A luxury spa franchise has opened in West Ashley under local ownership.

Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa’s newest South Carolina location is at 1133 Savannah Highway, Suite 510. Owned by local entrepreneurs Chad Foster and Mark Reisinger, the West Ashley location marks the brand’s 10th spa in South Carolina, and the business duo’s fifth unit together, according to a news release.

“We look forward to welcoming our new members with this special discount so they can experience some of our most popular services right at the start of joining,” Foster said in the release. “Self-care continues to become more important with the increasing stresses of daily life, and we are excited to provide a sanctuary where the Greater Charleston community can unwind, rejuvenate and prioritize their well-being.”

Foster and Reisinger are multi-unit franchisees with Hand & Stone, having opened their first spa more than 16 years ago in Charlotte, according to the release. Since then, the partners have expanded their reach within the Carolinas to bring the brand’s wellness services to even more communities, including Mount Pleasant and Summerville.

“It’s incredible to grow our portfolio with a brand that shows the same deep care for its owners and operators as it does for its guests,” Reisinger said in the release. “The continued support we receive, coupled with Hand & Stone’s unmatched ability to continue to innovate its offerings and resources, allow us to remain competitive in the market and provide the best massage and facial services in the state.”

The newest Hand & Stone in West Ashley brings high-quality professional massage services, including Swedish, Himalayan salt, sports, deep tissue, oncology and prenatal massages to the Greater Charleston community, the release stated. Guests can also visit the new spa to enjoy Hand & Stone’s signature hot stone massage and facial and hair removal treatments tailored to each individual’s needs or skin concerns, with a wide-range of services available for women, men and teens.

Like all Hand & Stone spas nationwide, the new West Ashley location offers advanced skincare and spa services that incorporate new technologies at the forefront of the wellness market to enhance each guest’s overall experience, the release stated.
