CAROL HANKIN
Carol has been a practicing Licensed Esthetician for over 18 years. Her goal has always been to address her clients’ skin care concerns and objectives. She is passionate about assisting her clients in creating their vision for their skin and creating healthier, smoother, luminous, more even toned and glowing skin. She is a great listener and through asking questions will determine the best course of treatment in the treatment room and at home. She will analyze the clients’ skin each and every time they come in for a service; never assuming that the skin is the same. Climate, everyday stress or life- style impacts skin.
She has attended numerous product and technology trainings to keep well informed and provide the best treatment for the client. She has researched amazing skin care for her clients based upon longevity of the company, research and development and clinical results tested only on humans. These products are designed to be biomimetic so that the key actives are recognized by the skin to create change and bring about results and not just sit on the surface.
Her treatments are an example of her attention to detail. She loves assisting the clients in achieving their skin care goals but also to be totally relaxed after treatment. The clients are welcomed by a warmed bed with a hand and arm massage with warming mitts applied. She will often utilize hot stones and cold spoons during massage if time permits. She uses essential oils to further calm and soothe while soft relaxing music plays in the background. Regardless of the treatment on that day, you will be sure to always get her best each and every time.
When Carol is not in her treatment room, she enjoys spending time with her family and her two dogs. She enjoys reading, spinning on her Peloton, lifting weights, gardening and preparing delicious food for family and friends.
