About SpasRated
SpasRated is part of the Rated Network, a family of independent consumer-information sites operated by Aurum Transfers Ltd. SpasRated publishes warm, plain-language cost and how-to guides on spa, massage, and wellness services for US consumers -- the first-timer worried about tipping and what a treatment menu actually means, and the regular comparing price and provider quality before booking.
Why we exist
Spa pricing is rarely a single number. A treatment menu lists a base service, but the real total shifts with add-ons and upgrades (aromatherapy, hot stones, extended time), with whether you pay a single-visit rate, a monthly membership rate, or a bundled package, and with gratuity norms layered on top. Day-spa relaxation services and medically supervised medical-spa procedures sit on entirely different price ladders.
So readers arrive with concrete questions: Is this menu price before or after gratuity? Does a membership actually pay off for how often I go? What do the upgrades really add? Why does a peel cost so much more at a medical spa? We answer those in plain language, with the source named.
How we research
- We ground figures in named, reputable sources -- industry bodies, government statistics, and established cost-data providers -- and we cite them in the guide itself.
- We use ranges, not false precision, because real prices vary by location, provider, and scope. We say so every time.
- We review and update guides as prices and best practices change.
How we stay independent
SpasRated is free to read because it is supported by advertising and, on some pages, affiliate links. Those commercial relationships never determine our editorial conclusions or rankings. We do not sell favorable coverage, and an advertiser cannot pay to change what a guide says. Where a link may earn us a commission, we disclose it -- see our Terms & Disclosures.
