We take extraordinary measures to limit the spread of COVID, including requiring those receiving massages, spa services, and skincare to be fully vaccinated. Please see our current offerings for details of our policies. Keep up with the fast-moving changes--sign up for our newsletter .
Vaccine Requirement
We believe that the COVID vaccine is necessary for the well-being of our staff, our guests, and society in general. Massage and spa services are only available to those completely vaccinated for COVID
To be considered completely vaccinated and eligible for massage, spa services, and skin care, you must have received either:
- two doses of Moderna
- two doses of Pfizer
- two doses of AstraZeneca,
- one dose of AstraZeneca combined with one dose of Pfizer or Moderna
- one dose of Johnson & Johnson.
You must have received your final or single dose according to your vaccination type at least 14 days prior to the service at Ten Thousand Waves. No other type of vaccine is accepted at this time
On day of your reservation you must bring with you:
- proof of vaccination indicating:
- your full name
- the date(s) of your doses
- the type of vaccine you received
- the name of the government entity or healthcare facility that provided your vaccine--cancellation fees apply if you forget
- a driver's license or government ID corresponding to the name on your vaccine documentation.
We only accept proof of vaccination. We do not accept: antibody tests, pictures of serum bottles, selfies of you receiving the vaccine, or texts/emails confirming appointment times
Cancellation fees apply if you forget. Hint: to avoid this disappointment, download your vaccination card to Folio, a super handy app that loads all your ID cards on your phone. Do it now while you're thinking about it!
