    Love love love! Urban Nirvana is the spa spot in Charleston. Booked my appointment online - wanted to book a 90 mins session but the weekend it was a little hard to do so unless I book a month out. Parking could be a little crazy in the weekend but if needed the EarthFare parking space is pretty close walk The storefront had promotional items (there was this really really soft PJ on sale the day I was there!). Walking in was greeted by a really nice receptionist, the store smells amazing. Was asked if I wanted to change into a rob or wait at the waiting room for my theraphist. I chose the rob option! :D Was lead to a locker room put on my rob was. So soft an comfy. Headed to a waiting area... with a mgazines and lemon water. Waited for a sec, and my therapist Hollie came to greet me. The massage bed was heated(LOVE!). Hollie did an amazing job. I forgot the technique she mentioned but it was very pressure-point-based, and we only had time for the first half of the body. Iw as sore for the day haha but good kind of sore. Cant wait to go to my next one!

    The beautiful hallway that fills and delights your senses as you enter the spa.

    My husband and I booked a couples massage while on our honeymoon. Wow did the experience at this spa live up to the word nirvana! Upon entering this oasis you immediately relax and leave your worries and thoughts behind as you walk down the hallway to the spa. From the sounds to the sights of this original Charleston carriage house you are taken to another wonderful place. Christie was my therapist and is perhaps one of the greatest. One hour with Christie was better than a day at the Woodhouse. My husband had the same experience with his wonderful therapist. We highly recommend Urban Nirvana!

This is the second time I've been to woodhouse spa but my first time at the downtown location. The robes are so nice and comfortable and I love the warm aromatherapy neck pillows they offer you while you lounge for your appointment. They had, water, tea, wines and mimosas to choose for your drink and Chex mix to snack on. While we were waiting for our service, we were offered a lovely tray of truffles that said happy anniversary. It was so thoughtful and sweet! The bathrooms have showers, mouthwash, and salt scrub.

The lobby is large with several add on options and some jewelry and other items. The receptionist was pleasant and there was space to hold my bag as I was heading to the airport right after. The spa was clean and very relaxing with two different sitting rooms. The locker rooms had a few private changing areas and restroom and locks in which you set the code. I liked that they had size you needed for robe which was comfortable and the slides. They also gave mimosas and water available in the hallway. As for the Swedish massage, the table was comfortable, heated and the room was dim- set for true relaxation. For a Swedish massage, I would say my masseuse was using very rapid movements, ones that wake you up vs relax. There was also a lot of time spent on upper body and hardly lower and usually when you don't really specify, it's balanced. Overall, lovely spa, decent pricing, but massage could have been better.

We feared we might be turned away. Instead, the young lady at the counter was incredibly helpful, locating them online and saving us another trip. That simple act of customer service was greatly appreciated! The whole space is warm and inviting, aesthetically pleasing and relaxing, from the brick building to the interior design and room decor. There are a variety of rooms to accommodate the many different experiences you can take part in: a large salt "cave," float tank room (with a shower), red light therapy room, large waiting area, and more. There are so many thoughtful touches - it is obvious that the owners took the time to consider everything a guest might need or want: changing rooms with hair dryers, make up wipes, eye covers, q-tips, ear plugs, shampoo and body wash in the showers, robes...the list goes on. There is even complimentary tea in the reception area. We felt so spoiled and so relaxed that we wished we could have stayed all day! I simply can't speak highly enough of this wellness spa and will most definitely be returning.

I have primarily used sugaring for my hair removal services because I have found it more comfortable to go through when compared to the use of hot wax. I have stayed with Christina for so many years because she is so attentive during the sessions, as well as very thorough. I have seen her grow her studio from a tiny space with few retail offerings to a larger spa-like atmosphere offering a variety of services in addition to just sugaring. The studio is exceptionally clean, and Christina has always been very conscious of this aspect, particularly around the pandemic restrictions we all operated under for several years. Christina and her staff are very present to clients and strive to offer extras - flavored waters, hot teas, cups of snacks, soft lighting and music - that make each visit seem like a small spa escape. They make sure clients are aware of recommendations for post-sugaring care and offer products from their own stock for purchase. All the products carried at the studio are high quality, all natural products that Christina and her staff have used and can confidently recommend. All of these things are "value adds" to the overall experience.

I then received a message from the spa stating: "Unfortunately, the professional assigned to your services will be unavailable that day, so we will need to reschedule the appointments. We would be happy to move your services to either the week before or the week after..." I understand that scheduling issues happen. However, I explained that I could only reschedule for Monday or Thursday of that same week and requested the same Local Special rate, or potentially a weekend at the same rate due to my work schedule. Since this was booked in advance and the change was on their end, I asked if they would honor the Local Special pricing on another day that aligns with my schedule. I was told no. There was no effort to accommodate, no compromise offered, and no flexibility despite the inconvenience being caused by their scheduling conflict. For a spa associated with guests and visitors of the Francis Marion Hotel, I expected a much higher level of customer service and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience felt dismissive and inflexible. They simply said no and cancelled my appointments. Locals and tourists, I encourage you to support a business that treats people with common decency. Very disappointing customer service!
