Mount Pleasant, SC Spa and Massage

It's hard to tell who's doing the mothering at The Mom Spa. Certainly the aestheticians play a motherly role, doting on clients during indulgent services such as the Cleopatra wrap, which bathes the body in a blend of milk, honey, and oats to soothe dry, sensitive skin. But that's not to say the clients lack maternal dispositions. The spa has three pregnancy treatments that use massage strokes and hot stones to address the pains that result from carrying and birthing a child, and its Ayurvedic fertility treatments are meant to help women conceive. However, plenty of the services appeal to everyone, from facials that fight the appearance of fine lines and even out skin tone to natural nailcare that beautifies fingers and toes without harsh chemicals or chatty cyborgs.

Within Salon Vantaggio’s sleek confines, replete with blond-colored floors, long mirrors, and vibrant art, Ashley Gardner clips and sculpts 'dos that suit each client’s features and personality. Specializing in color and highlights, she also excels in men’s and kids' cuts.

Owners Kelly and April of Salon 424 & Spa supply luxurious salon perks and targeted med-spa treatments within a cozy brick cottage. Stylists customize haircuts to flatter individual face shapes, and technicians provide spot microdermabrasion treatments to resurface visages without relocating any carefully applied beauty marks. Luxurious nail treatments employ OPI polish and aromatic tropical botanicals to soften and beautify skin.

The Great Escape Spa Therapy has tailored their menu of treatments to promote whole-body rejuvenation and relaxation. Therapists enhance their seven massage techniques with extras including aromatherapy or soaks in a scented bath, while aestheticians blend botanicals and exfoliating chemical peels in their hour-long facials.

A team of therapists at The Loft Spa at The Great Escape perform massage and bodywork in a contemporary, loft-like space, adorned with soft watercolors and polished wood floors. They customize each Swedish, deep-tissue, or hot-stone massage with essential oil aromatherapy in scents such as lavender, rosemary, or sweet orange. They also partner up to open pickle jars and perform side-by-side massages, employing Swedish kneading massage techniques that encourage friends or couples to sigh simultaneously.

Cloud 9 Spa Therapy promotes overall wellness with therapies that target skin-deep ailments as well as ingrained stress. The spa’s extensive list of services encompasses exfoliating body treatments, lash and brow tinting, and tension-relieving massages, such as Swedish or deep tissue—all of which are aided by hot stones and towels. They beautify faces with microcurrent technologies or custom facials that utilize Image skincare products; before you scheduling a facial, take advantage of a complimentary phone consultation that is as comforting as a parent who takes the time to attend all of your first dates. When they’re not pampering patrons, the staffers are leading spa education classes. There, they teach patrons how to make soap or body scrubs from salt, sugar, and ground-up Legos.
