The Story

Two massage beds in a treatment room with windows, yellow curtains, and green plants.

Founded within the award-winning The Hue Solution Spa in Durham, NC, The Hue Institute was established to empower licensed professionals, esthetician students, and beauty enthusiasts to reach their full potential.

At The Hue Institute, we don’t just teach techniques—we inspire careers, creativity, and a passion for excellence. Our goal is to prepare students to thrive in every corner of the beauty industry, whether advancing their skills, building their own spa, or excelling in professional esthetics.

The Mission & The Vision

A group of people in a skincare class, with a woman in the center applying a facial mask on a man with closed eyes. Other participants are observing and taking notes.

The Mission

To provide clinical-inspired, hands-on education, mentorship, and real-world experience that bridges the gap between the classroom and professional practice. We believe that quality education should be accessible, practical, and transformative. Through small class sizes, flexible learning options, and ongoing mentorship, we ensure every student receives the attention, guidance, and confidence needed to succeed.

The Vision

At The Hue Institute, we aim to cultivate a new generation of beauty professionals who are not only skilled in their craft but also empowered to lead, innovate, and build successful businesses that serve all communities and skin hues with integrity and excellence.
