Our Values
At The Skin Hut meaningful connection and inclusivity is our highest honor because it means we feel cared for, safe and heard. Connection is also part of collaboration because everyone has their own unique skin concerns and we love to customize them!
Connection
Our team is committed to endless education! Researching new products or treatments, in-depth education and hands-on experience with science-based skin care is how we produce magnificent results for our clients.
Education
We’re mindful that we are all the stewards of our sacred land. We’re committed to minimizing our impact to ensure it's a gift for generations to come.
Sustainability
Positivity
When we feel positive, we often feel more patient, compassionate and willing to help. That’s why positivity is woven into every aspect of our spa experience; its influence ripples into our families, friends and community.
We’re here to be your guide during your journey of wellness and skin health because we understand the volume of misinformation online is overwhelming. Our team strength is built on helping clients determine skin trends vs skin science.
