Testimonials

"Megan gave me a wonderful facial and my pedicure with Deirdre was the best! They were very personable and professional. Clearly, the staff at The Spa School has trained them well! And the prices were a fraction of what you would pay at any other spa!"

Jill Snedden

"The student did careful, excellent work. It took forever, but she was just trying to do it well. She trimmed and shaped my nails, massaged my feet and legs, painted them (having advised on the color). I got a pedicure."
