In a small salon, reception, a foot massage chair and the entrance to the treatment room sometimes share one space. In a larger spa, clients move between several rooms. Music should suit that layout: create a calm setting from the start, leave room for conversation and accompany rest after the treatment.
This guide helps you plan its presence in each space. For individual services, use the specialist articles linked below.
Reception can already be part of the treatment
A guest confirms their booking, puts their belongings aside and receives some tea. Sometimes they then sit in a chair where a foot bath or foot massage begins. Calm music therefore belongs at reception from the first few minutes. Its character can stay close to what guests hear later in the treatment room.
Conversation at the desk should feel easy. If a client speaks quietly, a member of staff should be able to reply just as quietly. Set the volume with people sitting nearer the loudspeaker in mind, especially if treatments are already taking place in the same part of the salon.
