I’m Vanessa Ntabona, the proud founder and owner of The Modern Hue LLC. Nestled in the heart of Gwinnett County, Northern Georgia, my exclusive Skin Care Spa offers a serene and private treatment experience, tailored to VIP clients, yet open to new customers.  I seek and prepare personalized professional skincare solutions for all skin types, conditions and ages, as a board-certified skin care therapist. I know that is a mouthful, but two decades of services grants me the blessing and the ability to offer my community plenty. Hi, nice to meet You! I look forward to meeting in person this year!

Allow me to properly introduce myself. I was born on the beautiful island of Jamaica in the 1980s, and raised near the stunning mountain landscapes of upstate NY in the 1990s. Since 2017 I relocated to the peachy state of GA.

My higher education journey began in Albany, NY, where I achieved my Bachelor's Degree in Communication & Rhetoric, African Studies, and English. During my junior year, I was inspired by the world of entrepreneurship and captivated by the importance of wellness and self-care all at the same time. This early enlightenment led me to follow a rich career in clinical skin care, dedicated to health and wellness.
 
Between 2004 and 2006, I immersed myself in the art of esthetics, studying, researching, and ultimately building my own skin care business from the ground up. I received my certification from the Aesthetic Science Institute in Latham, NY, and have been licensed as a Skin Care Therapist in both NY and Georgia.

My studies extend to the International Dermal Institute, which deepened my expertise beyond the basics of skin care. Having battled severe acne throughout my teenage years and into adulthood, I became a Skin Care Therapist to help myself as well as others. My mission has always been clear, healing is daily. My work has positively impacted thousands of clients, enhancing their skin health and overall wellness across the East Coast and internationally.

Through The Modern Hue Skin Care Spa, I offer personalized skin care consultations and treatments that cater to individual needs. Clients appreciate the tranquil environment I create, where they can learn, revitalize, repair and receive the support necessary during periods of change and struggle.

I provide natural health supplements, in-office treatments and online telecare, ensuring accessibility to great skin care information for everyone. My curated collection of premium medical-grade vegan products allows clients to maintain their skin care routines at home, reinforcing the idea that skin care and self-care are essential lifestyle practices. Healthy habits are essential. Skin care is a daily service and gift we give to ourselves. Maintenance is key. Treatments are helpful when necessary. Pairing both makes for a super selfcare lifestyles that keeps us young and full of vitality.

I specialize in a range of issues, including all stages of acne, rapid aging, sensitive skin, eczema, and uneven complexions. With over 30,000 clinical hours in the wellness and beauty field, I focus on habits, patterns, and mindsets that influence overall health, leading to long-term healing.

I am proud to be a pioneering Esthetician featured in Milady Cengage textbooks since 2008, bequeathing techniques and influential methods that have set high industry standards over the last 20 years.

I have gained invaluable experience working with esteemed companies like MAC Cosmetics, Austin School of Spa Technolgy, Ulta Store, Sally's Beauty Store, European Wax Center, American Laser Center, and countless spa companies.

Initially, I entered the spa industry to achieve my own calm mind, clear skin, and balanced energy and I have achieved just that and more. Having dealt with cystic acne since the age of 15, I understand the profound impact that troubled skin, stress, poor diet, over medication, and unbalanced hormones can have on one's well-being and quality of life.

Now I'm over 40 years old, and I encourage you to never underestimate the interconnectivity of your life. I have conquered many skin care hurdles, illness and diss-ease of my own, and have beat them all. Having book smart knowledge is wonderful, but having real-life experience makes a world of difference, when it comes to relating, understanding, empathizing and treating others. I am confident in my ability to guide clients toward clear skin and holistic wellness at any age, stage or circumstance.
