CURVY KATE

This month’s findings reflect the dedication of spa directors and managers to delivering exceptional services to clients. 78% saw an improvement in treatment business while 62% saw an improvement in sales, highlighting the continuing demand for spa and wellness experiences.

Clients seem to have picked up on the industry’s skincare buzzwords, with 74% of respondents reporting clients showing an interest in treatments involving hyaluronic acid, and retinoids (48%) and collagen (31%) are also popular.

While adoption of artificial intelligence to enhance spa businesses was relatively low – especially when compared to beauty businesses – spa directors excelled in measuring client satisfaction.
