A day spa is a business establishment which people visit for professionally administered personal care treatments such as massages and facials. It is similar to a beauty salon in that it is only visited for the duration of the treatment. Day spas sited in airport terminals are often called airport spas, which also offer services for hair and nails. In contrast, a destination spa offers the same services in a hotel setting where people reside for a day or more.
- facials — facial cleansing with a variety of products
- massage
- waxing — the removal of body hair with hot wax
- body treatments such as body wraps, aromatherapy, salt scrubs, etc.
- manicures and pedicures
History
The term "day spa" was coined back in the 1980s by Catherine Atzen, upon her entry from France to the United States. There is some challenge, from Burke Williams of San Francisco, who also claims to have coined the term.[citation needed] The first airport spa was created on November 17, 2000 at Newark Liberty International Airport Terminal C located in Newark, New Jersey, USA.
