A private room set aside for the session
A collection of books and magazines
Tea or coffee

Intro

We ladies love a bit of preening, but why settle for a solo hairdressing appointment, when we can enjoy an indulgent spa day, together with friends? Well, this activity involves just that, and it’s a lovely way of introducing a bit of luxury into someone’s life.

Simply set aside a morning or afternoon and dedicate it to the ladies in the group; organising pampering procedures to fit their needs and give their pride a little boost. We like the idea of this as a group activity, but it could easily be a one-on-one service in someone’s room if that makes them more comfortable.

Top tip

Check medical records before using nail scissors, clippers or applying creams that a person may be allergic to.

The Activity

Begin by inviting 4 ladies from the group into your “spa area”
Welcome them to the room and invite them to sit in the waiting area
Give them welcome drinks and books or magazines to browse, if they’d like
Play some music in the background to create a relaxing atmosphere
Offer each lady the chance to have their hair styled, even if it’s just combed
Next, offer a gentle hand massage and manicure
Why not also offer a mini facial? Using cotton wool to cleanse their face, before face cream is gently applied
Allow each lady time to sit back, relax, and feel special
Once they’ve enjoyed all the services they chose, escort them back to their room or lounge area and invite the next person to join the group in the waiting area
