Frequently Asked Questions
Spa (Austin, TX)
What should I book if I’m breaking out or have irritated skin?
If your skin is breaking out, inflamed, or reactive, book a facial that focuses on calming, balancing, and supporting the skin barrier. Avoid aggressive treatments and trust that your skin doesn’t need punishment—it needs presence. Every session at Violet + Vesta is customized based on your skin’s current state, emotional landscape, and lifestyle patterns, though we highly recommend booking one of our Tailored Treatments (customized facials) so your esthetician can create a treatment protocol for your unique skin.
How should I prepare for my first facial at Violet + Vesta in Austin?
Come with a bare face if you can, but no pressure—we’ll cleanse you. Avoid exfoliating 48 hours before your appointment, and it is a good idea to skip retinols the week leading up. Most importantly, come open. This isn’t just skincare. It’s self-reclamation. We do things differently here.
What’s the difference between brow waxing, lamination, and tinting?
Waxing shapes. Lamination lifts. Tinting adds depth. When combined, these services create fuller, more sculpted brows with minimal daily effort. We tailor your brow ritual to your face shape, natural growth, and overall aesthetic—whether you want soft and natural or bold and bossy.
What makes your facials different from other Austin spas?
We don’t just treat skin—we listen to it. Each facial is an intuitive blend of clinical skincare, somatic presence, and energetic healing. Expect potent actives, intentional touch, and a space that honors your nervous system as much as your skin barrier. This is skincare as ceremony.
Do you take walk-ins or is it appointment only?
We’re by appointment only. This allows us to give each client our full attention, intention, and energetic presence. You can book online or DM us—whichever feels easier.

Coaching + Astrology
What is shadow work coaching and how is it different from traditional life coaching?
Shadow work coaching doesn’t just focus on your goals—it focuses on the parts of you that sabotage them. This work dives into the unconscious patterns, identity myths, and protective personas that run beneath the surface. We use astrology, Jungian psychology, somatic practices, and deep energetic inquiry to help you reclaim the pieces of yourself you were taught to exile. It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming someone whole.
What if I’m skeptical about astrology? Will coaching still work for me?
Yes. Astrology isn’t a belief system—it’s a mirror. You don’t have to believe in it for it to reflect something true. We use your natal chart and current transits as maps of psychological patterns, emotional timing, and energetic terrain. Many clients come in skeptical and end up stunned at how deeply it resonates.
Can this help if I feel stuck in my job or relationship?
Stuckness is a symptom of misalignment. In shadow work coaching, we uncover where you’re shape-shifting to survive, betraying your boundaries, or unconsciously repeating old dynamics. The goal isn’t to fix you—it’s to reconnect you with your inner compass so you can move forward with clarity and agency.
What’s the first step to working with you?
Book a discovery call. It’s a space to feel into whether this work fits your season of life, ask your questions, and sense if our energy resonates. No pressure, no hard sell—just a conversation.
Do you offer astrology readings without coaching?
Yes. If you're seeking insight outside of coaching, we offer stand-alone astrology sessions focused on your birth chart, current transits, or life themes. These sessions aren’t predictive—they’re pattern-based, reflective, and often eerily clarifying. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your inner landscape and what life might be asking of you now.
