Barbering

Spa Tech Institute is a leading massage, esthetician, stylist and polarity school with four total locations. We offer massage, esthetics, cosmetology, barbering, and nail tech programs.

Spa Tech Institute was created in 2001 with the merger of Headhunter II School of Cosmetology, founded in 1976, and the Polarity Realization Institute, founded in 1980 by Nancy Risley.

The school currently has four locations in North Andover, Plymouth, Westboro, Massachusetts and Westbrook, Maine. Nancy is the founder of Polarity Realization which evolved into Spa Tech Institute.

As a leader in the industry of energy work, Nancy was on the first Committee of Standards of Practice for Polarity Therapy in 1989. She was one of the first Registered Polarity Practitioners (RPP), Board Certified Polarity Practitioners (BCPP) and Educators (RPE).

Along with those achievements, she was also the first chairperson of the Certified Governing Board for Polarity Therapy and was honored by the American Polarity Therapy Association for being a leader in the industry

 Additionally, Nancy developed her own body of work known as RYSE (Realizing Your Sublime Energies). Nancy is the author of RYSE, Tools for Life. She and her teaching team have produced over 28 books for massage, polarity, and aesthetics and 14 RYSE meditation recordings.
