Late

Call management and the team members you will be working with if you are going to be late for your schedule service.  We want to be able to tell the guest that you are on your way.  It is very important to be prepared and ready for your appointment, guests should not wait.  As a professional, you represent Solace Day Spa and tardiness for guests reflects poorly on us as a team.  We want to communicate to our guests that they are important, and their time is important.  Service providers are required to be in the spa at least 30 – 45 minutes prior to your first appointment.

Communicate if you are leaving the spa and when you will return.  If you are involved in a group appointment, absolutely do not leave without thoroughly communicating with the other service providers.
