01 The choice

You don’t have to know exactly what to ask for.

Bring the inspiration photo. Bring the vague idea. Bring the “I need a change, but not too much.” We’ll listen first, then make a plan together.

04 How it works

Four steps, no guessing.

  1. 1

    Choose your service

    Starting prices and times are on the menu.

  2. 2

    Ask what you need

    Ask Vela answers from the service guide, any hour.

  3. 3

    Request a time

    Pick a day and a morning, afternoon or evening window.

  4. 4

    We confirm the details

    A real studio would reply to confirm. This demo never does.

You never have to guess what comes next. A request is not a confirmed appointment.
