Hanna April
Aesthetician
Hanna April graduated from cosmetology school in 2015 and went on to become a top-tier master stylist. While she still loves doing hair, and currently works at Mauve Salon in Cherry Creek, she has decided to pursue her other passion – skin. Hanna became interested in skin care at a young age. Her mother used to have her wear full protection swimsuits that covered her body and half her legs and arms. Tanning in tanning booths was an absolute no. Hanna and her sister used to love to give each other facials, and having friend sleepovers where everyone did facial masks was a common thing.
What appeals to Hanna the most about doing facials and skin care is the peaceful environment and relaxing feeling she creates for both her and her patient. Come enjoy a facial with Hanna today.
