Do you offer add-on services for an up charge? While it can be a great way to increase your income, some add-ons require more equipment, training, a wet room, etc. Which add-ons are going to be a good fit for your business?
Here's a breakdown of some add-on ideas:
~Requires little or no equipment
or additional training~
- dry brushing
- reflexology
- scalp massage with essential oils for hair loss, dry scalp, etc.
- sinus drainage
- aromatherapy
- 15 minute nap time post treatment / charge per minute
- timed meditation then send cd home with client
- belly massage
- pre-treatment unwind: cup of hot tea, herbal pillow on shoulders, meditation in private room
- mother earth pillows (microwave or hot towel cabi required)
- reiki
~Requires some equipment or training~
- foot soak
- hot towels on feet, hands, or face
- steam treatment
- cupping
- Facial cupping / sinus drainage
- hot/cold stones
- parafin dip
- foot or back scrub (check state laws, some require esthetician license)
- aromatherapy (specific technique like raindrop or aromatouch)
- warm bamboo
- Salt stones
~Requires the most equipment or
additional training~
- shirodhara
- bellanina facelift massage
- mother earth pillows (offer entire technique)
- table thai or barefoot ROM 15 min add-on
- belly massage (go all out and learn visceral manipulation or Mayan abdominal massage)
- infrared for pain relief
Rather than just offer stand-alone add-ons, you could combine some for specific treatments such as:
- Immunity Booster - dry brushing, lymphatic massage with onguard essential oil, facial drainage
- Sinus Relief - facial drainage/cupping, breathe essential oil, cold stone facial massage
- Weekend Warrior - deep tissue massage with table thai add on and deep blue oil/rub
Get creative! What are some awesome combos you've come up with?
