Many day spas offer manicures and pedicures.
A spa is a place for relaxation and self-care treatments that has become very popular in the last decade. There are several types of spas, including day spas, night spas, and destination spas. While all spas may offer the same type of treatment, day spas offer more options for workers looking to relax without leaving town. A destination spa, on the other hand, also offers lodging, so visitors can sleep and eat there. In recent years, medical spas have also become popular, offering treatments such as Botox® and laser resurfacing.
Many day spas have saunas.
All-day spas offer some basics like a relaxing environment, private treatment rooms, professional workers, and a variety of extras, which can include everything from slippers to tea. They generally offer all kinds of body treatments, although some specialize in certain types over others. Common services include facials, massages, manicures and pedicures, waxing and electrolysis, and aromatherapy.

Larger spas offer more advanced treatment options that may include body wraps, skin scrubs, and body scrubs. The more expensive type usually includes large facilities to house hydrotherapy treatments such as hot springs, mud baths, saunas, and steam rooms. The line between spas and salons has blurred in recent years and today many spas offer haircuts, nutritional advice, makeup application and even small gyms.

If you prefer a full experience, consider choosing a day spa that offers different types of massages, such as reflexology, hot stone massage, or acupressure. If you choose any of these services, make sure the estheticians and massage therapists are certified.
A la carte services, where the client can choose between different treatments, are the most common form of service offered by day spas, although spa packages are also popular. Prices vary widely based on location, quality, and type of treatment offered.
