This was my first time visiting Catherine Hinds for a facial. I found all the staff to be welcoming and the facility was spotless. The esthetician student, Ruby, was excellent, explaining what she was planning for my care, as well as the instructor, MaryBeth, was attentive and made additional suggestions based on my skin. I felt I was a valued customer and plan on rebooking another session after the holidays. ThanksAgain !

I am currently attending CHI, and it has been the most amazing experience! The teachers are always willing to help and stand by students if they aren’t comfortable doing a service. All of my teachers have been absolutely amazing! They are so thorough, and kind. There’s a spa tech five minutes down the street, but I still chose to go to Catherine Hinds (an hour away) and I will forever be glad I did! The admins, teachers, and my classmates are all amazing!

Founder Catherine Hinds is considered one of the earliest female beauty industry entrepreneurs and was an early promoter of exfoliation. This could be because of Hinds' scientific view of skincare, as she thought skincare was about health, as much as it was about beauty.
She ran the school until 2001, when her daughter, An, took the reins. One of her granddaughters is also an esthetician. So, this is truly a family passion.
To this day, the Catherine Hinds Institute focuses exclusively on esthetics. It uses a robust and cutting-edge curriculum to help its students leave the school ready for the workforce.
