Kid’s nightmare party.

So my daughter wants a day spa party. Being I work to much guilt comes into play and I organise one..

Ten 12 year old girls come very excited for their first facial …..

Please read letter sent to owner..


Big question should they refund my money


· I rang and spoke to one of your staff members on Thursday to make sure she was aware that there was a change in the amount of girls attending and that everything would run smoothly and that she had enough staff.

· There was no introduction for the birthday girl nor was she made to feel special during this experience.

· We arrived at 9.55am to find only 1 staff member was there who was stressed because the other lady was running late and continued to tell me about how this staff member was always late and that she had to do everything.

· The other staff member arrived and the 2 ladies then rushed to put out food.

· I had to request for some music to be put on.

· 1 staff member then started on nails while the other lady did feet.

· Once the feet where done the lady then painted the chocolate facial on their faces four at a time then went back and got the girls to wipe the chocolate facial off with only 2 flannels.

· At this point we could see there was a reaction, however, the young lady just dismissed us. She continued until I asked her to stop and look at the girls. She then said she forgot to put a cream on afterwards. She then proceeded to put the cream on and then continued to apply the chocolate facial to more girls.

· The reaction started by 10.45am and all our time from then on was spent putting cold towels on the girl’s faces for the rest of the party.

Oh my god!! That is horrible!! How unprofessional-there really is no excuse for what you all went through....and I can imagine it would have been a fairly expensive outing-you definitely have to get your money back!! I bet you needed a stiff drink after that!!

Wow I can't believe how unprofessional they dealt with the party........how unprepared they were. Honestly I think it is a great birthday idea to take a group of girls to a day spa. They (the day spa) obviously didn't take it seriously and disrespected the girls as worth while customers. You should definitely get your money back. What a disaster.

Have the Day Spa people made contact with you to inquire into the health and well being of the girls after their ordeal. Have they made any offer of compensation?

As far as skin care goes, if they were using a manifactured product that hadn't been used on young skin before, I think that is pretty un professional. it wouldn't take much to either has tested it prior to the party, Or designed the facial products for the day by using the basics from the kitchen eg; honey, oats, crushed almonds, coconut oil, avocado.... with Tween Day spa parties becoming more and more popular you just would think that they'd use all that fantastic shin care knowledge and studies that they did to be able to provide an elite service. Do it right and there would be big $$$ in that for all the recommendations...but aparently this company missed the boat on that...

I'm glad you got some money back, but what they did was very unprofessional and disrespectful towards the girls. It shouldn't matter what age they were, everyone entering a day spa should be treated equally. And, really, they should have given all the money back. SHAME on them. x
