I had a pampering deep tissue massage experience that combines the therapeutic pressure of deep tissue work with relaxing, spa-like comfort. The massage usually began in a calm setting with soft music, warm lighting, aromatherapy scents, heated towels, a warm massage table. Darby used firm, slow strokes and focused pressure to work into deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This helps release chronic tension, tight knots, stiffness, and stress buildup--especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. After the session, I felt completely melted into relaxation. Awesome feeling! Book a session w her right now and u will not regret it. And ...... u r very welcome!!!!

From the moment I walked in, the space felt calming and safe--like a place where healing is truly possible. The treatment itself was so hands-on and informative. My practitioner didn't just treat symptoms--they really took the time to explain everything, listen deeply, and guide me through the process. I left feeling lighter, clearer... even emotional. I actually cried, not from pain, but from the release. It was powerful. This isn't just a spa--it's a sanctuary. I can't wait to go back and continue this journey. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to reconnect with their body, mind, and spirit.

The only thing that keeps me from awarding five stars is the need to go up and down stairs to the treatment rooms. As someone with osteoporosis stairs can be a challenge and took some of the relaxation out of my experience. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Vela.

I get everything done there. Haircuts; hair extensions; highlights & coloring; deep keratin conditioning treatments; hyaluronic lip enhancement and my favorite of all, eyebrow microblading. Deborah turned my blond, barely there strips of brow into a pair of beautifully defined full brows. It's been 2 years and they are still beautiful. No more drawing or filling in my brows or worrying about smudging or sweating them off or worst of all, swimming them off, lol. I can honestly say, microblading was a game changer, I only wish I had done it sooner! So what's next for me? A Facial most definitely. Pencil me in girls. So if you're looking for a clean & classy salon, with a friendly atmosphere, that does it ALL, look no further. P.S. Thanks for doing my hair on your day off Deb, your the BEST!!!!

Her products, which she develops and cooks up herself, are all organically and sustainably sourced, and she takes care with her packaging to ensure that everything is recyclable. Her entire business ethic is very conscious - that matters to me. My only issue is that her products are fragranced. Not overwhelmingly, but I've developed a sensitivity to fragrances; nothing in my house has a fragrance and I can only use skin care products that are fragrance-free. I know it's harder to develop unfragranced products, but as soon as she does, I'll be back. I really like the way my skin felt when I when I used them, but couldn't stand the weeping and sniffing. Her treatment table is the most comfortable I've ever experienced. She piles on silky duvets and you recline like a queen in nothing but softness. I highly recommend her services and her products, if you aren't fragrance-sensitive.
