Great Day Spa Managers Are Few and Far Between: The Best Are Rising to the Top of the Industry
By ISM on Apr 14, 2008 in Spa Management
The day spa industry is one that can provide its best and brightest spa management stars with unlimited opportunities and career options.
There is literally unlimited potential for career-minded professionals to thrive within the booming spa industry. Great day spa managers can work in the most glamorous and upscale spas in such exotic locations as Hawaii, Arizona, Las Vegas, New York, Hong Kong, Paris, or even Australia. With a lot of hard work and determination, they can quickly become a senior spa director or or even a spa owner. The opportunities are limitless!
Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough truly great spa managers available today to fill these ever increasing spa industry opportunities.
The main reason for this is the lack of proper training for spa managers when they initially get into the day spa business. Without fully understanding what it takes to run a day spa successfully, it’s difficult to become a good spa manager, let alone a great one.
Learning the tricks of the trade, while also gaining valuable experience by working hands-on with clients, is essential for any spa management position.
With the right tools, a positive attitude, and the desire to succeed, you too can become the next rising star in the wonderful world of spa management!

The spa industry together with management expertise to run them has been both challenging and exhilarating. For one, education needs to be upgraded thanks to a few of those who ventured into online education like the International Spa Management program are a sure way to achieve this result.
Ways to add-value to educating our spa managers include but is not limited to: The academic curriculum should be relevant for today’s business, liberal ways of reaching out to prospective students applicants, opening doors for information and out-of-the box ideas to be able to create not an exclusive snobbish appeal of the spa but integrate new concepts to old ones thereby increasing sustainability, spa managers should always be driven by a passionate desire to make a difference in the well-being of their client’s lives, make healing accessible and affordable (?) to everyone or almost everyone (if at all possible) at the same time add to their bottom line, we should also consider ways of creating a community of lifestyle and health enthusiasts not only with those who are in their golden years but also with those who are in their teen years or early 20’s, etc.
Great spa managers are those who really care about the business who has a visionary attitude, one who acknowledges that the spa is his/her own NOT someone else’s, even if technically, it is.
