What are the differences between a massage in a spa and a massage in a salon in Romania?

Lately, more and more day spas have started to appear in Romania as well. They were born in response to the needs of busy people who need a place to go to unwind and relax deeply and quickly. However, Day Spas are often confused with beauty salons, although there are so many differences between them. What is a SPA? In the traditional sense, it is synonymous with health and beauty, which includes water treatments. In a broad sense - these are a lesson in healthy selfishness, which allows you to stop and taste life in slow motion even on a normal day of the week. Here are the main differences between a spa and a salon:

Atmoshere

A soft towel, the phone left silent, the aroma of essential oils and exotic chopsticks, relaxing music and candlelight transport us to the "universe of relaxation". In a traditional beauty salon, or at least most of them, there are no places to lie down after treatments, just enjoying a tea, enjoying time for yourself. In a spa you will find such a space, and the atmosphere will entice you to stay a few more moments to prolong a little more the state of deep relaxation acquired during the massage. The atmosphere of the spa is provided for relaxation. Once inside a spa, the wonderful design is combined with soothing music and exotic flavors to enhance your mood as soon as you enter. When we come to a beauty salon we are more focused on the effect, on the result. There is not so much emphasis on relaxation and the atmosphere in the salon does not help in this regard. At SPA we come to relax, to disconnect, to recharge with positive energy and a good mood. Relaxation for body and soul!

Facilities

The differences start when you get to the salon which is usually much smaller than a spa. In a spa there are private therapy rooms, which have a special design, with attention to detail to create a relaxing atmosphere. The facilities of a spa are diverse, they can consist of sauna, hammam, couple rooms for massages for two. In today's world, we often miss each other and don't have time for each other. A couple massage, in a specially designed room for couples, with adjoining beds is a great idea to celebrate a special occasion or simply to have a special evening or a weekend in the city. The way the spaces are designed in a spa, the employees prepared to offer guests a holistic experience, from the way they are received in the center, the completion of the guest card at the first visit, in which are recorded those details that help therapists understand the history medical and each person's preferences, aromatherapy, music specially chosen to quickly induce relaxation, rooms with a special design and diffused light, all contribute to achieving a general well-being.

The Massages:

Massage in a spa is truly sensational. First of all, the main goal is to bring a deep state of relaxation and inner peace. The massage menu of a spa is also amazing, you can choose from relaxing massages, therapeutic massages or spa rituals, each of which are super-specialized in bringing certain benefits on the state of health. Each massage is performed according to a very well defined protocol, each step having a certain role that leads to obtaining the desired results. That is why in a spa the guest does not dictate the steps of the therapy, but only specifies what he wants to obtain, the therapist being the one who will establish the most suitable massage for his needs. . In our case, all the massage protocols we have at Lotus Spa are developed by Daniela Dumitru, international consultant and international trainer, certified by Budha Bar Spa. In addition to massage, all protocols have inserted certain steps that bring extra comfort, relaxation and relaxation, working with warm towels and aromatherapy. In a salon there is not such a wide variety of massages, in general you can choose a relaxing massage or an anti-cellulite massage, and these are performed by the masseur according to his own protocol, there is no standardized protocol to be followed by all therapists..

The therapits:

In general, a spa uses only fully trained and experienced massage therapists. Each therapist has a significant number of training and practice hours, certifications in various types of massage, certified by in-depth massage trainings performed in the spa. Also, each therapist who starts working in a spa receives specific training for the assimilation of internal work protocols.
