Meet the Cabana Crew

Hannah is the founder of The Cabana, and the reason it exists. What started in 2015 with a single spray tan machine and clients in her living room grew into downtown Sanford’s award winning day spa and a collective of independent pros she’s proud to call the Cabana Crew.

A licensed esthetician certified in VI Peel, Advanced Microneedling, and Procell Microchanneling, Hannah specializes in corrective skincare: acne, pigment, and aging skin that ordinary facials haven’t fixed. She doesn’t believe in one size fits all. PCA Skin is her number one product line, with VI Peel and Procell reserved for the advanced work, but every plan she writes is customized to the skin in front of her, both in the treatment room and at home. Every client leaves with a plan, not just a glow.

At the heart of it, Hannah just loves people. Helping others grow and glow is why she does what she does, whether that’s a client’s skin, a Cabana Crew member building her own business, or a stranger who leaves as a friend. Outside the studio she’s a mom, a business owner, an educator, and a proud autism and special needs advocate. She built The Cabana the way she builds skin: patiently, intentionally, and for the long run.

Meet Kristina, our lash and waxing specialist who’s all about helping you feel confident and beautiful in your own skin. As a licensed esthetician, she’s mastered the art of creating flawless brows and stunning lashes that enhance your natural beauty.

Kristina’s passion shines through in every service, whether she’s perfecting a lash lift, sculpting the perfect brow shape, or providing smooth, precise waxing. She believes that when you look good, you feel good, and she’s dedicated to making sure every client leaves feeling like their best self.

When she’s not at The Cabana, you’ll find Kristina living life in the fast lane. Literally. Racing is in her blood, and she loves everything from racing her own car to hitting the track and checking out car shows. As a Halloween-loving married mom of two beautiful girls, she knows how to balance the thrill of the race with the joy of family time and making memories.

Kristina brings that same energy and attention to detail to every appointment, creating a welcoming space where you can relax and trust you’re in expert hands.

Book with Kristina for lashes and waxing that’ll have you feeling fierce.

TONYA POUNDS, FNP, Owner of Magnolia Healthcare & Aesthetics.

Born and raised just outside Raleigh, North Carolina, Tonya earned her Undergraduate in Education at East Carolina University. Upon graduation, Tonya attended Wake Technical Community College, where she became a Registered Nurse and joined the Neurology/PACU team at UNC REX Hospital.

While employed at REX, her passion for serving others through healthcare prompted her to earn her BSN and MSN, FNP-C from South University in Savannah, Georgia. From 2017 to 2022, Tonya was employed as a Nurse Practitioner in both Anesthesia at Wake Med and NiteLite Pediatric Urgent Care in the evenings. In 2021, Tonya earned her certification in aesthetics at the Laser Institute in Charlotte.

In November of 2022, Tonya opened the doors to Magnolia Healthcare & Aesthetics, a privately owned medical and aesthetics facility serving all walks of life.

When Tonya is not working, you can find her traveling, soaking up the salty air of the NC coast, working out, or spending time with her fur babies and/or nieces and nephews (all of whom she loves to spoil!).

Book with Tonya for expert medical aesthetics backed by years of healthcare experience.

Availability at The Cabana

Tonya visits The Cabana the second Tuesday of every month to provide injectables, IV hydration, medical weight loss, BHRT, and peptide therapy to the Sanford area. Appointments fill quickly. We recommend booking at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance.

If a 2nd Tuesday doesn’t work for you, Tonya also sees patients at her main practice, Magnolia Healthcare & Aesthetics in Clayton, NC, and at other partner locations in Dunn and Coats.

Before your first appointment

For BHRT and Medical Weight Loss visits, please call Tonya’s office at (919) 243-1910 before your first appointment to complete your new patient intake.

Meet Lauryn, our nail technician who’s all about healthy nails and creative expression. A 2024 graduate of Fayetteville Technical Community College, this Western Harnett native now calls Sanford home, and we’re lucky to have her at The Cabana.

Lauryn specializes in natural nail health, helping clients build strong, beautiful nails from the inside out. But don’t let her focus on nail care fool you: she also loves showcasing her artistic side with custom nail art that’s as unique as you are. Whether you’re after a classic, polished look or something bold and creative, Lauryn’s got the skills to bring your vision to life.

When she’s not perfecting manicures, you’ll find Lauryn living her best life: relaxing poolside or at the beach with a cocktail in hand, diving into a good book, or spending quality time with her husband (her high school sweetheart since 2020), her cats, and her favorite people. She’s always experimenting with fun TikTok recipes and hunting down the latest beauty secrets to share with her clients.

Lauryn brings warmth, creativity, and genuine care to every appointment, making sure you leave with nails you’ll love showing off.

Book with Lauryn for nails that are healthy, beautiful, and totally you.

I’m a mom of two, a proud military spouse, and a dog mom, so I know how important it is to take a little time for yourself! I spent five years working in dermatology, where I discovered my passion for skincare and helping others feel confident in their skin.

I especially enjoy creating personalized skincare experiences that leave clients feeling refreshed, cared for, and glowing. My goal is for every client to leave feeling relaxed, confident, and excited about their skin. When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family or loving on our dog!
