OUR PHILOSOPHY
IS PERSONAL.
A single service might be just the beginning: After your injectable treatment, 60-minute massage, or weight-loss consultation, there’s so much more to explore.
Wherever you start, we’ll take the time to get to know you and make personalized recommendations with your best interests at heart: no scripts, no B.S.
Together, we’ll create a tailored aesthetic and wellness plan to help you achieve your goals and sustain life-changing results. If overall wellness is your goal, make VIGOUR your vice.
We believe…
- Beauty is so much more than skin deep.
- Your wellness is non-negotiable.
- Movement cultivates confidence.
- How you rest your body and recover is just as important as how you move it.
- There are no true quick fixes or shortcuts to long-term wellness.
- Feeling amazing is worth the work it takes.
- In transparency and the unvarnished truth — unfiltered is always the best policy.
- In practicing what we preach.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
MEET AMANDA
& REBECCA
VIGOUR was founded by Amanda O’Hearn, owner of Jean Paul Salons, and Rebecca Harrica (Beckie), Physician Assistant and practice manager for Chao Medical Aesthetics, PLLC. Amanda was captivated by Rebecca and Dr. Chao’s blend of compassion and business savvy that created a space where clients feel truly understood and cared for. Recognizing their shared passion and vision, Amanda and Rebecca knew that teaming up together to launch VIGOUR by Chao Medical Aesthetics, PLLC was the perfect fit.
Amanda and Rebecca aim to combine the best aspects of their existing practices (Jean Paul and Chao Plastic Surgery) to create a sophisticated, premium medspa experience at VIGOUR that not only focuses on aesthetics, but overall wellness and health.
