Messages From Our Staff

The staff of Exotic Escape Spa and Salon in Davenport, Iowa are highly trained professionals. They are trained in a variety of techniques and are all board-certified licensed professionals. Their focus is to make you look and feel your best.

Amanda Wheeler, Manager , Nail Tech and

Licensed Massage Therapist

“I would like to thank you for your business and support for the past 11 years. I've been practicing the art of massage therapy for over 20 years and nail technology for 12 years. Running the business is my true passion as the Spa Manager. I also feel that doing pedicures and manicures is a fun way to get to know my clients. I really enjoy tailoring a routine based on each client’s 

specific needs.


I also enjoy incorporating different techniques into each massage, and I'm also interested in less common modalities. Problem-focused sessions involving the neck, shoulder, and low back pain are just some of my best works.


When a client wants to escape, my ultimate goal is to make his or her massage an unforgettable experience while producing a significant therapeutic change. My modalities include Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, reflexology, sports massage, relaxation 

massage, etc.”

Tara Nemitz,

Licensed Cosmetologists

“Hello, Quad Cities! I consider myself as “the long hair expert,” and I would love to help you discover your true beauty!


I've been working at Exotic Escape Spa and Salon since 2009. I have been practicing the art of cosmetology for more than 8 years, and I really enjoy exploring my creative side with dimensional colors. My techniques also allow me to create some of the most natural-looking colors for my clients. It’s important for me to enhance my skills and provide my guests with fashion-forward cuts and colors.


I enjoy helping my clients discover their true beauty, and I want them to feel like a new and improved version of themselves upon leaving our salon. My services include women and men's haircuts, hair color, highlights, dimensional color, balayage, corrective color, styles, blow-outs, formal styles, bridal styles, manicures, pedicures, shellac, facials, body, and facial waxing.”

Marcy Kollin, Licensed Cosmetologist

“Hi, my name is Marcy! I specialize in creating looks that fit each client’s life and style. My favorite thing to do in the art of cosmetology is to bring out a person’s natural beauty by picking cuts and colors that complement his or her face shape and skin tone. I am a great listener and make sure everyone who sits in my chair is my number one priority!


I love doing what I do because I get to make people feel good about themselves from the moment they come in until the moment they leave. I have had a passion for hair since I was a little girl and took it to the next level by attending Capri Cosmetology. I continue my education by keeping up with the latest trends and styles and attending

regular classes.


My services include women, men, and child haircuts, hair color, hairstyles, and up-dos, facials, face waxing, pedicures, manicures, and eyebrow waxing.”

“Passionate about the health care field, becoming a massage therapist was the perfect fit for me. I have been told that I have the perfect balance between pressure and relaxation. I have been practicing massage for over  12 years. I also have a great rapport with my

growing clientele.


My time as a massage therapist has allowed me to help clients relieve pain, stress, and body discomfort. My down-to-earth personality makes it natural for my clients to feel at ease with me.


Whether it’s your first massage or you happen to be a massage connoisseur, I will combine specific techniques from different modalities to make your experience perfect. My modalities include reflexology, prenatal, aromatherapy, Swedish, warm stone, and

deep tissue.”
