Day spas began to pop up in the United States in 1980’s. Spas offered very limited and basic services, Swedish Massage and a classic European Facial were usual suspects on nearly every spa menu. Over the past 30 years the industry has grown. The expansion of the industry has brought with it, innovation that is specific to the spa industry. There have also been some many major innovations in technology that transcend any one specific industry. The advent of the Internet and computerized technology has paved the way for the spa industry to grow and change in ways that no one could have ever imaged.
