You need at least 2 quality massuses. Lots of Candles. Good products. Soothing music...
and, hell, a beer and wine license wouldn't hurt. CHampagne and pedicures are my friends.

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Spa Business Strategies: A Plan for Success by Janet M. D'Angelo
* SalonOvations' Day Spa Operations (S Business Series) by Erica Miller
* Start Your Own Hair Salon and Day Spa by Eileen Figure Sandlin
* 101 Media and Marketing Tips for Salon Owners, Stylists and Managers by Nanette Miner
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Remeber to make the place look comfartable and homy. More people would come. Some spas have a tanning bed, pedicures and manicures and even a hairdressing clinic. Remeber not to put soo many tthings in it, try to do things that you're good at. Good luck.

You will need someone like...a masseuse...an acupuncturist...someone that can do body wraps, peppermint wraps, mud baths, or stone massages. Someone to do manicures and pedicures.
