Cancellation, Refunds & Policies

  • Late Arrivals

    At times, something prevents a guest from arriving on time. Nova Therapeutic Massage will do its best to accommodate you within this shorter time frame. As a courtesy to fellow Spa Guests, late arrivals may receive only their remaining available appointment time. You will only be charged the time applied for your visit, not the entire time of your appointment.

  • Cancellation Policy

    You may cancel or reschedule an appointment at no charge by giving us notice no less than 24 hours preceding your appointment. Same-day cancellations or appointments may be charged at 50% of the scheduled service price.

  • Refunds

    Nova Therapeutic Massage cares about each client individually and strives to provide the best service and experience. Please let us know if your service was not performed correctly during check-out. Please note that there will be no service refunds after the check-out. Gift Certificates can be refunded only with the original receipt and to the person who purchased them with a 20% cancellation fee. Gift certificates can never be exchanged for cash and promotional value will expire on the date indicated on the Gift Certificate. In accordance with Virginia law, cash value will not expire for 5 years from the date of purchase. Products can be exchanged within 7 days of purchase only if defective or there is evidence of severe allergic reaction.

  • Insurance

    We do not accept third-party payments and are not affiliated with any provider group. Our experience has been that, when recommended by a physician, massage therapy is occasionally covered by health insurance plans.


    Our services are usually an allowed expense for medical savings accounts and flexible spending accounts.

  • Cellular Phones/Pagers

    For your relaxation and the relaxation of other guests, we ask that you turn off your cellular phone and pagers when you arrive at SPA LUX.

  • Children and Minors

    We love children and would like to provide the best family experience at the spa whenever possible. However, our facility is not set up to accommodate little children before the age of 16. Minors from age 16 up to 18 can be treated with parental consent only. We do ask that childcare arrangements be made prior to your visit. This will allow for a more relaxing visit and atmosphere to all of our guests.

  • Tips for Practitioner

    Tips are appreciated but never expected. If you wish to leave a gratuity for your therapist we ask that you do so in cash or by check made directly to the practitioner.
