\u201cPeople today have a lot of pressure. It\u2019s not only skincare. It\u2019s not about facials. I think they need a space to heal to get more energy from there to feel good,\u201d said founder and owner Bella Zhang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The spa offers facials, anti-aging treatments, permanent makeup application, body contouring and rejuvenation services. A 90-minute signature facial costs $280. The most affordable services are the scalp stress release therapy and permanent eyelash makeup, both under $200, while a 90-minute Fotona 6D Face + Neck Bundle is one of the most expensive treatments at $1,300.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SENSE+ also has an event and workshop space, where the team plans to host community classes ranging from aromatherapy workshops to yoga classes to seminars with fashion designers and real estate agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want SENSE+ to be a place where people come to not only look their best, but to also feel restored, educated and connected.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhang said she tested each device featured at SENSE+ herself, including advanced technologies like HydraFacial, TriLift and Fotona 4D. She also curated a collection of high-end skincare products for the store to use, including NIANCE (a Swiss biotechnology-based brand) and Orlane (a high-end French brand).\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said she tried several spas and medical spas in the past, but many of them tried too hard to sell her things, making it difficult to relax. This inspired her to create the spa with partner and esthetician Lily Zhang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey try to sell me too hard, not caring that much about me,\u201d Zhang said. \u201cSo one day, I talked to my partner. I said, \u2018Why don\u2019t we just create a space by ourselves?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of this, Zhang said she tells the professionals performing the treatments not to \u201cpush.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know we want to make money, but we want our customers to really enjoy the moment here,\u201d she said. \u201cYou really want to relax here. Don\u2019t try to push too much. Don\u2019t sell it too much. That\u2019s what I want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two years ago, Zhang had a highly lucrative job in real estate, but she quit two years ago to \u201cslow down\u201d and pursue her dream, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think life is not only about making money; you need to do something. You really have a passion you really love and also help other people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, she wakes up each morning excited to do something she truly loves, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wake up with my passion every day. I tell my store manager, Anna, \u2018I want to stay here the whole day.\u2019 And we both don\u2019t want to leave,\u201d Zhang said. \u201cSometimes I joke with her, \u2018Do you want to sleep here?\u2019 We really love this store and treat it like our home. I treat it like my new baby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zhang calls herself \u201ca girl who loves beautiful stuff, who loves fashion, who loves to live a beautiful life.\u201d In addition to real estate, she has worked as an interior designer and has a background in fashion, including a bachelor\u2019s degree from Savannah College of Art and Design. Her experience with interiors helped her create a specific vision of the store, though she said she had some requests that were difficult to accommodate, including the curved walls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI tortured my general contractor, who said \u2018Oh my god, so hard to do,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cI said, \u2018I want it. Please make it for me.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zhang finds workshop leaders through her own network of professionals she has built through her time in various industries. Recent events have included a seminar with a fashion designer (Zhang\u2019s friend and a fellow SCAD alum), a permanent makeup demonstration on a model, a SCAD alumni reunion, an aroma therapy event and an essential oil workshop. Zhang said she is brainstorming ideas for more workshops, including having a jeweler come in for a workshop about investing in jewelry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also want to create a space where people can share their thoughts, can share their ideas, anything, no matter beauty or life stories, design, jewelry, fashion and even knowledge in business \u2013 everything, like a community,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since August, the store has slowly assembled a customer base \u2013 an intentional choice to allow time for the business to smooth out any hiccups, Zhang said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t do a lot of advertisements so far because as a new store, of course, we need to smooth out everything. I don\u2019t want to do a massive advertisement, then people call me all of a sudden and they don\u2019t have a good experience,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d rather just do it little by little and make sure everybody is happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, Zhang said, the team is ready for a larger customer base. Hence the grand opening on Oct. 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can get everything there,\u201d Zhang said. \u201cIt\u2019s all about the lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n
