Tips on Spa Ethics for Massage Therapists and Nail Spa Employees
Helpful tips to live by:
- Remember the golden rule: Treat people how you want them to treat you. This goes for relationships with clients, co-workers and bosses.
- Define your personal standards and stick with them: Discover your personal integrity and what lines you won’t cross. If what you’re doing doesn’t feel good in your gut, then don’t do it, even if everyone else is. This may include having a discussion with the spa owner/manager about your boundaries.
- Talk with your fellow employees: Have a conversation, not a lecture. Ask questions about policies you don’t understand or modalities you weren’t taught. Be friendly with everyone.
- Don’t be afraid to talk with the boss: This could be about clarifying something or discussing a problem you’ve noted; names of co-workers don’t have to be mentioned. Bosses wear a lot of hats and do a lot of different things at the same time, so make sure your conversations are short and private.
- If it doesn’t work, then leave with dignity: No room for temper tantrums; no walking out the door throwing things; no back stabbing. If possible, give your two week notice and leave on the last day, not before. There might even be a farewell party for you.

Client Consultation in Day Spas and Nail Salons
Tips on Effective Client Interview / Consutation:
- Make it a habit to Invite the client into your salon by shaking her hand and introducing yourself; address the client by her name if she has visited the salon before. Provide her with a chair that has a backrest and sit across her so you face each other.
- Present your client with the necessary paper work, which includes a consultation form to fill and provide her with a pen. Sit with her and assist her whenever necessary.
- Go through a client file where you will record all the treatment you give her in the future and any information she gives you.
- Ask questions on your client's lifestyle, schedule, personal style and personal preferences. Ask open questions that begin with "how," "what," "why," "where," "which" and "who" to enable you to learn as much as you can from the client.
- Listen to your client attentively, maintain eye contact throughout the consultation and clarify the information given if not clear. Note any information that will help you choose a treatment for her.
- Perform the necessary treatments and explain to the client what happens at every treatment. Advise her on how to style her hair or take care of her nails and skin while at home. Alternatively, book an appointment where she will come in for the treatment.
- Recommend products she will use at home and offer her an appointment where you will assess her progress.

FREE Lesson: Tips on Starting a Massage-Spa Center and Nail Salon
Tips on Starting a Spa Business:
- Before anything else, write a sound and carefully devised business plan for a spa or have it written by some expert if you cannot do it yourself.
- Decide on a good name for your spa; a good name can do wonders for any business.
- Make a thorough initial market research before opening a day spa as it will give you an idea of what to do and how to do it the best way.
- Next, decide on the services that you will offer in your spa, giving description will help you get more clients if they know what services and treatments are being given.
- Find a perfect location where you can start a spa; it should be a place where lots of people notice it or pass it; it can also be at some remote location for more relaxation and away from stress but for that you need heavy advertising to promote it.
- Describe your services in detail in pamphlet, brochure or website as it can help get more clients and make you a more responsible and committed business enterprise.
- Get a license for opening a spa; this is the most important step to take once you make up your mind to step in this business.
- Get the interior of the spa done splendidly as it affects the customers a lot; a nicely and tastefully decorated spa can have a very good impression.
- Decide on the kind of equipment you need and how much you need to start the spa; make sure to get good quality equipment or lease it for better results.

Tips on Nail Care:
Filing Nails:
File finger nails and toe when the white part of the nail tip has grown 1/4" from the pink part of the nail. Filing nails before the nail is 1//4" long can weaken the nail. Allowing the nail to grow to a length longer than the base pink nail length will be sure to make them break easily. Nail filing from side to side would weaken the nails. When filing, go from the corner to the center in one direction. Follow the groove on the side of your nail.
Buffing Nails:
Buffing the nails can give them a shinier finish. Start at the cuticle and work your way down to the tip with medium pressure. Don't use a back and forth movement as heat builds up and this can damage your nails. Continue lightly until all ridges on the nail surface have disappeared.
Clean Nails:
Always be sure that nails are clean and dry, free of any oil or lotion, before applying polish. Remove any old polish from nails.
Base Coat:
Use a Base Coat and let it dry for at least 1 minute. The Base Coat helps to keep nail polish from chipping and makes polish last longer.
Drying Time:
Allow your polish to dry thoroughly for several minutes before you apply the next coat. This will avoid the new coat from dragging on the surface of the previous coat and allow the next layer adhere better. Darker shades take longer to dry. Avoid fast drying polish. It does not last as long.
Top Coat:
After your nail polish has dried, apply a clear Top Coat to seal it. Continue to apply the Top Coat daily to keep nails looking fresher longer.
Finally, remove with a nail polish remover that contains hydrating oils.

Base Coat:
Use a Base Coat and let it dry for at least 1 minute. The Base Coat helps to keep nail polish from chipping and makes polish last longer.
Applying Polish:
Then apply two coats of polish. You should be able to cover the nail in three stokes, one on each side and then one in the middle.Drying Time:
Allow your polish to dry thoroughly for several minutes before you apply the next coat. This will avoid the new coat from dragging on the surface of the previous coat and allow the next layer adhere better. Darker shades take longer to dry. Avoid fast drying polish. It does not last as long.

Massage for Obesity
There are physiological considerations when treating obese persons. Large people are often in constant, chronic pain; their joints ache, their muscles are fatigued. They are used to ignoring their body and its pain - they want to fit in, be 'normal' and often under-report discomfort because they don't know its O.K. to say that they are in pain. They are strong and have normal flexibility but may have trouble reaching their full range-of-motion (ROM) unassisted. Large people benefit from mobility work for their joints and muscles.
Many obese people suffer from sleep apnea, asthma and other breathing problems. Many of them are unable to lay on their back or belly for extended periods of time. If you can't breathe - you can't relax!
The benefits of massage for the obese include: reducing chronic pain, inflammation and swelling; improving mobility and circulation. Massage can help increase the amount of exercise you're getting by helping your body recover from exercise faster. It can reduce physical and emotional stress and improve sleep.

Self Massage of the Feet
Self Massage of the Feet
1. Put one hand on the top of your foot and the other under the sole. Stroke smoothly from your toes to your ankles. Glide your hands back to your toes and repeat.
2. Support your foot with one hand and work on each toe individually. Squeeze each toe firmly, and gently stretch with a gentle pull.
3. With one thumb on top of the other, do a line of firm pressures down the center of the sole and lines on either side. Then, with one thumb, do circular pressures on the arch and ball.
4. Support your foot with one hand and make the other into a loose fist. Do knuckling movements all over the sole by rippling your fingers around in small circular movements.
5. Still holding your foot with one hand, hack the sole with your other hand. Flick your hand away the moment you touch the foot, so that the effect is light and springy.
6. Stroke around the ankle with your fingertips, as you stroke up toward the leg and gently as you glide back. Finish by stroking the foot as you did at the beginning.

Online / Long Distance Learning in Massage Therapy
There are many different types of strokes that can be used when giving a massage. Some of them are gentle finger tip touches and they work all they way down the line to a deep tissue massage. These strokes can vary in their speed and pressure and using a combination of them can make for the most effective massage. To be effective, it is important to remember to be rhythmic in your movements and gradually build up speed and pressure as you go along. Here are a few more tips to mastering this skill.
Basic Pointers
1. A rule of thumb when giving a massage is to start with strokes going in the direction of the heart. These strokes should be firm and then the pressure should let up on the return stroke.
2. Depending on the goals of the massage you are giving, the intensity of the strokes is going to be very different. The goal of some people is to relax, while others need massage to simulate or loosen muscles. Some are also given to stimulate blood flow.
3. The person receiving the massage should not feel like there is a herky, jerky type of routine going on. They should feel the strokes as one rhythmic, fluid series.
The best massage position is one that uses your entire body. Many people think they have to rely strictly on their arms and shoulders to do the work. You want to use the movement of your entire body to get behind the strokes and do your best work.
