Customer Reviews

Good reference material

I am teaching a college-level course in resort/spa management and have little "hands-on" experience in spa management. This book has helped with basic spa operation information and is targeted at the potential spa owner/manager with good specific details. A little "pricey" but a good resource for the spa business.

Strategies for success

This is the perfect book for those entering the spa business and for those who would like to take their spa to the next level. The author points out pseveral pitfalls and instructs the reader how to avoid them, illustrates the importance of a business plan and offers helpful hints for success. In addition, there is well researched guidance on marketing. I would rate this book a must-have for budding spa owner and seasoned spa owners. Andre

At last a book that gets the nuts and bolts of the Spa business

Janet D'Angelo has done a great work to simplify the real nuts and bolts of what a Spa Business entails. Has saved me an enourmous amount of money and time.

Most Comprehensive Guide...

What didn't Ms. D'Angelo cover? I can't think of anything! A mass of valuable information for anyone considering the Spa business. This book will be an invaluable guide for my business for a long time. It has done the work and the research for me. With the most up to date information for todays marketplace. A comprehensive outline for bringing a vision to reality and beyond. I feel so much more confident now in where to start and how to market and promote my business and how to keep it fresh and viable into the future. I'm so grateful for this book.
