Haley Chaires

I’m Haley. I graduated from Paul Mitchell the School Charleston with a cosmetology license in 2022, but my passion for wellness started way before that. I’m a certified personal trainer and nutritionist, and I’ve always seen health as something that starts from the inside and shows up in your skin. That’s where my love for holistic skincare comes from.

Outside the treatment room, I’m usually in the gym lifting weights, upside down in a yoga pose, or out in nature getting some fresh air. I’m also a certified yoga teacher, meditation and sound therapy provider, and trained in gua sha facial massage, facial cupping, and Lamprobe techniques. I’m Glo2Facial certified, and currently working on a certification with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

I love helping people feel more at home in their skin—for the long run.
