Zsuzsanna Beyer
Owner | Licensed Esthetician
Growing up in picturesque Budapest and later studying in Germany has given Zsuzsanna an extraordinary worldview. It’s something she loves to share with her clients every day.
“I am so passionate about my work,” says Zsuzsanna. Her beautiful and soothing spa combines meticulous European skin care practices with an American focus on the total restorative experience.
“When our clients come in,” says Zsuzsanna, “I want them to feel like they have been on a mini-vacation. After an hour or two of treatments with us, you can get a fresh start and a new spark. What makes us different is the level of care here,” she says. “That’s why our tagline is ‘Beauty with a heart.’ I have an amazing staff. Family and teamwork is what it’s all about.”
Though owning and running a business is challenging, she savors all aspects of the role. Zsuzsanna speaks four languages and studied hospitality and business with a focus on art history. Her work ethic and tenacity come from her mother, Andrea, and grandmother, she says.
“Growing up, I was an athlete,” she says. “I was a swimmer and a runner and that helped to make me tough on the inside. My grandmother, Emila, taught me to always do the work first, then do the fun part. That lesson has stayed with me. I think that’s why I have such a strong work ethic.”
Zsuzsanna first arrived in the Philadelphia area in 1996. She began her skincare career at a popular European spa in Wayne, PA. Several years later, the ownership there changed. She knew it was the right time to follow her dream, take the leap, and open her first business.
“I’m always positive and see the glass half-full,” she says. “I wanted the focus of my spa to be a warm, friendly, and calming place where people can come to escape from the daily stress of life.” Today she is serving clients that she has had for years, as well as welcoming those coming in for the first time. “Taking care of my clients and working with my amazing coworkers is pure joy,” says Zsuzsanna. “This is what I always wanted to do.”

“I like helping them understand how to improve the condition of their skin and to help them age gracefully.” Renee has applied her skills for over a decade with Day Spa by Zsuzsanna. She calls the spa a relaxing, hidden oasis. “It’s not only the care we give our clients that makes us so different,” she says. “It’s that our clients know that we care about them. Beauty really comes through the heart. It’s our slogan. But the true meaning, I caught that from Zsuzsanna.”
Communication is the key to success, she says. “I always ask the client what they are looking for and then I try my best to meet or exceed what they want. I am always working with them to give them what they need. I am most pleased when the client and I can both see the results.” When she is not at the spa, Renee, a woman of faith, loves to spend time with her family, especially her four adorable grandchildren. She is a Zumba enthusiast, enjoys healthful cooking and staying active. A few of her favorite activities are biking and hiking.
