HAND & STONE EXPANDS ATLANTA AREA FOOTPRINT WITH NEWEST SPA
Stonecrest, GA (March 7, 2024) — Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, the nation’s leading luxury massage and facial spa franchise, announced today the opening of its newest franchised location on Sunday, March 10th in Stonecrest. Located at Priví in The Mall at Stonecrest, 8020 Mall Parkway, Suite C1070, the new Hand & Stone Stonecrest spa is owned and operated by local husband-and-wife-duo Vaughn and Cassandra Irons. This marks the couple’s first spa in the Hand & Stone franchise system. The Irons family's confidence in their decision to invest in a Hand & Stone Spa franchise was bolstered by the spa's exceptional health and wellness offerings, its premium spa services, and their belief in the community's willingness to embrace the business.
Vaughn and Cassandra Irons are two individuals that consistently display an entrepreneurial spirit and seek to improve their community through their business ventures and selfless acts of kindness. Remarkably, last year, Vaughn underwent a kidney transplant due to his advanced stage five kidney disease. Initially faced with the challenge of finding a compatible donor, Cassandra selflessly volunteered to donate her kidney to a complete stranger, setting off a chain of organ donations that ultimately saved Vaughn’s life. This experience opened their eyes to their passion for health and wellness and they knew they wanted to create a greater wellness community in Stonecrest. The Irons found that Hand & Stone was ultimately the perfect avenue to achieve this, and they look forward to engaging with their community through their premier spa services.
“Recognizing Stonecrest's proximity to Atlanta, we are steadfast in our conviction that this community rightfully deserves more opportunities for growth and development. We are confident Hand & Stone will be an excellent addition to the Stonecrest business community,” said Vaughn and Cassandra Irons, owners of Hand & Stone Spa in Stonecrest. “We are here to provide a haven for relaxation, rejuvenation, and self-care, and we can't wait to be a part of this vibrant community's journey towards a healthier and more balanced lifestyle."
The newest Hand & Stone in Stonecrest brings high-quality professional massage services, including Swedish, Himalayan Salt, Sports, Deep Tissue, Oncology and Prenatal massages to the Stonecrest community. Guests can also visit the new spa to enjoy Hand & Stone’s signature hot stone massage and best-in-class facial and hair removal treatments tailored to each individual's needs or skin concerns, with a wide-range of services available for women, men and teens.
Like all Hand & Stone spas nationwide, the new Stonecrest location offers advanced skincare and spa services that incorporate new technologies at the forefront of the wellness market to enhance each guest’s overall experience. These advanced services include Decompression Therapy massage, Diamond Glow facial, NuFACE microcurrent facial, Percussive Therapy massage and LED Phototherapy facial, as well as innovations such as CBD oil enhancements and partnerships with award-winning skincare lines Dermalogica® and ClarityRX (CBD offerings vary by market).
All Hand & Stone services are performed by experienced certified estheticians and Licensed Massage Therapists. The brand’s commitment to guest experience has translated to an unparalleled level of expertise at each location, supported by best-in-class training and ongoing education resources. At Hand & Stone Stonecrest, members will have access to a team of wellness experts who specialize in providing exceptional skincare and massage treatments, ensuring a tranquil, relaxing, and comfortable environment.
