FAQ & policies.

Everything you need before, during, and after your visit. Still curious? Call or text (912) 446-1522.

General

How many locations do you have?

One! While we used to operate two separate spas, we’ve combined both locations under one beautiful roof. You can now find all of our services–skin, massage, and more–at 2222 Bull Street.

Where are you located?

The spa nestled in the heart of Savannah’s Starland District at 2222 Bull Street, on the second floor above Ukiyo restaurant. We’re right next to Melrose & McQueen Hair Salon.

What are your hours of operations?

Monday–Tuesday: Closed

Wednesday–Friday: 10:30 AM – 7:00 PM

Saturday: 10:30 AM – 5:30 PM

Sunday: 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Where do I park?

Free street parking is available along Bull and neighboring side streets. It can take a few minutes to find a spot, so we recommend arriving a little early to give yourself time to park and settle in.

Do I need to come early for my appointment?

Yes, please! Arriving 5–10 minutes early gives you time to navigate parking, use the restroom, enjoy a beverage, and ease into your experience. Intake forms are sent ahead of time, but if you haven’t completed yours beforehand, we kindly ask you to arrive early to do so.

Is your business handicap accessible?

Not at this time. We are located on the second floor of a historic building without an elevator or lift. We understand this is limiting and are actively exploring solutions to make our space more accessible in the future.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Whatever you’re comfortable in–come as you are! For facials and head spa services, you’ll change into a spa wrap. For massage, you’ll undress to your comfort level and be fully draped during the session.

How much do your services cost?

You’ll find current pricing and service details on our treatments page. Because each session is tailored to you, prices can vary by provider level.

Do I need to make an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?

We primarily book by appointment, but same-day sessions may be available! Call or text us to check real-time availability.

What is your tipping policy?

Tipping is always appreciated. A standard gratuity is 20%, in line with other personal service industries.

What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?

CANCELLATION POLICY

TEMPLE requires 48 hours notice for all cancellations and reschedules. Here’s how it breaks down:

Changes made within 48 hours will incur a 50% charge of the services booked. Changes made within 24 hours will incur a 100% charge of services booked.

Same-day cancellations or no-shows will be charged 100% of the service.

All appointments require a card on file and applicable fees will be charged accordingly. Gift Cards cannot be used towards the cancellation fee.

This policy applies to appointments scheduled within a 48-hour window, as well!

If you need to cancel and we’re closed, just leave us a voicemail–we’ll honor the timestamp of your message.

Running late?

If you arrive late, your session may be shortened or rescheduled. In either case, you’ll still be responsible for the full service fee.

Refunds and Packages

All sales are final. We do not offer any money back-guarantees. If you’re booking a package, we recommend securing your preferred date and time before purchasing, as packages are also non-refundable.

What are your Gift Card Policies?

Gift Card Policies:

Gift Cards cannot be used towards a cancellation fee.

Our Gift Cards expire and are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Massage

Do you offer couples massages?

We have two massage rooms, so we don’t offer traditional side-by-side couples massages. But we love welcoming friends and partners to enjoy self-care at the same time! You’ll be in separate treatment rooms just across the hall.

How much pressure should I expect?

Totally up to you. Whether you prefer light and relaxing or deep and therapeutic, your massage is fully customized. Let your therapist know how you’re feeling—we adjust in real time.

How will I feel after my massage?

Relaxed, rejuvenated, and possibly a little sore for 24-48 hours—especially if you’ve received deeper work. That’s totally normal and a sign your body is responding to the treatment.

What should I do after my session?

Drink plenty of water, take it easy, and give your body time to integrate the work. Avoid intense workouts or heavy lifting the rest of the day if possible.

How often should I get massages?

It depends on your goals. Monthly is great for general wellness. Weekly or bi-weekly may be recommended if you're working through pain, stress, or specific issues.

Skin care

Should I schedule a Skin Consultation first?

A consultation is highly recommended if you:

Have persistent breakouts or corrective skin goals

Are interested in advanced treatments

Want a customized skincare plan or long-term strategy

Simply have questions before diving in

We’ll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment roadmap—so you get the most out of every visit from the start.

Why a consultation helps : We assess your skin’s current state, match you with the right esthetician level, and design a thoughtful, strategic plan tailored to your unique goals. It also allows us to prep your skin properly for more intensive treatments down the road and ensure you're receiving the most effective care from the very beginning—no guesswork, no wasted time.

What to expect: Your consultation includes a deep cleanse and skin analysis, followed by a collaborative conversation around your concerns, goals, and routines. From there, we build a customized treatment roadmap to support both short-term wins and long-term transformation.

Looking for a more general refresh or relaxation facial?

You’re welcome to book directly with any of our skilled estheticians. Every treatment is customized in real time, so even if you're not quite sure what your skin needs, we’ll guide you through it during your appointment.

What facial do I choose?

Whether you're beginning your skincare journey or continuing deeper corrective work, our customized facials are designed to meet you exactly where you are. Each session is tailored in real time—from restorative relaxation to results-driven transformation. Your esthetician will guide your experience based on your goals, skin condition, and stage of care. Think of it as a ritual that evolves with you. All facial treatments take place in our open-concept Loft—a shared serene space designed to feel grounding, peaceful, and deeply personal.

*Note: Treatment approach will vary on provider level and appointment length. All facials include consultation, thorough cleansing, exfoliation, treatment masks, targeted enhancements, and expert homecare guidance.

What's the difference between your esthetician levels?

Our estheticians are categorized by experience, training, and certification levels into five tiers of care to meet your unique skin goals:

Level 1 Estheticians: Foundational Care and Relaxation

Perfect for newcomers and routine skin maintenance. Level 1 estheticians specialize in nurturing, ritual-based treatments, performing essential facials, dermaplaning, basic extractions, and introductory peels. Expect a soothing, high-quality reset designed to keep your skin healthy and balanced.

Level 2 Estheticians: Polished and Customized Maintenance

Designed for clients seeking a seamless, elevated experience with light corrective touches. Level 2 estheticians offer confident customization using superficial peels, specialized treatments (like HydraFacial basics), and introductory corrective strategies. Great for maintaining progress and refining texture.

Level 3 Estheticians: Corrective Maintenance

Acting as the bridge between routine care and intensive transformation, Level 3 estheticians target specific concerns with advanced modalities. These sessions feature medium-depth chemical peels, basic microchanneling, and HydraFacials to build strategic, long-term care plans for results-driven clients.

Level 4 Estheticians: Advanced Corrective Specialists

Focused on driving profound transformations for complex skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging. Level 4 estheticians design comprehensive 9-to-15-month treatment journeys, utilizing advanced chemical peels, specialized acne therapies, and high-performance treatment layering.

Level 5 Estheticians: Clinical Leadership and Master Correction

The highest tier of care, led by TEMPLE’s clinical masters. Level 5 estheticians specialize in high-stakes cases, complex consultations, and ultimate skin restoration using master-level protocols and custom treatment plans. Perfect for complex skin concerns, long-term correction, and next-level clinical results.

How can I schedule with your Lead Esthetician Kelly Temple for corrective treatments?

Kelly Temple's online booking is currently closed to new clients due to high demand. As our Level 3 Lead Esthetician specializing in corrective skincare, Kelly prefers to meet with new clients through a consultation first.

Why Kelly requires consultations for new clients: Kelly works with advanced corrective techniques and complex skin conditions. A consultation allows her to assess your skin thoroughly, discuss goals and expectations, and build a precise, personalized treatment plan to ensure you're set up for the best possible results.

New clients: Please schedule a consultation first (includes $50 credit toward your next service with Kelly).

Returning clients: Please call (912) 446-1522 or text (912) 559-1616 to schedule directly.

How soon can I get a facial after getting Botox?

You MUST wait AT LEAST 2 WEEKS after your botox or filler appointment to get a facial. This ensures the injectable has settled properly and avoids disrupting the results. However, you CAN receive Botox or filler any time AFTER your facial with no issue. Need to reschedule your facial? Just let us know at least 48 hours in advance to avoid cancellation fees.

What should I avoid 24-48 hours before my facial appointment?

To ensure your skin is calm, receptive, and ready to receive treatment, we recommend avoiding:

Excessive sun exposure or tanning

Waxing or threading in the treatment area

New or untested skincare products or treatments

Heavy alcohol consumption (can increase skin sensitivity)

Intense workouts immediately before your session

Botox or filler (wait 2 weeks before your facial)

Can I wear makeup immediately after?

We recommend skipping makeup for at least 4-6 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to breathe and soak in all the good stuff. If makeup is necessary, opt for clean brushes and gentle, non-comedogenic products.

For peels or more intensive facials, wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup.

When can I exercise/sweat after my facial?

Please avoid sweating and intense physical activity for 4-6 hours following your facial to prevent irritation and allow products to fully absorb.

For chemical peels or advanced treatments, wait at least 24 hours before resuming workouts. When you do exercise, cleanse your skin gently afterward and avoid touching your face during activity.

Head spa

What is a Head Spa?

A Head Spa is a deeply restorative wellness ritual that blends therapeutic scalp care with full-body relaxation. Transcending traditional hair care, this experience invites you to recline on a specialized treatment bed with your head cradled above a cascading basin. Our unique setup creates a seamless, rhythmic journey of flowing water therapy, tension-melting massage, and intentional scalp care. We nurture the hair, the body and the spirit—releasing mental fatigue and resetting the nervous system in a single, meditative journey.

What's Included In My Experience?

Tailored to your needs, your treatment may include:

Customized hair masques and restorative treatments

Deep scalp detoxification and clarifying care

Cascading water therapy and rhythmic cleansing

Therapeutic massage for the scalp, neck, and shoulders

Pressure point therapy for tension and migraine relief

Intentional tool usage for circulation and stimulation

Refreshing mini facials and skin-soothing care

Targeted massage nurturing upper body or CBD-infused foot therapy

Full body dry brushing to awaken the senses

Professional blowouts for a polished finish

What makes the temple experience so unique?

At its heart, our Head Spa is a rhythmic, meditative escape. While many treatments rely heavily on tools, we prioritize human connection and intentional movement to provide a service tailored specifically to your scalp and hair needs. It is a unique sensory experience—combining flowing water and therapeutic touch—that leaves your nervous system reset and your spirit completely at ease

What should i expect from arrival to aftercare?

To get the most from your experience, please arrive with unwashed hair and a makeup-free face. Seeing your hair in its natural state allows your provider to better analyze your scalp and offer tailored advice. You are welcome to 'come as you are'; we provide cozy spa robes and a heated treatment bed for your comfort. For head spa services, we only require access to the upper chest, neck, and shoulders, while body rituals involve full-body draping similar to a traditional massage.

Following your ritual, your skin will be glowing with nourishing cleansing oils that can be left on as a moisturizer or layered under makeup. Your hair will be finished with a light, balancing leave-in conditioner and air-dry cream. We recommend waiting 48 hours before your next wash to allow the restorative benefits to fully settle.

Are all hair types and textures welcome?

Absolutely. We believe every scalp and hair texture deserves the gift of restoration. Our sanctuary is open to every texture—from fine and straight to thick and coily—as well as those with little to no hair seeking a total nervous system reset.

Do you take clients with extensions?

Our Head Spa is able to take clients with a single row of sew in hair extensions. Clients with multiple rows of extensions are taken on a case by case basis and can incur an extra fee of $15 for time. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide Head Spa treatments for clients with tape in extensions or extensions longer than 22 inches. Please call ahead if you have extensions to consult on the best course of action!

How do you tailor the styling for my specific hair type and texture?

Whether your hair is long or short, a professional finish is the perfect conclusion to your journey. We offer signature round-brush blowouts for length, and tailored Denman or finger-styling to bring volume and body to shorter styles. By using lightweight, balancing products, your style typically retains its lift and smoothness for up to three days. For those seeking even greater longevity and bounce, we invite you to choose a pin-curl set to prolong your results. To honor our rhythmic timing, please note that while all textures receive expert care, tightly coiled hair is artfully diffused to enhance its natural beauty rather than blown smooth.

How is my scalp analyzed and how are specific conditions addressed?

Your experience begins with a microscopic analysis. Using magnified imagery, we’ll examine your scalp and hair health to discuss your current routine and long-term goals. This conversation allows us to create a practical roadmap for home care and professional treatments every 6 to 8 weeks. To conclude, we take a second set of magnified pictures to show the immediate, visible difference one session can make.

While we are a wellness space rather than a clinic, we provide effective support for severe dandruff, dryness, and psoriasis. Our process combines specialized exfoliation and hydration methods with R+Co’s CBD-infused products to soothe inflammation and relieve itching. It is a targeted, intentional approach designed to restore your scalp to a balanced and healthy state.

Which products are used for head spa treatments?

We proudly feature R+Co to customize your experience, selecting specific formulas to honor your scalp and hair needs. Should you have sensitivities or allergies, we invite you to consult with us prior to your visit so we can explore the best options for you.

We understand that some guests prefer the familiarity of their own care; you are welcome to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. Please be mindful that while we can incorporate your personal products into the ritual, our specialized detoxification treatment remains the core of our technical service. If you have any questions regarding our ingredients, your therapist is always available to ensure your comfort and peace of mind.

How often should i return for treatment?

To maintain optimal scalp health and deep hydration, we recommend a monthly visit—especially for those seeking to manage psoriasis, dermatitis, or a deeper detoxification than home rituals allow. For general maintenance and a recurring scalp analysis, a session every eight weeks is ideal. However, your journey can also be intuitive; our pressure-point therapies are specifically designed to provide relief for active migraines and may be booked on an as-needed basis to quiet the nervous system.
