Family picture of Owners Carl, Tiffany and Taylor

Meet the owners of House of VSL: Carl, an active-duty Marine from Gary, Indiana, and Tiffany, a native of Los Angeles (San Gabriel Valley), California.
House of VSL Candle Bar + Studio was born out of Carl's love for burning candles, which unfortunately started affecting his health. Determined to find a healthier alternative that would still satisfy his passion for candles, I (Tiffany) was committed to creating the perfect formula.
.
In late 2019, I had a clear vision of a candle bar and documented every single detail. When I shared it with Carl, he wholeheartedly agreed to pursue this venture with me! 
.
However, fear held me back, and I sat on this vision for several years, until fate intervened. February 13th, 2022, Mr. VSL sadly passed away, leaving me with a great sense of loss. Nevertheless, his passing gave me the courage I needed to move forward. After taking the necessary time to grieve, I told Carl  I was ready and he took the lead! It was a bit fast for my comfort, but I'm grateful that he did lol.
.
In December 2022 we got the keys and we worked tirelessly for weeks to bring our vision to life, pouring everything we had into House of VSL! Our goal was to open before Valentine's Day to honor my late Father and we successfully achieved that! 
.
We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Whether you purchased a candle, created one yourself, shared our posts, left reviews, or simply visited out of curiosity, we sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🫶🏽
