off the sun for the first 24 hours to allow the skin to heal. You may also need to apply some ice packs on your skin to ease the discomfort resulting from the process. Once you complete the initial sessions, you’ll still require periodic appointments at the spa to get rid of the hair that will grow back after the process.
After electrolysis, your skin will suffer from irritations and appear reddish. This will disappear after a few hours but if it persists, you can apply some ice cubes or an over-the-counter ointment on the affected skin.
Which is Better?
Both laser hair removal and electrolysis are effective in getting rid of unwanted body hair. You’ll be able to stay for longer durations without unwanted hair and you’ll suffer from minimal or no side effects after the process.
If you are looking for the cheaper option between the two, you’ll definitely settle for electrolysis as it is more affordable. However, do not forget that you’ll need more sessions to get the results that you want which could make the process expensive.
Laser hair removal is available in most professional hair removal spas and this makes it easier to book your appointment. The process is also fast and more effective which makes it more convenient if you need guaranteed results.
If you are still unsure about the best hair removal method for you, consult your aesthetician. He will offer the best advice based on the nature of your hair and skin, your budget, and your anticipated results. It is also important to choose the spa for your hair removal wisely as this will also determine the outcome of the hair removal process. Choose a spa that has professional staff, equipped with the latest technology and one that has a history of providing excellent services to its clients.

The best thing about professional massage therapy is that you are not ‘supposed’ to do anything. You can choose not to remove your undergarments if this makes you more comfortable or some of your other clothes. Massage is all about feeling good and if anything stands in the way, the best option is to avoid it.
This said, it is important to remember that different massage techniques will require a different touch. For some, you will be okay when you have your clothes on such as sports massage or chair massage. For other types of massage like traditional Swedish massage, you will be better if you have no clothes on. Here are some of the factors that will determine your choice of having your clothes on or removing them during a professional massage session:
Style of Massage
There are multiple massage styles where you will not need to remove most of your clothes the massage such as chair massage, shiatsu massage or Thai massage. For Thai massage, you can put on a baggy t-shirt and some shorts during your massage and the massage therapist will find his way.
Chair massage is mostly carried out in corporate offices or other events and you will not need to remove most of your clothes during the massage. In most cases, you will get off your coat or jacket, and your tie during the massage.
There are some types of massage like the traditional Swedish massage or a relaxation massage that will be best if you are completely naked. For others like sports massage, orthopedic massage or neurokinetic massage, you will need some clothes on during the massage. This is because they involve a lot of movement or stretching during the massage. The massage therapist will ask you to have your sports bra and sports short on during the massage.
When you are getting an aromatherapy massage, it is important to remember that it involves the application of oil. Leaving some of your clothes on means that some of the oil will find its way to your clothes. If you don’t have a problem with walking home with your clothes drenched in oil, you can have them on during the massage. Alternatively, you can carry a change of undergarments so that you can change into clean ones after your massage. If this is still not good for you, you can remove all your clothes. The massage therapist will ensure that your body remains covered except for the part of the body he is working on.
Area the Massage Therapist is Working on
If you will be having a full body massage, it would be more convenient if you are completely naked. Leaving your bra on if you are a woman will get in the way of full back strokes which will make the massage less comfortable for the massage therapist.
Level of Comfort
If you are going for a professional massage for the first time, you may not be comfortable if you are completely naked during massage. In such instances, the massage therapist will ask you to undress to the level you are most comfortable in and then get under the sheet.
Most women prefer to have their pants on during the massage and some will leave the bra on as well. If this is what will allow you to remain comfortable during your massage, the massage therapist will still find his way around your body during the massage. What is important to remember is that during the entire massage, the only part of your body that will be exposed is the part that the massage therapist will be working on. Your private areas will remain covered throughout the massage and this means your decency will remain intact.
If you have been getting professional massages for some time, you already know what a professional massage is about and will not have any problem getting completely naked. Just like your doctor, a massage therapist is a professional and will only concentrate on your reason for visiting the spa, which is getting a professional massage.
It is important to get a professional massage spa where you will get a trained and experienced massage therapist. Here, you will get a therapist who will make you comfortable during your massage and with time, you will have developed enough confidence to get completely naked during your massage. You will be assured that nothing will go wrong whether you are completely naked or you have your undies on.
Most men prefer to have their boxers on during the massage which will be embarrassing. A professional massage therapist has been trained how to handle such instances and you should, therefore, not feel embarrassed if it happens. He will either move to another part of your body to give you time to recover or change the massage technique.
The massage therapist has handled similar cases in the past and will know the best way to make you more comfortable when it happens. If you choose to keep your boxers on, your hamstrings may not get massaged.
Important Points to Remember
A professional massage is always carried out with draping, which could either be a towel or linen. The main reason for this is to create the right boundary between you and the massage therapist. Your modesty and privacy will remain intact during the massage as no part of your body will be unnecessarily exposed. The draping will also help to keep you warm throughout the massage session as your temperature will keep changing throughout the massage session.
As long as the massage therapist is a professional and has your best interests at heart, you don’t have any reason to be afraid when going for a massage. Should anything go wrong and you feel that the massage therapist is going against your need for privacy and decency, you have a right to stop the massage. You will ask the massage therapist to leave the room so that you can dress up and prepare to leave the massage room. If it was on the extreme, you can choose to report the issue to the spa management.
