41 minutes ago New This review is rated so low to express my disappointment regarding a recent couples massage experience at this establishment. I want to preface this by saying that if a client is seeking a relaxation massage, this is not the place. During our session, the massage therapist frequently answered phone calls and engaged in full conversations with potential customers, even going to the front desk to assist walk-ins. This significantly disrupted the flow of the massage, and unfortunately, no additional time was compensated for these interruptions. They also switched massage therapist in mid session for the new tech to fill in but she had cold hands. While apologies were offered, the constant disruptions were unacceptable. Furthermore, the massage itself was uncomfortable. The strokes were fast and, at times, painful. My massage therapist primarily used her forearms and elbows, which I assume was due to her smaller hands, but this resulted in sharp, pointy elbows being administered causing discomfort. Overall, I would not recommend this establishment and will not be returning. read more

It was a gift as why we came to this spa. I'm a regular massage spa person, so this one started off confusing than others I've been too. I visited from out of state, so called in before coming to make sure no confusion happen. When we arrived the confusion started, but that was something small. Then the kicker is being charged before even doing the massage and asked for the tip. I've never been to a parlor asking for all this in the beginning. Then the massager was great. After the massage, another tip was asked about... which caused the confusion again because it was told my wife will be paying it all. They should welcome and make everyone super comfy. Then get the massage done. Then ask for the payment and tip because folks won't have to be thinking it's all about money. IF i visit South Carolina again... I might stop by again and we'll see how super it will be. I believe they can do great. Head Up! read more

Great place for an ultimate relaxation massage!!!! Was happy and relaxed afterwards. Very nice staff and was clean. Was a bit older building but comfortable too read more

Been there several times over the past 15 years, however, the last time was, without a doubt, the worst. My masseuse spoke no English so when I told her I wanted a 60-minute massage she didn't understand. I told her again and then she pointed to the sign on the wall to see what I wanted. During the massage I asked her not to do something and she did it anyhow even after talking to her through her translator app. 60 minutes ended with her spending 20 minutes massaging my shins and feet. I needed her work on my lower back and, as far as I know there are no muscles in my shins worth massaging and my feet were fine. What a waste of time and money. read more

Came here on a whim. So glad I did! Background: I'm not good at getting massages consistently. I'm a long distance runner and I put my body through a lot. Part of why I don't get massages is due to booking availability and how hard it can be to get what you want, when you want it. This place is awesome! Convenient location for me and I called an hour before my massage (late afternoon on a Sunday) to see if they would take me. They obliged. They accept walk ins and appointments and that's a win. My masseuse met me as soon as I walked in, asked how long I wanted, charged my card, and got to WORK! We didn't discuss any problem areas or the type of massage. It was one of those situations where I knew she knows much more than I do and she's going to figure out what I need. I was happy to provide feedback throughout if needed, but I didn't need to. I'm a deep tissue/sports massage enthusiast with a liking to firm pressure. My masseuse absolutely nailed it. BEST MASSAGE OF MY LIFE. Her approach was perfect. Pressure.. perfect. Focus areas.. perfect (my back feels incredible). Technique.. perfect. Everything was perfect and I was in awe for the entire session. If you want a convenient and high quality massage without having to worry about availability and high prices, come here. I've always dreamt of being a regular at getting massages and I finally will be. I plan on making this a monthly occurrence. read more

I tried them out. Nope. Thankful I had my SO with me because it was a pretty scary trip. I scheduled a foot massage for two and then they upsold us to full body massages. The tables were thin, the rooms were cold, there were no blankets, the tables were not warmed. The water was cold at the end. It was hard to understand the receptionist. The masseuse was really intense. I felt more beaten than relaxed upon leaving. I was really hoping for it to work out as I want to keep great companies in our area but it was not the right fit for me. I don't know if the other reviewers on this site just went to another place than I did but I did not have the same experience as everyone else. read more

Angela did my massage she was amazing they have patience and very friendly. I like deeep massage and she was professional and all the time clean. The place outside can make u think about it but when u get inside you said wow. Stop of going to expensive massage places when they don't do a good job and come here to enjoy your body feel relax and healthy read more

Standard massage parlor. Not a spa. Good if you get regular massages or want a deep massage for not-the-insane prices of the standard US spas. The decor is actually better than most that I've been to. My main issue was how cold i was. Please turn up the heat. read more

I've never had a bad massage here. At other places, you get charged more for the hour and they never give you the full 60 minutes, or they just give you a fluff massage, or they just skip over body parts completely. The only time they miss something here is when they zero in on a spot that needs extra attention. Yes, it is a Chinese style massage, so if you don't like a lot of pressure, be sure to let them know, otherwise you are going to get what you pay for and that is deep muscle work. Usually, you can walk right in and get worked on, but if you would like a certain person, it is better to call ahead. Also, most of the ladies do not speak very good English, so be patient, they will do their best to try to understand and help you. The rooms are simple, but nice and clean and for someone who lives in Eastover, the location is close and convenient. BTW, I have been here enough to know that if you are cold (like one reviewer posted below), all of the beds have heating pads that they will turn on, if you ask. read more

Went for a couples massage and was very happy with the service. The prices are very reasonable and staff is friendly.

Reasonable priced, professional, and courteous staff. They asked that I pay BEFORE services were rendered. The added bonus is that they are located so close to home. Convenient to Fort Jackson, and downtown Columbia as well. If you're in town for a Ft. Jax graduation, and need to unwind after a long trip, this spa is the perfect place to do so. I chose the 90 minute massage due to all of the kinks and knots after an extremely stressful work week.... I can honestly say I can feel the weight lifted off my shoulders. Before I came, I could only lift my arms about 60 degrees before they'd catch, pinch, and hurt. A can lift my arms straight into the air now. If you have a stressful job, and you internalize stress in, I'm sure you can relate. They can help! read more

So I was looking at the reviews and told myself let me see if things have changed. I noticed people spoke about them asking for tips before the massage, I noticed people speaking about how uncomfortable the massage tables were, how spooky the place looked so on and so forth lol. Here's my experience. Tip: I chose to tip my therapist before she actually did my massage as a matter of fact I over tipped her which is something I'm going to start doing from now on. At least with this experience it yielded one of the greatest massages I've had in the past couple of days. Because I actually get massages on the regular usually around my area, but this place was a 30 minute drive. Comfort: I wasn't weirded out by the dark hallway with a neon lights didn't seem spooky to me and I've laid on more comfortable tables but this table wasn't half bad probably 3 out of five. Therapist: I usually make small talk with my therapist and try to engage them, I know their English isn't that great but some you can get a feel for their mood if they even try to talk to you. This one didn't but it was still okay because she did her job. I love when my lower back is worked on and she put a lot of attention on my lower back without me even mentioning it and it was awesome. Massage: like I stated previously this was one of the better massages this week I try to go every two weeks because of the type of work I do, she was an elderly lady and usually they work better than the younger ones I find. In the beginning she asked if I wanted soft medium or hard I always say hard. I have a pretty good threshold for pain and I noticed some reviews where people spoke of it being too rough. So I want to add that you can always start off medium, and if you want to have them go harder you can communicate with them there's no point of suffering and silence, besides you're paying for it. Don't be afraid to speak up because they'll do exactly what you tell them to, I know from dating a massage therapist that if you don't say anything they'll continue to massage with the level of strength that they are massaging. From top to bottom I was completely satisfied plus the place was very clean. read more

Not good, besides then seeing me right away. I told them what hurt they completely disregarded that part of my back. Next the lady was super aggressive and not in a good way. It seemed they had zero training at all. Then at the end of this awful massage she forced a tip from me. Never going back there again read more

So glad to have a massage place on this side of town. I was so tense that I could not turn my neck and no way I could drive into town. Fortunately I got a recommendation to Rose Spa. I needed a deep tissue massage. That's what I asked for and that's what I got. I appreciate paying for a focused massage and don't want to waste money on frou frou decorations that don't help my back feel better. These are nice people who give you what you need - a good massage for a fair price. read more

This place is awesome! I go almost every month. The atmosphere is very relaxing. You pay for services upfront, which is no different than the massage places in Lexington. Before, customers would complain and run out without paying. Can't run a business when customers refuse to pay, so they charge upfront. You can wait and tip at the end of your session. Just talk to them about it. I've never had a problem with them seeing me or taking care of my back issues. I don't know anything about being a "whorehouse" like one reviewer commented. Great place! Great service! Never a problem. read more

Pretty good massage , missed some spots like chest. Don't know if I will be back again . Expensive for what it is

Pros: convenient location on this side of town, staff (well I only saw one person) was pretty friendly, nice. Massage was good, I will recommend and will be going back. Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is well decorated and definitely looks like you're entering somewhere totally different, the vibe was definitely of a massage spa. Cons: the room wasn't what I was use to, it was kind of cold, and considering they just opened it seemed like by asking for money up front was more important than building clientele, also requiring tip upfront, how was I suppose to know the worthiness of the service I need received before? So I tipped lightly, but had it been asked after the massage was over I most definitely would have tipped more because it was well worth it.. read more

If I would have done this yesterday before this massage I would have done 4 stars. The therapist rushed the massage and made it evident. I was very disappointed. To top it off she asked for a higher tip. This was my 7th time visiting here and my last. The massage was awful and I mean awful. I should have flushed my money in the toilet. read more

Rose Spa is an awesome experience. Although I normally see yo yo, I recommend any one of their therapists. It's clean and the staff is very nice. read more
