u003cemu003eSuzy: Our industry takes the safety of our guests very seriously and we have always followed cosmetology and massage regulations which already had high standards for sanitation and disinfection. u003c/emu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cemu003eWe’ve upped our game with more sanitation and new social distancing procedures. Many spas are using spaces that they may not have before to provide a safe distance for you to relax. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAdditional measures include wearing masks when in service and when we cannot be six feet apart from each other. We have staffed up to ensure that we personally hand you items such as teas and refreshments as self-service is no longer considered sanitary. u003c/emu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cemu003eThe treatment team has prepared by participating in additional safety u003c/emu003eandu003cemu003e comfort training. Prior to the beginning of a service, you may be asked to wash your hands or put on hand sanitizer. u003c/emu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cemu003eIn a facial room, you may get a peek of your technician wearing a face shield so that she is protected from the steam unit. If they do not have face shields, they may choose to use a U-shape plexiglass barrier so it can tuck under your head. Either way, you will feel safe. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe skincare protocols haven’t changed very much, it’s really only the new personal protective equipment that has brought us all a safer approach for our guests and team members. u003c/emu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cemu003eYou may also see more air filtration in the treatment rooms as some spas have chosen to purchase self-standing Hepa units to purify the air in the treatment rooms. u003c/emu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cemu003eThe payment of your service is moving to touchless systems. Be prepared for a longer prep time prior to your arrival as the spas have to ensure that you are not symptomatic. u003c/emu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMassages are still the most popular and beneficial services in the u003cemu003espa and you will be asked to wear your mask when you are lying face up. u003c/emu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cemu003eWhen you are face down, many spas have figured out how to make you comfortable with the creative use of a pillowcase made into a balloon so you can breathe easily without a mask on. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs time moves on,  so will the virus, but what thankfully will stay will be the spas and healers that make the experience a heartfelt one for our traveling guests.u003c/emu003e
