Lindsey
Spa Manager
Lindsey is the operational heartbeat of Banyan & Bamboo. She ensures every client experience — from the first phone call to checkout — is seamless, warm, and exactly what it should be. Her attention to detail and genuine care for clients is what makes the difference between a good spa and a great one.
Sami
Advanced Medical Esthetician & Laser Tech
With over 6 years of experience and a background in leading esthetics teams, Sami brings a meticulous, results-driven approach to every treatment. Originally from Denver, she traded the mountains for Austin and has been helping clients achieve real skin results ever since. She specializes in DiamondGlow facials, dermaplaning, and microneedling — blending clinical precision with a warm, spa-day energy that makes every visit feel as good as it looks.
Ashley
Advanced Licensed Esthetician
Ashley brings five years of esthetics and laser experience from the Dallas market to Austin, and she is exactly the kind of provider Banyan and Bamboo was built around. Skin care has been her passion from the start, and that shows in how she approaches every client: with genuine curiosity, clinical precision, and a commitment to helping each person achieve their best skin. She specializes in advanced facial treatments, dermaplaning, and customized skin protocols. Austin, she is here for you.
Sulema
Licensed Massage Therapist, LMT
Sulema is the heart of our massage program. With deep expertise in therapeutic and relaxation massage, she has a rare ability to read what the body needs and respond with both technical skill and genuine care. Clients consistently describe her work as transformative — and book her out weeks in advance.
Lauren
Licensed Massage Therapist, LMT
Lauren blends clinical knowledge with intuitive touch to deliver massage therapy that makes a real difference. With over 6 years of experience and a background in top-tier Austin spas, she specializes in deep tissue, Swedish, prenatal, sports massage, and reflexology. Her sessions begin with a thorough intake so every treatment is built around how your body actually functions — not a generic routine. She believes massage should support long-term wellness, and her clients leave not just feeling better, but understanding their bodies better.
Garrett
Licensed Massage Therapist, LMT
Garrett grew up on a Texas farm, the kind of upbringing that teaches you early what hard work does to a body. Before finding his calling in massage therapy, he explored art school, landscaping, customer service, and office work, each chapter sharpening his understanding of how differently people carry stress and physical strain. That background is exactly what he brings to every session. He has a particular appreciation for clients in physically demanding careers: tradespeople, athletes, caregivers, anyone who earns their exhaustion. He found in massage therapy what he had been looking for all along, a space defined by peace, intention, and the quiet satisfaction of helping someone leave lighter than they arrived.
Scarlett
Head Spa Specialist
Scarlett is the heart of our head spa program. Currently in cosmetology school, she brings a unique combination of formal training and hands-on scalp health expertise that makes her genuinely exceptional at what she does. Her deep scalp massage is one of the most talked-about treatments at Banyan & Bamboo — clients describe it as unlike anything they have experienced anywhere else. She closes every head spa session with her signature French braid, and people absolutely adore her for it.
The Space
Designed to feel different
From the moment you walk in, the experience is intentional. Warm, quiet, and nothing like a typical spa or clinic.
Medical Oversight
Dr. David L. Sneed, MD
Dr. Sneed brings 28+ years of experience in Austin aesthetic medicine to his role as Medical Director of Banyan & Bamboo. Board-certified and recognized by US News as a top physician in Texas, he provides the clinical foundation and oversight that ensures every treatment we offer meets the highest standard of safety and efficacy.
