Behind The Scenes

Benessere' Salon & Spa Suites was founded by salon owners , Janet and Cass D’Amato. For 38+ years Janet has been behind the chair as a hard-working stylist. She understands all aspects of this rewarding and challenging industry. Janet has worked in Waukesha and Pewaukee based salons in her career, and has also been an educator with Redken and Scruples,. Janet is proud to be a salon owner, and has been actively mentoring business entrepreneurs for 20+ years. Cass has worked in the trades for more than three decades, and has vast experience with rental property management. Cass is the builder for Benessere’ Salon & Spa Suites, and will also serve as the “in house” maintenance technician. Together Cass and Janet combine to form a dynamic team!

In 2004, Janet’s first salon, "Salon Brillare" was born out of her passion for helping people grow their own individual businesses. Salon Brillare' has grown several times within Grandview Plaza, at 1840 Meadow Lane Pewaukee. In 2020, the Damato’s knew that there was a change evolving in the beauty industry. Independent professionals were pushing for more autonomy, and privates spaces for their own ”micro-salons”. It took quite awhile to find and build out the right location. In 2023 Cass and Janet jumped into the salon suite leasing business when the first 9 suites at Benessere Salon & Spa Suites opened in April of 2023. The next phase of construction comprised of 16 more suites that opened in September of 2025. They anticipate the completion of 10 additional suites for Phase 3 construction by Summer 2026. We have opened the doors to a fun, and upbeat venue for independent beauty and wellness professionals to call home. When you lease a salon suite at Benessere' Salon & Spa Suites, you will have the peace of mind, knowing that a "hands on", career hairstylist will be at the helm, with a property management professional “on-site”.
