I was staying near Savannah on vacation and found a Groupon for a spa day (50 min massage and 50 min facial) for a great price while my husband went golfing across the river. From the moment I inquired about an appointment, to making my actual appointment, and being welcomed on the day of, the manager and front desk trainee were so sweet and helpful.
The spa itself is modest but nice and well kept, on a Friday and with the way they staggered spa appointments, I pretty much felt as though I had the place to myself for 4 hours! It was awesome! My facial was first and I was blessed with Johnnie's magical hands cleansing my skin and relaxing me to the core. I like how she greeted me with an introduction, mini consultation and a breakdown of what she was planning on doing during my service. Honestly, I have never had such a wonderful and soothing facial in my life, and I am a seasoned spa-goer. She was a total professional with the most gentle & goosebump-inducing movements and yet deliberate cleansing techniques, even better than a $200+ facial I had at a local boujie spa in my hometown of San Diego not too long ago. Every single minute of Johnnie's facial was pure bliss, I was sad when it was over but incredibly relaxed and ready for my massage.
I might have just been so obsessed with Johnnie that I forgot my therapist's name, but she was wonderful as well and did a great job on my massage. I was able to upgrade my Groupon to a prenatal for the original price difference of $15. Perfect! She propped me up with pillows and gave me a good deal of pressure considering it was supposed to just be a relaxation massage, I am grateful for the deeper tissue massage I received in the areas that needed it.
I sipped hot tea, had an apple and read my book for an hour before one last quick steam with cool peppermint towels on my face and belly, then a long shower to wrap things up. I took my sweet time dressing and blowdrying my hair and was never rushed. Checkout was as pleasant as check-in, and I was more than happy to pay the mandatory 20% tip. These ladies worked hard to give me a wonderful experience. I left super relaxed and ready for the rest of my fun day around Savannah with my hubby. SO happy I found this spa, I will definitely come back when I visit again!! Thank you Magnolia Spa!!
