Vanessa Wallace

Administrator/Admissions (Hair Design and Esthetics & Laser)

I have had the pleasure of working for the Utopia Group since 2002. First at Spa Utopia in Langley and now as Administrator at Utopia Academy in Abbotsford.

I have also been passionately involved as a committee member of the Utopia Foundation. Raising money for charities both internationally and locally through the generous help of staff, owners and shareholders has truly enriched my life.

Ana Vila-Cha

Senior Esthetics Instructor

Upon completion of my Esthetics Diploma in 2003, I become a certified esthetician and a member of the CIABC. I completed my Advanced Esthetics Diploma in 2005 which allows me to perform and teach services such as Microdermabrasion, chemical peels and many more. My passion and desire for this industry comes from wanting to always make others feel good about themselves. After working as an esthetician for many years at Spa Utopia & Salon, I decided that I wanted to transfer my passion to students in a nurturing and encouraging environment. It was at this time that I joined Utopia Academy.

I love going to many different spas, you could say it’s a hobby of mine! Extensive world travel has provided me with the opportunity to experience esthetic cultural diversity and share my knowledge of current global trends with students. Other hobbies of mine include reading, movies, music and spending time with my friends and family.
