We got in on the trend! To be fair *some* of our folks weren’t present in the 90’s.

What were YOU doing in the 90’s?

Our next features Dr. Vivian Valenty, the founder of Dazzle Dry spent 35 years as a bio-organic chemist had a passion for using her gifts to create natural, health products. After she realized the problematic ingredients in everyday nail polish, she became determined to create a more natural alternative that would promote healthier nails and deliver the same high performance of its artificial competitors.

In 2007, Dr. Valenty created a nail care line free from harmful chemicals, animal byproducts and animal testing. To this day, her Dazzle Dry line is the only quick-drying, long-lasting natural nail care system of its kind. Vivian Valenty believes beauty and wellness go hand-in-hand and we agree!

Dr. Valenty was just named to the 2026 Inc. Female Founders 500, Inc.’s annual list recognizing the most accomplished and innovative women entrepreneurs in the United States.

East Village Spa is proud to carry Dazzle Dry, and to use this as our primary nail care brand in services, to create a healthy natural nail salon for both our team members, AND our guests!

For Women’s Month, I’d like to highlight some of the female founders of the brands we carry and love, and share WHY we love them.

Let’s start with 💄

Jane Iredale Cosmetics was founded in 1994. As a casting director and producer, Jane worked closely with actors who had skin concerns exacerbated by heavy stage makeup and wondered, “Why can’t makeup be good for the skin?”

This led to the creation of her Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder, which was immediately embraced by skin professionals, dermatologists and plastic surgeons for its ability to soothe, cover and protect.

Today, The Jane Iredale line known for being “Skincare Makeup” is still guided by the simple premise that makeup should look good, feel good and be good for the skin.

In addition to being a product our team members love using on their own skin and sharing with their guests, we love supporting a company founded on principles of giving back. Since their founding, Jane Iredale Cosmetics has contributed over $3.5 million to causes in line with those East Village Spa supports, including animal welfare, support for people during cancer care, and support for women in crisis, and programs that empower girls.

📷 Pictured: Cassie, Kirstie, and Maddie met Jane Iredale at a conference in 2023. As you can imagine, we are not as “assertive” as some beauty professionals in requesting assistance, and she saw us and made sure we were personally cared for, sticking with us at their booth the entire time, and also making sure the make-up artists at their booth sent products home for Cyerra, who could not attend with us that year. Her genuine kindness really left an impression.

Do you use AI for health and beauty information? Would you know if you were? How do you use AI thoughtfully? How do you know if the information you’re finding is accurate? What about the environment? How is AI evolving healthcare?

These are some of the many questions we discussed at a team learning breakfast this morning. Professor Dan Chibnall, the STEM librarian at came to facilitate a really great conversation today.

It is such a gift to spend time with curious, thoughtful, and caring team members, gaining a better understanding of how we can responsibly digest and share information as new technology emerges.

Cassie, Kirstie, Denise, and Mindia joined massage therapy colleagues and the massage chapter at the Capitol yesterday for a day educating lawmakers and the public with our peers. Cassie has been an LMT over 20 years and spent much of that time in advocacy and education roles, she’s currently Iowa’s government relations chair for AMTA-IA.

Seeing the change in how the public uses massage therapy for health and wellness and the increase in our state’s understanding of the need for high standards for education, ethics and safety in our profession grow over the last 2 decades has been so heartening.

This is because of the work of Iowa’s licensed massage therapists and YOU, the folks who depend on massage therapy for physical and mental wellness.

Tell friends, tell lawmakers, tell everyone that licensure and professional massage therapy education and ethics standards are important for you as a massage therapy consumer!

Our profession is rewarding and the need for skilled LMTs continues to grow. We are excited for the future and focusing on the good work we do.

In December, Denise Koning joined East Village Spa as our Chief Operating Officer!

Denise (she/her) has served in accounting roles for most of her career. She and Cassie crossed paths when Denise became a Director of another Iowa-based spa and the two collaborated for years, Cassie educating Denise on the ins and outs of massage therapy and the spa profession, and Denise offering Cassie guidance on numbers and what Cassie would consider the “boring” parts of her job.

Even after Denise left the spa world, she and Cassie continued to connect over their shared passion for community development, the arts, and local organizations doing good work for underserved folks in our community.

The stars aligned in the most serendipitous way to allow Denise to join our team. She’s been enjoying meeting our guests, getting to know the fantastic folks that work in all areas of the spa, and helping free up Cassie to indulge in her creative ideas and plans for continued spa improvements and innovations.

Outside of work Denise enjoys time with her super cool adult children, service on community boards, supporting the arts and making meaningful connections in small business communities.
