Always an avid learner, here are some things I have learned and some general observations on going to the spa:
1. You do not want the masseuse who will be standing over you for the next hour to say "Don't mind the sniffling, I have a runny nose today"
2. You do not want to jump into the jacuzzi when the water is cold
3. You may assume that a person seated next to you with a hairy foot is a bad thing, it's not always.
4. The sauna may be hotter than Phoenix
5. People in the steam room may or may not like you
6. It is unkind for the masseuse to tell you when the massage will be over before it begins
7. If any part of the facilities don't work the way they are intended all spa rules are null and void
8. Don't drink too much water before going in for your treatment
9. Cameras should not be used in spas (that doesn't mean that can't be used)
10. Silence is appreciated
11. The shower on the mono setting is not great even if you are used to being number one.
12. Ensure tips are the proper amount
13. If asked how your trip was, make a complaint and you might earn a free visit.
14. On occasion, loud people can be quiet
15. Mondays are good quiet days for the spa
16. The misting room is not worth the effort
17. Personal hygiene products can spark conversations (so can bathrooms)
18. Look behind all screens, sometimes you can find a hidden jacuzzi
19. The wet rooms in Pasadena are smaller than the wet rooms in Florida
20. At Burke Williams there is one handicapped treatment room, I got it, go figure.
21. Cell phones should be set to silent (Never know when you might miss 16 calls from the same number)
22. The sauna is the best place in the spa to tell a joke

hmmmm, I'm thinking cameras should be used everywhere.
I am unsure how a hairy foot can be cool? Other than that, I pretty much agree with you. The bottom line in my eyes is that Burke Williams (my huband and my most favorite of spas) is the bomb, the facilities are the best and as I am typing this, I am mentally making a note to make appointments for us this weekend!
Cameras should not be used while in a spa. I don't want nudies of me on the internet!
I am impressed that you spend so much time in spas to come up with this great list!
I NEED to go to Burke Williams now!!!! I don't get the hairy foot either - please explain.
Yes, please elaborate on the hairy foot for us. I can't understand how a hairy foot is cool...was it Bigfoot?
I love #1.
Here is #23 (you know, it's a birthday thing): Don't get the massausse that just had a redbull and won't shut up.
To RuthAnne:
Birthdays in the 20's are the best!
If you were at the spa I would have used #22 to tell you about #1 and because #2 enabled #7 you could have laughed really loud and not gotten into trouble. :)
P.S. Love #23!
LOVE birthdays in the 20s :)
It is just terrible that #1 would happen. Who knew that #2 could ever happen. How great is it that #3 has sparked the most conversation and did happen. #4 hold please while I think of a response. #5 Nice. It might be because your eye make up melted.
Laughing so hard I pee'ed!
I didn't know any of yu were old enough to remember the 20's! Why would there be a hairy foot in the spa?
How funny. Jane talked about the spa too.
