Our Reviews

“I discovered this gem on my most recent visit to HHI and actually booked two treatments while I was here! The students are very sweet and professional. It does not feel like you are in a “school”, but a high end spa. I had a back treatment done by Taylor – it was so relaxing! Then I came back for a Microderm Facial with Daquiri, which was amazing. She really took the time to find out what my concerns were and made sure I understood everything she used. My face felt like baby skin when I left! She was so kind and it was truly a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to return.”
