Spas in Milton Keynes

Choosing a spa in Milton Keynes

Check that treatments are carried out by qualified therapists holding recognised qualifications such as VTCT or NVQ Level 3 in beauty therapy, and that the venue holds public liability insurance. Reputable spas are often members of trade bodies such as the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (BABTAC) or UK Spa Association, which set standards for hygiene and practice. Where spas offer pools, saunas or steam rooms, water treatment and plant should meet guidance from the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG), and any advanced skin treatments may fall under Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration or local authority licensing.

Booking and preparing for your visit

Confirm exactly what a package includes, such as treatment time, use of thermal facilities, robe and towel hire, and whether food is provided. Tell the therapist about any health conditions, allergies, pregnancy or recent surgery during the consultation, as some treatments may need to be adapted or avoided. Ask about the cancellation policy and arrival time, since many spas request you arrive early to complete a consultation form and make use of the facilities before your treatment begins.
