The Institute is beautifully located in downtown Hammond. Hammond has an old nostalgic feel and look with the old style neon lights and outdoor table seating café sidewalk throughout the city. Now imagine the institute in the middle of this passage in time. Absolutely beautiful! Upon entering the doors there was a feeling of warmth and calmness that transported me to an almost trance or daydreaming state. Welcomed by one of the students with an arm and hand massage was the first step in understanding the professionalism instilled at this location. A walk through reflected the clinic, facial rooms and classroom areas. This location even has a courtyard that brings forth a truly rustic ambience that you simply fall in love with. In brief, every brick, mortar, inch of concrete, equipment, towels, etc., has enlightened my desire to return again. Nothing less than 5 stars, yet much more than 5 stars.
