Women Who Move West Michigan – 2026 – Special Section
Four years ago, BENJI Salon & Spa was just a vision of three friends who wanted to bring a completely different spa experience to the Standale/Walker area. Today, it’s not only become a well-known name; it’s also expanded to a 40-member salon and spa offering a range of services from hair, lashes, and microblading to massages, facials, and waxing. In 2025, BENJI joined forces with Remedy+, a med spa that specializes in injectables, weight loss, and facials/peels. BENJI founders Amy Jones, Amanda Stafford, and Lindsey Smit couldn’t be happier — or more proud. After all, their growth and numerous accolades have been a result of their hard work, quality skill sets, team collaboration, and mutual respect.
“This wouldn’t work without all of us,” says owner Amy Jones. “We all contribute in our own way, and we lean on each other for each other’s strengths. It’s truly a gift to work with a group of women who support and empower each other in all aspects of life!”
Providing a warm, welcoming environment, along with top-notch amenities, BENJI Salon & Spa is a place where clients want to spend the day being pampered. It’s also a space that holds the community at its heart. With its VIP program, it gives away $500 gift cards to nurses, teachers, school support staff, moms, and other deserving people who have been nominated by a colleague or loved one. Additionally, BENJI Salon & Spa gives back to a number of schools and organizations in the greater Walker area, continuing to show its appreciation for its neighbors.
