Upcoming Events
December 16th, 6-9PM @ Refresh Your Pallet Take a break and come join us for a night of painting, drinking, and munching on some yummy snacks. We have teamed up with Jessalyn from All Aboard to bring you this yummy event. During this class, we will provide you with your choice of Charcuterie board for you to stain, customize, and paint. Afterward, we will give you tips on portioning, teach you how to pick the perfect cheeses, and give you recommendations for pairing different textures/flavors. We will also talk about the importance of seasonal ingredients on your board. Once you learn all you need to know about how to make your perfect charcuterie board, it will be time to let your creative juices flow! You will go home with a mixture of meats and cheeses, pickles/olives, fruits, nuts, and chocolates. We can’t wait to see what you create! We will be limited to 10 seats per event. We expect these tickets to sell out fast. Each person in your party must purchase a ticket to attend. 

Gift Certificates for All Aboard by Jessalyn make the perfect gift for anyone in your life!

Our philosophy is a simple one. Because we specialize in the very highest quality massage services at affordable prices, we can make the soothing wonder of the massage experience accessible to more and more people.

That turns a "massage or facial" into that rare breed of products and services; an affordable luxury. And it makes it easier for you to "LOVE THYSELF" as often as your sore, aching, stressed-out mind and body may desire. Proving that top-end spa services aren’t just for the rich and famous anymore, Hand & Stone erases what once was considered a penchant of the affluent by offering services to all levels of consumers.
