If there's one thing Danielle Szymanski and her husband Dale have in common, it's a love of helping people. Danielle found an outlet for that love early on, when she got her cosmetology license after attending separate schools for hair and nails to reap the best education possible, worked backstage at a number of hair shows, and eventually opened Splash Hair Design & Spa in 2006. Dale took a little longer. As only a significant other could, Danielle knew that Dale had a real gift for massage, and repeatedly tried to convince him to attend school to hone his talent. After four years, he finally relented and registered for the Wisconsin School of Massage Therapy, where he earned the nickname Magic Hands, graduated, and soon began performing tension-melting massages for clients at Splash.
At their stylish salon and spa, Danielle and Dale oversee a team of independent contractors with a minimum of five years of experience apiece as they beautify, pamper, and soothe each client that walks through the door. On the sun-drenched stylists' floor decked in flowing window treatments and a hand-painted mural, clients kick back in cushy black chairs as hairdressers enhance locks with flattering cuts, vibrant color, transformative texture treatments, and formal styles for weddings and teddy-bear weddings. A cluster of tranquil treatment rooms beckon guests in for pore-purifying facials, waxing services, and of course, Dale's legendary massage treatments, which one client attests are enough to make her drool.
