Located between residential neighborhoods, public schools, and shopping areas, this location allows our students to practice their skills with a diverse, multi- generational clientele from Madison’s ever-growing west side. To support our students further we have expanded our spa clinic floors and added classroom spaces in an adjacent building at 202 S. Gammon Rd.
