Our Team

Hi! My name is Tip, I’m the manager here at The Head Spa Sanctuary. I was raised in Concord, North Carolina then I moved to Virginia Beach in my early 20’s to support my husband in his US Navy career and now we are back down to the Charlotte area! I’ve been a licensed esthetician for about a year now. In my adolescence stage I struggled with acne and how to properly take care of my skin. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to research proper care and help. With that research and knowledge, I enrolled myself in the Chrysm Institute of Esthetics in Virginia and became an esthetician! Being at the spa and seeing the day to day needs from clients really makes me love where I work. I have a deep connection to these clients because some of them are coming in for scalp concerns, whereas I also had concerns about my skin. Just like how I reached out to find proper care and help, our clients at the spa are also reaching out for the same goal. Although, it's quite a relaxing treatment as well, so that’s always a bonus! Outside of the spa, I go to a rock climbing gym with my husband about 3 times a week. It's such a fun and non-traditional way of exercising. Lifting weights can be repetitive! I have two little wiener dogs that I adore very much. I also LOVE cars! Anything from the JDM side of things to the luxury European side, I love it all!!

- What are you passionate about in the beauty industry?

I've always loved the beauty industry because it gave me an opportunity to showcase my strength in my communication skills and treating & styling hair. I love that I get to hear many stories, every day is different and I get to know my clients on a personal level and build a relationship in most cases!

- Why The Head Spa Sanctuary (or why Japanese head spa)

After giving many careers in the cosmetology field a go like lashing, make up and working at a hair salon I found that my true passion was hair CARE. I’ve personally never color treated or done anything to damage my hair because I loved healthy, long, silky & strong hair! I always felt out of place until I found The Head Spa. 

Working at the head spa sanctuary has given me the opportunity to not only be in what feels like my OWN space but also offer a relaxing experience while actually receiving a treatment thats beneficial for your scalp and hair! After many head spas I still get so much satisfaction from seeing my before and after’s, clients reactions & the great feedback!
