Meet Our Staff

Debbie MacDonald

Owner

Welcome… I was raised in Franklin by supportive parents and a fun, loving sister, Doreen who is also an Electrologist at the Spa. In 1971 I attended Kenneth’s Hair Design in Framingham then worked as a hairdresser for Rose’s Beauty Salon for 2 years. I later attended Eleanor Roberts Electrology Institute in Boston in 1975 where I found my niche; I loved it! I opened my first location in Framingham in 1976 and later that year married my husband, Joe. Together we have 4 children; 3 sons and one daughter. In 1982 I opened my Hopedale location and in 2003 Mac Med Hair & Nail Salon & Mac Med Spa in Milford were opened. Our Daughter, Brittany is also an Electrologist, Aesthetician & Laser Technician at the Spa. In 2008 our Medical Building, Mac Medical in Milford was opened. I’ve been very blessed with a rich, full life enjoying the Spa, family and our Granddaughter, Gemma. My staff and I look forward to pampering you; our goal is to make your day better!
