CD Danza Salon & SpaThe great thing about style is no matter who you are
you’ve got some! At CD Danza our expertise lies in ourability to connect with our clients as individuals to
ultimately make the right creative connections.
Yes we’re over � fty! But we still havecleavage, passion and � re inside…SOSTOP CALLING US MAAM! Ladies, life’stoo short to skimp on skincare…Wehighly recommend rejuvenating CDDanza European Facials.
Sure…I’m a successful type A careerfocused woman. I just make sure that I geta massage once a week at CD Danza Salon &Spa to help put that in check. I bet you’dnever guess I’m also soft and pretty onSunday afternoons.
Did you know that I’m brilliant. Really, I am agenius and not because I have greathair…although it helps my big brain feel reallygood about itself.
To be or not to be…that is the question. What?Did you think I’d want to talk about boys,Britney Spears and bubblegum the whole time Iwas getting my hair foiled?
I have a cute haircut. It’s true. People assumebecause I’m sooooo cute I must be sweet aswell…but remember Tinkerbell was a brat and Idon’t carry pixie dust in my purse…but I docarry CD Danza Signature Pomade.
I’m Cheryl Danza and I’ve spent thelast eight years working hard tocreate a salon & spa where peoplecome together to look and feelgreat. But what’s most important isthe joy of being a mother to my son.
My hair is sassy and adventurous like me. I lovemy hair looking stylish…but what’s a girl to dowith unruly hair while scaling Mt. Rainier? Carry atub of CD Danza Curl Balm of course!
I’m proud to be a “soccer mom” but I’malso sexy, smart and hardly desperate. Itreat myself to CD Danza Salon & Spabecause making myself a priority is justas important as anything.
Most women hate me because I’m beautifuland have a � at stomach…but I crave chocolatejust like every other girl…I just get pedicuresinstead.
At CD Danza Salon & Spa we will never put you in a box .
es it’s about looking and feeling great. But it’s also about � nding a place that feels special.
Danza is a place where people invest the time to see you as we really are:
