Hannah Buss

Master Esthetician and Certified Laser Technician

Hannah is a Nebraska native who made the move to Virginia in 2020. After spending 16 wonderful years as a dedicated stay-at-home mom, she followed her passion for skincare and graduated from Plush School of Esthetics as a Master Aesthetician and Certified Laser Technician.

She specializes in delivering transformative results that enhance and maintain the skin's long-term health. When she’s not in the treatment room, you’ll find her soaking up family time with her husband and five amazing kids or managing her Airbnb in the Outer Banks — where she brings her love of hospitality and coastal charm to life.
