Steam Wonder Steam Canopy

[Billieann]

I was wondering if anybody has ever used this before. I'm intrested in purchasing one, but would like to know other people's opinion/experience with it. Thanks.

I used one a couple times while working for a spa.

Overall I don't remember thinking anything bad about it.

One thing I do remember is that, It was large and hard to manuver by yourself.

The only comment I've heard is from my former boss who used to have one and she loved it. She had it attached to a pulley on her ceiling so when not in use it would just suspend above her table near the ceiling. Kind of like floating artwork!

I used one during Spa training. I LOVE it... only wish it wasn't so expensive.

Thanks so much for your response. I came across a used one that's been used less than 10 times. There selling it for half price (which I still think is kind of alot) and was wondering if it's worth the purchase. The only reviews I could fine where on their website (so of course it's a little biased), and I just wanted to see what everybody else's experience with it was like. Anyway, thanks again for all your help!!! Have a great day!! aimelie

Hmmm... got me to thinking....

You think you could paint clouds on the underside of it, so that it really was more artsy, while hanging in the air?

I know we have a few artists on the site and I am curious to know if the steam generated would completely negate such an effort, or if steaming up some sort of special paint, would negate the effort, or would it be do-able and still safe for the client?????!!!

Let me know!

Of course, I don't have one yet, but knowledge for the peanut gallery is always a good thing! :mrgreen:

Bump!!

I know there are a few more people on the board who now have one. Please comment!! How is it working in your practice?? Is it profitable? Is there a lot of interest?

I just added the steamy wonder to my spa menu (it's only been a few weeks). There is a huge amount of interest in both the steam itself and all of the spa packages that can be offered with it. As a therapist, I am in love with it. The steam canopy makes spa treatments so easy and there is not a huge mess. I am not sure how profitable it will be, but I can tell you that I have been talking it up for months now to generate more of an interest. Also, I have completely revamped my menu to include most of the spa treatments that come in the steamy wonder treatment manual. The only problem clients have mentioned is that all the treatments sound so yummy they don't know where to start.

I am offering a complimentary steam session to every client who purchases a 60 or 90 minute massage between now and December 31 and I have created Holiday Packages that include steamy wonder treatments. So, I hope that it will pay for itself soon. It it does, I intend to buy another one so we can do two treatments at once.

I have seen this and wondered....
Has anyone had a problem with drips?...Hot drips on the client?

Just asking,

I wouldnt think hot drips would be a problem due to the nature of steam and how these things are built.

The steam will condense, when this happens the steam has cooled down. Therefore, drips would not be hot. Plus, as these things are domed, when the water condenses on the inside of the canopy, I imagine it would run down the sides of the canopy and not drip on the client.
