Gratuities are not included in the price for our services, but are gladly accepted. Usually gratuities range from 15-20% of the service price, or larger if you experience exceptional service.

To better serve you, please let your therapist know if you have any of the following: pregnancy, muscle or joint injuries, heart condition, high/low blood pressure, diabetes, fever, contagious skin condition or any other medical issue.

Also inform your therapist if you are using Retin-A, Accutane, or any photosensitizing or keratolytic medications, or have recently had laser or plastic surgery. Any of the above scenarios may affect our ability to treat you.

At Viva Day Spa we specialize in customized treatments that are based on each individual client needs. All aspects of our services can be customized, so please let your therapist know if you feel any discomfort or would like special attention on a particular area. Also, feel free to ask questions. The best experience always comes from honest, open communication with your therapist.

We welcome all ages of guests to experience Viva Day Spa. For the comfort of our other guests we do ask the following:

• Guests under the age of 12 can only receive nail services and must be accompanied by an adult (one adult per child). They must be well behaved while in the spa and receiving services.
• Guests 12 -17 years of age must get approval from a Viva Day Spa manager to receive body work, facials, wraps, scrubs or hair removal services. In addition, a parent or guardian must accompany them to the spa, and both parties will be required to sign a written consent.
• Guests 12 -17 years of age must wear a bathing suit or undergarments to receive body work, facials, wraps, scrubs or hair removal services.
• As with all of our guests, we ask that all conversation be kept to hushed tones to allow for ultimate relaxation for other clients receiving services. We reserve the right to terminate services at any point if we feel that any guest is not able to conduct themselves properly, or if they are affecting others services.

To ensure a serene and relaxing experience for all of our guests, we kindly ask that you turn off your cell phone upon arrival at the spa and refrain from taking phone calls while in the spa.  Turning your ringer off and texting during pedicure services is allowed.

When you are at the spa, please be respectful of others. We want all of our guests to have a relaxing and memorable experience.

* Please note that our series discount is only available for individual purchase, and not valid for spa parties or spa group bookings.

At Viva Day Spa, we pride ourselves on being non-pretentious. Your comfort is our priority! We recommend wearing loose fitting, comfortable clothes or just wearing what you feel the most relaxed in. You will be asked to remove all jewelry, therefore we strongly recommend leaving all jewelry at home.

No worries. Our expert staff will walk you through the treatment, explaining what you’ll be experiencing every step of the way from beginning to end.

Absolutely. Your therapist will ask you prior to your treatment if you would like to us the restroom. If at any time during the treatment you need to use the restroom again, just ask.

Sure thing. We have both male and female therapists, so just let us know which you prefer when you book your appointment.

We suggest eating a light meal prior to a massage or coming on an empty stomach. It is best to avoid drinking alcohol or limiting the amount of alcohol you consume prior to massage. Eating and drinking is perfectly fine prior to skin care and nail care appointments.

This is completely up to you. Most people choose to undress completely, and some choose to leave on their underwear. Prior to your massage or facial, your therapist will exit the room for you to get completely comfortable. During a massage treatment, we use a draping technique in which the therapist will use the sheet to cover the entire body except for the body part being worked on. During your facial, you’ll be wearing a wrap under the sheet that allows your neck, arms and décolleté to be exposed for treatments. We do ask that any guests under the age of 17 wear a bathing suit or under garments while receiving services.

At Viva Day Spa, we massage the back, neck, head, hands, feet, legs, arms, décolleté and gluteal muscles. If you would like to skip any of these areas, just tell your therapist. Or if you’d like special focus on one of these areas, let us know that as well. This is your time and experience, and we pride ourselves on delivering customized treatments that fit your specific need(s).

Swedish massage is a luxurious massage technique that melts the muscles and the mind using long fluid strokes with varying pressure to improve muscle tone, circulation and joint flexibility. This type of massage is generally less intensive than a Deep Tissue Massage. A fusion between Swedish massage and structural massage, Viva’s Deep Tissue Massage relieves aches and pains that are stored in the deepest parts of the muscles. Perfect for working out knots and alleviating stubborn tension and soreness.

Since massage therapy is releasing lactic acid from the muscles, it can sometimes leave you sore. This is only temporary though and is due to the lactic acid — which is crystallized in the muscle — being worked out. This is why it is so important to drink plenty of water following a massage. You need to help hydrate the tissue and flush the toxins being released.

Yes, however your must arrive early to shower. Please notify the front desk upon booking that you will be using the shower, and they will let you know how early to arrive prior to your appointment — so you can make your appointment time.

Yes, this is a great time to get a massage! The massage will help flush out lactic acid from the muscles and help relax the body.

No. We recommend waiting at least 48 hours after an acute injury due to possible swelling in the area. When you have swollen tissue it can be counterproductive to massage. You should ice any swollen areas and see a doctor if the swelling persists.

Waxing and sugaring are two techniques used to remove unwanted hair by removing the hair follicle from the root. Wax is hot and applied on the skin in the direction of the hair growth, then removed with a strip in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Wax is great for use on large body parts that are not sensitive, such as the legs, arms and back. It is also great for use on brows since it has an easy application process that can result in a high level of detail needed for brow waxes. At Viva Day Spa, we carry 3 types of waxes that are of high quality and are used for specific body parts based on their properties.

Sugar is a water-soluble substance made from honey, lemon and water. It is warm and has a consistency similar to taffy. The esthetician will take a ball of sugar and work it in her hand while wearing special textured gloves. The esthetician will apply the sugar to the body part by spreading the sugar against the direction of the hair growth, and then remove the sugar using a quick flinging motion. The sugar is removed in the direction of the hair growth, which results in less hair breakage. The esthetician will continue to use the same sugar ball to remove the rest of the hair for that body part. Sugar is great to use on smaller, more sensitive body parts since it does not adhere to live skin. It is most commonly used for bikini, Brazilians, lips and underarms. Sugar is also easily removed with a wet towel since it is water-soluble.

For 24 hours post-hair removal, we recommend avoiding contact with salt water, pools or jacuzzis. We also recommend avoiding sweating or physical exertion — including contact sports — 24 hours prior to hair removal services.

Usually you will leave with glowing skin! However, most facials come with extractions, so some redness may occur right after the facial. We do use a high-frequency wand with all facial treatments to lessen redness when and if it occurs.

We recommend The Special Event Facial to prepare for an event for more beautiful skin. This facial can be performed just prior to an event for that red carpet glow.

We recommend bringing a pair of open-toe shoes or sandals that do not touch your toenails.

It can take your nails several hours to dry following a manicure or pedicure. It is best to wait to put closed-toe shoes on for as long as possible after your service to protect the integrity of your nail treatment.

We will not perform peels, microdermabrasion or hair removal services on pregnant women or on guests who are using Retin A, Accutane, Avage, Tazorac, Differin or any other medications that increase skin exfoliation or compromise the skin.  Peels, microdermabrasion or hair removal cannot be performed on people who have recently had laser treatments, plastic surgery or a sunburn.

For optimal results and a more comfortable experience, hair should be between 1/4″ and 1/2″ in length. If hair is longer, please trim to 1/4″ prior to your appointment. We will not wax or sugar guests who are sunburned, using Retin A (currently or in the past 3 months), Accutane (currently or in the past 6 months) Differin or any other medications designed to increase skin exfoliation. After hair removal, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and excessive sweating to lessen the chances of bacterial infection.

At Viva Day Spa, a spa party is defined as 5 or more guests.

Group spa discounts are available for parties of 5 or more, if you book your event Monday through Thursday. Parties with 5-9 guests receive 5% off all spa services, while parties of 10 or more guests receive 10% off all spa services.

Call (512) 472-2256 and one of our event specialists will help you put together any combination of services from the Viva Day Spa menu to create the perfect spa party experience! Spa parties must be reserved with a credit card provided by the spa party organizer. However, the credit card will only be charged if there is a cancellation within our cancellation policy or no-show by any spa party guest.

At check out, our front desk staff will happily split up the bill individually, or take one payment for the entire spa party. Please note that an 18% gratuity will be added to services received by all spa parties (guests of 5 or more).

Absolutely! We offer the option of renting out the entire spa so that your party can be completely private and ensure that no other guests – other than those in your party – will be in the Relaxation Room or in the spa receiving services. Plus you’ll be able to choose the music, can offer a wider variety of refreshments, and have complete control over the noise level. Pricing for a Private VIP Parties is based on the length of time of your party and the day of the week your event is scheduled. Call (512) 475-2256 for more information.

If you need to cancel your party, you must do so one week (7 days) prior to the date of your spa party. If you need to make changes for existing guests, please call us for arrangements at least 72 hours prior to the date of your party. Changes to appointments cannot be made the day of the spa party. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate last minute changes to existing appointments due to room availability, so please notify us as far in advance as possible to help ensure that each of your guests can receive the services they would like.

Spa parties must be reserved with a credit card provided by the spa party organizer. The credit card on file will be charged if there is a last minute cancellation or no-show by any spa party guest. All cancellations made less than one week prior to the spa party date will be charged for the full price of the service.

• Our Relaxation Room is available for spa party guests to utilize before, during, and after spa services at no additional cost. If another spa party is scheduled directly after yours, our front desk staff will ask your party to move up to the front waiting area once your guests have finished receiving all of their services.




• All guests should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to appointment times. New guests will be required to fill out a short intake form. We will email all forms to the spa party organizer to expedite this process – please have these filled out and bring them in with you.




• Please be mindful of your party’s noise level, since other clients are enjoying spa treatments in adjacent treatment rooms. We respectfully ask to keep your voices down so as not to disrupt other clients’ spa experiences.

You may bring champagne, wine and non-cooked foods to your spa party. Finger foods like fruit, cheese and desserts are some popular choices. Viva will provide glassware. We ask that you provide ice, silverware, plates and napkins, if you require them.
