Well, maybe we have no proof that Cleopatra visited a salon for massage and facial treatments. And maybe she didn't even have spa robes and slippers. But there is evidence that spas, baths, and massages existed many, many years ago. In fact, 2,500 years ago the Greek philosophers were using hot springs to treat physical problems. Later, 2,300 years ago, the Romans developed steam rooms and oil massages.
Even though throughout the history of the human race water was used to relax and heal, it wasn't until about 500 years ago that modern science and medicine recognized this fact. Now, by the 21st century, spas are a popular option for many persons seeking relaxation, cosmetic benefits, regeneration, and the prevention or even cure of both emotional and physical illness. So the service you provide your customers has a long history, and is deeply rooted in the background of the pharaohs and philosophers.
When you greet your customers, and you provide them with spa robes and slippers, headbands, and even disposable underwear, you are part of a long and proud tradition of baths, oil massages, and healing.
Interestingly, though, the baths, oil massages, and healing took a giant step backwards in the 1600's and into the 1700's, when they actually felt that the water would harm the bather. Shower wraps, slippers, and spa kimono robes did not yet exist.
But things took a turn for the better. By the mid-1800's, when the pioneers were crossing the country in covered wagons, modern medicine had recognized the germ theory. People were bathing once a week, even though it was in a tin tub in the kitchen.
And now we've gone from the tin tub to the incredible services offered in modern resorts, hotels, saunas and spas. Customers receive facials and special treatments, and you, the spa owner or manager, provide the necessary items to truly enjoy this modern service. You provide garments, kimono robes, slippers, masks, and underwear which can be used at the salon and then disposed of.
