Licensed, award-winning, and locally loved, including two Marine veterans and an owner who is an esthetician herself.
A native of Ypsilanti, Michigan, Alyssa began her career in esthetics after graduating from the prestigious Douglas J. Aveda Institute in Ann Arbor, and quickly became Lead Esthetician at her first spa before relocating to North Carolina to follow her passion for skincare. Specializing in custom facials and precise brow shaping, she blends goal-oriented results with the relaxation and pampering of a classic spa facial, and her eye for symmetry brings a softened, balanced frame to the face. She is committed to continually learning as the skincare industry evolves, and to empowering others to embrace and love the skin they are in.
Alexis began in the beauty industry in 2008 at cosmetology school in New York. Feeling called to serve, she joined the United States Marine Corps, then returned to her passion and completed an esthetics program, becoming licensed in 2013. Since then she has earned advanced certifications including skin revision, skin nutrition, acne care, dermaplaning, and advanced chemical peels and waxing, and she holds three lash certifications. Her passion is giving every client the tools they need to achieve their best skin possible.
Born and raised in Minnesota, Kara earned her Advanced Practice Esthetician license at Nova Academy of Cosmetology. She spent two years running her own successful beauty business and another refining her craft at a high-end luxury spa before bringing her passion for skin and beauty to her new home. While she loves all things beauty and self-care, her specialties are precision brow shaping and custom eyelash extensions. Her goal is to make your beauty goals a reality, and for every client to walk out feeling relaxed, refreshed, and radiating confidence.
Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Kristina served an eight-year tenure with the United States Marine Corps before channeling her energy into massage therapy, graduating from the Pittsburgh School of Massage in 2011. Proficient in many modalities, she focuses on neuromuscular therapy and sports massage, and her clients have ranged from service members and teachers to teen athletes, medical professionals, and even the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kristina tailors every session to the individual, working to relieve chronic pain and restore optimal muscle function so you feel and perform your best.

Tiffany is dedicated to helping clients relieve pain, reduce stress, and restore balance to both body and mind.

Jasen customizes each massage to your needs and goals, promoting holistic wellness through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual harmony. Sessions may draw from Swedish and therapeutic massage, myofascial release, structural balancing and integration, guided meditation, breathing practices, lymphatic drainage, trigger points, hot stone massage, energy healing, and reflexology.

Shanika believes massage is an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, reconnect with your body, and let go of everyday stress. Her journey began as a nail technician at a local spa, where caring for others sparked a passion for wellness, and the more she learned about the body and therapeutic touch, the more she knew massage therapy was where she belonged. Every session is customized to your goals, whether that is pain relief, relaxation, or simply restoring balance, and her aim is for every client to leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and at ease.
