Rejuvenated and Ready to Go

The Salon and Spa Botanica, a known name on the Island for over 20 years, has undergone more than just a few changes recently. 

Born and raised local, Francesca Wagner had the opportunity to purchase the salon three years ago, and she knew that she wanted to keep the same excellent services that had always been available to its patrons. However, her vision for the salon would not stop there.   

A floor-to-ceiling renovation occurred this past summer, transforming the familiar space into a tranquil, earthy, and fresh environment that reflects Francesca and her team. Additionally,new stations and chairs, a refreshment section, and three new members joined the team to completethe transformation into a full-service Spa that offershair, skin, and nails.  

 “We’re so happy towelcome three incredibly talented new team members who all cametogether to start a new chapter here,”said Francesca before diving deeper into each one’s credentials:
