Antonio is a terrific massage therapist!

I had never gotten a facial before, so I'm a true amateur and was a bit nervous. I booked a facial with Bradleigh, and had a FANTASTIC experience. She took the time to talk to me about what was going on with my skin before we started, made sure I was comfortable with every step of the process, and I left knowing how to take care of my skin at home later. Maybe it's just because I'm new at this, but I didnt realize how big of a difference one day of treatment could make. Highly recommend!

This place has so much love and soul! I am always excited for an appointment. I've seen several of their massage therapists and had a good experience with everyone. If you're looking for a cozy place to feel completely welcome, this is it.

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!

I've 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!

great service!

*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 can't 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.

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 :)

Feb 05, 2024

Antonio was wonderful. Very pleasant environment. I left feeling so refreshed and relaxed.

Feb 05, 2024

Beautiful place and atmosphere. I felt lighter and 1000 times better after my massage with Carolyn. I will definitely come back. Thank you!

Feb 05, 2024

First massage ever this evening, and I'm hooked. Antonio was very kind, considerate, and empathetic, making sure he knew what needed focused on. But he didn't hyperfocus on my sore areas, which created so much relaxation. Great ambiance, quiet environment. Absolutely loved it, and will be coming back.

Feb 05, 2024

Great experience every single time. Mckenzie is the best!

Feb 05, 2024

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!!

Feb 05, 2024

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!!

Feb 05, 2024

I had a 75 Minutes Therapeutic Massage with Mckenzie Butler and I must say, it was the best that I've 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!!

Feb 05, 2024

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 you're 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 can't wait to book with Sarah again!

Feb 05, 2024

I had the wonderul experience of a 75min therapeutic massage with Antonio.

Feb 05, 2024

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. They're all very professional and help you feel at ease. I can't recommend them enough!

Feb 05, 2024

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!

Feb 05, 2024

Mckenzie is the best massage therapist by far. Magical hands!

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 grandmother's 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. It's 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, wasn't fully addressed. So, I left disappointed. I would go back and give them a second chance and definitely choose another therapist. Also it's a great neighborhood to get a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.

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

Feb 05, 2024

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 ✨🤍🙏🏼

Feb 05, 2024

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.

**Stacey immediately contacted me and was so generous in her offering to make up for the slight disappointment in yesterday's session. She is truly the loveliest, most loving person. A facial with her was so very relaxing and healing. It's 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 would've 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.

Feb 05, 2023

I booked a couple's 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!!

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.

Feb 05, 2023

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!

Feb 05, 2023

The staff here always make me feel welcome and relaxed! I've been a few times so far, for massages and a facial. Each time, I leave feeling like I'm on a cloud. They really know what they're doing! I'm only knocking one star because it's 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 it's well worth the inconvenience if you're still pretty mobile.

Feb 05, 2023

Very nice place great service. I love its Try its for yourself you love it's too.

Feb 05, 2022

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.

Feb 05, 2022

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! 😍😍

Feb 05, 2022

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!

Feb 05, 2022

I frequent Stacey O Studio's 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 I've ever received. That lady has a gift :)

Feb 05, 2022

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.

My husband had a lovely facial, and I had a session of reiki. It was wonderful. I highly recommend this place.
