Day spa
Appearance
A day spa is a business establishment that 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 resort setting with accommodation facilities where visitors reside for a day or more.
