Black Owned in Rochester Weekly Newsletter

Good Day Rochester!

Happy Thursday! We’ve completed the first pass of updates on ALL of the listings on the directory. Whew I’m glad that’s complete. However, the work is never truly done and we’ll be doing some updates on site navigation, pages, and graphics. Stay tuned and keep shopping Black owned and leaving reviews. Your reviews really do help!

Here’s a recent one left on Voluminous Moon Wellness Spa

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Professional and Caring

Melinda, the owner, exemplifies excellence in service by prioritizing individualized care and offering high-quality products and equipment that ensure customer satisfaction. The atmosphere of the establishment is exceptional—meticulously sanitized and conducive to providing a respite from the stresses of the outside world. Melinda’s gentle approach creates a calming environment, where clients can receive their wellness treatments. Every session enhances my experience, and I consistently leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
