It is with these challenges in mind that the following procedures have been implemented. 
     

    COVID-19 Guidelines & Cleanliness Commitment

    At The Spa at Rock Barn, the health and safety of our guests and staff remain our top priority.

    If you are experiencing symptoms of illness or have a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, we kindly ask that you contact us immediately and reschedule your appointment at least two weeks out. This precaution helps protect the wellbeing of all guests and team members.

    To ensure a safe and relaxing environment, we take the following measures each day:

    Morning & Evening Sanitization: The spa is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized daily and nightly, including high-touch areas such as door handles, counters, lockers, and restrooms.

    Service Area Disinfection: Treatment rooms, nail stations, and relaxation areas are disinfected after each guest, with fresh linens and sanitized equipment provided for every service.

    Laundry Protocols: All towels, robes, and linens are washed at high temperatures with medical-grade detergents after a single use.

    • Ongoing Monitoring: Staff are trained on proper hygiene and safety practices and follow strict hand-washing and sanitization protocols throughout their shifts.

  • Vaccinations - Employees and Guests

    The decision to be vaccinated is a personal choice and vaccinations are not mandated for our employees or guests. We do not ask for proof of vaccinations. 

    Service Providers

    While some of our staff have chosen to voluntarily disclose their vaccination status at the Spa, we believe this falls under the category of medical information and is kept confidential. Therefore, the Spa is not able to respond to requests from guests for a service provider who has been vaccinated. As a guest of the Spa you do have the right to ask a service provider if he or she has been vaccinated, but that service provider is under no obligation to respond.

  • Varies by season (65–80 max).
  • Waitlists available when capacity is reached.
