A spa experience is one of the best ways to rejuvenate a tired mind, body, and spirit. It\’s even more rewarding when an esthetician or massage therapist understands the unique needs of melanin toned skin. Yet, trying to find a Black-owned spa can be challenging.
Brooklyn, New York, is the home to two Black-owned spas. As a result, the staff understands the unique skincare needs of people of color.
The next time you need some pampering, be sure to visit either of these spas.
