A day spa is a business that provides a variety of services for the purpose of improving health, beauty and relaxation through personal care treatments such as massages and facials. Some spas are associated with a luxury hotel or resort where one can enjoy a day of pure relaxation and pampering. Spa treatments are the services that a spa provides and the most popular spa treatment in Zambia, by far, is massage.
In Zambia, most spas are attached to salons that offer additional services, like haircuts, colouring, styling, and makeup. Other popular spa treatments include facials and body treatments like salt glows and body wraps. Most spas have a nail salon offering spa manicures and spa pedicures. Some spas, especially hotel and resort spas, usually have signature services that might combine several different treatments: a body scrub followed by a massage and a mini-facial, for instance.
Spa treatments are presented in a spa menu that is basically a list of everything a spa offers. They are usually grouped together by the type of spa treatment, and most spas list the services by name, there are several categories you can expect to see. The two most popular massages are Swedish massage and deep tissue massage.
A Swedish massage typically covers the whole body with firm strokes but without much deep, focused work. Deep tissue massage will use firmer pressure and also include focused work on areas that are especially tight. Another massage offering on most menus is an aromatherapy massage, which uses essential oils to achieve different purposes, most commonly relaxation.
