OLATHE, KS. (May 16, 2024) — Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, the nation’s leading luxury massage and facial spa franchise, announced today the upcoming opening of its newest franchised location in Olathe. Located at 20160 W. 153rd Street, the Olathe spa is owned by Lisa and John Paulson and marks the brand’s 3rd location in Kansas. The local owners are committed to providing a sanctuary for the Olathe community where people can regularly invest in themselves through self-care. To celebrate opening their doors, the Olathe spa is featuring a pre-opening offer: FREE massage or facial with enrollment in Hand & Stone Lifestyle Membership and waived enrollment fee.

Lisa is a proud graduate of both Iowa State University and the University of Kansas and has spent the last 24+ years as an elementary teacher and academic coach.

Both holding deep Midwestern roots, the husband-and-wife team plan to open two more spas in the Kansas City Metro area, making self-care services even more accessible for their beloved community. 

“Hand & Stone is more than just a new business venture for me,” explained Lisa Paulson, co-owner of Hand & Stone Olathe, “I first became acquainted with the brand in 2021 and soon became an active member.” Lisa has severe arthritis and massage is one of the few remedies that provides good pain relief.  It is her mission to bring the healing power of massage and transformative skin care services to the residents of Olathe, KS.

The newest Hand & Stone in Olathe brings high-quality professional massage services, including Swedish, Himalayan Salt, Sports, Deep Tissue, Oncology and Prenatal massages to the South Kansas City Metro community.
