About Us
WHERE IT ALL BEE-GAN
Circa 2000
Founded by British expat Jodi Shays, Queen Bee Salon & Spa emerged from the heart of her English garden in Los Angeles, California. What started as a humble venture in a converted garage blossomed into a sanctuary of beauty and self-care that reigns supreme with locations in Los Angeles, Dallas and Seattle.
Our Founder's Journey: Jodi Shays, a dedicated esthetician and skincare enthusiast, honed her craft as a facialist, brow artist, and waxologist just off the renowned Rodeo Drive in the beauty capital of the world – Beverly Hills, California. Her passion for beauty and commitment to delivering top-notch esthetic services laid the foundation for Queen Bee Salon & Spa.
From Garden to Glamour: The story of Queen Bee began in that converted garage, where Jodi's vision took root and flourished. Her British charm, coupled with the glamour of Beverly Hills, infused a unique blend of sophistication and warmth into every aspect of the salon. Today, Queen Bee is not just a spa; it's a testament to the dedication of one woman's journey in the beauty industry.
EVERYBODY DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE ROYALTY
Queen Bee’s mission is simple:
Shays insists on creating spaces where people feel welcome the moment they step through the front door. “Nobody should feel that they are any different to anybody else.” says Shays. “Our culture at Queen Bee is unpretentious. We work hard to build honest relationships with each other and our clients. There isn’t room for factory-style services here where clients just feel like a ticket! I insist that everybody who walks through my doors feel like they are coming into my living room for a friendly chat, amazing service and a chance to be away from the demands of everyday life.”
OUR VALUES
IF YOU LIKE US, TALK ABOUT US. IF YOU DON’T LIKE US, TALK TO US!
It’s very important for us that you are happy with your experience and services at any Queen Bee location. We believe that cleanliness is next to godliness; that the products we employ and sell should be thoroughly tested and Queen Bee-approved; that the treatments we provide should produce nothing but otherworldly bliss; and that everyone who steps through our doors should be treated like royalty (minus the beheading!)
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
