Client Satisfaction is always our priority! 

Open the door for our guests. Help with kids by offering them cookies and a paper & pen to draw with. Do little things to make our guests happy. Our goal is to provide our clients with the utmost experience. Remember we want to be the most cherished part of their day. 

Do little things to create a warm and personal client experience. If they like a certain chocolate we carry, give them some for on-the-go. Remember details about them by putting them on the notes and using this information when they arrive. 

ALWAYS SMILE there will be difficult clients however we don’t know what the guest is going through in their personal life. It is best to smile and try to rectify any situation. 

Keep in mind we are not here to just provide a spa service, we want to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience to each guest at our spa.
