Be Sure to Ask
Before purchasing your spa gifts, be sure to ask about any special promotions, holiday discounts or winter packages. Also, find out about new signature treatments. If you buy a spa package, be sure to ask if the spa is flexible about exchanging therapies, for instance a salon service instead of a massage. At Veda Spas in Colorado, gift packages entitle the bearer to choose any procedures they want toward the total amount of the package. And thinking of the holidays, be sure to add spa specials to your Wish List.
