We’re welcoming a new WSB sponsor today: LaVida Massage, now open in Jefferson Square on the corner of 42nd SW and SW Alaska. Here’s what they’d like you to know about their business:

LaVida offers high-quality massage and aesthetician services at an affordable price with convenient hours, open 7 days a week. All 12 of their massage therapists are experienced Licensed Massage Therapists with 50+ years of combined experience. They offer most modalities, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Pre-Natal, Sports, and Treatment massage. They also offer couples’ massages, hot stone, and aromatherapy in their 8 beautiful massage rooms. Your first hour-long massage is always $39.95. 30-year veteran medical aesthetician Janean Wyvold, a longtime aesthetician educator and West Seattle resident, heads their Aesthetician department. They offer luxury facials, anti-aging facial treatments, microdermabrasion rejuvenation treatments, chemical peels, and waxing services, all at affordable prices. Your first hour-long Signature Facial is always $49.95.

Longtime Alki resident Paul Silver and daughter Raeanne Silver decided to open LaVida Massage because they saw a real need to offer both massage and aesthetician services at an affordable price, especially in this economy. “People love massage and taking care of themselves but can no longer justify the high prices charged at many high-end salons,” says Paul Silver. “We now offer an alternative. We built a beautiful salon in a very convenient location where our customers can enjoy the benefits of a high-end salon without the high-end cost.”

LaVida Massage also offers the “Life Benefit Program”: For a monthly charge of $59.95, you get your choice of an hour-long massage or facial. In addition, any additional massages for the month are $49.95, but for their Grand Opening, additional massages are reduced to only $39.95 for as long as you remain a member. The program is month to month, so you can cancel at any time and you can even share your membership with anyone in your household so that they can get the reduced rates as well. If you don’t use your free massage or facial in any given month, they roll over until you do use them.
