Hey there, and welcome to The Fancy Edit — the official blog of Fancy’s Day Spa.
If you’ve been part of our journey over the years, you probably already know: Fancy’s never really went away. And if you’re just joining us now — we’re so glad you’re here.
Today, we’re sharing the heart behind this new chapter and what it means for our spa, our team, and our amazing clients.
A Quick Look Back
Fancy’s Day Spa first opened in 2007, with a vision rooted in healing and heartfelt care. The space quickly became a local sanctuary — a place where people could come to feel better, decompress, and reconnect.
By 2011, our passion for massage grew into something even bigger: Texas Massage Academy — a space for learning, sharing, and training the next generation of bodyworkers. The academy became our way of extending the healing — through our students, their work, and their future clients.
While the spa took a quieter role during those growth years, it never closed. Fancy’s remained a dedicated space for our instructors to continue doing the work we love. Our hearts stayed in the treatment room, even as we wore our educator hats.
Pivoting During the Pandemic
Like for many, Covid shifted the way we worked — and thought. Education models changed. Life priorities changed. And students began looking for faster, more flexible programs.
We embraced online education to meet those needs, and while our evening classes continue, we’ve noticed fewer students available for the clinic floor. At the same time, demand for massage hasn’t slowed down one bit. Our students? Booked out about a month in advance!
So here we are — shifting once again, but this time, circling back to our roots.
So What’s New at Fancy’s?
Over the past few months, we’ve been quietly working behind the scenes to re-focus Fancy’s as a fully functioning spa — independent from the school. A key part of that transition? We upgraded our booking system, giving clients a seamless, easy way to connect with us directly — no more sorting through the school schedule.
Now, Fancy’s Day Spa has its own rhythm again.
Meet the Current Fancy’s Team:
- Brandon – Our co-owner and experienced therapist, available 3 days a week
- Brittney – Our night instructor at Texas Massage Academy and therapist, available 4 days a week
- Yours truly – Also back in the rooms and available 3 days a week
It’s a tight crew — but a mighty one. And more than anything, we’re thrilled to be doing what we love: helping people feel better.

Why “The Fancy Edit”?
Great question — because this blog is our way of sharing what’s important to us, thoughtfully and intentionally. It’s not just about the spa. It’s about what healing means in this ever-changing world, how we care for ourselves and each other, and the ways we’re constantly learning and evolving.
The Fancy Edit is a space for real talk, helpful tips, and community connection.
FAQs — We’ve Got Answers
Q: Is Fancy’s Day Spa open to the public again?
Yes! We never fully closed, but we’ve now separated spa operations from the school and are fully open for appointments with our instructors.
Q: How do I book an appointment?
Easy! Use our updated booking system www.fancysdaypspa.com to find a time with Brandon, Brittney, or myself.
Q: What about student massage appointments?
We still offer them — but with fewer students on the floor, they’re booking out quickly (usually a month in advance). If you’re interested, book early or join the waitlist.
Q: Will you still be running Texas Massage Academy?
Absolutely. The academy remains an essential part of who we are — and Brittney, Brandon, and I continue to teach and guide students there. But Fancy’s is now standing strong on its own again.
