<p>After months of practice and trial manicures, Spa Space is confident in offering Gelish No-Chip Manicures to our clients!  This service has been a very popular trend in recent years within the spa industry, and we have finally found a No-Chip system that we feel is the best of the best.  We are sure that if you have never tried a No-Chip manicure that you have many questions:</p>
<p><em>What is the difference between a No-Chip manicure and normal manicure?</em></p>
<p><em>What are the benefits?  Is there any chance that it will damage my nails?</em></p>
<p><em>How much more expensive is it?  How long does it really last?</em></p>
<p>To help answer these and many more questions, we have created a new <a href="http://www.nochipnailpolish.com">No-Chip website</a>!  We even have an <strong>introductory price</strong> for first timer No-Chip clients.  Feel free to check out the site, and if you have any further questions or feedback, email us at <a href="mailto:info@spaspace.com">info@spaspace.com</a> or call us at (312) 466-9585</p>
<p>The new No-Chip web address is: <a href="http://www.nochipnailpolish.com/">http://www.nochipnailpolish.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Spa Space Clients &amp; Spa Blog followers!</p>
<p>We thought that it might be helpful to create a list of both new and old Spa Space policies so that you are prepared for each step of your Spa Space experience, from booking the appointment to leaving gratuity for your technician.  Hopefully, this blog will serve to clarify and remind you of some of these policies, so that you feel completely informed and ready to enjoy your spa treatments!</p>
<p><a href="http://spaspaceblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/12.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-26 aligncenter" title="12" src="http://spaspaceblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/12.jpg?w=300&#038;h=187" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></a></p>
<p><strong>PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES EARLY FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT<br />
</strong>If you are new to Spa Space, we request that you plan on arriving 15 minutes earlier than your scheduled appointment time.  If you will be receiving your first Spa Space massage or facial, we have a quick intake form for you to fill out, which will allow us to customize your service based on your needs and goals.  We also invite all of our clients who will be receiving massages, facials and/or treatment packages to get comfortable by changing into a robe and sandals before their services.  Arriving 15 minutes ahead of time will ensure that you can fill out your intake form, change and store your belongings, and begin your service on time.</p>
<p><strong>ALL APPOINTMENTS MUST BE HELD WITH A CREDIT CARD NUMBER<br />
</strong>When you book your appointment, our front desk associates will ask you for a valid credit card number (and expiration date) in order to secure your appointment.  We will NOT charge your credit card for any reason, unless you do not show up for your appointment, or if you cancel less than 24-hours in advance.  We only hold this credit card information to guarantee that you understand our 24-hour cancellation policy, and that you will show up for your appointment or give us enough advance notice for cancellations and rescheduled appointments.</p>
<p><strong><strong>24-HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY<br />
</strong></strong>We do require 24 hours notice for all appointment cancellations and rescheduled appointments.  This policy is in place to protect our technicans &amp; therapists, and our business.  We are more worried about late cancellations and no shows affecting our technicians than the spa itself, but this policy is in place to protect both. <strong><em>**Please note that if you fail to cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance, you will be charged the full service price.**</em></strong></p>
<div><strong><strong><strong><strong>GRATUITIES ARE CASH ONLY</strong></strong></strong></strong></div>
<div>
<div>Please be aware before you arrive for your appointment that our gratuities are cash only.  You are welcome to pay for your services or retail products with cash or credit card, <em>but we do request that you tip your technicians in cash</em>.  We have small tip envelopes located at the front desk, and a tip drop box for your convenience.</div>
</div>
<p><strong>GIFT CERTIFICATES &amp; </strong><strong>COUPONS<br />
</strong>Our Spa Space gift certificates never expire.  The disclaimer that you will see on the bottom of each gift certificate is to suggest that you use your gift certificate within one year, however, we will honor your gift certificates regardless of when you decide to redeem them. </p>
<p>We <em>do accept</em> Spa Finder certificates, Spa Space Spa Dollars, and Excitations gift cards towards payment.  We <em>do not accept </em>Spa Week gift cards/certificates.</p>
<p>If you still have questions about any of our policies, please do not hesitate to email us at <a href="mailto:info@spaspace.com">info@spaspace.com</a> or give us a call at 312-466-9585.  Our front desk staff and management are happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.</p>
