WellSoul Spa + Salon — Local services in Irmo

This place is simply the best there is for your haircuts and massages. Period. Stop looking for other places to go if you want the best.

I never, EVER write reviews, but I felt obliged to because they're so nice and good at what they do.

Laura Gale has done my hair and my wife's hair for years and knocks it out of the park every time. My wife comes home looking like she's ready for a catwalk after a normal cut/style and she's also given her hair extensions before which looked incredible. She also makes my thinning hair look as good as I could ask for. I'll be using Laura Gale for the rest of my life if I can help it. She's incredibly friendly, always happy and smiling, and as talented as a stylist can be.

I just got my first massage from Sally Rhodes last week and it was indescribable how good it was. Gotta be honest, I looked at her arms and thought, "There's no way this petite lady can give me a good massage.", but she gave me the best, most relaxing massage of my life. Her voice is soothing, and I could feel the stress melt away when she was working. She's incredibly knowledgeable and it really shows. She told me I was putting pressure on the right side of my face when I slept. I didn’t believe her until she pressed down on the muscles and I could feel the strain and tension on the right side. She could be a therapist I think if she wanted to be, just such a pleasant person to talk to and get a massage from.

Love this place and all the girls in it. My wife and I will never go...

I am so, so happy this place exists! I have insanely fast growing and thick hair that is, apparently, somewhat intimidating to cut. I have had a horrible time finding someone I can trust to handle it. But Candace is the absolute best and I would recommend her to absolutely everyone on the planet because I always know what I’m getting. Plus she’s basically a hair wizard and I learn something from her about keeping my hair in line every time I see her. The rest of the Wellsoul staff is nice and courteous and I have never had any issues. The space is clean and airy and adorable and easy to find. I cannot recommend them enough! ------------------------------------2023 UPDATE!------------------------------------- I am still so happy this place exists! Candace the hair wizard has moved on (and it is always hard to adjust to a new hair person) but I am thrilled to have found Caroline and she is now my go-to girl for all things hair and I seriously cannot get over how good my color looks so I had to update my review. Once upon a time when I was young and actually went outside I had blonde hair and let me tell you my natural blonde didn't look anywhere near this amazing. The pictures don't do it justice. Seriously, you need a colorist? Go book some time...

Kimberly Mocks is absolutely amazing, and that’s the subtle version. Ive never had a thermal straightening / silk press before and hadn’t straightened my hair since 2 months after my big chop in 4/2017. I don’t trust people with my hair in general after a bad experience a little over 2 years ago; however, Kimberly soothed my nerves by making sure I was well informed and comfortable with every step of the process without even being told how nervous I was. I can happily say I’ve found my forever hairstylist.

The salon is absolutely gorgeous. It’s extremely clean, well organized, spacious, relaxing, and inviting all at the same time. There’s enough room between each station that I couldn't fully hear others convos and couldn’t get distracted from my own with Kimberly. It reminds me of a bridal salon, so it really felt like I was being pampered and really treating myself with this appt. I consider getting my hair done to be self care and this salon most certainly makes it...
