Good idea.  Getting a jump on the purchasing aspect is the ONLY way to go.  For equipment go to www.directsupply.com.  They have a wide variety of the things you mentioned for the spa and just about everything else in the Health-Care industry.  For accessories at your boutique, I found a great general web-site that'll direct you to the different categories of your choosing; www.boutiquestuff.com.  Wish you the best.

Why not just call the store or look it up on the net.  I'm sure the store opening hours will be listed someplace.  :)

Well, it depends if the spa is downtown New York City or just one in town.  Personally, I've been given day spa packages and they were outstanding.  It's just a bit of pampering.  You can get almost anything done - depending on the spa.  Massage - facials - pedicures - manicures - hair - mud wraps - sugar scrubs - the list goes on and on.  If you're thinking of getting one as a Christmas present for your lady, do a search online or stop in - they'll probably have brochures for you with packages available.  :)  I love it!

The language of spa is composed of both ancient and modern dialects from around the world. From Acupressure to Zen, our convenient reference will help you grasp the ever-growing terminology. \n\nFrom the Latin “Sanus Per Aquam” to the modern hydrodermabrasion, the art & science of Taking The Waters has evolved.\n\nSpas are located in resorts and health clubs.\nThe spa staff are those who will pamper your ever tired body with luxurious types of massages and therapeutic touch :-)

You may want to read the free article "How To Start Your Own Day Care Center" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol40/daycare.com It covers various aspects of starting and running a daycare center including the demand for daycare centers, how to start this business, shoestring strategies, how to operate a daycare center, tips on caring for the children, income potential, how to manage your daycare, marketing your business and other additional income potential. There are so many things to learn about the business that the first step is to read everything you can find.\n\nSome examples of business plans on daycare (free) include:\n\nSBA How to Start a Quality Child Care http://www.sba.gov/library/pubs/mp-29.pdf \nhttp://www.misbtdc.org/documents/BPWORKBK.pdf\nCanada http://www.cbsc.org/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=CBSC_MB%2Fdisplay&lang=en&cid=1099483437463&c=GuideHowto\nhttp://www.entrepreneur.com/article/0,4621,290241,00.html \n\nPlanMagic.com and Palo Alto software both have samples of business plans as well, but they are in the paid versions of their software and not free\n\nFor in-depth information, I suggest checking out the following books:\n\n- Start and Run a Profitable Home Day Care \n- The Daycare Provider's Workbook \n- Start Your Own At-Home Child Care Business \n- So You Want to Open a Profitable Child Care Center : \nEverything You Need to Know to Plan, Organize and Implement a Successful Program \n\nIt is also important that you learn the tax rules affecting daycare centers, especially if you are going to open one from your home. Here is the IRS page on child care centers: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/industries/content/0,,id=99878,00.html

this is a tough one. how about pictures of clouds, smile faces, and your mom customers. Promotions could be free spa for mom's when they open an account. The spa may actually pay you to promote them.
