Luxury, in the heart of Lincoln: O and Company Spa and Salon

On Sunday, May 3, my husband and I had the great pleasure of meeting Opal Mathis, owner and stylist of O and Company Spa and Salon, formerly known to Lincoln as the Wellness Day Spa (photo below, right). Being a salon owner myself, I was really looking forward to experiencing services from a client’s perspective. 
We learned upon arrival that Opal and husband Mike, the new owners, had just taken over on Thursday, April 30, and have many changes planned for the future. This was not evident by looking around. I would never have guessed that the salon was in a state of transition, everything seemed in its place and beautifully decorated. I was informed that the spa offers services 7 days a week, working around the needs of clients.
Nestled in the growing town of Lincoln, the quaint little spa was clean, well lit and filled with the smell of fresh flowers when we walked in. We were immediately greeted by Opal, the owner, and Brittany Lawrence and Miriah Tomlinson, our massage therapists. After our introductions, we were offered tea, coffee, or water and a display of fresh fruit, crackers and spreadable cheese, which were available to us throughout our spa day. We relaxed in the front room with our water flavored with a hint of cucumber and lemon and soaked our feet in a foot bath brought to us by our massage therapists.
This was a first for me. The stone basins had river rocks in the bottom and water infused with jasmine and rose. Rose petals floated in the water and I began to relax. What a wonderful way to fill out client information forms! When we finished our forms, Brittany and Miriah toweled off our feet and led us to our rooms for the hour massage treatments. The 
massages began with warm bags filled with cherry seeds placed on our backs to warm up our muscles and help us relax while our legs and feet were massaged. The rooms were filled with pleasant scents, and relaxing music that truly set the tone. Although we did not use it, there is also an infrared sauna treatment that can be added for more intense work. Both Brittany and Miriah worked out our knots and stress expertly. Applying hot massage oil helped our muscles soften as the well-trained hands soothed and searched for trouble spots. You can choose to have your massages together, or separately, as we did, when you go with your spouse.
After the massages, our drinks were replenished and I was off to my facial. Kelly Priley, my esthetician, gave me one of the best facials of my life. With a honey mask to draw out impurities and hydrate, my skin was left feeling radiant. The neck and shoulder massage was amazing; Kelly’s strong, deli-berate hands released my tension immediately. She was very professional and kept me in a relaxed state during the entire treatment. Kelly informed me that the spa would begin using the Cosmedix line of skin care products as one of the upcoming changes. The room was quiet and dark, creating a serene atmosphere.
At the same time, my husband was seated with Katia Mihalas, 
Natural Nail technician. Using a pretty brass tub filled with citrus-enhanced water heated by stones, Katia put my husband at ease about having his pedicure. She used products made by The Green Goat, a natural skin care company which uses goats milk in their products. My husband said that his pedicure was very relaxing and he was amazed at how good his feet felt afterward. As my facial and his pedicure finished, we switched and I was able to experience Katia’s work for my-self.
I have had many pedicures in my life, and I can easily say that this was one of the finest I’ve ever experienced. The products smelled amazing and worked very well to exfoliate and restore softness to my feet. The pedicure continued with a hot paraffin dip which did wonders to moisturize. My hour-long pedicure came to a close with a fabulous coat of polish, allowing me to show off my toes.
