I've never walked out of an esthetician's office thinking, "Wow, what a great result." I understand…read morethat achieving results can take time, but this was the first time in my life that I saw a visible improvement in my skin after just a simple pore-cleansing session. Super impressed. Lydia also takes her time to get to know your routine, point out mistakes you might be making at home, and recommend quick fixes. She's not pushy and truly comes from a place of wanting to help you achieve the best results possible. 10 stars -- I would definitely recommend her services. Can't wait to come back. As much as I would not want to add another spending item this is smth that will be totally worth every dollar.

From the moment I walked into AvantGard Spa until the moment I left, the experience was…read moreexceptional. The customer service was warm, welcoming, and professional from start to finish. The spa itself is beautiful. It smells absolutely amazing, is impeccably clean, and has such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Everything feels modern, spotless, and exceptionally well maintained. Even the massage table was incredibly comfortable, with soft, smooth, pristine linens that made the experience feel even more luxurious. The only thing I wish the spa offered was a shower, but honestly, that was the only thing I felt was missing. I booked the AvantGard Five Star package, and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. This 80-minute experience includes customized aromatherapy oils, a full-body massage, a therapeutic dry brush treatment, a detoxifying Moroccan Rhassoul mud back treatment, and warm Himalayan stones. Every part of the experience flowed beautifully, leaving me feeling completely relaxed, refreshed, and recharged. If you're considering this package, don't hesitate--it's one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. As for my massage therapist, Pacha, he is truly one of the best massage therapists I've had in a long time. In fact, I told him he officially ranks in my top three massages I've ever received. He is incredibly skilled, professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about his work. He guided me through my breathing when needed, paid close attention to what my body needed, and never made the session feel rushed. I also appreciated that he took the time to educate me about my muscle tension and recommended future treatments based on my body's needs rather than trying to upsell services. His knowledge, technique, and calming presence made the experience even more memorable. This was one of those rare experiences where you walk out feeling lighter, calmer, and completely renewed. I left so relaxed I could barely put a sentence together afterward! If you're looking for a luxurious, impeccably clean spa with outstanding customer service and an exceptional massage therapist, I cannot recommend AvantGard Spa and especially Pacha highly enough. I will absolutely be returning.

I asked for a recommendation for a good masseuse and Pacha was suggested. I'm over 60 with…read morearthritis, a frozen shoulder and mobility issues. He is very intuitive and focuses on the areas that you need relief the most. Breath work is also involved in the work he does in order for you to relax and allow for a deeper level of massage. Pacha always makes me feel comfortable and checks in to make sure that I'm okay. I've gone days without pain after seeing Pacha. If you're looking for pain relief, more mobility and achieving a sense of peace and calm , I highly recommend Pacha. The spa is beautifully designed and the rooms are comfortable. The price is comparable and even less than most spas. There is no shower, sauna or jacuzzi at this facility. Only calm, relief and peace.

She is so sweet, knowledgable, and gives great recommendations/tips on how to keep your skin beautiful. During my first appointment, she thoroughly assessed my skin and I trusted her to curate a set of treatments specific to my concerns. I take care of my skin consistently but have issues with sensitivity, dehydration/dryness, and texture. Bushra did a combination of microdermabrasion treatments, extractions, along with hydration masks. My blackheads were bad... and are always bad lol but she took care not to extract for too long so that it doesn't irritate or cause damage to my skin. (I've had other blackhead extractions in the past that literally make me cryyyy but she is so gentle!) Throughout the facial, she's giving facial massages and also gives a neck/shoulder lymphatic. I'm not sure if I'm just overthinking, but my face does seem slimmer and less puffy afterwards. My skin when I left was bright, glowing, and soft! I was so impressed, I ended up buying a package for 3 facials. My second facial was no different! I've had other facials elsewhere where I leave hydrated, but the clearness/redness is unchanged. But here, I feel a new person. I highly recommend Bushra! She's available via email or text for an appointment.

I was lucky to receive a facial with Jen through a Mother's Day giveaway in the SC Moms group, and…read morehonestly, she turned the entire experience into such a lovely little celebration. From the very beginning, everything felt easy and welcoming. Jen quickly offered several appointment options, and I was able to come in the same week. Her studio is incredibly cozy and calming, with a soft, peaceful atmosphere that immediately helps you relax. But the best part is Jen herself. She is warm, professional, and wonderfully attentive. Her hands are incredibly strong and confident, and the treatment felt so much more than just a facial, the massage of the shoulders, décolleté, neck, and face was absolutely amazing. I especially appreciated that she explained what she was doing throughout the process, because I really like understanding the "why" behind treatments and skincare steps. She also gave me a few thoughtful, realistic tips for home care without ever making it feel pushy. Jen is simply a very tactful, kind, and genuinely caring person, and you can feel that she truly loves what she does.

That is to…read moresay -- I'm very careful about whom I trust my brows with because the repercussions increasingly last longer. However, Mona has absolutely earned that trust with the amazing job she did with them! I found Mona through Yelp, and the reviews are spot-on. She's such a kind, warm spirit with a very loyal client base, and for good reason. You can schedule with her via text, and she is quite flexible to accommodate you as best as she can. She's so detailed and gentle; the entire process was painless and I feel like she took her time to give me the best results. While I gave her free control, she kept my length (which is always my preference) and gave me the arch of my dreams (not too arched but not too subtle either). Mona basically said, "2016 brows are back!!" and I'm obsessed. She framed my face perfectly.
