About Temple Day Spa
When I opened up a small studio in 2017, my goal was to help people feel their best.
I had no idea how significant that passion would later become. A few years later, I was fortunate enough to expand into the beautiful space I have today in downtown Savannah, Georgia: Temple Day Spa.
Since the beginning, our skincare treatments have always been customized, meaning we truly decide what we’re going to do, step-by-step, for each client on a highly individualized level. This approach applies to every service we offer: lash enhancements, massage, waxing, and skincare treatments alike.
In addition to a highly customized client experience, we believe that giving you the proper tools and education is a key element in your spa visit. We want you to feel empowered and involved in your self-care process. And, above all, we want you to enjoy the time you spend with us.
Temple is more than a last name; it’s also a sacred, safe space for the practice of self-worship. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your intentional self-care. We hope you feel included, authentically yourself, nurtured, seen, beautiful, relaxed and everything in-between.
Welcome to the Temple Family – we’re so happy you’re here.
XOXO, Kelly Temple, owner
