Through our various travels over the years from Hawaii, Mexico, Japan, Europe and to various locations within the states, we both agree that Cheryl was the best massage ever received.

The salon itself and the rest of the staff are lovely. My first appointment was booked with George and first impressions: he is fabulous! Never have I ever gained so much knowledge from a haircut! I have curly hair with some recent challenges due to weight loss and he came highly recommended. He spent the time with me to educate me on my curls and what he thought was the best way to proceed to help me reach my hair goals. My curls are looking fantastic and I can't wait to go back for my next appointment!

She told me that Jolie was with a client and would be with me shortly. The client left about 3pm. I continued wait for 25 more minutes. The young lady at the counter went to check and said she would be right with me. Another 10 to 15 min went by and I asked the young lady behind the counter what time they closed and she said 4pm. I said I probably need to reschedule then. I asked her if I could get my money back for the deposit. At that point what I can only imagine is Jolie came from behind the wall and very meanly said what is the problem. She said if don't want to wait let her go. I responded if she didn't have time for me she could have called or at least could have let me know when I was waiting. Jolie started screaming at me that she had back to back clients and that she was a 30 year professional. And other stuff I can't remember. Then I said since I am being treated so rudely I wanted my money back now. To which the young lady behind explained it wasn't possible because system I used to pay with. Then Jolie starting screaming at the young lady behind the register "just give it to her, just give it to her, give her cash!! And the young lady said I can't. Then the young lady said was going to call the manager..All I wanted was a hair cut and to feel special for alittle bit instead I left in tears!! I have never been treated so horrible!! Lynn

Do not go here for hair or formal hair styles! They may do okay with nails and massages but I am not happy with the way some of the staff acted towards me on my wedding day! The owner was very apologetic and gave me a discount but the experience was bad enough that I just cant give a good review, my mother and mother in law were very unhappy as well with there results! My stylist changed 3 times because people kept quitting this place, that was frustrating enough as a bride and although they were nice about it, the end result was a girl named Carrie who did a terrible job and did not seem to care about what an important day it was for me. As a bride you dont need stresses like this, and if they cant keep decent ppl working there.....that says something. I ended up redoing my hair for my own wedding day!!! Should have started this after my stylist changed the first time.....lesson learned! read more

This was my second deep tissue massage with Sean, and both visits were exceptional. Sean is an…read moreexcellent therapist, with many years of experience. I appreciate he's not talkative and is good about pacing out the experience so that all the tense areas were fully addressed. The massage rooms are the most appealing ones I've ever seen in Columbia, and the waiting area is beautifully decorated and well stocked with drink options. Both front desk employees I met were friendly and wonderful to interact with. My tip is to get there at least 20 minutes early to allow enough time for the front desk staff to get you checked in, to fill out any paperwork needed, and to prepare for your service. The spa has its own parking lot for free parking for its clients. (The spots are small so if you have a big SUV or truck you may need to pay for parking on the street.)

I would NOT recommend anyone go to this establishment…read more This was one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences I have ever had as a paying customer. I booked a 60-minute massage and was required to pay 50% of the cost upfront to secure my appointment. My appointment was scheduled for 3:45 PM, and I arrived at 3:40 PM -- FIVE MINUTES EARLY. I have proof of my arrival time. Despite arriving early, I stood at an empty front desk for approximately 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me. When someone finally came out, I was actually asked if I had told them I was going to be late. I was there before my appointment time. My massage did not begin until approximately 4:10 PM, meaning the appointment started roughly 25 minutes late. The massage ended promptly at 4:45 PM, and I have proof of the time I left. Based on those times, I received only approximately 35 minutes of massage time for a service I booked and paid for as a full 60-minute massage. To be very clear: I was not late. I arrived early. I did not cause this delay. Yet I was the one who lost a significant portion of the service I paid for. And unfortunately, this wasn't even the first warning. One of my girlfriends had previously gone here and specifically told me to watch the clock because she booked a 90-minute massage and only received approximately 55 minutes. I now understand exactly what she was talking about. I booked this massage because I was already in pain, and after waiting for my appointment to begin, I received significantly less than the 60 minutes I paid for and walked out STILL HURTING. I find this completely unacceptable. If you're going to require customers to pay 50% upfront, then you should have enough respect for those customers to actually provide the service they paid for. Your scheduling issues should not become the customer's loss of time and money. And before anyone tries to dispute my timeline, I have documentation showing that I arrived at 3:40 PM and documentation showing that I left at 4:45 PM. I will be submitting that proof along with this review. I cannot prove the exact moment the massage began, but I can say that it did not begin until approximately 4:10 PM, and the massage ended promptly at 4:45 PM. This was not what I paid for. I left feeling ripped off, disregarded, and still in pain. Customers should not have to arrive early, wait for an establishment to get their appointment started, and then lose a substantial amount of the service they paid for. I would absolutely NOT recommend this establishment to anyone. If you decide to go anyway, watch the clock and document everything.
