What to wear in a SPA and What are the rules?

Everyone going to a SPA center wonders what they will wear and also the rules of SPA centers which sometimes can create a kind of tension for the guests.

First, there is no reason to feel tense inside a SPA center. You can relax at the first step into the SPA center by the help of music and peaceful atmosphere inside.

In many of the SPA centers, all customers are given towels, loincloths, bathing-gown and slippers.

Customers can get into a Turkish bath and sauna with clothes like a swimming suit but these kinds of tight clothes that can affect the blood flow on the body are not recommended during a massage.

SPA rules are so simple and they are actually aiming at relaxing all customers. It is recommended to come to the appointments fifteen minutes earlier so that you will have a chance to have a shower and get ready for the therapy and also you will have a full-time massage session.

A really important point is to share detailed information about the problematical body parts of yours before the massage. This information is necessary in order not to give a wrong massage application on your body.

Besides all of these above, it is a compulsory rule to leave your cell phones in the locker room to get a complete relaxation and rest after you get a SPA session.

For further information, details and rules, it is possible to contact with the staff in charge either by going to the SPA center or calling them.
