Spa Cabanas, who always gets top honors in our annual “Spa Reviews” edition, is going into their 10th year of operations, and they are still going as strong as ever.
“Customer Appreciation is the focus of this year’s anniversary celebration. Our repeat customers are what makes us strong, whether that customer is from the area or travelers staying at the Guesthouse,” said Norman Lachance (owner the Spa).
Starting out with only himself taking care of the Spa, his business has become very popular and Norman now has 7 employees. As owner of the Spa, Norman has selected the services and treatments for the Spa, which are intended to focus on the client’s wellbeing and rejuvenation. Normans experience with owning and operating Spas in the Quebec area has formed the background for Spa Cabanas. His knowledge of skincare and use of products has made him well known in the Fort Lauderdale area and beyond.
The menu for Spa Cabanas includes new treatments that have been implemented for the Spa this year. The Spas skincare team is well known for their facials such as the Anti-Aging Facial and Facial Repair Treatment. They have also brought in their new Bio-Lift Facial as well as the Beard Facial for those guys with facial hair. The Bio-Lift Facial uses the NRG Machine technology to heat and cool the skin so that it reacts better to products and treatment. The Beard Facial will give a thorough check of your skin under your beard. Mani-Pedi’s are also on the menu as well as waxing and trimming. There has always been a big clientele for waxing, and with this in mind they brought in Sugaring as an alternative to waxing. Sugaring is an all-natural hair removal process that uses an all-natural Carmel made from ingredients of sugar, water and lemon juice.
