I was lucky enough to tag along with my friend to a Charlie Club event here. It was a great night but not something I'd usually do, which is good because I love trying new things. I'm really glad I went because I had heard about their sampler nights where you pay (I believe) $30 and get to try a few of their different services. So when my friend invited me to this, I was really excited. There were different stations set up that we made our way to all while snacking, sipping wine & looking around at the different products they sell (which seems to be mainly jewelry from what I saw). The first station we went to was pretty quick & easy. There was a machine that was supposed to measure the amount of antibodies in our body through a laser that penetrates the first couple of layers of our skin on the palm of our hands. The machine provides you with a number that you can then use to see what you rate on their scale, which ranges from something like normal american to excellent/very healthy. There was also a station where you step on a scale and get your metabolic analysis. They give you a sheet of paper that gives you a bunch of info from your weight to bone density to water absorption (there's a bunch more, I just can't remember them all). My favorite one was my metabolic age, which was 19 thankyouverymuch. My friend spoke with their Reiki master while I was getting a massage on the migun bed, which is what I was really looking forward to. This is something I could see myself using on a regular basis seeing as I'm not down with traditional massages because I'm not really into strangers rubbing on my naked body. Sorry, no thanks. But I most certainly will lay on a bed, fully clothed, while a bunch of rollers work out my back. I was only on there for 15 minutes and I can just imagine how great I'd feel if I did an hour. I'm sure it's not as good as a "real massage" but it's so reasonably priced at $35 for an hour! This is an absolutely beautiful spa. When you leave the front part of the store and go into the back where they do most of the treatments, it's really like you're transported to another place. I highly recommend at least going for their sampler night to check out some of the great services they offer. I know I'll be back because there's a migun bed calling my name. read more

I was recently on a trip from SF for a conference and thought I would treat myself to a 90 min massage. I had been here before and thought it would be a similar experience. I receive massages very frequently and think they are very important, so I just needed a good massage to relax and make use of some free time. The massage was fine, nothing extreme - definitely wasn't a deep tissue massage as my bill suggested, but that wasn't even the issue. The issue was the cost... I see it has 2 dollar signs listed here on YELP, well if you think $165 for a $90 minute massage is a cheap price, please disregard this all together. Not to mention a gratuity - I've always left an extra $20 bucks, so add that in for a grand total of $185 for a 90 minute massage. I live in SF and massages go for around $105 - $120 for $90 min... I think the space at Seeking Indigo is beautiful and have no problem paying a premium for top notch service, but this was lack luster at best with a large price tag. Now understandably, I should have asked for the price prior to the service, but having been there before and received what I considered a more in depth service (the detox), I assumed the cost would be similar at best. I don't think I would recommend it unless you have money to burn or you make sure of the price up front. There are several massage options available in Charleston - the cost should be more friendly without question. read more

I had a wonderfully relaxing afternoon here. I was greeted by a young woman who guided me through my treatments. My favorite was the infrared sauna - which will become a weekly habit. I can still feel a difference in my circulation, and my skin looks more radiant. They only take a few clients at a time, so the environment remains quiet and tranquil. Certainly worth a visit. read more

This wellness center is an all-around treat. From the signature massage to the migun beds to the infared sauna... The staff was very attentive and kind and the ambiance inspired. Highly recommended! read more

About a month ago I went to Seeking Indigo as I had a gift certificate for a spa package. Upon walking in I had high hopes because the entry way and store are beautifully decorated and set up. I had a fine check in experience and went to sit in the waiting area waiting to be taken back. Part of my package was a foot bath and what I soon found out was that you get it. In. The. Waiting. Area. So there I am, with my feet in a small tub with crystals, among the other women waiting for their treatments. Strike One. After the subpar foot bath, I had the migun thermal massage which was okay. Not a true massage by any sorts. You're clothed, in the open, on a hot bed with hard balls rolling up and down your back. They kept me on there twice as long as I should be because they were backed up for the 3rd part of my package. Strike Two. Once they got me off the migun massage bed (which wasn't relaxing) I was informed that the sauna was full and I wouldn't be able to finish my package that day. I could come back for it though. Strike 3. At that point, I just said I was good, paid the front desk and left. With all the great spa choices in Charleston (Urban Nirvana, Bohemia, etc) I would not go back to Seeking Indigo. read more

Great boutique health and wellness shop. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgable about the treatment options. I really enjoyed all the handcrafted jewelry and clothing. I definitely can't wait to come back to Charleston and stop in again. read more

Beautiful spa, and I had the most incredible Ayurvedic treatment there. Can't wait until I go back to Charleston so I can go back for more ;) read more

I originally stopped outside the storefront so my dogs could drink some water. From there I wandered in, booked two migun bed massages, and bought some lovely jewelry. Over my four visits to the store, I was impressed by the staff's pleasantness and helpfulness. The spa area behind the store is lovely, and I enjoyed my migun massages - the prices can't be beat for that service. read more

This place was sincerely the best! Betsy helped us and was soo soo nice!! I moved here over a year ago and have always been meaning to come. A friend from home was visiting so I thought ok! Let's do it. We both got a tarot reading from Jackie and while we waited. Betsy made sure we relaxed in one of their fancy energy healing beds. I understand this place is now under new ownership and will soon be called indigo Charleston. Everyone should go!! Such sweet caring people here. read more

This Spa leaves much to be desired. The staff are generally unhappy and scared of management. I am a regular customer and everytime i go for a massage, i get a different therapist. It seems the Spa cannot hold on to its staff. read more

I am sure it would have been a wonderful facial if they had actually performed the service. After booking my appointment online and receiving a confirmation email, I arrived at the spa to be told my reservation wasnt valid and I should have received a cancellation email. Then they chastised me for not having called to schedule ( I did call but they were unavailable). So much for southern hospitality, or even a relaxing experience, they were rude, condisending, and illustrated poor management skills. read more

A friend of mine and I happened upon Seeking Indigo while shopping our way through Charleston in early May 2013. The front of the space is a boutique while the back is a wellness center. The girl who was working up front was super friendly and informative, so we decided to give the wellness center a shot and booked an "Ultimate Detox" for the next morning. We showed up at about 9:50AM, which was about 10 minutes before our appointment, as instructed, but the store was locked. So we walked around a bit and returned. When we entered and said that we were there for our services, the woman said hello, but was not what I would call inviting or friendly. Since the weather had finally turned from days and days of rain to sunshine and blue skies, we decided to cut our services down from the two-hour "Ultimate Detox" to the 90-minute "Detox to the Max", the only difference being 30 minutes and no amethyst bio-mat session. Since there is no actual therapist involved in any of these treatments other than leading you to them so that you can lie or sit there, we did not think this would be much of a problem, but she seemed mildly annoyed, which, I guess, is sort of understandable. Anyways, she then led us back to the sauna area and closed the curtain with her only direction being that there were two towels and two robes hanging for us. I asked what we were supposed to do and she said, get undressed, so we did. We undressed in the dark and, guessing we were supposed to enter the sauna, groped our way into it for 30 minutes. The sauna was really nice and we got a good sweat going, only to find out that there was nowhere to rinse off afterwards, and were instead supposed to rinse off using iced wash cloths and then re-dress in our street clothes for the rest of the therapies. We made this work, but it is a good thing that we are such good friends because two people, drenched in sweat, toweling each other off with icy wash cloths in a 4'x6' curtained room was pretty intimate - thank goodness it was so dark! We then picked up the rest of our stuff and the lady returned to take me to my 30-minute migun massage table session (She did seem to be in better spirits at this point). This is a table on which you lie that massages you while listening to the sounds of rain and the ocean. It was nice and I could see using something like this if I owned it in my home, but would probably opt for a live massage therapist in the future so that they can focus on tight areas, etc, per your direction. After this, I went for an ion cleanse foot detox bath. This was something that we had both read about and knew was probably a scam, but wanted to give a try anyways. The odd thing is that they have this beautiful, relaxing candlelit room with a sofa when you enter the wellness area, but they put us out in the boutique area for the soak, which was not as relaxing and lacked the ambience of the wellness area. The results truly do look super gross, although I am not sure if it was produced by the machine itself or from my body detoxing. A very pleasant girl then looked at the colors and foam in the water basin to tell us what we had just detoxed (liver, gallbladder, etc). Regardless of whether this is legit, the foot soak was nice. Overall, the décor is really, really gorgeous and the boutique has a lot of really interesting, unique items, but I would not go back for detox services as it is just not my thing. Some suggestions would be cubbies to hold your personal items and somewhere to rinse off from the sauna. Additionally, for new clients, some better communication of what to expect and what was happening from the staff would be a major bonus. We literally did not know what was happening or what we were supposed to do almost the entire time - and when we asked questions of the woman in charge, it seemed like we were supposed to have known the answer already. Anyways, it was an interesting experience and was not super expensive ($65), so it could certainly have been worse, but I am not sure I would recommend it. On a side note, however, it seemed like their yoga classes in the back area would be amazing - and also their list of massage therapies (with a real therapist in a walled-in massage room) sounded promising. read more
