Introduction

Visiting a luxury spa like Serenity Spas in F11 Markaz should be relaxing, not confusing! Many first-time clients in Pakistan aren’t sure what to expect. This guide answers all your questions – from modesty concerns to tipping etiquette – so you can enjoy your massage or facial with confidence.

 

Before Your Visit

1. Booking Your Appointment

✅ Do:

  • Book 24+ hours in advance (especially weekends)
  • Specify therapist gender preferences if any
  • Ask about current promotions (e.g., “Serenity Spas’ Monsoon Relaxation Package”)

❌ Don’t:

  • Assume walk-in availability (unlike Western spas)
  • Book last-minute evening slots (peak hours fill fast)

Pro Tip: At Serenity Spas, WhatsApp bookings (+923000377729) get instant confirmation.

What to Wear & Bring

For Ladies:

  • Hijabi-friendly option: Request a female therapist and private room
  • Clothing: Most prefer shalwar kameez; gowns provided
  • Footwear: Remove at entrance (bring anti-slip socks if preferred)

For Gentlemen:

  • Shorts/T-shirt acceptable
  • Avoid strong cologne (interferes with aromatherapy)
