Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I think it is a bit hasty to say that these "cannot" be rooms, and must instead be "booths" or "cubicles". In my (admittedly limited) experience, when I have been somewhere in Italy offering treatments in "cabine", they have been quite large spaces I would definitely call "rooms"; there was always a series of these rooms leading off a corridor, most of the time with proper walls though on one occasion they were prefab partitions that stopped short of the ceiling. I don't think it is possible to leap to conclusions here about the type of space where the treatments are carried out, but IMO the terms cubicle and booth conjure up images of something small and cubby-hole like, perhaps with partitions instead of walls, and for that reason I would avoid them.

: As they talk about treatment in the tubs, I would use beauty here because "estetica" is something different.
