VELA — Local services in Charlotte

I've been a client of Elizabeth's for over 2 years now and I truly don't want anyone else to ever touch my face again and that's not an exaggeration. Not only is she incredibly thoughtful with each client, ensuring that not only are you getting the best experience in spa, but she also ensures that you have the knowledge and product recommendations necessary to help you sustain a routine at home.

She never pushes products or services that you don't need, and truly listens to your concerns about your skin. I've tried a ton of the services she offers and each one is better than the last. Like I literally glow like a golden cherub for days after my facials.

Not only is she a whizz with knowing all the ins and outs of the science behind your skin, but she is quite literally the nicest person I've ever met. Her cheerfulness is a breath of fresh air and even while transitioning from NoDa to South End (which was a big move involving a ton of logistics) and expanding her brand she's remained so charismatic, kind, and welcoming.

All of the staff members at Vela have been absolute delights (some I knew back from the Pure Glo days) and I'm so excited to see all of the services and customer service they'll be offering new and returning clients.

If you want a place where you will feel welcomed, inspired, respected, and leave with the juiciest, most dewy skin that'll make your friends jealous, then look no further...

I had the most phenomenal experience at Elizabeth's skincare studio. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. Elizabeth exudes warmth and expertise, and it's evident she genuinely cares about her clients' skin health.

Her wealth of knowledge about skincare is truly impressive. She took the time to understand my skin concerns, particularly my battle with acne-prone and sensitive skin. Elizabeth's recommendations were spot-on, tailored perfectly to address my specific needs and skin goals.

The facial she performed was nothing short of magical. Not only was it incredibly relaxing, but I could feel the immediate difference in my skin's texture and appearance. Elizabeth's delicate touch and attention to detail were remarkable.

What sets Elizabeth apart is her dedication to educating her clients. Throughout the facial, she provided valuable insights into my skin's condition and offered practical advice on how to care for it at home. Her guidance has given me newfound confidence in managing my acne-prone skin.

I left Elizabeth's studio feeling rejuvenated, empowered, and armed with a personalized skincare routine that I know will make a real difference. I'm already eagerly anticipating my next visit and am grateful to have found someone as knowledgeable and caring as Elizabeth. If you're struggling with acne-prone or sensitive skin, I wholeheartedly recommend paying her a visit. You won't be...

I started seeing Elizabeth at Vela exactly three months before my wedding, and it was the best decision I could have made for my skin! From the moment you walk in, she greets you with a hug—even on your first visit—and instantly makes you feel at home.

At my first appointment, all I told her was, “My wedding is in three months, and I want the best skin possible for my photos.” She took the reins from there, guiding me every step of the way. Most of the time, I didn’t even know exactly what my appointment was for—I just trusted Queen Elizabeth and followed her expert recommendations.

I did acne treatments with her, and she completely transformed my skin. She not only cleared my breakouts but also refined my skincare routine, fixing what I was (and wasn’t) doing. Every product she recommended has been a game-changer.

I even brought my fiancé in for a treatment before the wedding, and he couldn’t believe how clear his skin looked in our photos! If you’re a future bride looking to glow on your big day, I cannot recommend Elizabeth at Vela enough. She is...
