With multiple types of mimosas, hot chocolate and Baileys Irish Cream behind the counter, Sandra V Bath & Body sometimes feels like comedy hour, employee Renea Cook said. The store sells a variety of products, including scented soaps, bath bombs, candles and scrubs that are all handmade, but owner Sandra Vandegaer says some customers come in looking for something else.
The setup: Inside the shop lie tables and shelves full of products, as well as wooden countertops with a transparent screen where products are made.
Customers can sit on a bar stool and watch the process or request their own custom product, all while enjoying the playful banter between Vandegaer, Cook and the third employee, Parker Sills.
Something to note: Vandegaer said she does a deep search on all her suppliers to make sure the ingredients she buys are collected in a certain way.
