Company at a glance

AUSTIN'S FAVORITE SPA + MED SPA

In 2005, we founded Viva Day Spa with the belief that a premier day spa should provide the finest quality services and products in an environment that is inviting, relaxing, and — above all — unpretentious.

As a woman and locally-owned business, we’re dedicated to providing every guest the individual attention and service you expect and deserve. Our spas deliver the utmost in relaxation and rejuvenation by utilizing both classic and the latest techniques in massage, facials & skin care, and other spa services.

We selected our primary skin care lines — plant-based Eminence Organics and dermatologist-recommended SkinCeuticals — to ensure that our guests have a choice when it comes to the products we use on their skin.

MEDICAL EXPERTISE, SPA ATMOSPHERE

In 2017, we expanded our service offerings to include a carefully curated menu of non-invasive med spa treatments. Our vision was to bring together the best of the spa and med spa worlds: nationally recognized medical aesthetics talent and expertise and the beautiful, relaxing spa experience that Austin has known and loved for the past 15 years.

CARING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Your spa experience at Viva is literally in the hands of our talented staff. We believe in nurturing our employees so that they, in turn, can deliver first-rate services to our guests. Internally, we refer to it as “caring from the inside out.” It’s one of the reasons Viva Day Spa has been voted both Best Spa in Austin and Best Places To Work in Austin multiple years over.

Our incomparable staff, relaxing spa environs, and incredible clients make Viva Day Spa as distinct as Austin itself.
