Become a Spa Owner

Open Your Own Day Spa

As a spa owner you could own a business that gives you fabulous personal and financial rewards every day.

About a Career as a Spa Owner

You could have the freedom and creativity that comes with being your own boss. You could have the satisfaction of owning a business that helps people experience more happiness, health, and well-being. You could earn a profit and take home up to $100,000 or more per year. You could even enjoy your own spa's services whenever you want!

The word “spa” comes from the Latin expression for health by water. While water treatments (also known as hydrotherapy) are offered by many spas, you could also choose to offer a wide variety of other services in your spa business including:

Massages
Hair styling
Manicures and pedicures
Makeup application
Facials and skin treatments
Hair removal
Full body treatments (such as scrubs or wraps)

Clients may stay at the spa for anywhere from an hour to several days. Spas that complete their services in a few hours (for a facial or massage) or a single day are known as day spas, while spas that operate in conjunction with stay-over or hotel facilities are known as destination or resort spas.

By starting your own spa business, you will be joining a growing industry that generates over $11 billion per year in revenue. According to the most recent statistics from the International Spa Association, there were approximately 136 million spa visits made in the U.S. last year, with 60% of those visits to a day spa.
