Spa Business Strategies: A Plan for Success (Paperback)

What didn't Ms. D'Angelo cover? I can't think of anything! A mass of valuable information for anyone considering the Spa business. This book will be an invaluable guide for my business for a long time. It has done the work and the research for me. With the most up to date information for todays marketplace. A comprehensive outline for bringing a vision to reality and beyond. I feel so much more confident now in where to start and how to market and promote my business and how to keep it fresh and viable into the future. I'm so grateful for this book.

Oxygenics TriSpa Handheld Shower, Brushed Nickel

This product does what I bought it for: increase the speed and force of low water pressure. BUT...it has a lot of room for improvement. I don't believe a word of claims it improves your health, and the ergonomics are poor: The product itself is big and unwieldy, and the smooth handle makes it near-impossible to handle when it's soapy. Also, the hose should be at least a foot longer, maybe more if you use a shower chair, as I do.

Towel Spa Towel Warmer

I was searching for a bar towel warmer for the bathroom. Came across this by chance and bought it after reviews on the towel bar speaking to slow and poor warming. Bought this from amazon/brookstone and it was delivered quickly. Smaller than I thought but easily fits a big towel. Warms them right up to a toasty warm level in 5 minutes. It has just one setting which is high power for 5 minutes and then automatically shuts off (so not wasting power or a warm towel 24/7). ready when you want without wasting power.

Personal Expressions Spa Pillow

This is a great bath pillow. Holds well when affixed-Easily moved to corner if you like to sit at an angle.Cleans up easily with a soapy cloth. Well designed and looks inviting left in the tub when not in use. If you have long hair tie your ponytail high to get more comfort. I would have given this 5 stars if it was designed with a gel construction because it would lend more to comfort but I believe this will become more pliable with frequent use.

Steam Facial By Kaz

Not a bad little machine. The sound loop for the 6 sounds is pretty good, if you listen (actually listen) to the loop, you can find where it starts repeating. The only thing I didn't like about this machine is that the lights for the on/off and timer are a bit bright! I solve this by putting a small towel over the area. Also, you have to remember to shut it off, or the batteries will wear out quickly! (I'm in Europe and can't use the AC plug.) Other than this, I would recommend it for people who want to either block out surrounding sounds (from outside mostly) or don't like to fall asleep with total quiet..
