Meet Our Team
Yadira Alexander
Owner
Master Skin Care Therapist
A deep love and passion for skin care and beauty, led Yadira to graduate from Arthur Angelo 19 years ago, with a degree in Master Esthetics. Her 19 year journey has led her to showcase her work in local news stations, as well as several local magazines. She recently graced the cover of The Bay Magazines “Spa Issue” and was the featured makeup artist in a national television show. Yadira was also voted Best Skin Care in New England by Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine, which was an honor for her.
Self-employed and always looking for ways to grow and challenge herself, Yadira pursued her dream of expanding her business. She looked for the perfect location to make it her own, and Spa Yadira was born in February 2013. Her dream became a reality and her love and dedication to build a piece of heaven that others can enjoy just as much as she does, became a reality.
Yadira would like to personally thank each and every one of her guest, for choosing Spa Yadira for all of their skin care needs. She wishes you all love and inner serenity, every time you walk into our doors.
