You want the table a little warmer/ cooler? Got it. Want to lighten the pressure in certain areas? Sure, no problem! Curious about how 'x' pain connects to 'y' limb? You'll get an accurate, thoughtful response. Lights lower, music softer? She's on it. No stress added that I arrived a couple minutes late. She apparently had time, so she tacked those couple minutes on to the end and I got as many minutes as I actually paid for - that's always super appreciated! It would be nice if the room was a little more soundproofed or located further back in the building away from the road; I could hear lunch hour traffic rushing by on the street about 20 yd away. But other than that, this was a great massage, and I've had plenty over the decades. A lot of therapists these days slop through the motions, but Karen really has a pinpoint, accurate understanding of the human body and I give her full props for 90 minutes of targeted, firm pressure body work. Me having slightly arthritic hands, I greatly appreciate her stamina! I left the appointment, amazed with an amount of flexibility in my neck and shoulders I haven't felt in probably 10 years. My 82 yo mom loves it here, too. There's a plethora of skilled service providers and lots of face, body, general wellness treatments to choose from.

Due to Covid-19 I was quite concerned about going to a salon, but I felt very comfortable the entire time I was there. They have a lot of precautions put into place including taking temperatures when you enter. Additionally everyone in the salon wore their masks correctly which is not something that occurs in many places. Andy was very easy to work with and I was confident with the length (removing 12+ inches) and style that he suggested. I was very happy with my cut and look forward to visiting again. I would recommend going to him if you need a haircut!

I've been looking for a professional place to get a massage or facial since 2010. Last year I found…read morea good masseuse in Philadelphia- but it isn't easy to go there every time I want to have a massage! Unfortunately, I hadn't been able to find anyone in Columbus who was a professional, or who was even close to what I used to have in Europe or Arab countries! Last week I was studying in a café, and when I stepped out I saw a massage and facials place next door. I immediately decided to try it out. I was lucky enough to find an appointment within two days and on a Saturday too! First of all, the location is good and easy to find. It is on high street, so you can get there easily by bus # 2. For someone who prefers to drive, there is a parking area behind the building. Second, the place is so quiet, smells nice and is well-decorated. The light is just perfect and the music is just right! Third, Rosemary is well prepared for her clients, so professional, and enjoys her work. There is a huge different between professionals and amateurs and there is absolutely a big different between someone who enjoys working and someone who does it ONLY to get paid! This is something I've noticed -- Some people are just tired and want to get rid of their work to have some free time for their selves. But in this place with Rosemary, no one will experience these rush feelings. I felt she was enjoying her time even more than I was! She didn't once look at her watch or rush me! Rather, she forgot herself and was immersed in her work! So in my case, instead of finishing at 3:25 she was done at 3:40 pm at the same price! She is relaxed, laid back and nice. Fourth, usually facials are only about the face treatment, but in this place one gets a massage on the shoulders, neck, hands and feet. Your skin and your body will thank you for this visit! I am a student who has no time to review every place I visit, but today I felt it was very wrong and selfish to keep this experience and enjoyment only for myself! I believe this is the first time I gave a place five stars with no a doubt or hesitation! Furthermore, this is ​the longest review I would write ever!:) Thank you 'A spirit's touch' for this amazing experience! You add one more reason to love Columbus even more! A spirit's touch is a place for soul and body! If you ever gain a big achievement, and want to reward yourself, go visit this place! Rosemary will treat you as a special angel!

I was ready for a big change! Skylar was amazing and completely surprised me with her recommendations. After learning I would be traveling to Vegas soon, she said I should wait on coloring it so it wouldn't fade in the sun. We also had a long conversation where I discovered the conditioners I was using were too heavy. I was doing too much for my type of hair. She gave me so much layering and body, while lightening the weight. My hair is so much easier to manage now and looks 100 times better. She could have colored my hair and charged me more, but instead told me what i needed. I can't thank her enough! I will definitely book her for all my future appointments. 1 before pic and 2 after pics

I had an appointment later in the afternoon. I went to their Asian hair and fade "specialist" and…read moreasked for short spikey hair with a super tight fade. I paid 57 bucks plus tip for this "cut." Once the next appointment showed up, mine was put on fast forward and I was shooed out the door - but not before trying to sell me a bunch of stuff. My hair cut had more lines than a movie script. Also, there was no fade. Just short hair. The hair wash was very nice. When I went back so that they could "fix" the previous attempt, I wasn't charged - though I kinda felt like they shoulda paid me! I'd go there again if you drove and paid for the first cut, and the following "fix it" cuts.

I was recommended to this spot by a friend so I was excited to try it out. Thanh Do (hopefully I'm…read moreright) did my deluxe pedicure with gel polish and she did a phenomenal job. She was gentle, but very precise and I was comfortable the entire hour. There was another lady who brought me the color I chose and did a swatch of the color I picked and a similar- and I ended up choosing the other color she brought. I thought that was nice of her to do, since most places do not typically do that. The shop looks spacious and clean, with many nail techs ready to take on customers. I did make an appointment, and even after checking in I was asked twice what I was getting done by techs or managers that did not complete my service- which was confusing. Overall my service was great and hopefully I will be back again in the future :)

To start off, I'm not one to complain, and the place itself is actually very nice, but…read moreunfortunately, this is how my nails ended up. Within the first 7 hours, one of the pearls had already fallen off. By the next morning, the second one was gone. Now, two of my nails have completely fallen off, and I don't even know what to do. To make matters worse, they charged me an extra $25 just for the two nails with the pearls and the two butterflies. I really had high hopes for this place; I genuinely hoped it would be different from the others. But unfortunately, I will not be returning. I'm so sorry, but this is my honest review of this place, and I couldn't be any more honest. How can you love a place where you paid over a hundred dollars to get your nails done, only for them to fall apart and lose the pearls right away? Honestly, the only thing I want to do now is never go back there."

I…read moreexpected a private room or atleast a little bit of privacy for my "relaxing facial" but it was very similar to being at a hair salon. The floor plan is open, there was zero privacy and I was sat right by the front door. People checking in could see me, I could hear everyone's conversation and barely the music. It was overall awkward and not very relaxing from my previous experiences. I don't believe I will be going back- the price was very high for a nail salon feel. The facial itself, was enjoyable.

Loved my experience at Boss Gal in Grandview. Before my visit I had heard about Boss Gal on…read moreInstagram. A lot of people I know go there for skin care services and that's exactly what I was looking for. After browsing their reviews on Yelp and the services on their website, I made an appointment for a few days later - it was super easy. I arrived to find a very spa-like, cozy and calming space. I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and it wasn't very long before a staff member introduced themselves to me and led me back to a room to discuss my needs. I had Brittany and she was lovely. She asked a lot of questions about what I was looking for, gave me options to choose from, and even priced me out before getting things started. That was really appreciated by the way. She sold me on a membership type deal where they collect $50 on a monthly basis and add it to a "bank" that I can use for services in the future. It pretty much adds up over time until your next visit and then it doesn't feel like as much of an expense when the time comes. I've done this at nail salons and can confirm it's a nice thing to have. For this trip I went with some wrinkle relaxers, aka botox. It had been a hot minute since the last time I got it and it was a breeze. Pain free to the point where I hardly felt it. My results came in within a week or so and they're great. I definitely plan on continuing so I can maintain some youthful skin as I age. I have no doubt that I'll give their other services a go in the future. I'll end with a few things I always look for in a business.. This spot is locally owned, it's affordable, the service was great, and the place is really clean.
