The owner, Marget, was so professional and personable! The establishment was very clean and relaxing- with a beach view atmosphere! Got a Brazilian and underarm waxing, it took only 30 minutes. She also talked me through what she did and why, and educated me on exfoliating. 10/10 would go again!

I got a massage and facial last week and they both were great! The salon itself is beautiful and relaxing. My massage was first and Barbara made me feel very relaxed and comfortable when I was hesitant at first (due to the fact that this was my first time ever getting a massage). She asked me questions so she knew what was good for me. For my facial, Margaret altered what I had booked for myself to something that would fit my skin better. She was very kind and easy to talk to throughout the process. She also explained and gave me tips on how to keep my skin healthy in between my facial appointments. Overall, my experience here was phenomenal and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I scheduled a facial with Margaret to get some help with my skin. She helped me decide which facial would be best for my skin to provide the best results. My skin was so healthy-looking and glowing after my facial. Margaret did a great job informing me about my skin type and ways to improve my skin health. She did a wonderful job and made my first facial in a while great. I was so happy with the results, and look forward to seeing her again!

I have been going to Margaret for the past year for waxing and facials and she has been educated, professional, and results have been obvious (as well as a relaxing experience during the facials). She recently recommended Barbara for a mommy massage as Im currently 6 months pregnant and I was equally impressed at her knowledge, professionalism, and tension releasing work! I would recommend the spa and these wonderful ladies to anyone looking for a little me time or whatever it is youre looking for

If you are looking for a trustworthy place with integrity and amazing staff Stranded at the Spa is where its at. Annie and Margaret are one of the kindest and hard working professionals Ive ever met. Annie does my blonde and she is a gem. She is kind, thorough and precise and honest about her work. If you are a blonde, I am sure youve hard HORROR stories. Stranded at the Spa is a salon you can go to with no worries, as you know when you walk out you will look fly!! Ive had some of the greatest conversations in Annies chair. I highly recommend this salon. They also do waxing and massages too.

Annie is so incredibly amazing. I went in there going for a trim as well as shaving off the sides of my hair & let me tell you she did so great! I was worried about how I would end up looking but she made it come out so well & made me feel comfortable the whole time. Such a nice person & the passion she has for doing hair is definitely there. 10000% will be going back to Annie!

I highly recommend this salon!!! Well maintained, friendly staff and very professional! Annie, has worked on my hair several times and she’s amazing. I continue to come back because she’s brilliant and very attentive. She’s blond certified and knows what she is talking about. I appreciate her taking the time to develop the perfect color/tone for my hair, while also wanting to maintain the integrity of my hair. I will continue to come back!!!

My teenager was thrilled with her salon visit! She wanted this prep to use home temporary colors with. With her thick hair, this is likely the best haircut shes received as well.We appreciate the time Angie spent on my childrens haircuts, at most salons they are rushed and very blunt but here she took time to texture and shape their hair appropriately!!Experience and service is well worth the price.

I went to see Margaret for a facial to help my acne. She is very knowledgeable about skin care and how to tailor it for your specific skin/needs. The facial itself was amazing. So relaxing and my skin felt so soft and much less irritated than before. I had a lot of redness/inflammation around my nose from using retinol and whatever she put on my skin helped it so much. I highly recommend!!

I had 5 Diamond Microdermabrasion Facial sessions with Margaret - my face looks and feels amazing!! I booked my 2nd session for Ultrasound Facial!! I also took my 14 year old son to Margaret for Acne Relief Facial. Margaret did such a great job on his first & second session he is looking forward to his third session in a few weeks! Stranded at the Spa is definitely the best experience we have had with facials! Always clean and welcoming! I highly recommend Margaret, she is personable, knowledgeable, consistent and professional!! We found our forever Spa!!

Wonderful place! All the women who work here are very knowledgeable and eager to help. My daughters had couple of facials with Margaret where she offered several very useful remedies for their skin issues. I had a color and cut with Angie. She was uncharacteristically conscientious in her meticulous work. She never set a timer and walked away. She stood next to me and worked on my hair for three hours straight. She initiated several conversations throughout the process to ensure that she understood what I wanted. It was my first visit with her and I found her easy to entrust with a new haircut that was out of my normal routine cuts. I asked her to start conservatively because I was not sure of my own decision and she did a wonderful job. Talented, professional, knowledgeable. Offered relevant and useful styling tips that I had never thought of to fix a persistent unsightly cowlick on the back of my head. That worked! Very good experience at this spa.

I got my first massage in years at Stranded at the Spa with Barbara and it was awesome! Barbara talked me through the process as a first time customer and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, physically and mentally. I can’t wait for my next one!

Review №34

Margaret was AMAZING! This was the least painful Brazilian Ive ever gotten! She told me what she was doing each step of the way so there were no surprises, and creatively distracted me from the zings by asking for my assistance! I found her through Groupon, but I am 100% using her from now on! She did great, very meticulous!!

Angie is beyond amazing! I went in for a full highlight, cut and style groupon... knowing I’d need more help due to not going anywhere for awhile with Covid. I showed her exactly what I wanted to do and where I wanted to be color wise and she exceeded my expectations! She listened to my concerns and although it took a long timeee I walked out feeling so much better. I’ve never had anyone be able to blow dry my thick curly hair so fast and so straight!! Prices are reasonable and space is clean. I will definitely be going back!

Review №45

The facial I received was wonderful. It was a top notch service. Margaret, the woman who performed my facial gave me the option to just relax, or she asked if Id like it if she explained everything she was doing. I opted for explanations. She was patient and gave me specialized tips based on my skin. And she gave me easy to follow tips for home. And what I liked most of all was that she didnt push any products on me or try to sell me anything. It was a truly relaxing and pampering service. The room was relaxing and the chair was very comfortable. I would return to this spa, for sure.

Ive been coming here for a little over a year now to get my eyebrows waxed. Margaret is excellent at what she does! She makes recommendations but always makes sure you leave satisfied and sends you with some tips to keep your eyebrows looking good. Ive never treated myself to any other services the spa offers, but am sure I would never leave disappointed.

I paid for a $50 Groupon a couple weeks ago and Chanel did an amazing job! The groupon was partial highlights, cut, and style... good price!! I wasn’t happy with my previous experience (at a different salon) and Chanel was able to listen carefully to what I wanted. She fixed it!! I told my mom to check them out too which I would never do if I didn’t love the place. I also met the owner there who was very sweet and offered me a glass of wine during my appointment. Love that! Great experience!!

I was in need of a last minute facial, and randomly selected Stranded at the Spa to see if an appointment was available, well, thank you Universe because I found my new favorite spot for facials!I did the Ultrasonic Facial peel with the owner, Margaret, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing. The salon is clean and bright, all of the tools she used were sterile. I was completely relaxed during the whole process, and I immediately booked another appointment at the end of my appointment.Margaret is amazing and I cant wait to see her again!

Went for a bachelorette girls weekend! It was really nice. We did the beach breeze package which was 1/2 hour facial, 1/2 massage and wash/blowout. The staff were very nice and professional and they gave gentle advice without trying to sell you anything extra! They even had a fruit platter out for us and some water and sparkling wine. We had a great time! Very clean and updated. They have an actual sand box in the middle of the floor :)

It was a horror story. My appointment was for 11am, after hours in the most uncomfortable chair Ive ever been in, my hair was overprocecessed. My hair was falling out! She stripped it, then had to do it all over again. Thank God for another employee to help out what she had done, it was scary... I finally got out of there @4:30 PM!!! My hair is dry, hope its not ruined, and I paid for extra products used, shame on me.
