Sedona's Day Spa & Float Tanks

11/19/2025

🌵 IMPORTANT SEDONA’S ANNOUNCEMENT — PLEASE READ 🌵

As a business owner, I’m learning that I need to keep clients in the loop, accept accountability, correct errors I allowed to continue for too long, and make sure clients are receiving the level of service Sedona’s is known for — while also making sure my staff and I are cared for, because we are the working class too.

With that said, I know the booking situation has been more than troublesome the last 60 days. As the business scaled, things were thrown at me fast, and I was problem-solving in real time. There comes a point where you have to admit the flow is not working anymore.

As much as I’ve loved seeing Sedona’s grow, I was also watching what I worked so hard to build begin to lose its heartbeat. Long-time clients who have been with me for years could not get appointments. Sales flooded the system with new clients. Miscommunication increased. Booking errors increased. Pricing models were inaccurate.

All of these factors led to a very large and immediate change — because I am not willing to let the core of Sedona’s be damaged.

This will always be the spa the clients built. Even though I am the “boss,” it is all of you who put food on my table.

Your feedback, your honesty, and your opinions DO matter. They are heard. And they WILL shape policy and procedures moving forward. No text, no review, no voicemail, and no conversation was ignored. This has been a tough month, and I had to make decisions that were not easy — and honestly heartbreaking — but necessary to protect the reputation and standards I built this business on.

Effective tonight, with no delay — NOVEMBER 18, 2025

✨ 1. Staff Changes

Sedona’s has intentionally reduced staff to ensure more personalized, high-quality visits. A smaller, stronger team is now in effect.

✨ 2. Spa Hours

9:30 AM – 7:00 PM

✨ 3. Float Tanks

Float tank availability is being scaled back but will remain open.

✨ 4. Return to Our Foundation

Massage has always been the heart of this spa. That focus is being restored immediately.

✨ 5. Bird Is No Longer Accepting New Clients

This is nonnegotiable.
This protects the quality for the clients who built this business.

✨ 6. Sherri Is Accepting New Clients

Our second therapist has incredible reviews and a mixture of days, evenings, and weekends to ensure the working class continues to have availability — which has always been our mission.

✨ 7. Online Booking Required

This prevents:
• Double bookings
• Scheduling errors
• Payment disputes

✨ 8. Couples Sessions Removed

Coordinating four schedules (2 staff + 2 guests) has been consistently problematic. Sedona’s will no longer commit to couple’s sessions.

✨ 9. Payment Policy Updated

All appointments must be paid in full at the time of booking.
This change is firm and will not be reversed.

Unfortunately, too many clients did not pay for services rendered, disputed credit card charges, or booked unauthentic appointments requesting inappropriate/illegal services that put staff in uncomfortable situations. This policy protects the business, the team, and legitimate clients.

A Return to the Original Sedona’s

Sedona’s is still a small business. Scaling gave me numbers — but it came at a cost:

• Increased on-site demand
• Appointment quality slipping
• Booking chaos
• Losing personal connection with long-time clients
• Watching the spa shift into something I didn’t recognize

Tonight, I started CPR on what I built.

I know some clients have a sour taste in their mouth. I know some left disappointed. I’ve heard everything — the whispers included. And I want to be clear: there comes a point where the money is not worth it.

Scaling was never meant to sacrifice the heart of this place.

My New Schedule

After nearly five years in this industry:

• I will no longer be working Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
• Evenings are now limited to Massage-For-A-Year clients and Black Card members.

My team will still offer evenings and weekends to serve the working class — that part remains unchanged.

Yes, I’m aware Sedona’s is one of the only spas in the area open evenings and weekends. That is exactly why I feel confident that the pricing structure is justified. I cannot make everyone happy — but I can prioritize my family, my staff, and the clients who keep this business alive.

Thank you for understanding and for allowing me to correct what was being destroyed.
Sedona’s is returning to its foundation — consistency, quality, and the experience you deserve.

❌ 1. They Don’t Actually Clean Your Skin

Makeup wipes mostly smear makeup, oil, and bacteria around the face instead of removing it.
You’re basically pushing debris deeper into pores — which leads to:
• Breakouts
• Texture
• Dullness
• Milia

❌ 2. The Tugging Causes Premature Aging

That back-and-forth scrubbing?
It stretches the skin, breaks down collagen, and can accelerate fine lines — especially around the eyes.

❌ 3. They’re Harsh & Irritating

Most wipes are loaded with:
• Fragrance
• Alcohol
• Preservatives

…which strip your skin barrier and leave you dry, irritated, or inflamed.
Barrier damage = sensitivities, redness, and slower healing.

❌ 4. They Leave Residue Behind

Even if your skin looks clean, wipes leave behind:
• Film
• Surfactants
• Bacteria
• Microscopic fibers

This leftover residue creates congestion and makes your skincare less effective.

✅ What to Use Instead (Spa-Approved)

✔️ Oil Cleanser

Breaks down makeup, sunscreen, and buildup without stripping the skin.
Think of it as “melt your day away.”

✔️ Gentle Gel or Cream Cleanser

Follow with a second cleanse to actually clean the skin.

✔️ Micellar Water (optional)

Great for eye makeup — but still rinse after.

Double cleansing = glowy, clear, healthy skin.

💡 Pro Tip from Sedona’s

Makeup wipes are fine for emergencies only — think: travel days or absolute exhaustion.
But as an everyday routine?
Your skin deserves better.

Be consistent with real cleansing, and you’ll notice:

✨ Smaller pores
✨ Less congestion
✨ Brighter complexion
✨ Better product absorption
✨ Stronger skin barrier

✨ Sedona’s Official Black Card Member Pricing Has Arrived ✨

It’s official — our Black Card Member Pricing Menu has been released.
For the clients who’ve helped us grow from a single float tank to an award-winning spa — this is your thank-you.

🌵 Here’s what makes it special:
• Members already enjoy exclusive discounted pricing on every service year-round.
• When our monthly Black Card Member sales launch, we’ll be cutting your already-discounted member pricing even further — stacking bonus savings on top of your membership rates.
• And as an added luxury — Black Card Members never pay service fees. Your member fees cover them entirely.

That means no surprise charges, no fine print — just pure relaxation, transparent pricing, and loyalty rewarded the way it should be.

🖤 This isn’t a sale club.
It’s Sedona’s way of saying thank you for being the heartbeat of this spa.

11/09/2025

🖤 You know what feels even better than a massage?
Getting one whenever you want — and paying later.

That’s the freedom of being a Sedona’s Black Card Member.

This isn’t a coupon club.
It’s an invitation-only membership for clients who’ve helped build what Sedona’s has become — and it comes with privileges you won’t find anywhere else in Des Moines.

Here’s what’s inside the circle:
✨ Book Now, Pay Later — schedule your favorite services without waiting for payday.
✨ Private Member Menu — featuring an exclusive, non-public pricing scale reserved only for our inner circle — with preferred rates on luxury services.
✨ Priority booking access — reserve your sessions before the public can even see them.
✨ Exclusive monthly perks — private offers, surprise upgrades, and limited-edition treatments.
✨ Unlimited bookings at member pricing — no limits on how often you treat yourself.
✨ VIP event invites — sneak peeks, member nights, and early access to seasonal sales.
✨ Member Experiences — enjoy exclusive “After Hours in Sedona” events, private spa evenings, and first access to new treatments designed just for our inner circle.
✨ Desert Dollars — earn rewards toward upgrades, luxury enhancements, and experiences — because loyalty should feel indulgent, not transactional.

This card was created for the clients who helped shape our story —
the ones who stayed through our growth, supported our dream, and made Sedona’s what it is today.
The Black Card is our quiet way of saying thank you — and inviting you even deeper into the Sedona’s world.

Because luxury shouldn’t be rare — it should be yours.

Some clients didn’t respond to their private invite or chose to delay enrollment, which means we now have a limited handful of spaces available again.

*thank you for reading this far. Like this post, and comment: “good read”, to claim a free spa offer- as one of our hidden giveaways this month. *

✨ Didn’t get an invite but want to know what it takes to be considered for the offer?
Text us at 515-380-3212 — our team will let you know if you qualify.

Luxury for the working class — because you’ve earned it.

🖤 Sedona’s Black Card Membership — FAQ
By INVITE ONLY.

1️⃣ What does the $159 buy-in include?
The one-time buy-in secures your lifetime access to the Black Card program (it never expires).
It also includes your first 3 services at the special Black Card rate of $159 total — available only to new members at activation.

⸻

2️⃣ What happens after the buy-in?
After your initial buy-in, your Black Card membership continues at $25.34/month (tax and service charge included).
This keeps your membership active, giving you ongoing access to all privileges — from priority booking to exclusive member pricing and private events.

⸻

3️⃣ Is the $25.34 fee auto-billed?
Yes. It automatically renews monthly, ensuring you never lose your booking priority or access to member perks. You can cancel anytime — no penalties.

⸻

4️⃣ Can I cancel my membership?
Absolutely. You can cancel at any time by contacting the Sedona’s front desk or texting 515-380-3212.
If you cancel, your perks and booking priority will continue through your paid billing cycle.

⸻

5️⃣ Do I have to pay upfront for bookings?
Nope. One of the biggest perks of the Black Card is “book now, pay later.”
You can reserve your appointment up to 90 days in advance without payment — it’s only due 21 days before your session.

⸻

6️⃣ What if I miss a payment or cancel my monthly fee?
If your card lapses, your membership perks pause automatically.
To reactivate, you must call Sedona’s directly at 515-380-3212 and submit a renewal request to re-enter the program.
Reactivation is subject to space availability, as membership is capped.

⸻

7️⃣ Can I share my membership?
No — the Black Card is non-transferable and personalized to you.
However, we occasionally extend guest privileges or trial perks to friends of Black Card members during select promotions or events.

⸻

8️⃣ How will I know about member perks and events?
Members receive private text or email invites before public announcements.
That includes early access to sales, seasonal spa menus, and members-only events like the Black Card BBQ & Self-Care Social.

⸻

9️⃣ What kind of “exclusive pricing” will I get?
Black Card members enjoy exclusive rates on all services, year-round — not just select ones.
Additionally, Sedona’s periodically offers extra-special pricing on certain premium services, available to members only.
This ensures you always receive the best value without waiting for public promotions or flash sales.

⸻

🔟 Why should I renew or join now?
Because exclusive booking, freebies, and prime rates are all part of the Black Card experience — and these privileges are about to become even more valuable.
Starting in 2026, Sedona’s will officially conclude monthly public sales due to high client volume.
That means Black Card Members will be the only clients who continue to receive discounted rates year-round.

Even better? You’re not limited on how many appointments you can book.
If you want 10 massages this month at your exclusive rate — they’re yours.
And with priority booking, you’ll always have first access before the public even sees open slots.
