Choosing the Right Background Music for your Spa: It Enhances the Client Experience
By ISM on May 23, 2008 in Spa Management
A visit to the spa should be a full-sensory experience that provides the client with a relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere that will transport them to another place physically, emotionally, and spiritually. One of the most overlooked aspects of the full-sensory spa experience is sound. Sound and music can be powerful healers, so providing the right sounds for your clients to enjoy while at the spa can make their spa experience more enjoyable than without it.
You should choose music that allows the mind to drift off, soothes the soul, and relaxes the muscles as the massage therapist works her magic. While everyone has their own personal tastes, your background music should transport your clients spiritually rather than distract them with lyrics, heavy beats, commercials, or the surrounding sounds of the spa.
The best background music is actually the type that might go unnoticed, but allows the clients to enter a trance-like state. Consider classical, new age, Celtic, Asian, or other instrumentals. Stay away from vocals or music with a strong beat. Songs should flow from one to the next without noticeable breaks, so invest in a multi-change CD player or subscribe to a satellite radio system.
