I came her for a massage with my favorite massage therapist, Barbara. They really have embraced their tropical beach theme! I was surprised at the huge sand area behind the reception counter. Everything is new and clean including the chairs and furniture and massage table linens. Barbara is very knowledgeable about her craft and communicates that goals of each session with me before we start. She is one of the few masseuse that puts me in such a relaxed state that I start to doze off during the later portion of the massage session. This location also has hair care and body waxing services. read more

I paid for partial highlights, cut and blowdry via Groupon and I couldn't be any happier! Emily worked with my hair thick locks. She is new to the spa but has over a decade of experience! I absolutely loved how down to earth she was as well as professional. She is brilliant with her knowledge of hair care, color, cut and style! The place was very clean and the owner is very nice. I decided to do some waxing last minute and she made time for me! Please check out Stranded at the Spa sometime and my photos on here :) read more

This place is awesome! I came in for a haircut and partial highlight with Annie and she rocked my hair world. She was so much fun to work with and talk to during the whole appointment. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for and she did an amazing job of making my hair look very dreamy. She does great work and I can't wait to come back! The salon was fantastic and it feels like you're on a tropical vacation which was right up my ally. I highly recommend this salon. Thank you again Annie! read more

Found this place on Groupon and I just wanted a haircut and my hair lightened in any way-which the Groupon covered. The girl said my groupon wouldn't work for what I wanted and recommended a balayage. Which was $200...much more then my $60 Groupon. But I just agreed and hoped for the best. That was my first mistake. Since I was paying $200 I made sure to be exact on what I wanted, a icy blonde toward the tips. I even showed her pictures of balayages I liked. The girl who did my hair not only took over 4 hours but did the complete opposite of what I asked for. My hair is half orange, and at the worst health it's ever been. It's not even balayage!!! I decided to hold off on my review because she insisted that purple shampoo would make it better so I've been doing that for 3 weeks now as well as a purple hair mask 2 times a week and nothing has changed. She also said the sun will lighten it up but for $200 you'd think I wouldn't have to wait till summer for my desired look. As for my hair cut...she did it in less then 5 minutes and called it a day I was genuinely confused when she stopped and said she was done. The haircut was around $30 btw. I had my friend with me and we both agreed that it was not worth the money/time/energy The people were nice but at the end of the day very inexperienced read more

Great haircut and great customer service. Angie really took the time to understand me and what was best for my hair.

Awesome spa!! Margaret does a fantastic job with waxing. My husband (back) and son (eyebrows) go there as well. The spa is clean and everything is sanitized. I'm going to start getting facials there soon. Highly recommend this place. read more

I have to say I had such a great first time experience here at Stranded at the Spa. I got my first ever wax here with Margaret and she took her time to make the process so easy/as gentle as possible! Literally gave me so many tips and I left feeling so happy with my experience. Great prices as well! Will be coming again. Thank you! read more

First time at this spa for a Mandalic peel. Margaret was professional and gave me great advice on skin care at home. She mentioned her skin care line but was not pushy that I should get hers instead of ones I already have/use. A wonderful experience. I will definitely be back. read more

I got a Brazilian wax by Margaret today and it was such a wonderful experience! She made me feel so comfortable which made the time go by incredibly fast. She got rid of all my ingrown hairs and explained my hair type and the way my hair grows. I am excited to go back! Never thought I would say that about a wax! read more

Terrible customer service over the phone. If they have a groupon that states you can rebuy if you have been there they should honor it. If they cannot get groupon to change the fine print they should take their deal down. That is false advertisement. And if you do have false advertisement that you cant follow through on be a little nicer on the phone. read more

What a great experience! I am so bad at explaining what kind of haircut I want...because I am usually not sure. I went in with a few pictures and Angie and I worked together to find the right haircut for me. I LOVE my haircut!! It's super cute. Angie is knowledgeable, patient and experienced. The salon is also very clean and welcoming. I also felt safe as they follow the guidelines. I highly recommend this salon. read more

I've been to Margaret for facials several times, and I have had nothing but great experiences. She takes the time to get to know your skin, and she has a magic way of knowing what will make your skin the happiest. Super sweet and friendly, goes above and beyond, never ever pushes a hard sell. I can't afford to see her more than once every couple of months, but I promise she's worth every penny. read more

After hearing and reading great things about this place I am actually sad that they did a same day cancellation on me. This is the first time a salon has done this so I am shocked and upset as I leave for vacation tomorrow. Can you imagine? They asked if I'd like to reschedule but I don't feel I could trust this place again to keep the actual appointment. No, I would not recommend this salon if you are In Need. read more

Such a disappointment- bought a Groupon for to try this salon for a haircut. The owner refused to honor the Groupon and schedule a hair cut. How do you stay in business when you refuse new customers? And she refused to refund the Groupon. Don't waste your time with this salon! read more

I saw Margaret for a facial and she was really amazing. The facial itself was really relaxing. She explained so much about skin care to me and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Margaret!!! read more

Great experience. I had long hair, and was nervous to get the bob cut done. But it was so much better with these ladies helping out in explaining how the look would be after and they did and amazing job! read more

I went to see Margaret at her new place, Stranded at the Spa, that opened near the Dunkin Donuts on the west end of Cromwell. If you weren't looking for it, you might miss the small entrance. The inside of the salon is bright, with a beach theme, altogether very welcoming. Everything is shiny and brand new, and Margaret is professional and welcoming, as always, and so is the staff. They have a full suite of services for both men and women, and I will definitely be back. Highly suggest visiting Stranded at the Spa and supporting a local business! read more

Had purchased a Groupon for haircut and highlights. Made the appointment indicating the groupon deal. The day of the appointment the owner calls and asks if I can come in earlier as they had a cancellation, AND decides to tell me then that I cannot use the groupon because I had been there over a year ago for a facial and so I am not "a new customer." I was upset and let her know that I didn't think I'd be considered an existing customer as I never had my hair done there. Her response was that I should have read the fine print on the groupon and I acknowledged that I had but didn't see me having a facial there over a year ago as not being a new client in their hair salon. I also expressed frustration over the fact that I wasn't told I could use the groupon when I made the appointment. So, I plan my day around this appointment and can't even go because they refuse to honor the groupon deal. Very unprofessional. read more

I was gifted a spa day for my birthday & I absolutely loved every second of it. This was my first ever time having a facial & massage. Margaret did my facial and she made sure I was comfortable, relaxed & got to know me on a personal level, especially my skin care routine. She walked me through the entire process from beginning to end, informing me of what products she was using and what they're doing to my face. She was very knowledgeable/professional about skincare & I would recommend her to anyone who is need a self care day or hasn't gotten a facial before (like myself) ! She is also the owner & did a fantastic job creating a relaxing aura with the beach inspired decor and wave sounds throughout the spa. Jasmine was my masseuse for my full body massage and she also did a fantastic job. She took her time, reassured that I was comfortable & asked if I needed any adjustments throughout the session. It truly felt like she was making artwork on my back! It was such an insane, amazing feeling. All in all, I'll definitely be back & will be referring these two ladies as well as the spa in general! They also do hair/waxing so I'll have to give it a try and leave a review for that lol read more

My husband purchased a Groupon for me which consisted of a Deep Cleansing Facial and a Mandelic Peel. It was my first visit to this spa and it won't be my last. Margaret was AMAZING! Her place is very relaxing and calming. During my visit she took the time to evaluate my skin and during the treatment, let me know what she was doing and how it would feel. Very professional and knowledgeable. She asked me questions about my skin care routine and offered me some great advice - never pushed any products on me. The next day my face felt beyond amazing and I can see a real difference in the tone. If I could give @strandedatthe spa more stars I would! I can't wait to go back.......definitely put this place on your list :) read more

Margaret treated me so well. Came in for a facial with a Mandelic peel. Left with my skin feeling amazing! She also gave me so much insight about proper home care. The experience and tips were personalized for my skincare needs. There seems to be a lot of flexibility with scheduling also! Truly a 5 star experience. Booked my next facial before leaving! read more

Had a lovely facial. I learned a lot about my skin and steps I can take to improve it. I will be returning!

Very fast wax compare to others and much less painful. Margaret was very informative and knowledgeable about my hair type as well. Will definitely be back read more

Barbara was wonderful! One of the best massages I've had, plus super reasonable rates. Will be booking another one with her again soon!

I had an appointment booked since Dec. 5 that was scheduled for this past Saturday at 10 am. When I arrived for my appointment the door was locked with a post-it saying they will be in late (10:30) for a family issue- No problem at all. I came back in for 10:30 gave them my name and I was there for an appointment. The didn't have me on the books? I showed my confirmation text and the response was "Oh, they don't work here anymore." What?!?! Did you not check their appointments or think to reschedule or call their clients?!? I was supposed to go on vacation Sunday- thankfully was canceled because of the Corona-virus. They admitted fault but were NOT apologetic or sympathetic and made NO EFFORT to make things right. What if I were going on vacation?? They STILL would have done NOTHING! I do not recommend them based on how they handled this. SOOO disappointed. Will NEVER go back nor recommend anyone to go there. Absolutely ridiculous! read more
