The hottest new spa trend are spa experiences for Generation
Y -those age 5 to 20. And the 'Kid Capital of the World' in
Orlando Florida is the place to be to jump on the offerings.
The Ritz Carlton Spa, Orlando Grand Lakes has a menu of
services for kids and teens called 'Adventures and
Treatments'. This menu includes:
- The Ritz Kids Cleansing Facial
- The Ritz Teen Facial
- A Facial Fit for a Princess
- The Ritz Kids Massage
- Fizzing Manicure
- Fizzing Pedicure
Nickelodeon has a Kids Spa and offers the 'My First'
series:
- My First Manicure
- My First Pedicure
- My First Facial
- My First Massage
Another spa on top of the future market of the youth is
Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst North Carolina. Their kid
friendly services include:
- -A 20 minute back and shoulder massage
- The Twinkle Toes Pedicure
- The Fancy Fingers Manicure
These aren't for girls only. Boys can do a Teen Tune-Up
in a fitness training session with introductions to lifting
weights, cardiovascular care, and other basic workouts.
Parents must accompany their children (when under 16) in
treatment rooms.
Home parties and day spa events are ways for the young
ones to access the spa experience without traveling to
destination spas. Having a 'Princess Party' for young girls
(as young as 5 years old) that include up-dos, glitter, and
jewels can groom them for fancier and more expensive
services in the future.
Is this too much too soon? Some worry that this is
putting too much early emphasize on looks rather than
performance. So balance it out with a rock climbing
experience. Building strength and beauty together are
healthy lessons.
Many spa owners and operators don't see this as an
opportunity to recruit a new spa client as much as an
educational opportunity to make a difference in a young
life. Acne in teens can be treated with specific skin
products and a lot of education on the care of the skin.
Relaxation services that help reduce anxiety can be
reflected in the skin.
Another educational focus is the dangers of sun exposure
on young skin. Children receive between 50% and 80% of their
lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18.
Some ideas for spa fun at home include avocado masks on
the face, oatmeal baths, make-up experimentation, dress-up,
tea parties, and temporary tattoo fun too!
