Hannah Childress Trader

Hannah was born and raised in Lyman, South Carolina, and lived there until 2003. Before making Rock Hill home, she spent four years in beautiful Murrells Inlet, where she worked in skincare and fell even more in love with helping people feel their best. She’s been in Rock Hill since 2007 and can’t imagine being anywhere else!

With 26 years of experience in skincare, Hannah truly knows her stuff. She’s certified in all of our Chemical Peels, HydraFacialMD, MicroPeels, Microneedling SkinPen, Potenza RF, Aerolase, Dermaplaning, Lasers, LightStim, and Facials. She’s also certified in Jane Iredale—the mineral makeup line we carry—and she believes in it so much that she’s been using it herself for over 23 years! On top of that, she’s extremely knowledgeable about our SkinCeuticals skincare line and loves helping clients find exactly what works for them.

What Hannah loves most about her job is getting to know her clients. She takes time to listen, understand their goals, and create a skincare plan that’s just right for them. Her friendly, down-to-earth personality has helped her build long-lasting relationships—and a loyal group of happy clients who adore her. Helping people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin is truly her passion.

When she’s not at the spa, you’ll find Hannah with her family. She and her husband, Sam, have two amazing kids—Caleb and Brylea. Caleb keeps the family busy with baseball, while Brylea is always on the go with dance and horseback riding. In her free time, Hannah loves beach trips, cooking out with friends, shopping, decorating, relaxing on the back porch, and snuggling up for movie nights with her favorite people.

Elise Joyner

Hi, I’m Elise Joyner, one of the estheticians here at Pennington Med Spa. I am also a Christian, wife and mom to a beautiful blended family of six…not including my two fur babies.

I began my esthetics journey later in life, and it has become one of my greatest passions. For over five years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping people feel confident in their skin. I’m certified in a range of advanced treatments that address concerns from acne to scarring, and I take pride in guiding each client toward what truly works best for their skin.

My goal is simple: to provide results-driven care with compassion, expertise and a personal touch.
