Founder's Story

“Coming from a working-class Latino family, I got my start in the spa industry like a lot of people with humble beginnings: wiping sweat off tanning beds at my local salon when I was in high school. But what started with a not-so-glamorous job led me to my professional calling. As a spa manager, I designed treatments for some of the largest and well known day spas in California and was the leader of medical facilities with the latest lasers, chemical peels, and injectable treatments. After becoming a spa owner, I traveled around the world to study everything from time-honored treatments to cutting-edge medspa technology. Today, my luxury day spa and skin clinic in LA is an oasis beloved by the world’s most recognizable faces like: Katy Perry, Mark Wahlberg, Vanessa Hudgens, Kris Jenner, Lisa Kudrow, and Dua Lipa for its highly innovative treatments. VSOTO is the result of everything I’ve learned over two decades of studying spa culture: a deep commitment to clean and natural ingredients, an expertise in spa technology, and my personal belief that taking care of your skin is easier when you have products you look forward to using every single day.”
