Local Clubs: Your Go‑To Spa & Wellness Hub in Dubai

Welcome to the Local Clubs section of Blue Star Arabic Spa. Whether you’re new to Dubai’s spa scene or a regular, this page gathers the most‑asked questions and real‑world advice you need to feel confident and relaxed. From what to wear for a Vichy shower to how much to tip for a $100 massage, we’ve got you covered.

Everyday Spa Etiquette Made Simple

Most people wonder if they have to strip completely for a massage. The short answer: you’ll be covered with a sheet, and you only remove clothing when the therapist asks. If you’re uncomfortable, speak up—your comfort is the top priority. Want to know if a male therapist can work with a female client? It’s perfectly fine as long as both parties agree on boundaries and the spa follows professional standards.

Another common question is about clothing for specific treatments. Men should wear loose shorts or swimwear for a full‑body massage in Dubai; women can opt for a modest robe or a one‑piece swimsuit for a Moroccan bath. If you’re heading to a Vichy shower, a swimsuit or light robe works best, keeping you comfortable while the water jets do their magic.

Money Talk: Tipping, Pricing, and Value

How much should you tip for a $100 massage? In Dubai, 10‑15 % of the service cost is standard, but you can adjust based on the therapist’s skill and the level of service. If you’re booking a 90‑minute session, a $20 tip is generally appreciated, though a $15‑$25 range is safe. For a quick 30‑minute foot massage, a $5‑$7 tip shows gratitude without breaking the bank.

Speaking of pricing, our guides also explain when it’s wise to skip a foot massage—say, if you have an open wound or severe circulation issues. Knowing the red‑flag conditions helps you avoid discomfort and keeps the spa experience safe.

Beyond etiquette and money, we dive into niche topics like lymphatic drainage, sauna safety, and even whether it’s okay to kiss your child in public in Dubai. Each article is written in plain language, so you can get straight answers without wading through jargon.

Curious about whether you should wash your hair during your period? The myth’s busted—clean hair is fine, and most spas provide fresh towels anyway. Wondering if you need to shave before a hammam? A quick rinse is enough; heavy shaving can irritate the skin under the steam.

Our collection also includes practical how‑to guides: “What to Wear for a Vichy Shower,” “Hot Tub Etiquette,” and “Cold Shower After Sauna.” These quick reads give you step‑by‑step tips you can apply the next time you book a session.
