FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

POLLING PERIODS

Our polling and voting periods are fairly flexible depending on the region, area, and many variables (including weather). Ideally, our nominations for Best Spas are typically collected between January and July; our votes are collected thereafter (generally for 90 days), and our Secret Spa Reviews are generally conducted during this same period, and after polls and voting closes. Awards are posted throughout the year at the conclusion of the nomination, vetting, voting, and reviewing process for each city.

NOMINATIONS

Nominations for Best Spa Awards are collected via online surveys and newsletter polls during our open polling periods (stated on each open polling form).  Voting is then compiled by calculating reader submissions during open voting periods, followed by our vetting process, and finally, by in-person visits to the top scoring spas  by our Spa Index Secret Spa Reviewers.

VOTING

Once a spa has been nominated in the Best Of category, polls are sent to our subscriber email list, secret spa reviewers panel, resource and industry experts email list, and, posted on our website.

In order to avoid unnaturally inflated or “promoted” voting results, spas are never notified when secret spa reviewers have been assigned and will visit, and generally not notified when voting begins.

We prefer our voting results be based on industry reputation, organically collected reader votes, and secret spa reviewer impressions, rather than expert or aggressive marketing on the part of spa owners.  That said, many spas owners become aware of our nominating and voting polls once they begin.  While we do not encourage spas to aggressively market, we do not prevent them from requesting their clients and customers vote during an open poll, and they are not disqualified if they do so except under extreme circumstances (promising any form of incentive for voting, for instance).

AWARDS

Awards are based on a combination of votes received from our readers and panel experts, with additional and the most weight given to reviews by our Secret Spa Reviewers.  Ties are broken by Secret Spa Reviewers, who visit each of the top nominated spas at least once, and often twice, during a  polling and voting period.

Best Spa Winners are notified of their standing via email, Social Media, and occasionally by U.S. Mail.    An article is written for our website, with the comments by our Secret Spa Reviewers.  The results are blogged on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and via email to our subscriber base.

Spas are given a badge for their own websites on request, but of course they are not required to display it.  Framed Certificates are also offered for display in the spa, upon request.

SECRET SPA REVIEWERS

Secret Spa Reviewers do not reveal their association with SpaIndex.com, nor do they receive complimentary services or other incentives from any nominated spas in exchange for positive reviews.  Spa Index Secret Spa Reviewers are fully reimbursed by SpaIndex.com for the cost of spa services after reviews are submitted and accepted.

The identity of Secret Spa Reviewers is kept anonymous for our vetting and reviews process, and during fact-checking.   Reviewers are not permitted to reveal their identities to the spas or reveal a schedule, agenda, or pending review in any public forum or on social media.

MEMBERSHIP

Nominated Spas are never required to be members of or listed on SpaIndex.com Guide to Spas.     In fact, nominations and winners are frequently a combination of reader favorite spas who are not members of our spa directory, and those which are.

    Eager for 2022-2023 awards to see if my recommendations made it!

  2. Brenda P says:

    I would like to nominate a spa in Texas for Top Medspa in Texas / South Texas.

    • Spa Index says:

      Thank you Brenda! Our nomination submission forms are posted for each City/State on a schedule. We collect nominations and votes on specific polls for those cities, rather than on this Menu Page. Our 2020-2021 results have been delayed due to Covid Restrictions, while we await many spas to reopen. We will post the poll results as soon as the majority of the winning spas (and day spas in general) have fully reopened. While we don’t currently have an Open / Pending Poll in Texas (those polls have already closed), we’ll be sure to let you know when we do for 2022.

  3. Debbie Veach says:

    Understand why you delayed for 2020 — but looking forward to see if my Mother’s spa won again! :)

  4. Dell Trip says:
