FLORENCE, S.C. – Spa de Vie Salon and Spa held a ribbon cutting and grand opening celebration Thursday afternoon at its new location at 1330 Celebration Blvd. in Florence.

The salon doubled in square-footage after moving from its former location at 1800 W. Palmetto St. It offers a wide array of salon services and spa treatments. Women, men and children of all ages can enjoy a day of relaxation at Spa de Vie.

The staff of 22 professional stylists and colorists gives clients a fresh new look with fresh cuts, styles and dyes. Spa de Vie also offers extensions and straightening treatments as well as professional makeup application for any special occasion.

The spa portion of the business offers guests massages, facials and waxing, as well as spray tanning, manicures and pedicures. Clients can also purchase spa packages that include couple’s massages, body scrubs and lunch.

Ambassadors with the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce celebrated alongside the staff at Spa de Vie during the grand opening on Thursday and welcomed the business to the chamber. Lindsey Bazen, owner of Spa de Vie, said the salon has been in business since March 2010. For Bazen, the idea of moving locations and having her own salon space has been years in the making.

“I always wanted to have something where I could do it my own way and have the building set up how I want it set up,” Bazen said. “I love it.”
