Luxury, in the heart of Lincoln: O and Company Spa and Salon
By Jennifer Benton
Staff Writer
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.
