Public Educator Steps Into Entrepreneurship, Opening First Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa in Pleasant View, Utah

Pleasant View, Utah — October 4, 2025 – Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, the nation’s leading massage and skincare franchise, proudly announces the grand opening of its newest location in Pleasant View, Utah, located at 410 West 2650 North. This marks the eighth Hand & Stone spa in Utah, furthering the brand’s mission to make professional, affordable wellness services accessible across the state.

The Pleasant View Hand & Stone Spa is owned and operated by Kamara Edes, a longtime public educator turned entrepreneur. After dedicating 25 years to teaching, Kamara was inspired by her sister’s success as a Hand & Stone owner in Boise, Idaho, and decided to bring the same rejuvenating experience to her own community in northern Utah.

“As a public educator for 25 years, a day at the spa always felt like a luxury. That’s why I wanted to open a Hand & Stone in my community,” said Kamara Edes, owner of Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa Pleasant View. “Hand & Stone’s accessible and friendly model makes self-care feel less like a luxury and more like an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.”
