10 Years In Business

Discover Our Journey

To Past, Present, and Future Valued Clients,


My heart overflows with gratitude as I write this letter, acknowledging the unwavering support you've generously provided over the last ten years. As I find myself in a moment of humble reflection, it becomes clear just how significant this time is for La Bella Derma – we are celebrating a decade of growth, transformation, and, most importantly, shared experiences with you, our cherished community.


La Bella Derma is more than a business; it is the embodiment of my deepest values and aspirations. This endeavor merges my personal and professional lives, reflecting my core identity and passion for holistic wellness.


Our story began with a modest studio in South Burlington, fueled by a passion for exceptional skincare and wellness. Our narrative evolved dramatically seven years ago with our expansion into a once bare and challenging space in Winooski. What was initially an empty shell has transformed into the welcoming and beautiful spa you know today, thanks to meticulous planning and design.


Through every stage, we faced uncertainties and challenges—inevitable parts of any entrepreneurial journey. By embracing continuous improvement and learning from our setbacks, we've strengthened our commitment to exceeding expectations and enhancing client wellbeing.


At La Bella Derma, the vision was never about achieving status as the most successful or luxurious spa. Instead, the focus has always been on establishing a nurturing space dedicated to self-care, where our clients—particularly women—can receive treatments that not only enhance their beauty but also boost their confidence and overall wellbeing.


Through focused research, we provide high-quality, effective products at reasonable prices. We prioritize educating our clients on skin care, ensuring they make informed, regret-free purchases.


Through my journey, I've aimed to foster a workplace where employees feel truly valued and supported, creating a culture that empowers them to prioritize their families just as I prioritize mine. I actively promote a healthy work-life balance by encouraging staff to take vacations and time off to celebrate personal milestones, anniversaries, and achievements.


Embarking on this journey from scratch, with the unwavering support of my then-boyfriend, now husband, has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a Licensed Esthetician since 2007 and an Entrepreneur since 2014, I cherish your consistent patronage and engagement, which have been pivotal to our success.


As we look forward with excitement to the next decade, we invite you to remain an active part of our evolving story. Your feedback, continued patronage, and enthusiasm for our services inspire our mission every day. We are immensely grateful for your loyalty, no matter how frequently we see you.


Together, let us step into the next ten years with enthusiasm and anticipation for the wonderful opportunities ahead. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and here's to striving for excellence and achieving new heights together.


If it's been a while since we last had the pleasure of your visit, we eagerly invite you to return and immerse yourself in a revitalizing experience specifically crafted for your wellness at La Bella Derma. Consider this a heartfelt invitation to schedule your next session with us and reacquaint yourself with the exceptional care and uplifting atmosphere that define your moments at our spa.


With heartfelt thanks and incredible gratitude,


Chelsea Russell
