I had an amazing therapeutic massage with Carolyn. I felt comfortable with explaining what I would like focused on, and left feeling extremely relaxed with basically no tension left in my body. The ambiance was nice and cozy. I’ll definitely be returning!
Ive had the pleasure of working with Sarah Mechelke at Stacey O. Studio in preparation for my wedding in June, and I cannot sing her praises enough. I decided to focus on my skincare about a year ago, and after hearing glowing reviews about Stacey O. Studio, I decided to give it a try. From my very first appointment with Sarah, I knew I had found someone special.Sarah took the time to understand my skin’s unique needs and goals, and together we set up monthly appointments leading up to my wedding. Each facial was meticulously customized to address my skin’s changing needs, and Sarah’s approach was both thorough and attentive. We would always sit down before each session to discuss how my skin was feeling, any concerns I had, and what we hoped to achieve that day. Her recommendations were spot-on, from product suggestions to adjustments in my skincare routine.One of the standout aspects of working with Sarah was her availability and willingness to provide support beyond our appointments. She was always just a text away for any questions or additional guidance, which was incredibly reassuring. Her dedication and expertise genuinely transformed my skin over just a few months.On my wedding day, my skin looked absolutely flawless—a moment that still brings me to tears when I think about it. Sarah’s passion for her work and her kind, caring nature made every visit a joy. She is also incredibly mindful of her clients budgets, offering multiple options and being transparent about costs, which made my skincare goals attainable within my financial plan.In short, Sarah Mechelke is a gem in the world of esthetics. Her skills, combined with her genuine kindness and dedication to her clients, make her stand out as one of the best in the field. I am so grateful for the role she played in helping me look and feel my best on such a significant day, and I can’t wait to continue to see her in the years to come! If you’re looking for an esthetician who truly cares and delivers exceptional results, look no further than Sarah at Stacey O. Studio!
I keep coming back to this studio because it feels so cozy and welcoming! I have booked with 3 different massage therapists here (McKenzie, Stephanie and Carolyn) and all of them did a wonderful job. Theyre all very professional and help you feel at ease. I cant recommend them enough!
I am a military female soldier. I have been through Basic Training Rucks and now I am supposed to go on my AIT ruck before graduating in two weeks. I booked my 30 minute massage for $50.00 online a day before my appointment. I just finished my deep massage and my body feels absolutely relaxed!!! Fellow customers I highly recommend that you book online and come in, it is such an amazing massage that I plan on returning on family day or graduation day in two weeks before I leave Fort Jackson. All soldiers who have graduated go here! *happily sighs*.
Last week I was fortunate enough to visit Stacey O. Studio for the fourth time. The bar was set extremely high by my first three visits - absolutely fantastic massages with McKenzie and Antonio plus a Sacral Cranial session with Antonio (a must try!).The magic hands of Stephanie did NOT disappoint! Stephanie applied techniques I was not aware even existed. Her ability to read the body and find areas that need work is uncanny! She found places that I was unaware were even an issue - truly amazing.Walking into Stacey O. Studio is like traveling through a wormhole to Planet Tranquility. My body and mind (and soul!) are absolutely vibrating at a much higher frequency since I began regular sessions. There is no place like this in the WORLD, much less the SC Midlands.
I LOVE this studio!! I use Sarah for my facials, and she is the kindest soul. She took the time to create a custom, holistic routine to help me handle my acne and calm my skin, and the studio itself is very clean and soothing. I highly recommend this business!!
I had a custom facial with Sarah. She was amazing! She made my skin GLOW! She also offered great tips and recommendations for products. I would highly recommend getting your next facial with Sarah. While youre there, take a minute to appreciate the setting. The space is super cute and is decorated with fun pieces that celebrate the history of the building. I love it and cant wait to book with Sarah again!
I decided to try Stacey O. for the first time last week and it was absolutely amazing!!! I received a therapeutic massage and felt completely relaxed afterward. I’ve had massages at multiple places in the past but this one was hands down the most calming. I raved about Carolyn to my friends and they immediately got appointments scheduled for future dates. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. Definitely will be back!!
After I got engaged last July I decided to try and get my dry/combination skin under control before my wedding day. Thank goodness I found Stacey O. Studio!Stacey and Bridget were both amazing at listening to my skin concerns and customizing treatments each time I came in for a facial. Im so sad I had to move after my wedding because I really felt that they cared about my goals and my lifestyle. Stacey was available for call or text if I had questions between appointments and would even research information for me if need be.The products they use are carefully selected and contain only the top of the line ingredients. The oxygen facial I received just before my wedding day in April helped my dry skin glow beautifully! I would recommend anyone to try this studio whatever their skin condition because they truly care about getting to know you and helping you achieve healthy happy skin.
First massage ever this evening, and Im hooked. Antonio was very kind, considerate, and empathetic, making sure he knew what needed focused on. But he didnt hyperfocus on my sore areas, which created so much relaxation. Great ambiance, quiet environment. Absolutely loved it, and will be coming back.
Antonio provided one the best/thoughtful massages I have ever had!!! Honestly, the whole spa was charming, inviting, and automatically put me at ease. Then, the massage was exactly what I needed. There was not pain, but total release and relaxation. My body feels 100% better than when I went in :)
So appreciative of Antonio’s therapeutic bodywork yesterday. He was able to take me the same day I reached out to him in hopes of relieving some locked up pain I’ve been having for days, affecting my sleep and gait. I slept like a champ and have zero pain today!!!!! Thank you for your time, healing hands and energy ✨🤍🙏🏼
My first time at Stacy O. Studio. Nice location. Tight parking in front. I think there maybe additional parking in back. Interior nicely decorated which looked like my grandmothers furniture. A delightful step back in time. The ceiling was painted in what seemed to be a collage of various couleurs that resembled the sky. Its a relaxed atmosphere for sure.This is certainly not Message Envy. Not knocking them, just comparing the décor. The therapist who worked with me was very gentle, polite and seemed to genuinely to care.I must say I requested a deep tissue massage and felt as though I got a Swedish instead. I was very relaxed when I left. But unfortunately my major complaint, wasnt fully addressed. So, I left disappointed. I would go back and give them a second chance and definitely choose another therapist. Also its a great neighborhood to get a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.
*Edited/Updated: after my previous experience, the owner Stacey reached out to me immediately to try to make things right. I had another massage with Mckenzie which was phenomenal. I really appreciate Stacey taking the time to reach out to me to make sure I was happy with the experience, and I would definitely book another session with Mckenzie!Unfortunately I was not completely satisfied with my massage with Antonio. I specifically requested a scalp massage, both when booking online and also vocally in person - and did not receive that. I mentioned my chronic neck pain (which I had previously found massage to be successful in treating while living in GA), and for several days after my massage my neck pain significantly worsened and range of motion was limited. I cant in good conscience recommend this place to others or return for another session. The studio itself was very cute and clean.
10/10 will be returning to Stacey O. Studio! I had a therapeutic massage with Carolyn Wadkins and oh my goodness. It was amazing. I’ve never experienced such skilled work! I cannot wait to return.
I had a 75 Minutes Therapeutic Massage with Mckenzie Butler and I must say, it was the best that Ive ever had! The session started as soon as I got in (no time wasted in paper work etc), the pressure was perfect and overall I had a soothing and rejuvenating experience. Mckenzie did a great job and would definitely recommend!!
I booked a couples massage for my partner and I with McKenzie and Antonio. We had an hour long session for a deep rub. McKenzie did mine and was awesome! Antonio was the same with my partner. This was my first massage and left there feeling so relaxed and amazing. My partner said she felt the same and that Antonio was able to work around her back issues that no one else would touch. I highly recommend this place!! I am from MI and only in Columbia a couple times a year and will start booking an appointment for us every time. McKenzie and Antonio you are rock stars!!
Love coming here! Sarah is by far beyond amazing with her facials and recommendations. I love all the brands they sell + incorporate. I have been coming monthly and won’t stop!
I can’t say enough good things about Stacey O. Studios! My esthetician Sarah was AMAZING, she was so kind, very knowledgeable and educating of my skin. The environment was cozy and all around peaceful, not to mention you can’t beat their prices for the quality of work done. 100/10 would recommend to anyone in the Cola area!
My local go to for facials and massages! My face was dewy and happy and the masseuse worked out my knots and noticed things others have missed. Be sure to book in advance and it’s so worth it! Love all the products they use and have bought several for myself after
I went to Stacey O to pamper myself before getting married. She helped me pick a treatment that made my sensitive, acne-prone skin absolutely glow and even gave me a bonus facial treatment. She truly is concerned that her clients come out of the studio happy, and she is also just a really interesting, friendly person. The quality of the services I received was top-notch, and the studio itself is so relaxing and beautifully decorated. I cannot say enough good things about Stacey or her professionalism and skill as an esthetician.
**Stacey immediately contacted me and was so generous in her offering to make up for the slight disappointment in yesterdays session. She is truly the loveliest, most loving person. A facial with her was so very relaxing and healing.Its hard to say whether I would recommend or this massage studio or not. I called ahead of booking to ask which therapist would be the best for my needs, I have some exercise- and stress-related muscle soreness that needed strong pressure. They recommended Antonio. So I booked a 60 minute session with him. He was right on time and certainly nice enough. Some of his techniques felt amazing and I never felt uncomfortable. But I had mentioned both on the intake paper and when talking to him that I carry a lot of stress in my jaw. At the end of the massage, he had skipped that area so I asked if it was too late for him to quickly give me a jaw massage. He said that it was too late and that he had another client coming. I fully understand that, but it wouldve only taken 30 seconds to a minute to do a really quick rub of that area. So that was disappointing, because that was one of the top areas that I needed. But other than that everything else was great.
I frequent Stacey O Studios a couple of times a month and what happy days those are!! Sarah is a super knowledgeable esthetician and such a delight to talk to. And McKenzie is the best kept secret in Columbia. Hands down the best massage Ive ever received. That lady has a gift :)
Cannot say enough about how great my experience was at Stacey O Studios. I was in severe pain when I made an appointment and they were so kind and helpful right from the start. Stephanie and Josh were fantastic and I highly recommend them for a massage. Also, the office is *gorgeous* and the products they use are awesome too. I have very sensitive skin and didnt react to anything. Definitely coming back here!!!
This was my first time meeting Stacey and getting treatments here. She is absolutely wonderful. I felt right at home as soon as I stepped in the door. Everything is super clean and cozy. She took her time and explained all options and what she thought would work best for me and my skin. I cannot say enough about my experience here. I highly recommend going to see her! You wont be disappointed.
Found this amazing spa on TripAdvisor while working in Columbia….I fancy myself as somewhat of a spa connoisseur as I plan my vacations around spa services across the country and have been to some of the best and most exclusive!!!! What a gem this one is!!!! McKenzie gave me the absolute best massage of my life and the facial with Sarah was beyond fantastic. Can’t wait to go back. If you’re ever in Columbia, be sure and make an appointment! 😍😍
I have had facials from both Stacey and Bridgette and they are both phenomenal. They are so knowledgeable and always know exactly what my skin needs. My skin looks so much better since going to see them and using their recommendations. I also love their customer service. They are so accommodating and I truly feel taken care of. I highly recommend this place if your looking for a relaxing place to get a great facial.
I love this place with all of my heart, and I would say that I have higher than average expectations when it comes to esthetics. I was nervous about finding a great esthetician when I moved to Columbia, and finding Sarah just felt like it was meant to be! She is great at explaining treatments and setting expectations, and it really helps that she’s a total doll. I always look forward to visiting, and I leave on cloud nine.
Beautiful place and atmosphere. I felt lighter and 1000 times better after my massage with Carolyn. I will definitely come back. Thank you!
Started going about a year ago. Sarah is by the far the sweetest and most knowledgeable esthetician I’ve been with. Highly recommend this place. Very welcoming and calm place to have whatever service you choose.
Quite simply the best place for facials and massage! Recently had the Temple of Beauty Facial with clean beauty brand Odacite with Bradleigh. Wow!!!! Never had a more relaxing facial in my life. Added bonus was the radiating glow that I had for two full days! Two days! Can’t wait for my next treatment!
The staff here always make me feel welcome and relaxed! Ive been a few times so far, for massages and a facial. Each time, I leave feeling like Im on a cloud. They really know what theyre doing! Im only knocking one star because its not as accessible as I wish it was. Their ramp leads to one of the massage rooms, so if someone is already on the table, you have to go up the front stairs, or the (fewer) stairs at the back and walk through their kitchen to get to the main area. They always help me, though, and its well worth the inconvenience if youre still pretty mobile.
As usual, I received the greatest services and treatment at Stacey O Studio. I have always had the most exceptionally wonderful experience! A very special thanks and distinguished note of gratitude to Bridget Shine! She lives up to her name in so many ways.
First time at Stacy O. First time getting a massage. I saw McKenzie. Amazing experience. I had no idea what I’ve been missing all my life. She was easy to talk to and did a great job. Like I said, can not believe I’ve never had a massage and now I know I need to make it a regular thing.
A wonderful experience - my first at the new, beautiful location! The new location is a well-deserved upgrade for Stacey and her staff, a gorgeous house on Devine St. with a few treatment rooms. I had a deep tissue massage with Stephanie and a facial with Stacey - both long overdue -- and this was a great pairing. Stephanies deep tissue massage is the real deal -- and one nice thing here is that deep tissue isnt considered an upgrade to a higher price tier. Stacey always manages to give me insight into my skin and help me find the best approach for what works for me without pushing pricey product purchases. Shes smart and practical, and she brings positive energy and love into everything she does -- bonus! Ill be back ....
Stacey is such an amazing person!! She really listens to your needs and figures out exactly the right protocols and products for what progress you want to see with your skin. Her studio has wonderful vibes and makes you feel right at home. I am currently living in Virginia now but whenever I am passing through SC I make a stop at her studio for a nice microderm and chem peel. Def recommend her studio!!!
I dont get massages very often, but I have had enough opportunities to know what Im looking for. This place does everything right. Gina was friendly, personable and helpful both on the phone and in person. There was no long survey to fill out - just a few short, pertinent questions on pain points, areas of focus, etc, and no attempt to upsell into additional products, services, or package deals. No fuss, no drama.McKenzie is an excellent therapist who worked with me to address my trouble spots and made sure to adjust everything, from applied pressure to the volume of the music in the room, to my liking. I made my appointment specifically to work on some painful tension in my shoulders and neck, and McKenzie gave extra care to those areas and left me feeling better than I have in days.I will definitely be back when I can, and highly recommend McKenzie and Stacey O Studio.
I had a facial with Bradleigh today and it was amazing! I’m pregnant and she was very knowledgeable about the specific skincare items I couldn’t use. I will definitely be going back throughout the rest of my pregnancy! Highly recommended!
I book my appointments with Bridget and shes absolutely amazing! I was recommended to come here and i have been coming ever since. I started out with really bad hyper pigmentation and mild acne and 4 chemical peels later my face is doing so much better! Great and friendly staff, relaxing environment, and relatively affordable prices.
I left my facial with my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated and my mind soothed. The studio is a peaceful oasis, where all the staff do their best to make you feel welcome and nurtured. Their line of products is amazing too. Highly, highly recommend!
I had one of the best massages I have ever had here!! McKenzie was very attentive to my needs and worked out some horrific knots I didnt even know were there! Plus, easy parking, great staff, and a cozy, homely feeling. I highly recommend the services here!!
First rate experience in a charming older house beautifully restored and on picturesque Devine St. First time getting a massage and I did so only because my shoulder and neck was so sore. McKenzie knows her stuff and is a pro. Ill probably go back soon but this time just for the indulgence.
The world is heavy right now and I really needed some self care but was hesitant about going to a public space. Stacey and her team take this pandemic very seriously and allowed me to relax, fully. From start to finish they had strict protocol and stuck by them. I had a massage and facial with Molli and I am not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best of my life. Molli is so kind and talented and again, helped me relax and remove myself from the chaos of the world for an hour and a half. I cannot recommend them enough.
I’ve been meaning to post this since my visit but LOVE this place and Sarah is just amazing! I came in knowing nothing about skin care but from her caring and knowledgable self I have learned so much and my skin is showing it. Best chemical peel/facial ever. Thank you, Sarah!!
I really can’t say enough about their services. I had a Chemical Peel done by Sarah and it was the best experience ever. I’ve never had any professional services done to my skin and it was definitely time!! Ten stars!!!
This is the BEST place I’ve visited. The service is GREAT, the employees are GREAT; especially Sarah. I really enjoy all of my facial treatments with her because she’s very knowledgeable and passionate about everything she does.🥰 I would highly recommend this place because everything is GREAT and they make u feel welcomed.
Stacey is lovely. Her spirit is amazing and makes you feel beautiful! In a journey like this, you need someone full with enthusiasm. She is definitely the person!
Cindy did an excellent & fabulous job working on my upper back, shoulders and neck. My body feels so much tension relief! Definitely will be back ! Thank u
Bridget is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and shows great compassion for her clients. I look forward to my next appointment! ☺️
McKenzie was my therapist today and she was AMAZING!!! I feel fantastic and cant wait until my next appointment!!
Mckenzie is the best massage therapist by far. Magical hands!
Charming environment and profound, result-oriented treatments by highly skilled, wonderful people. I love Stacey O Studio!
My husband had a lovely facial, and I had a session of reiki. It was wonderful. I highly recommend this place.
I had the wonderul experience of a 75min therapeutic massage with Antonio.
Awesome massage. Took care of my stiff back and shoulders. Its been 3 weeks and Im still feeling great
Antonio was wonderful. Very pleasant environment. I left feeling so refreshed and relaxed.
I started getting facials here and I look forward to it every month! Sarah is the best 😊
