Spa Cosmetologist

Licensed Esthetician Making People Feel Better Inside and Out
About Viva
Viva Day Spa + Med Spa was founded in Austin in 2005 by three women with a simple belief: when you take exceptional care of people, everything else follows.

What began as a vision to create a different kind of spa experience has grown into an award-winning company serving guests across Austin, Round Rock, Dallas, and Atlanta.

At Viva, our people are the experience. Every therapist, esthetician, concierge, housekeeper, leader, and support team member contributes to how our guests feel when they walk through our doors.
Why Viva
We believe work should feel meaningful, energizing, and deeply rewarding.

We're passionate about helping people feel better inside and out, and we know that starts by taking great care of our team.
The people make the place. That's why we're intentional about who we hire and how we show up for one another. We believe great teams are built on trust, accountability, kindness, and a shared commitment to excellence.

You'll be surrounded by talented, caring people who love what they do and take pride in doing it well. People who support one another, celebrate wins together, and genuinely care about helping guests—and each other—have a better day.

Whether you're serving guests, supporting operations, or leading a team, your work matters here. If you're passionate about your craft, excited by our culture, and believe you'd thrive in this role, we'd love to hear from you.
Award-Winning Care, Exceptional People
Over the years, Viva has earned numerous awards and recognitions for excellence in spa, med spa, massage, hospitality, and workplace culture.
While we're proud of those accomplishments, we're most proud of the trust our guests place in us and the team members who bring the Viva experience to life every day.
Those recognitions reflect both the guest experience we deliver and the culture we continue to build together.
