Our Policies and Frequently Asked questions
All Sales are Final and Non-Refundable.
When should I arrive?
For your enhanced comfort and relaxation, we suggest that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled treatment. You will need to complete a short intake form if you haven't filled one out in the last year, as per Texas Massage Regulations.
Is there a minimum Age?
Guests must be at least 18 years of age to experience certain treatments. The spa is available to clients less than 18 years of age when accompanied by a guardian and with written consent. Please call if you have questions about treatments for minors, and we'll be happy to make every accommodation possible.
Parking?
Free Parking is available immediately in front of the building. Please call for instructions regarding parking behind the building when there are no spaces available on Main St, such as during Fall Fest or Parade Days.
What if I am late for my appointment?
While we will make every reasonable effort to maintain your scheduled treatment time, arriving late may limit the time available for your appointment. If you are late, we will make every effort to provide your full service time, but if your therapist has another appointment scheduled to begin when yours ends, your treatment will end at the originally scheduled time so the next guest will not be delayed in beginning their service. We do not offer discounts in these scenarios. We all experience delays and have things come up from time to time, and we'll always make every reasonable effort to accommodate your schedule where we can, but we strive not to do this at the expense of any other guest's experience. Please provide as much notice as possible if it looks like you may be late for your appointment, and we'll do our best to accommodate your every need.
What is the cancellation policy?
We do not overbook. The time we schedule is reserved for you with an allowance for the employee to recover and prepare for the next client. All cancellations must be received at least 24 hours prior to the service time or a $35.00 per service fee may be incurred. The full price of your service will be charged if you fail to notify us of cancellation and we cannot rebook your scheduled time as a "No Call, No Show Fee." In addition, you will be required to make a 50% deposit on your appointment for your next visit. Please let us know as soon as possible to give other guests an opportunity to fill your appointment time.
Considerations
This is a place of tranquility and relaxation. Please respect the quiet and privacy of other spa guests by silencing your cell phones, pagers and moving about the Spa quietly. The use of cameras is not allowed in the Spa without the express consent of the Spa Director.
This is your time to relax and we do not have child care or the facilities for children to play or move about in the Spa. Please make arrangements for your children and help us preserve the spa environment for all of our guests. This is your time! However, if it is necessary that your child accompany you, please help them be considerate of our other guests and clients by keeping them with you at all times, seated, quiet and occupied.
Gratuities
Gratuities are not included in the price of any service. Our staff are employees with regular hourly wages, employer paid taxes, benefits and schedules. Our employees appreciate your recognition of exceptional service! Gift Certificates are not valid for Gratuities unless specifically approved and designated at the time of purchase.

Clients booking multiple services may request storage for clothing and personal items. A robe, or spa gown, and spa sandals will be provided. During spa treatments such as massage, sauna, skin and body services, it is recommended that you remove clothing to suit your comfort level. We will be happy to provide spa wraps for hydrotherapy services, facials, or you may choose to wear a bathing suit or your own bottom underwear. Our therapists are professionally trained and will ensure a level of decorum by appropriately draping areas of your body that are not a focus of the treatment. We encourage you to communicate your expectations and comfort level to our staff.
If you have health concerns, or are pregnant, please be sure to advise us when booking your appointment. Some of our services are not available to clients with uncontrolled high blood pressure, pregnancy or other contraindications. Our concierge desk can offer assistance and guide you to services that will be the most beneficial and those that should be avoided due to physical limitations or sensitivity.
We employ both Male and Female staff members for many services. Please let us know if you have a gender preference. Our staff are professionally trained and are dedicated to providing the highest standard of service, privacy and consideration for your comfort level as part of any spa treatment.
