I had a wonderful experience a Salt and particularly with Rachel who gave me the best massage that I have EVER had--she is highly professional and versed at making the experience not only therapeutic yet relaxing and provided great feedback without rushing during the massage! Best I have EVER had and thoroughly enjoyed and will see her again! Charlene read more

Ashley and Jo were amazing. The right amount of pressure and no chatting. The spa is large and quiet and clean. My only complaint is it's very impersonal. No asking how the service was as we left, nothing. No hanging out and enjoying the ambience. Get it and go. read more

Favorite downtown yoga spot! Absolutely love the vibe of Salt's yoga studio with the salt lamps, natural light, and clean feeling. There is a spacious welcome area and a very long spa in back. I've been to several different instructors classes and they're all great, but Lauren and Tashi are my favs. The only downside is there is no off street parking lot, but there are ample street metered spots out front. Just give your self extra time to park! read more

Last minute yesterday I booked two head spa appts for my daughter (it was her birthday) and myself for the following day (today). I got a call this morning that the person doing our head spa appts was having car trouble and could we push the appts back by thirty minutes and could one appt switch to be a facial instead of the head spa appt. I understand that things happen so I said sure no problem. We arrive a couple of minutes early and are taken back to wait for our appts to begin. A lady comes to get me first (I'm doing the facial) and beyond asking what type of facial I would like and if I have any allergies doesn't speak more than ten words to me the rest of my appt. She doesn't tell me anything she's doing and at one point I said what are you putting on now because it's kinda spicy on my face. She replies "the exfoliant". That was it. No is it too much - do I need to take it off?! Nothing. Then as she's finishing she says she'll step out while I get dressed and when I come out she's no where to be seen. I sit down to wait for my daughter (whose appt started almost twenty minutes after her scheduled time) and the esthetician never came back to check on me or say goodbye. I've never been to a spa where the customer service was so lacking. It felt like she wanted to be anywhere but there. My daughter who got the head spa treatment was disappointed as well. Not only did the equipment her lady was using fall and hit her in the face, but she came out of the treatment with wet, unbrushed hair and was told to go sit under a dryer in another room for 5 minutes and then she'd be done. She left with damp hair that was greasy and completely disappointed in what we thought would be a fun, birthday treat. The front desk staff was friendly, but I don't think we'd come again based on our experience today. read more

I've been practicing here for years. It's honestly my favorite spa/yoga studio in town. They have a wide variety of yoga classes and their instructors are highly skilled and so enjoyable to practice with. Tashi though, she's incredible! I've had treatments done here as well. The salt room is phenomenal for sinus and respiratory health. The last time I indulged in a message it was like magic. My neck and shoulders felt amazing for weeks. read more

Did a couples massage here and it was great! Super cute waiting area with all the salt lamps. The place is huge! My massage therapist was so good, I walked away feeling like a new woman. Only thing that would have made it better would have been robes while we waited to go back to our room for more of a spa like experience. Otherwise very good and reasonably priced option right downtown Charleston! read more

This place is such a gem and so special! I stopped in twice on a girls trip and was so happy I did. From the studio, to the instructors to the yoga practice, it was spectacular! Highly recommend and will hopefully be back. read more

My friend and I came to this spa and had an appointment for the same treatment except she had an additional treatment that was going to add 25 minutes to her total time compared to mine. We both got brought back at the same time and she got out before I did. We talked about our experiences and they were very different from each other. I understand we had different masseuses, but the massages should generally be the same. There should also be a clear definition of what each service is going to be. We booked a facial along with our massage and it was nothing more than essential oils rubbed on our faces. Maybe that's the norm there, but it felt like a scam. The foot scrub service was just a sugar scrub aggressively rubbed in and then wiped off. No foot massage, lotion, or any type of cleansing. Totally not worth the amount of money we paid. read more

My husband and I stayed in Charleston for our anniversary. We decided to book a couples massage here and it was fantastic. We both almost fell asleep. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

This spa has been my go to spa since moving here. I love that they do a Charleston local discount that I have no seen any other spas do. It had been awhile since my last time there and I had not realized they moved. The new space is amazing! They really nailed the relaxing cozy vibes in the waiting room! I just wanted to stay there all day! They have drinks while you wait too. Of course, I got a mimosa! My boyfriend and I got the 90 minute couples massage + facial! One thing I really like about getting facials by them is that they massage you while your masks are setting so no time is wasted! They massage your head, arms, and legs between each mask! It's so nice! They also made sure to ask about any allergies which I unfortunately do have to grapefruit. I also saw they had an entire salt room that you can sit in while it adds so many benefits to your body! I can't wait to go back for another treatment. read more

On one of my long walks downtown today I decided to stop in at The Salt Spa on King Street and inquire about a 30 minute Migun massage service and luckily they had an opening available! I was surprised by the enormous spa interior once inside. From the moment you step into the spa area you will be in semi- darkness lit only with numerous salt spa lamps and dimly lit floor lamps. A wave of calm will wash over you immediately and you will find yourself giving way to it and enjoying instant relaxation. Salt lamps are good for purifying the air, enhancing your mood and helping you sleep from what I have read. I was led into my private Migun massage table room and was told only to remove my shoes. A blanket was gently placed over me and I immediately found myself surrendering to the experience. The deep infrared heat of the Migun bed helps to relieve stiffness, promotes blood circulation and increases your immune system's ability to fight illness so it is a healthy service to do every now and then if you feel like "jump-starting" your body. read more

Went here with my girlfriend for a couples massage. The spa is absolutely huge inside, and the waiting area is beautiful and relaxing. The massages we got were amazing, I actually fell asleep in mine! I thought they were very fairly priced as well, which is very unusual in Charleston. Will absolutely come back here again!

We had Jo and Liz! My first massage and it did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing! Coming back next time we are in town.

Not only a great spot for retail goodies that are one of a kind, but their yoga space is lovely as well as their massages! Their yoga classes range from super nice vin to yin to vinyassa to power flow. There's something for everyone! Though I wish they ran on the half hour instead of the :15 I do love when the stars align and I can make it in! Their massage waiting space is absolutely lovely as well. There is a ton of space and its dimly lit with lamps. They have various beverages and snacks. Beyond the soothing music they have a water feature that really just adds to it. My husband and I came for a couples massage for his birthday and the massages were absolutely lovely as well. This is already one of my favorite spots in chs and I will continue to show the love! read more

We LOVED this place! I called the afternoon before on Thursday, and Izzie managed to get our party of 7 in for massages the very next day. They were a bit staggered, but it was perfect as our bride was able to get a lengthy massage with her sister while the rest of our party started very shortly after. Not only were they so kind and accommodating the whole time, but the massages were great!! The environment was SO relaxing and so soothing -- I definitely recommend. We only got the basic Swedish massages for $90, but they were so nice and our instructors were super kind/knowledgeable. Definitely recommend -- PERFECT for bachelorette parties/weekends! read more

This place is great! My husband and I booked 60 min massages with mini facials for our honeymoon. When we arrived they seated us in a very low lit Victorian style room that had mimosas, water and tea. When we went back our masseuses were very professional and friendly and asked us about our preferences. After finishing the back part of our bodies they flipped us and paired our facial with the rest of the massage which was so nice. Highly highly recommend. Even my husband enjoyed every part of his service (not usually a massage or facial guy). We will be back the next time we are in Charleston! read more

I attended classes here while in town for work; I signed up through ClassPass. The classes were pretty good, but would be significantly improved with a better sound system. The music was often too loud and I couldn't hear the instructor. The placement of the speakers is also poor. read more

I felt very welcome during the drop in classes I took at Salt ($15 to drop-in and $2 for mat rental). Highly recommend to CHS locals and visitors alike! read more

Buyer beware, you will be gaslit by the owner if they disagree with your review. The owner has been harassing my partner with a plethora of emails with manipulative and vindictive comments. The experience here will be subpar at best, with the majority of the issues you'll deal with coming from the typical challenges of a small business (lack of resources, poor communication, no accountability, etc.) However, things like clearly posted instructions, reasonable staffing resources for the front desk, would alleviate most of these issues. With that said, the ego and attitude of the owner is the biggest turn off and any attempt to reconcile an issue you have will be met with a victim blaming, egocentric, narcissistic disposition. Just because you have therapists who have been doing their job for 15 years doesn't make them good. An average worker for 15 years remains average. An average business owner for 15 years remains average. I'd rate the owner's communication and problem solving skills at zero stars if I could. As for the owner who undoubtedly will be clutching their handmade vegan leather thrift shop coin purse while reading this, don't bother trying to craft a witty response to my review as you're just proving my point in not accepting responsibility for how you run your own business along with your go to strategy of blaming the customer for the poor experience you provide. Thanks! read more

An oasis. This is such an incredible place to do yoga!! The double doors are kept open during class when the weather permits, which brings in lovely sounds and a nice breeze. The light from the salt lamps everywhere is so grounding, especially in the evening classes. Parking is as you can find it on the street. Free! Arrive a few minutes early in case you have to look for a spot. read more

Salt Spa & Yoga - The studio - Massage Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I dropped in for a couple of classes, while in town. I have to say that while both teachers were good, I liked the one earlier on Thursday mornings better. Saturday mornings are just so crowded and in order to not be on top of anyone space wise I had to be in the very back and could barely hear what was being called out to do. While I appreciate that there was music during both classes, the Saturday one may either need to lower the music or have the teacher speak a bit louder. There were a few other girls in the back with me that had the same problem hearing everything. The store part was really cute though and had some unique items if looking for a gift! read more

Three of us came in for massages about a month ago. Loved the staff. The interior is very dark and relaxing. Crystal did my massage - one of the best I have had. In fact all three of us thought our massages were top notch. Will def return when visiting next time. read more

Out-of-body experience, and not in a good way! During these scary times of being fired for using the wrong pronoun, is it possible for a customer to voice concerns or offer feedback without the recipient becoming annoyed or frightened? Followed by the management 'canceling' you by making it too uncomfortable to return? Let me be clear, when I voiced my concerns, I was careful to do it gingerly. I was not angry; I was not sarcastic or argumentative; I was not aggressive. I only wished to enjoy my yoga experience. My husband & I are 75 years old. In 2022, we moved from Chicago to Charleston. We've practiced yoga for years, so we checked out Salt Spa & Yoga. The first class was October 5, 2023. We've attended 30 sessions with various instructors. During the first sessions, instructors burned incense. We were surprised. The yoga we attended in Chicago was fragrance-free to accommodate those who suffer from allergies and asthma, so my husband, who suffers with both, asked about the use here. Then there is the background music. When it's loud, it's irritating. I'm accustomed to, and wish for, a peaceful experience during yoga. We've practiced yoga for years, & never experienced the volumes we experience at Salt. Several of the instructors play it loudly, so much so we can't hear the poses called out. I've asked 3 instructors to turn the music down a bit. Each was annoyed. One asked why. My response, "I'd like to hear what you're saying." Another walked to the shelf, made a motion to turn it down, but did not. Another played the music loudly & because it included words, we couldn't hear her over the words of the songs. Before her next class, I spoke to her. She shrank away as though frightened. Her solution? She will speak louder. Why not just turn the music down a bit? Flow and pace are my other concerns. I recently thanked one instructor for offering us time to enjoy each pose, and also the time between the poses. But others rush through. Some call out the Sanskrit terms for poses. I see class members struggling to figure out what to do and what the Sanskrit terms mean, but by the time we figure it out, the instructor has called out the next two poses. When I brought up the use of the Sanskrit terms to one instructor, she said she demonstrates the poses, but she is not always in our line of sight. Her response, "Well, just move on." But aren't we supposed to flow from one pose to the next? Class members are struggling, but some instructors aren't paying attention. So, in 30 sessions, I spoke to 4 instructors about concerns. Since those concerns were ignored and dismissed, I 'let it go'. Last week, the manager called, leaving a long message about each one of those conversations - incense, background music and flow. The topics were specific, dating back to October! Did she have some client list which detailed every conversation we had with instructors? I don't really understand why she called. Before returning the call, I wrote out the text of my responses to all three topics, and I read the text verbatim when I returned her call. I still did not understand why she called in the first place. After reading my responses, had she replied, "Thank you for your feedback. I will relay all this to the instructors", I would have felt 'heard'. The initial step to good customer service! But no such reply was offered. I suggested customer service training for the instructors to help them understand how to respond to customer feedback, but I was met with silence. What is happening here? Unnerved, I contacted the owner who told me the manager had recorded the conversation! Then she chastised me for what was said to the manager in the last 17 seconds of the recording, "Calling the manager horrible and she is not good at her job and she should find a new job is a little much." I never said that! Yet, during our email conversations, the owner chastised me twice for those last 17 seconds! What is going on? I sent a friend the recording and the text of my email chain with the owner. She responded, "Every email reply, and what is said on the calls is a polite way of saying, 'WE DON'T CARE. PLEASE LEAVE.' Such pat dismissive answers." "PLEASE LEAVE?" For voicing comments or concerns? Well, now I finally understand what is going on here! By the way, in the last 17 seconds of the recording, I stated, "If you can't handle this management job, you need to hand it over to somebody else, because this is not the way you deal with people." The most hurtful realization of this uncomfortable situation is broken trust. We feel deceived. We thought we had good relationships with the Salt instructors. Like the meaning behind the phrase, "Bless your heart!", those relationships were never real. read more

My sister and I came to Charleston for a girls trip, and I found this place through the magic of online searching (including yelp). So first of all: don't let the outside turn you off. The neighborhood is a little run down, but inside, it is just darling. Salt lamps everywhere. Complimentary snacks and mimosas. Friendly staff. We got the 90 minute Swedish massage, and it. was. magic. I've been having shoulder/back pain for weeks (due to stress and moving recently), and Sarah worked it all out. She had the perfect mix of firm pressure and gentle touch. I really think this was the best massage of my life. Also, the oil they use isn't sticky and gross, or smell like weird incense. I wish I lived here so I could go back. I found the pricing to be more than fair, too, considering it's downtown near the boutique areas. I would definitely go back, and if you ask for Sarah, you won't regret it. read more

Last night was my second time visiting the Spa but for different purposes. A few months ago I booked massages for my husband and myself a few weeks apart. We both had Ashley, the owner, and she does an amazing job! She is very flexible, gives a great massage, and discounts for locals! Last night I went with a friend for a restore yoga session with Lauren. I'm a novice but I thought it was a great session. It was 75 minutes and she did a great job leading us through especially for those of us who arent familiar with the terminology. They have a different type of yoga every day. Free for locals the first time and just $7 drop in after that. There is also a 10/$50 package that can be purchased which never expires. read more

Salt Spa is my go-to for a massage in Charleston. I've had numerous couple and individual massages there, and they are always great. They have salt lamps all over the place, and the waiting room is SUPER relaxing (so much so it convinced me to buy my own salt lamp for home). They have a couple parking spots but other than that, parking is super limited (common problem for downtown businesses). There's a neighborhood nearby that you can park at, though, or you might get lucky and find street parking along the building. All the massage therapists that I've had are really great. They're very professional and don't seem to rush. Salt Spa offers a local discount, which is great, and you can book online, which is super convenient. They offer a ton of other services, but their massages are so good, I always go to them when I need/want one. I can't imagine going elsewhere for a massage in Charleston. read more

I had been planning a bachelorette party for a few months ~ for $150 you got two services....sauna and a massage. All of us girls were incredibly excited to go! On the day of, I was feeling incredibly unwell as I got drugged the night before, which the women at the spa knew as the rest of the bach party told them I was feeling not well. Upon arrival, I was placed into the hottest sauna there at the facility. After 2 minutes in the room, I felt incredibly ill. We were in a back room with no assistance and no direction to a bathroom and I got sick in the room. Minutes later another round of sickness comes around and there is still no one to show me to the restroom. Once I find it, I lay down for a few minutes only for all of the staff to come in and let me know that there is a yoga class coming in and the bathroom will be very busy. I muster up my strength and try to sit in the quiet room to wait for my friends and to see if I can get anyone to even rub my shoulders. I was told that none of the practitioners "would want to touch" me. I was then kicked out of that room and made to sit in the lobby for 40 minutes to an hour while my friends finished their two services. In that time, not a single yoga class or other party arrived. I felt incredibly hurt and disgusted that I was being treated in this way. To rub salt in the would, not only was I made to pay the $150 for the massage I never received and sauna that I only spent 2 minutes in, I was also asked to pay a $100 cleaning fee (even though I had only thrown up the water they forced me to drink [she literally told me to chug it] before going in the room). It is incredibly frustrating that they would treat me that horribly, make me pay for services I didn't receive, and then lie to me so I must leave the waiting area that the rest of my friends were in. read more

Salt Spa & Yoga - Relaxation area before massage - Massage Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

What an incredible experience all around. I made an appointment 2 weeks out for my boyfriend and I to have a massage. I booked a couples massage, but was called to see if we could split into singles for a partial refund. This was no issue at all, I would have done it without the refund, but it was a pleasant surprise. We arrived and were immediately greeted and checked in, given a glass of water and taken back to our respective rooms. The spa smelled lovely, and was quiet, calm, and serene- I was instantly relaxed. The massage beds were warm and cozy and the essential oils and salt lamps were perfect. I had Lizzie - she was WONDERFUL, 10/10, would recommend to a friend, and my boyfriend had a very nice brunette woman, he said she gave him the best massage he had ever had and would absolutely ask to have her again when we go back. We had booked Swedish massages with the intent to start working towards more regular massages, but I knew I had some trouble areas (neck, shoulders, upper back) and asked to focus there, my boyfriend went full-body. Of the many massages across the world I have had- this was by far the best. Lizzie got in there and worked out a lot of the issues that had been plaguing me for months- I was sore for days after, which in my experience, has always been a sign of a good therapeutic massage. I am not necessarily looking for a relaxing experience, so much as a healing experience - we workout a lot and use massage to help us reach goals there. I left feeling amazing- I definitely had a post-massage headache and was wiped out, and ended up napping for a few hours afterwards. Not only was the price great, the whole experience from start to finish was awesome. Definitely my go-to from here on out, I can't wait to make another appointment! read more
