Our Environment
Please observe quiet and stillness while in the spa.  To ensure comfort for all clients smoking and the use of cameras, cell phones, beepers and pagers is prohibited. We ask that you turn all devices to silent mode or off when arriving.

Appointments Policy
To ensure optimum satisfaction for our guests, we recommend you arrive 15 minutes prior to your first appointment. This will allow you to become familiar with the facility and prepare for your journey to a higher level of health, peace and beauty. If you are late for your appointment, your service(s) may have to be shortened or rescheduled. We ask that you provide a credit card number when booking your treatments. Walk-ins are also welcome.

When booking an appointment, all clients will be asked to leave a credit card number to reserve their appointment. In the event, a client needs to cancel the appointment, she/he must do so at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled service. Failure to do so will result in an automatic charge of 50% of the cost of the service cancelled. “No-shows” will receive full charge to their credit card for the reserved services.

Any parties of 4 or more will be subject to a $50 non-refundable deposit.  All spa parties of 4 or more are subject to a 72 hour change/cancellation policy.  Failure to change or cancel any appointments 72 hours prior to arrival  will result in an automatic charge of 50% of the services cancelled minus the $50 deposit.

Client’s Right to Know
At The Spa of Essex we strive to exceed our clients needs. We believe that advising our clients of the products best suited for them is as essential as the service we perform. Therefore, our client’s right to know policy advises each client on the products and techniques best suited for the client to maximize the benefits of their service. While we will make every effort to meet your requests, we cannot guarantee a specific therapist or gender. All therapists are trained in both treatment and draping protocols to ensure your comfort at all times.
