The first-time VISIA analysis is free. Book that conversation, ask for your printed report, and talk it through before choosing a service. If you’d like a copy by email, ask the team when you book.
A student booked a consultation between classes. Public transit had other plans. This is what happened when she called.
“I called to let Viva know I couldn’t make it in. To my surprise, the owner picked up my call and reassured me that it was okay and that *he* could call me an uber. Accepting the offer, I was able to make it to my consultation on time and I was warmly welcomed by their team.
… Maggie, Niko, and the owner Rashit really made my visit memorable with their hospitality.”
“Isabella did my VISIA skin analysis and was amazing! She was so informative and compassionate, taking the time to walk me through my skin’s UV damage, pigmentation, texture, pores, and overall skin health in detail.”
