Jenny Malone Hines - Owner
Starting her career in Esthetics nearly ten years ago, Jenny was unaware of where her new journey would take her. Skin care and the spa business came naturally to her, and everything she learned and experienced as an esthetician felt like second nature. She envisioned one day opening a spa that would go beyond luxury and pampering, she wanted to create a spa that would become a healthy part of people's lives; a place to help achieve balance and wellness.
She worked with several high end day spas, including one that truly focused on total wellness. She is able to draw on these experiences as she opens the Spa. She has used her own personal and professional experiences to create The Falls Day Spa. It is a place for clients to feel welcomed and at home. She believes that everyone should be pampered while getting the results that they are paying for. She also believes that you must address all aspects of well being to achieve balance in your life. She is here to help you achieve these goals.
