guide to standards, laws, diplomas and software

Your project is well-formed in your mind but not on paper? Relax! The administrative side becomes much easier with Wellness Consulting. Whether you're a financial director or an entrepreneur, we bring all our expertise to help with:

  • Mandatory safety standards

    Displaying recommendations for saunas, hammams, and any other spa facilities. Apply safety standards to your own operations.

  • Accessibility standards

    It is necessary to ensure an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. This involves the provision of access ramps for people with reduced mobility, doors wide enough for wheelchairs to pass through, as well as adapted toilets. Equipment and treatment rooms must also be accessible, with height-adjustable tables and sufficient space for movement. Often classified ERP 5 (Establishment open to the public with fewer than 300 people), spa staff must be trained to welcome and serve customers with disabilities to ensure a comfortable and safe experience.

  • Diplomas, certifications, and state-recognized training

    Opening an institute doesn’t require a diploma, but your staff must be qualified in beauty or spa therapy.

  • Hygiene standards

    Water hygiene, waste management, disinfection, ventilation... all subjects of high importance and defined by local regulations. In France, certain establishments must also follow procedures supervised by the ARS, as we detail below.

  • Official regulations and required formalities before opening your spa

    Several declarations are necessary. In France: with the town hall of your municipality. Then, with the ARS (regional health agency). Whether you are planning a thermal spa, a thalassotherapy spa or a classic day spa, the use of hot water above 30°C must be declared and verified with the health authorities. The Ministry of Health imposes compulsory display, water sampling and the use of specific products.

  • What legal status is required to open a spa?

    1. Open a spa as a sole proprietorship EI

  • Management and scheduling software

    These tools are essential for optimizing spa operations. They allow appointments to be managed efficiently, providing an overview of employee schedules and available treatment rooms. This software also facilitates client management, with personalized files containing information on preferences, treatments provided, and even loyalty programs. In addition, they often integrate invoicing, product inventory management, and performance monitoring functionalities. By automating these tasks, spa management software helps to improve operations and provide a more fluid and personalized customer experience.
