- A $40 service added on to a 60 minute session, 4 times per week, adds $160 on to you weekly pay, $480 per month, almost $8320 more per year
Massage and Spa Add On Services that Add up to
Big Buck$
Although some add on services are specific to the type of spa, or the area in which the spa is located, these services are traditionally found in many types of spa and massage businesses.
- Hand Spa Treatment - often a hand scrub is used, sometimes essential oil, like lavender, or peppermint is used, and removed by a warm, wet towel, followed by a warm dry towel and then hand massage
- Mini-Facial - a super relaxing face treatment with massage face lotion, circular stokes, often using hot or cold massage stones, and a warm, wet towel, followed by relaxing face massage. This can be combines with facial steaming and/or facial reflexology.
- Body Scrubs - using either a sugar or brown sugar scrub, along with relaxing essential oils, the treatment involves applying the body scrub, removing it with a warm, wet towel, and followed with massage
- Hot Oil Scalp Treatment - an awesome treatment applying warm sesame oil, followed by relaxing head massage
- Lip Treatments - using a sugar scrub, lip exfoliation is a growing treatment trend in spas, and involves applying lip scrub, exfoliations, removal with warm, wet towel, and followed with gentle massage with lip balm - great for dry, chapped lips

- Sauna Treatments - because saunas cause us to sweat, they help release harmful toxins from our bodies, ease muscle pain and tensions, clear the skin, and helps us release stress - much like massage therapy, so it would make sense that they work so well together. This can be a sauna tent, it doesn't have to be a sauna room.
- Foot Spa Treatments - with an exfoliating sugar scrub, an essential oil (often peppermint), removing with a warm, wet towel, and followed by relaxing foot massage, this treatment is a very popular add-on service in a spa or massage practice. It could also be a simple foot soak in a jetted foot spa.
- Guided Meditation - with the use of a 30 minute meditation program, clients can relax and continue their session by staying on your table after the massage is over, for an add-on service that allows additional reflective healing.
- Hydrotherapy or Jacuzzi Jetted Tub - this experience certainly adds to the massage experience, and the client's ability to relax during the massage session, and with added aromatherapy from essential oils, it becomes the perfect add on service.
- Hot Stone Massage - nothing is more soothing than the feel of hot stones gliding over tired, overworked muscles, and adding hot stone therapy, even if it's just on the back, can make a huge difference in the depth of relaxation the client experiences.
- Back Facial- If your client is dealing with back acne, blemishes, or a dry, itchy back, you can offer them a back facial, reminding them of the exfoliation benefits they would enjoy. You could also explain how a facial for the back is similar to a regular facial in that you cleanse, exfoliate, mask and moisturize.
