Be sure to let your chosen beauty spa know if you have special needs; for example, a spa might have someone on hand who specializes in certain manicure or massage techniques, or who has experience with the special requirements of African-American hair.
Aside from being places to get the best personalized beauty attention there is, beauty spas are also excellent sources of the very best in personal care products. Depending on the spa, you may also be able to get scented oils, aromatherapy candles, and similar products.
