Help crown the best in the following five categories:
Best Spa Software
Spa software can streamline the business side of your practice by combining online booking, appointment scheduling, client records, point of sale, inventory tracking, and marketing tools in one platform. It can also send out automated reminders and rebooking prompts, as well as hold treatment notes and service histories in order to personalize each visit and track client progress over time.
Best Spa Supply Product
Spa supply products can consist of items that keep a treatment room running smoothly, safely and professionally. This can include linens, towels, robes, headbands, disposable supplies, applicators, sanitation and disinfection products, as well as treatment room furnishings and tools for setup and cleanup.
Best Ingestible
Ingestible are wellness products that people consume and can include beauty supplements, collagen powders, probiotics, adaptogenic blends, herbal teas, and functional beverages, designed to support skin, hair, and overall wellbeing from the inside out. They can be naturally paired with professional services and give clients a way to extend the benefits of service like facials, body treatments, and massage.
Best New Product
New body and skincare products can give practitioners fresh and new ways to expand their service menus, address emerging client concerns, and keep retail offerings current. These can include cleaner and more sustainable formulations for in-treatment use, innovative actives or improved delivery systems.
Best Product for Men
Products for men are often formulated with a focus on the specific needs of male skin. These products can include cleaners, exfoliants, moisturizers, shave and post-shave care, beard and facial products or body products.
