The Student Spa

Open to the public. Supervised by instructors.

Every service in our spa is performed by a student in their clinical hours with an instructor beside them — which is why the pricing looks the way it does. Facials, hydrofacials, manicures, pedicures, waxing, lash lifts, and brow lamination.
