Use of spas, complementary therapies and natural treatments has increased enormously in recent years, and the success of the industry ensures that many new consumers will try them out for the first time. But spa culture in the UK is changing, absorbing influences from Europe, the Far East and America, and creating new, innovative environments and facilities of its own.
For first-time users there are always questions regarding the culture and etiquette surrounding the use of spa facilities.
Our spa etiquette FAQ should help people to feel comfortable when considering a visit or a treatment. However, individual spas and therapists will have their own style and method - the best advice of all is to telephone before your visit and ask whatever question you wish to discuss.

More than 100 spas, hotels and accredited salons nationwide will come together for this year’s National Spa Week which aims to raise the profile of spas and all their health, relaxation and beauty benefits.
