being new to spa treatments, i found this book to be very informative, easy to understand and answered most questions that came to mind about popular spa therapies. i have it available in my office and have suggested all my therapist buy a copy. it also offers great ideas on planning & scheduling body treatment packages.

What a desillusion.... At that price the book should at least have color photos!
The quality of the printed material, to me, rates a 2.5.
The rest a 4. Average a 3 star.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated & Basic, September 23, 2005

This review is from: SalonOvations' Day Spa Techniques (S Advanced Techniques) (Hardcover)

I found this book to be full of extremely outdated, basic information. Certainly not worth the price I paid. There was no useful information about what's going on in the spa industry today or in the last several years. Do not waste your money.
