Vanessa brings 19 years of experience and passion to The Skin Hut and strives to enhance the health and beauty that is within each of her clients. Her background in Esthetics began in San Diego, CA in 2007. Upon graduating from Esthetics school, she practiced in a medical spa setting performing high performance skin care services along side incredible Dr’s and nurses in the field. In 2011, Vanessa returned to Hawaii to submerge herself into natural Hawaiian skin care services that promote healthy skin in a more holistic approach. While working at a premier luxury spa in Waikiki, her focus was to provide attentive care and exceptional customer service with a personalized touch to each guest.
On her free time Vanessa enjoys taking her rescue pup Koko to the beach, thrift shopping for boho inspired gems, practicing yoga, taking spin classes, and surfing with her partner Andrew.

Mariolga is licensed in 6 different states and has worked in a multitude of different settings. Her goal is always to combine amazing results with the most relaxing treatments.

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.
