In our mobile device-obsessed culture, it often takes a trip to an island without cell phone service, or a visit to a spa that shuns cell phone use, for some people to truly unwind, unplug and recharge.

 

As people juggle demanding schedules and mounting stress, they are increasingly seeking restorative, enriching experiences and small indulgences. 

 

Spas, which boast peaceful, inviting atmospheres, and offer pampering beautifying treatments and therapeutic, wellness services have become a popular choice among time-crunched consumers. From luxurious skin treatments, manicures and pedicures, to relaxing massages, spas offer multi-tasking clients appearance-enhancing, stress-busting and wellness-boosting services.

 

The vast, widespread appeal and numerous mind-body benefits of spa services, have contributed to the industry’s growth. In fact, according to the International SPA Association (ISPA) in 2009, $12.3 billion in revenue was generated by the U.S. spa industry. And the ISPA estimates that in 2009, there were 143 million spa visits in the U.S.

 

Beauty and spa franchises and business opportunities provide you with the chance to own a rewarding business that helps people look and feel their best. Previous industry experience typically is not necessary to qualify, and with continued growth projected as consumers increasingly indulge in small luxuries, now is an ideal time to join the beauty, health and wellness sector.
