It was my first time here! My sister booked me a massage for my birthday! Antonio was amazing! He walked me through everything as he went along, made sure I was comfortable with the pressure of the massage. Felt nice and relaxed after. Loved the ambiance! read more

I just finished my massage with Antonio and words can't describe my experience. He has a gift!!! So show yourself some self love and book with him immediately!!! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!!! read more

All of my past massage experiences have been "a treat" at high end places like the Grove Park Inn, but I recently realized regular massages are a crucial component of proper health care. So I needed to find a local place that I liked... Well I got REALLY lucky to find Stacey O. Studio!! Stacey could not have been better at understanding my needs & selecting the right treatments/therapists accordingly. In the last three weeks I've received not one, but TWO amazing treatments here - from McKenzie and Antonio. Both therapists are among the best I've ever experienced - and my bar was set quite high beforehand. Well, said bar has now been blown sky high and I can't wait for my next appointment (which is a treatment I've never experienced before - Cranial Sacral Therapy with Antonio). I am over the moon about regular massages from McKenzie and Antonio moving forward. They both definitely had a sixth sense for finding problem areas and demonstrated great talent in applying what is clearly an amazing skill set to my particular needs (as briefly stated by me and then observed immediately by each therapist when work began). The vibe of the studio immediately lets you know you are in the right place the moment you enter. The decor I'm absolutely genius (note the lights in the fireplace for example). They did such an amazing job preserving what is clearly a historic house and the amazing energy that is stored there, without losing the ambiance of a high end, top notch spa. Mad props to whoever did the interior design! I'd hire you for sure. read more

If I could explain my experience in one word it would be 'luxury'. When you get there you're greeted by their lovely staff and quickly are showed to your room. I had Bradleigh and she was amazing. I felt very comfortable with her and she was very knowledgeable. Everything she did was amazing and extremely relaxing. Her positivity was uplifting and you can tell she really loves her craft. On the way out she set me up with 5-6 sample products. This facial is well priced and I will definitely be returning read more

Total professionalism to be found here today, great relaxing massage for my birthday. Would definitely recommend coming here as often as possible for sore muscles or fatigue from the daily grind of life. read more

Stacey O. Studio - Massage Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

The best place in Columbia, SC for a facial. Bradleigh did a custom facial for me and I saw a difference almost immediately! My skin feels rejuvenated. She was very knowledgeable of products and what would work best for me. Thanks! read more

Stacey performed the PERFECT massage and facial. Absolutely exquisite I can't wait to go back!

I am so grateful that I got to experience the touch of Stacey today in the most dreamy facial I've ever had!!! Since Stacey is the owner of StaceyO StudiO, her time is dedicated to her long time existing clients, loads of administrative keep up and a full time mom to her sweet daughter Tess, a graduating senior. I forgot how lucky I was to have that opportunity as it's been at least a decade since I got to have a facial from her. During my treatment after the session, I told her my body felt like it had vibrations within. She has such a special touch and calming presence. I truly felt like I was floating with each manipulation as she applied silky smooth product after product to my face, neck, scalp, hands and feet!! My husband even asked me what was different about me this evening and said I looked more youthful. BONUS! Thank you for the heavenly experience Stacey, I feel so blessed. Xoxox read more

Located inside of Golds Gym on Forest Drive, Stacy O creates an oasis amidst the noisy environment that generates from the gym. True to the bio that you can read on her website, Stacey is a genuine, warm person. Her personality works well for someone that works iin the world of beauty. This was my first visit and she made me feel comfortable. I wanted a microdermabrasion ( i have acne prone/oily skin). After doing an assessment of my face she gave me her honest opinion. She explained what would work best to give me the results I wanted. She appeared to be very knowledgeable about her craft and that made me relax. The dermabrasion was painless. I did get an enzyme peel that smelled like candy and burned like fire but it cooled off in one minute and left my face feeling smooth. finally, she gave me a cooling mask and a foot and upper body massage. The massage was very soothing after those peels to the face. My face felt so smooth for days afterwards. I would definitely reccomend her. She also has info about certain products to use and avoid. read more

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 had a deep massage yesterday and my body still feels absolutely relaxed!!! Fellow customers I highly recommend that you book online and come in, it was 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 or have an off post pass go here! *happily sighs*. read more

See all

Excellent customer service! From the first time I called to book to when I arrived and to when I left I was so happy with their staff. Really really friendly people who want to ensure you get the most from your visit. I had an amazing massage from McKenzie. I called on a Thursday and they were able to get me in that Monday! Amazing local studio, highly recommend! Treat yourself! read more

Stacey O. Studio - Simple and very relaxing space - Massage Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Really nice studio! Owner and employees are super friendly and knowledgeably. I received a massage and a facial from Molli Collins. She really listens and was very helpful. Definitely will be going again! read more

This place is wonderfully relaxing. Located on Divine Street, I've passed by it multiple times a day but never knew it was there. And that's how it feels from the time you walk in until you walk out, like you've been to a little hideaway where you can unwind and relax. Molly was wonderful. I got a facial and massage combo and it was everything you would hope for. Way to go hubby for finding this place and giving me such a great birthday gift! read more

Went for a facial and had the best experience with Sarah! Very knowledgeable about the products, so sweet, and extremely professional. My skin has never felt or looked better. If you want to treat yourself, make an appointment with Sarah! You will not regret it! read more

I visited StaceyO Studio for the first time yesterday and am already hooked. The location is so convenient and is absolutely gorgeous! Such a lovely space and lovely, welcoming people. Stacey and Bridget are both amazing. They seriously know their stuff and were able to answer every question I had about my skin and how to care for it. I have some pigmentation issues from sun damage and opted for a Microderm PCA peel combo. My face feels great, and when I got home my husband commented that it was glowing. My skin tone is already more even, too. I can't wait to return and to try a massage next time! If your skin needs a pick-me-up, this is the place to go. read more

I suffered with acne for several years now and no dermatologist or product ever cleared my skin efffectively. I went to Stacey twice and within 2 months had clear skin! I would recommend Stacey to anyone!! read more

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. Stephanie's deep tissue massage is the real deal -- and one nice thing here is that deep tissue isn't 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. She's smart and practical, and she brings positive energy and love into everything she does -- bonus! I'll be back (and it won't be so long between visits next time!). read more

Stacey is BRILLIANT. Her kind, nurturing personality is just the beginning. In her treatments, both massage and facials, she knows what she is doing, and was able to focus on my specific needs. Thank you Stacey! I look and feel better than ever! read more

I visited Stacey O. Studio for the first time on my birthday after my husband surprised me with a facial and massage. Truly one of the best massage + facial experiences I have had. Stacey is so sweet and I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. It's clear that Stacey and team are going above and beyond during the pandemic to make sure her clients and team remain safe and healthy - I was totally at ease given the precautions in place. Thrilled to have discovered this neighborhood gem - thanks to my husband. I would highly recommend. read more

Stacey from StaceyO StudiO ROCKS my face off in the best way! Every time I get a facial or microdermabrasion from her I actually feel younger and cuter and I want to go dancing! I went to Esthetician school with Stacey and I trust her with my skin. She is a fantastic Esthetician; extremely knowledgable, professional and she uses only the best skin care products. Most importantly, when I am in an appointment with Stacey she takes her time to throughly evaluate my skin care needs. Not only does she work to address any problems but she does it in the most therapeutic and relaxing way. Stacey makes a luxury affordable. I know she takes great pride in her work and she values me as a client. My skin is much healthier and I am happier because she is my Esthetician. I'm so excited for my appointment on Wednesday! read more

First visit to Stacey O Studio this past week for a facial with Mollie. She was so kind, extremely knowledgeable and exceeded expectations for the very reasonably priced services. She tailored the treatment to my specific skin needs and made the experience completely renewing and relaxing, exactly what I was hoping for. I look forward to my next treatment! read more

I get my facials by Bridget and she is amazing. My acne is getting better! Definitely recommend this spa.

Stacey always goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are taken care of. I have had wonderful facials under her care and I usually go every couple weeks to get a massage if I can squeeze it into my schedule! Stacey is great at getting me an appointment- sometimes even same day! When it comes to her massage therapists- I could never pick a favorite. They are all delightfully amazing. read more

I really liked this place. Visited about a month ago. They fir me in a bit at the last minute and even moved my appointment up when they had an opening. The facial itself was good. The spa is clean, and Barbara (I think that was her name) was super friendly and loaded me up with samples on my way out. I'd definitely go back!! read more

Me and my fiance came to get massages here and they were AMAZING. Probably one of the best massages I've ever had honestly. The only thing I kind of questioned afterwards was not getting my full body rubbed, just my back... my fiance told me he got his full body rubbed. But overall still great. I had been overdue for a massage and overworked lately so I enjoyed being able to just completly relax and not have a chatty massage. (Hopefully that did not come out rude, not my intention) will definitely be back! read more

I developed plantar faciitis in my right foot last fall and have been enduring the pain and slow rehabilitation ever since. PF is difficult because the exact cause and effects can vary from person to person. So there is not a one-size-fits-all therapy. I read that massage is effective for some people. I talked about it with Stacey and eventually scheduled an appointment. I am a member of the Golds Gym where her studio is and already knew her to be an excellent spin instructor and all around good person. Other reviews describe the studio so I will skip that. Stacey is familiar with PF so the massage was very interactive as she wanted feedback from me about exactly where the pain was and how the treatment was feeling. She adjusted based on my feedback. I could tell I was with someone with extensive knowledge and experience. I went into it not sure what to expect and came out wishing I had done it weeks or months earlier. There is not a magic bullet treatment for PF but I definitely believe the effect of this massage was very positive in the long trajectory of the rehabilitation. I plan to schedule another one before long. Thank you StaceyO! read more

This is a cute little place. Stacey personally ensured my satisfaction, and McKenzie did a great job. Therapeutic and relaxing!

O.M.G...two days later and I am still speechless. This has been the best esthetic experience I have had in years. Well, I am an ex fashion model and over the past 25 years, I have had facials in 20 countries and countless cities, including Paris, London, Milan, Rome, Berlin, New york, Tokyo...you get the idea- I'm a Pampering Connoisseur. And Stacey O gets 5 stars from me! I rarely write reviews (unless I feel like its my duty to help others avoid something) and Stacey O has made such a positive impression on me that I felt compelled to shout it on the rooftops! I will tell you why I gave her 5 stars and then explain: Service- the best, Competence- the best, ambience- the best. Price- extremely fair and reasonable. My number one criteria is COMPETENCE and Stacey O has it to spare. I have difficult acne prone skin and many people do not know how to do proper extraction or just don't do extractions at all. Stacey took one look at my skin and knew just what to do. She did a VERY personalized facial on me that was a mix of different things listed on her site. She also had no problem explaining anything to me that I asked (respected me!) and gave me a chemical peel that I am (two days later) only just beginning to realize the incredible implications of. She knows all of the exotic European and Far eastern techniques- I know this because I have been to these places- not because a sign said so (like in other pretentious esthetic studios). I used to live in Miami and I had to fly to New York for facials with Ronald Sherman/Trish MacEvoy (not for ambiance, price or service- ONLY for Competence!) because I couldn't find anyone closer who was even vaguely acceptable or gave immediate AND long term results- so I never even dreamed to find Stacey O in Columbia, Sc. Stacey O cares enough to have developed her services to the highest degree and it is clear that she gives 200% on top of that. Now I'm hooked and cant wait to go back. She even did ear-candeling on me! I've been wanting to try that for years and I am sooooo happy with that experience. 41 years of wax build up was on display when she was done and I am happy to report that I am not going deaf as I previously feared. I feel more balanced too. SERVICE: what can I say, except it is all about you! Stacey is professional, courteous and yet real girlfriend-like at the same time! There is a real spiritual component to to the experience. She is a genuinely empathetic person and that has no price. You do not feel like a number here. She is very much in the present and responsive to your needs. She is gentle, yet extremely effective. AMBIENCE: From the minute you walk it the door, you completely forget that you are at Gold's Gym. The studio echoes her extreme positive attitude. It is dimly lit with soothing music. It is professional, clean, yet eclectic and intimate. Antique display cases and Bali-esk furniture cradle modern equipment. Its like the only place a girl can feel like she is being transformed by the Good fairy from a tired mum to the Belle of the Ball. PRICE: Let me be frank here. Who has extra money these days? Not me. I need to get my full money's worth. Stacey charges $75-$100 for a facial, $45 for Ear Candeling and it is more than worth it. I found myself happily paying her and that hasn't happened to me in the longest time. I'm gonna try her massages next time. Also, the other reviewer was right, she does not try to sell you stuff. I didn't know how important that point was until I had the experience. I was so grateful for the experience that I just had to have more, so I found myself asking her "What else you got?" Lol. She could be charging a whole lot more and I plan to go here a long time. I am hoping this great review will ingratiate me with her so she will always have a place for me in her schedule and the prices wont go up for me..LOL! hint hint if your reading this Stacey! LOL! Thanks again for everything. signed, Mary with the new baby skin read more

On April 25th I got a massage with Stephanie (Stacy's Assistant). It was probably one of the best massages I've ever had (from Florida to Illinois). Perfectly adjusted herself to get my preferred areas of concentration during my full body massage. Before started we even discussed a communication plan for if I'd like a pressure adjustment (harder or softer); a very effective strategy to success! On May 2nd I got a brazilian, brow, and lip wax. I've been getting waxed for 8 years now. Within those 8 years I've come across only 2 estheticians that have given me a fuzz-free brazilian (completely naked post-waxing) and NOT taken off too much hair from my eye brows. Now I can make that list total, 3. Stacy was friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process from scheduling to service. She even had me check multiple times, while she was present, to ensure she hadn't missed anything brazilian-wise. After all, it's always good to get a second opinion from a different angle, given lighting adjustments and such. I truly appreciated this process. My only disappointment is that I found her this late in the game. Having attended USC (I'm graduating in a few days, to clarify), I jumped from one place to another. Clearly, I was satisfied or I would have stuck with whom ever I thought did a good job. However, no one up until May 2nd made the cut. I summary, thank you Stacy for ending my experience on a good note and thanks for the lovely conversations (not just "how's the weather type conversations"). Best of luck! read more

Yesterday I treated myself to a facial and massage at staceyO studiO for my birthday. The people here are warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is lovely, homey, and laid back. Stacey and McKenzie have a high level of skill for pampering and professional knowledge of their services. I am rather new to the Columbia, SC area so I asked Yelp for help in selecting where to go. I prefer a comfortable, one on one, feel for a relaxing experience. StacyO and staff provided that and more. Thank you so much for helping make my birthday special StaceyO StudiO! I highly recommend!!!! read more

I have acne prone skin and have tried everything in the book (dermatologist, proactiv, OTC, etc) so I started going to Stacey to see if she could help and boy has she!! I've now done three facial treatments this year and my skin has improved so much!!! Just did my first microdermabrasion on my last visit and am loving the results from it. Not only do the visits with Stacey help my skin, but they're very relaxing too as she always adds a little extra hand/foot massage with some aromatherapy. And last, but not least, Stacey is such an awesome person!!! She's so nice and easy to talk to - just an all around great gal that i could go on and on about. Stacey has definitely gained a lifer client and I'd recommend her to anyone in the market for an esthetician or massage therapist!!! read more

I had a great facial from Stacey. She spent awhile getting to know my needs, evaluating my skin, and then doing a mix of approaches that left my skin looking and feeling great. I felt that she did a great job of educating me about the products she used. Such a sweet person and really great at what she does. read more

Stacey is a stand out in our community of health advocates. Her studio on Devine street is cozy and welcoming. She is easy to work with and her staff is a group of overqualified service professionals that love what they do! Don't hesitate to make an appointment. read more

Tucked away behind an unassuming door in the Starship Enterprise that is Gold's Gym out on Forest Drive, Stacey O. has a fantastic little aestetician's oasis that I highly recommend visiting. She is results driven, but doesn't feel a need to beat up your face to get you looking fabulous and I couldn't have been more impressed by my experience with her. She is incredibly warm and knowledgable, uses amazing products (but doesn't try to sell you on them), and gives great practical advice for keeping your skin looking as good as it will when you walk out of there after one of her facials. Go -- you won't regret it. read more

I started going to Stacey because she uses the same Epicuren products I fell in love with at the Grove Park Inn, but Stacey's facial far surpassed that of GPI. Though GPI is quite luxurious, they cater to travelers, and are trying to give you a great, one-time experience. Stacey, on the other hand, knows how to turn a first time customer into a devotee. She focuses on your skin and its needs, both through physical examination and questions about your skin history and desired results. In addition to working wonders with my skin, she also erased a week's worth of stress and anxiety in her session. I have another appointment booked this week and cannot wait! read more

Stacey has done facial treatments for me and they were fabulous. Yesterday I got a massage from her associate, Stephanie. Fabulous as well., read more

I drive from about 1.5 hours away for Stacey's facials. She is amazing, knowledgeable and very good at her job. She makes you feel comfortable and gives you the best experience she can. She even follows-up with you to see how the treatment worked. During the facials, Stacey always explains what product she is using and why she is using it- something I really like so I know what is being used on me. She also gives a complementary microderm- something I have never seen elsewhere. This is one of the best spas I have been to, and I will definitely continue going. read more

This was my first time ever getting a facial and Stacey made it such an amazing experience, I can't wait to go back. I was recommended to her by a co-worker and while I was a little gun shy due to the price (Granted, I've never done a facial before, so I don't know how much they were supposed to cost), I decided to do it anyways. I called and set up an appointment with Stacey herself. She was very accommodating to my schedule. After we went over my skin goals, Stacey briefed me on what was going to happen. I climbed onto the table (which was heated by the way :)), and got ready to go to work. She didn't just treat my face; she worked the top of my chest too. My mask started to irritate me a bit, and Stacey fanned me just to make sure I was comfortable. I was perfectly okay with fanning myself, but Stacey totally handled it. I really appreciated that as many people could have just wiped the mask off and told me to choose another one, but because that was the one I wanted, she went to extra lengths to make sure I was comfortable. I know it was such a small act, but that was one of the reason I will return. Stacey is very knowledgeable and does listen to you. She didn't try to push products, which to me is very important. Even if it is something that she recommends, she does tell you how much it cost up front and you can say no if it doesn't fit your budget. While one of the products she recommended didn't fit my budget, I was appreciative that she told me about it so that I can save up for it. Bottom line, go see her. I'm thinking about signing the hubs up for the gentleman's facial and continuing the micodermabrasion.Top notch lady! read more

Short Review: Go to Stacey. She has healed my severe acne and dark spots that no dermatologist or skin cleansing regimen has ever been able to clear. Whether your problem is acne, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, or you just want a friendly face to pamper your own face for the day: go to Stacey. I have never met someone more knowledgeable in skin treatments nor more concerned for her clients, and her kindness and expertise radiates at every appointment. This lady works miracles. Long Review: My skin has been my biggest insecurity for the last six years. I've been battling acne in various forms since I was fifteen. In my late teens I found some relief with birth control medications, and was thrilled to only have a major breakout (about 20 active spots) for a week each month instead of every day. Soon after turning 20, I lost weight, lost hair, lost my period, and experienced the worst acne I have ever seen. My forehead was covered in tiny colorless bumps, my upper lip had tens of whiteheads, and my chin, cheeks, and jawline grew horribly painful cystic acne. My skin had always been my main concern, and I tried everything to fix it. I spent hundreds of dollars on skincare products from dermatologist-prescribed Retin-A and Benzyl Peroxide to the Clarisonic brush, Perricone serums, over-the-counter products (Clean&Clear, Proactive, Neutrogena, etc.), a variety of "natural" remedies (including the Caveman Regimen, oil cleansing, B5 mega-dosing, and others), diets (801010, Raw Til 4, Banana Girl Diet, Paleo, Primal, Keto), and even acupuncture, chiropractors, and holistic medicine. The more I tried, the worse my skin and my overall health became. I lost my confidence, my friends, and became paranoid of anything but pure water ever touching my face. I never once saw facials as anything other than pampering activities. The idea of someone putting foreign chemicals on my face terrified me. And paying -- yet again -- for something that may either keep my skin the same or make it even worse kept me from calling any facialist for months. But I finally decided I had nothing left to lose, and in a last-ditch effort to save my face, I called Stacey. Stacey is the sweetest, loveliest individual I have ever allowed to touch my face since the Great Breakout of 2013. From our first meeting she actively listened to all of my concerns regarding my face and it's level of sensitivity before proposing her own plan to help. Even with my paranoia, there was something so reassuring about her that I let her put a PCA skin peel (yes -- ACID!!) on my precious face. In the next week, I had a breakout, which I know isn't uncommon for a new procedure, but nevertheless disheartened me. But I still went back the next month. And the next. And after the third visit? I HAD AN ENTIRE WEEK WITH NO ACTIVE SPOTS. I cried. I cried so much. If any of you have gone through this sort of disfiguration with something that makes you look unhealthy and garners unwelcome cleansing advice and "you should wash your face more often" ignorant remarks from complete strangers that assume your facial acne indicates a lack of personal hygiene, you will understand how it feels to be judged and degraded constantly for your skin. It was the first week of no lesions in over two years. And each week they become fewer and fewer. I went for my fifth appointment yesterday, and am BEYOND THRILLED to report only three whiteheads and no cysts for the ENTIRETY of last month. Furthermore, the dark spots that have plagued my complexion and given the illusion of even more acne than I ever had at once (which at times was over 40 active spots) are fading. My forehead is clear. My nose is clear. My cheeks are clear. My chin is clearing every day, and my confidence grows with each appointment. Stacey is truly amazing. I almost hesitate to post my review because I don't want to miss out on any precious appointment spots (!) but she truly deserves the biggest thank-you I can imagine, and anyone reading this deserves the chance to feel as comfortable and confident in their own skin as I am learning to feel once again. Stacey -- THANK YOU. You have been a huge step in helping me regain my self-image, my confidence, and my life. And I can never say thank you enough. read more
