The best thing about treatments at Shandon Esthetics & Wellness with Susan Benesh is that you get…read moreto spend time with Susan Benesh. Susan wants the very best results for you. She will guide you through the options and help you decide what is best for you. Susan is extremely knowledgeable and communicates confidently with her patients. She walks you through the confusing world of botox, and fillers, and treatments giving you the advice you need . . . like you are spending time with your best friend. Susan invites you to ask questions and to educate yourself. I feel like I am not hiding age or trying to be a younger version of myself. I feel like Susan helps me find the best way to treat the hard edges and soften the lines around my eyes and mouth while working a balanced strategy to lift my cheeks and redefine my jawline. Susan's education and training set her above any other providers in our region. I would not trust anyone else. Susan's knowledge and skill have helped me to make the most of my features and helped me the best version of my fifty-something self.

I'll start by saying this is one of the best esthetician and wellness practices I have been to in…read moresome time. I would not recommend anyone other than Susan and her staff. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by the wonderful staff and a relaxing atmosphere. What you can expect: 1. Truly personalized patient care - Susan and her staff are highly regarded and work with you on a personal level. 2. An excellent suite of bespoke services tailored to your needs. Susan doesn't try and upsell you like many places. She takes the time to understand what you're looking for and gives you options that you choose and not the other way around. 3. Services rendered by experts. Susan's knowledge of medicine and treatments is unparalleled. If you need to understand the treatment or even the science behind it, she is your go-to. 4. Confidence that you are being taken care of and not just another patient on the docket for the day. You'll leave having laughed a lot and feeling like you've made new friends. Most importantly, you'll want to come back again and again.

I am 22 and had my first ever massage with Dawn Hurley and it most certainly won't be my last! I…read morecame in with muscle tightness stemming from my hyper-mobility and bad posture and I left feeling like I had a new body. Dawn heard my concerns and addressed them by confirming where my muscle tightness was and focusing on those areas with a mix of heavy and light massage. There was one point where I had extreme tightness in my upper back and Dawn massaged some muscle up there and I felt it loosen the entire way down to my butt; I have never experienced a relief/release like that. I can honestly say that this massage experience changed my life as I will be seeking out that same relief from anything and everything. The atmosphere is also unmatched, cozy rooms with comfy sheets and blankets and fans to keep you at a comfortable temperature. Plus, it all ends with a heavenly head massage. 1000/10 experience, pleaseee go visit Dawn to start your day off with rejuvenated muscles!

Yes. That actually strengthens the review because it raises a fair question about why you were…read moreassigned to Shenekwa when the spa apparently identifies Kirstie with that specialty. I'd word it as a question rather than claiming anything about their staffing decisions: I booked a lymphatic drainage massage yesterday, and unfortunately, this was one of the worst day-spa experiences I've had. I've been to plenty of spas and have had lymphatic massage before, so I had a reasonable expectation of what this service should be. What makes this especially disappointing is that I explained to my therapist, Shenekwa, that my doctor specifically recommended lymphatic drainage massage to help my body decongest. I explained that this was an important massage for me and that I needed someone experienced and knowledgeable in lymphatic drainage. I specifically asked Shenekwa whether she had performed lymphatic drainage massages before and about her experience with them. She told me that she has several clients she performs them on. After experiencing the service and listening to her responses when I asked questions about lymphatic drainage, I personally find that very difficult to believe. She would give me answers, but they were vague and unhelpful and did not demonstrate the level of knowledge I would expect from someone regularly performing this specialized service. The massage itself was equally disappointing. She used a cheap-feeling aloe vera gel and didn't even have enough product to complete my massage. She actually ran out during the service and continued rubbing and massaging areas of my skin DRY. It was uncomfortable and completely unacceptable for a professional spa service. The lymphatic drainage technique and sequence also did not resemble what I have previously experienced with this type of massage. The entire service felt low-effort and as though very little care was being put into it. I actually felt worse when I left than I did when I arrived. What makes this even more frustrating is that, according to the spa's own website, Kirstie is listed as specializing in lymphatic massage. If the spa has a therapist who specifically specializes in the service I booked, why wasn't I scheduled with her? Especially when I made it clear that this massage was recommended by my doctor and that having someone experienced was important to me. Had I known there was a therapist there who specifically specialized in lymphatic massage, I absolutely would have requested her. There was also an issue before my appointment even started. About 30 minutes before my scheduled 4:00 p.m. appointment, Shenekwa spoke to my husband and told him that she was getting a tire changed and would be running late. I still arrived before my scheduled appointment because I'm always on time. When I arrived, she was already there and apparently able to start on time. I'm glad she made it on time, but since she had spoken to my husband to say she would be late, she could have contacted us again to let us know that she had actually made it back on time. It left me wondering what would have happened if I had relied on what she told my husband and arrived at the later time she indicated. Would I have then been considered late or charged for being late? Clients are expected to respect appointment times, and that consideration should go both ways. If you're going to charge premium day-spa prices for a specialized service like lymphatic drainage massage, you should make sure the therapist performing that service is properly trained, knowledgeable, and skilled in that specific technique. And if you already have someone on staff whom your own website identifies with lymphatic massage, I don't understand why clients booking that specialized service wouldn't be placed with that person. I still gave Shenekwa a $9 tip because I felt she at least tried, but the service failed miserably to meet my expectations. I left feeling worse than when I arrived, and I would absolutely never return. I've had many day-spa experiences, and I've never had one quite like this. For the amount of money being charged, customers deserve a much higher level of professionalism, knowledge, and care.
