So I needed to find a local place that I liked... Well I got REALLY lucky to find Stacey O. Studio!! Stacey could not have been better at understanding my needs & selecting the right treatments/therapists accordingly. In the last three weeks I've received not one, but TWO amazing treatments here - from McKenzie and Antonio. Both therapists are among the best I've ever experienced - and my bar was set quite high beforehand. Well, said bar has now been blown sky high and I can't wait for my next appointment (which is a treatment I've never experienced before - Cranial Sacral Therapy with Antonio). I am over the moon about regular massages from McKenzie and Antonio moving forward. They both definitely had a sixth sense for finding problem areas and demonstrated great talent in applying what is clearly an amazing skill set to my particular needs (as briefly stated by me and then observed immediately by each therapist when work began). The vibe of the studio immediately lets you know you are in the right place the moment you enter. The decor I'm absolutely genius (note the lights in the fireplace for example). They did such an amazing job preserving what is clearly a historic house and the amazing energy that is stored there, without losing the ambiance of a high end, top notch spa. Mad props to whoever did the interior design! I'd hire you for sure.

Mabel made me feel very comfortable every step of the way. Mabel is AMAZING!!! She is sweet, and works fasts. Surprisingly, I cannot wait to get this service done again. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The customer service is amazing. I booked online. The process was simple, and I received reminders about my appointment. When at the spa, every one is very nice and willing to answer any and all questions. Even listening to them answer their phones- they were professional, and very helpful. LOCATION: The location itself is easy to get to. I came from another state and had no issues with the location or finding parking. THE SPA: Inside, the spa is nicely laid out. There are several rooms for the different services offered. The spa is very calming and CLEAN. If you need waxing, go straight to Body Sugaring!!!!

I went to this facility last year. Wanting to be daring and get a brazilian bikini wax. I was…read morevery hesistant about waxing after reading that it causes so much irritation and how it removes part of the skin b/c of they way its applied and removed. So after doing research discovered that sugaring is being used at some places instead of waxing. Found several places in Columbia that uses sugaring but couldn't get an appt so ended up going here. Place: located in the Vista. Easy to find, metered parking. The inside is very well laid out and decorated. A nails technician works there too. They perform other things besides sugaring. Mabel: she was the lady that gave me my sugaring. She made the experience easy enough while being in such a vulnerable and embarrassing position. She stated that she had almost 12 years at what she does. I was hesistant about her application but she reassured me and did not did twice into the sugar. If necessary she used a new glob. She was very professional. Experience: PAINFUL. This was my first experience in such a tender area. I have have my eyebrows threaded and waxed several times but this pain was different. She assured me that new waxers state it is painful the first few times but as you adjust you adapt. I guess this is true b/c i can get my eyebrows done without a muscle twitch. I would fore warn newbies to take 2 pain relievers at least before going like Tylenol or something. During she applied baby powder b/c i was sweating so much. The sugaring felt warm and applied easily. Afterwards i made sure to wash in the store any excess. When she was finished I love the results. It was smooth and soft. Some reddened areas but she applied a special lotion to prevent breaking out. She even went over how to care for the area. The room: was clean and new sheets applied after I was through. All her products looked well care for. The only thing I didn't like was the positioning of the doorway, once she had to answer a call and when she exited I was left exposed when she opened the door. Also, I wish it had thicker walls b/c I could here her and the client before me clearly while I was in the waiting area. At home: the hair didn't return for almost 4 weeks and my skin wasn't irritated at all. I would definitely do it again, with her or a different facility I'm not sure yet. Price: I pay $55 for student discount but the services are pretty pricey.

She took my seriously outdated hairstyle (if you could even call it that) and updated it with a fabulous new look. She asked questions and listened to my answers, but also used her professional knowledge and talent to make my hair look better than I thought possible. She also told me how she was styling it so that I can recreate the look at home. For once, I feel like I have a cute hairstyle that I can maintain until my next appointment! The salon itself is beautiful. I was a little confused when I walked in and there was no receptionist. However, after watching people come in and out for a few minutes, I decided that the lack of a receptionist really worked well there. It felt more like clients were walking into someone's living room rather than a hair salon. The artwork was gorgeous, if you're into that sort of thing, and the location is perfect for anyone who lives or works in Columbia. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
