5.0 out of 5 stars A Priceless Resource, March 26, 2000
By A Customer
Day Spa Operations has been the most comprehensive guide to day spa start-up that I have encountered. I am in the process of starting a day spa and I can't imagine attempting this task without this valuable resource. It is a must read for anyone attempting a day spa start up, or just wanting to improve their current business. Having a copy of Day Spa Operations is like having your own personal day spa consultant. I will defintely check out other books in the SalonOvations series on the strength of this title by Erica Miller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book, March 14, 2002
By Ashley Dixon (North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
This is an amazingly informative book if you are even thinking of starting a large upscale day spa or a very small day spa. Everything you need to know about everything is in this book. I would highly recommend this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good basic info but didn't realise it was so outdated., April 6, 2008
Book is outdated (not even written in the 21st century so some of the information may not even apply to now). Also, would have been better if it had colour pictures instead of black and white. But there is some useful information that is timeless.
