NMMR - What to wear to the spa?
I've never been to a spa and have a little weekend planned this weekend. What should I actually wear when I go to get my services? I'm getting a facial, massage, mani/pedi if that makes a difference. They also have a lunch while you are there which is what I think is throwing me.
TIA!
TIA!

Re: NMMR - What to wear to the spa?
This is a new experience for me. I'm only doing it to celebrate my promotion, and cashed in my change and D Dollars that I've been saving for nothing for it. Plus my mom slipped me some money for it last time I was home. The spa is a sister property for a Gone With the Wind(my all time favorite movie) inspired B&B so I'll go to the Spa first, then check into the B&B have tea, lounge by the pool, then a friend is meeting me for dinner and drinks.
I CAN'T WAIT!
I can see this becoming a yearly thing.
They give 25% off to guests of the B&B which kind of makes it MM right? lol

That looks wonderful. You are going to love it!
I'm turning my phone off for the weekend, but will fill you all in on Monday!
Great!!!
The massage therapist will usually inform you to undress to your comfort level. As PPs mentioned, your unmassaged areas are always covered by a sheet and or a light blanket. One thing to consider is that clothing in the way of the massage therapist's hands prevents her from doing the proper technique.
So, I always remove my bra and many times the bottoms too, for example.
If you are sensitive to things, and this being your first time, you may want to check and see who your massage therapist is (male or female). Most are women, but you can occasionally see male massage therapists. And, personally, I feel most comfortable and at ease with a woman. You are well within your rights as a customer to ask for a female. Another thing spas do is have you fill out a questionaiire about which areas of your body you wish the massage therapist to focus on and which ones to avoid. If there isn't a section devoted to this, then just write it in as an additional note. FYI: Some massage therapists do the butt cheek muscles, some don't. So if you don't want any rubbing down there, just say so.
Spas typically have lockers for clients to stow their belongings that come with those little safety pin keys. Or bracelet keys.
I agree with flip-flops. I would plan on a shower and hair wash after the facial and massage...you will have massage oil on your skin and probably in your hair. So also bring whatever you will need to clean up and do makeup if you're leaving directly from the spa for dinner and drinks.
The massage will loosen toxins in your body, so you need to be sure to drink lots of water that day and the next one to properly flush your system.
Enjoy!!! Wow you are getting the full spa day and I am jealous!!! You will love it.
Generally if I'm getting a massage I wear something very comfortable - like yoga pants or something comfy. Since you are going for lunch afterwards, maybe I would wear a cotton or comfy dress.
Have fun- totally jealous!!!
I ended up wearing yoga capris and took everything else off. The facial and massage was to die for! And we had lunch in the spa, in our robes. I did take a steam afterwards then showered in a shower that had 13 heads. I can't wait to go back!
Dinner later was amazing too. There was a violinist(is that a word) and he was awesome, not annoying as some musicians at dinner can be. He played anything and everything everyone wanted to hear...the older couple was there(70ish) and he asked him to play "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and sang it to his wife. I. Almost. DIED. it was so cute!
Thanks for all the advice, this was a new experience for me and one I'm definitely glad I saved and spent the money on. Well worth it!
