hello friend

Welcome to Hope Beauty and Wellness MedSpa, where beauty meets expertise and every client is embraced and cherished. I'm Hope Smith, the founder and creator of our sanctuary of rejuvenation nestled in the heart of St. Petersburg, Florida.​

​

As a BSN Registered Nurse, and a career spanning over 17 years as a licensed esthetician, Xtreme certified advanced lash stylist, and certified Permanent Makeup artist, I've dedicated my life to health, beauty and wellness, and I bring a level of expertise and care to our services that goes beyond the ordinary spa experience.

​

Named after my own journey and dedication to my clients, the Hope Beauty and Wellness MedSpa is more than just a place for treatments; it's a testament to a lifelong commitment to helping you look and feel your best. I understand the unique importance of embracing our natural beauty while prioritizing preventative healthcare.

 RN and Aesthetician

As a wife and mother of four, I empathize with the demands of modern life and the necessity of our self-care. That's why every aspect of our medspa is designed to provide a sanctuary where you can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with your inner radiance.

 

Beyond my professional accolades, I am also a passionate dog lover, who finds joy in the unconditional love of our furry friends. At Hope Beauty and Wellness MedSpa, you'll experience more than just exceptional treatments; you'll become part of a special place that’s dedicated to empowering you to embrace your beauty from the inside out.
