Spa MD is hands down one of the best self-care experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment you walk in, the space is serene, beautifully designed, and instantly calming. The staff is warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about everything from skincare to body treatments. I had a facial and massage during my visit--both were outstanding. My skin has never looked better, and the massage was exactly what I needed to unwind. It's clear they take pride in what they do and tailor every service to your needs. If you're looking for a place that delivers both results and relaxation, Spa MD is it. read more

I love this team. Marci has brought together really smart, passionate, kind and friendly staff to help us all look and feel our best. I've tried a lot of services here but I keep returning for their sunless tanning service. They do a great job! I love how fast and high quality the service is. I'll keep going as long as they have me! read more

I wanted to respond to the owner's response on Yelp but was unable to, so I am posting an update to my review. The owner did send a text message to my personal phone on April 21st. I'm assuming they pulled my number from their internal database. I did respond to the message, but not until April 24th, and then never heard back. I thanked them for reaching out, but after reading their Yelp response, I was a little taken aback by the tone. It seems as if they are apologetic but are trying to justify the situation instead of just saying sorry. The response I received via text and their response on my review seem to have two totally different tones. Honestly, I'm just confused. The purpose of my original review was because I paid for a relaxing facial and felt disrespected after my appointment. The tone of the Yelp response is in the same tone as my experience that day. Again, Paula does an excellent job, and this review does not reflect on her at all. read more

I had my second Cool Restore procedure today with Marci. We are working on tightening my abdominal muscles as I had abdominal surgery in April and have 3 large scars. The Cool Restore has significantly reduced the scar tissue and smoothed out the skin, but the best part is , after the procedure I put my shorts back on and they fell off my body!! I lost inches in only 45 minutes! I definitely recommend Spa 131 and the Cool Restore to tighten muscles-- it honestly works!!! read more

I am not a person who regularly gets massages or facials - but I was immediately welcomed and felt right at ease. Marci was so kind and welcoming. Marcy also greeted me, and her massage eased all the pain from years of lifting my disabled daughter. Caroline blew me away - I don't have much of a face regimen and went in so nervous...but Caroline didn't bat an eye and it felt like we were old friends by the end! I'm sending my daughters to help them with tips etc, and I'm going back in a few days for a spray tan. Needless to say, I'm a happy customer! read more

I recently booked a 90-minute Swedish massage with Chase and it was wonderful. He is extremely professional and it was a very relaxing experience. read more

I think this might be the first time I've given a 5 star rating. If I could rate higher I would! I was in dire need of a massage after a long flight and the usual stress that traveling professionals endure. Larry, the massage therapist was INCREDIBLE!! Wait, let me back up. First of all the aromatherapy in the facility will have you wanting to spend a night! Hints of lavender and natural calming scents made the experience memorable. Now back to Larry... for those of you that are not open to a male masseuse, you are denying your body the ultimate massage experience. Why would you want to leave this earth without ever having gotten a massage from Larry. It would be pointless to not experience heaven on earth!! Wow! I was in pain when I walked in.. lots of back pain and I was praying that the massage would help. Not only was it the greatest massage of my life, but all of the pain areas were relieved. It was AMAZING!! After the massage, I was escorted to a waiting room and given water and a therapeutic neck wrap (the kind that's filled with warm beads)... not sure of the official name but for the sake of this post, let's call it the awesome neck wrap!! It was an excellent addition to the experience!! Larry sat with me for a few minutes and we chatted. Afterwards, Marci the owner came out and we chatted. They are two of the most hospitable people on the planet!! If I lived in the area, I would schedule a massage weekly!! If you're in the area and need first class service in a soothing environment, visit Spa One Thirty One!! Your body will thank you!! The earth will thank you!! Your friends and family will thank you ...because you'll be such a happier person!! Absolutely AMAZING!! Thank God for Marci and Larry's parents!! I am so glad they were born!!! Yessssss!!! Signed, a HAPPY customer!!! read more

I got a massage with Tori today. I left feeling like a new man. It was amazing!!! Go see the guys at Spa 131. They do everything just right!!!! read more

The massage was not worth the price they charge and they were extremely disrespectful to me when I forgot to use my gift card I had gotten from someone to put towards the massage. They claimed there was "no going back because it was already processed" but I have worked in the restaurant business and I know it is definitely possible to give me a refund and then have me repay with the gift card. The massage was very average and I do not recommend this place. Wasted over $100 for not even the full time the massage was supposed to be, does NOT answer the phone, & was very disrespectful to the customer. Will never be returning and you should NEVER go read more

This is the very best spa in the Columbia area! Marci is knowledgeable, highly skilled, and caring. I have sensitive skin and a thorough medical history was discussed prior to any service. This kind of careful and informed questioning is necessary for excellent and educated service. The facials are exquisite! Massages are relaxing and tailored to each individual's need. My son has epilepsy, and the staff has been able to provide immense relief. The waxing is gentle. The makeup I received for my son's wedding was beautiful. Love Spa 131 read more

I found a really awesome deal on Groupon and decided to give them a try! The service was amazing and incredibly relaxing. Ginger and Victoria were kind, professional, and really good at their jobs. The facial used a citrus peel, which the first few minutes feel like an intense sunburn. I was constantly asked if it was too painful or too intense so we could take it off and remove it. My comfort was accounted for constantly. The only negative was how cold the building was. read more

I called Spa 131 desperate for a spray tan the day of a bachelorette party. I left a voicemail asking about cancellations for the morning. The ladies at Spa 131 called me right back with a last minute opening - they were so accommodating to my needs and worked with me to get me an appointment. Marci did a great job talking me through airbrush tanning since it was my first experience. Everyone there was so kind, the facility was beautiful and the tan was gorgeous when it developed. They even walked to me to my car after the spray since it was raining. Would highly recommend - can't say enough good things about Spa 131! read more

I got a prenatal massage from this place and it was an OK massage. First of all that place was freezing which made it quite a bit uncomfortable. I had mentioned my sciatica nerve issue due to pregnancy but the masseuse didn't address it at all. The staff was really nice and friendly, however I might try a different place next time. read more

Hands down Spa 131 has been on of the best spa experiences I've ever had. The shop is beautifully decorated in shades of grey, white and silver. It's really relaxing and calm. Marci and her staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. I have enjoyed every service at their facility from manicures to facials. However, my special treat had to be my massages by Byron. I enjoy heated massages and tried the hot stones massage first. When I arrived, the room was dimly lit, with music playing, and a massage table in the middle. Byron asked if there was anything was physically wrong or hurting before I undressed to prepare. I told him that I had calf, plantar fascia, and low back pain. He exited the room and allowed me to undress. I got comfortable under a sheet on the massage table. He reentered the room shortly after that and got to work. Between the heat from the hot stones and Byron's therapy skills I felt comfortable and relaxed. I think that's important to mention because many ladies I know won't go to a male masseuse. Bryon was always professional, used draping, and never lingered inappropriately. Also, he's stronger than most women and I appreciated that strength during my bodywork sessions. I never had to ask for more pressure or even deep tissue. His normal body work was not painful and helped with much. Because I love the heated massages, I later tried the MuXing massage and realized I was in love. The warm bamboo and rosewood tools allowed Byron to adjust to any pressure I wanted from super firm to barely there. The heat was incredible! I wasted to go every week. If I could afford it, I would have been there every day! Incidentally, I discovered that regular massages paid off in unexpected ways. My back hurt less so I was able to exercise more. My plantar fascia pain began to dissipate. I realized one day that I was walking without pain and no longer had to use daily medication for inflammation. My calf muscles were less tense and my gait improved. I never realized how beneficial bodywork could be until I moved away. After a month passed without a massage, all those physical pains slowly began to come back. I don't know if I'll find someone in my new town who was good as Byron was. I'm not sure if the spa will be as beautiful or the owner so sweet. But I will hunt for one. read more

I loved my experience here. Keisha Gabe me the very best massage I have ever had. I also loved how comfortable, relaxed, and at home the staff made me feel. I received a very knowledgeable and informative facial from Paige. The atmosphere is so cute, very well decorated. I also love the relaxation room available after services with the complimentary neck pillow. 10/10 would be back! read more

I've been coming here for facials since July and my skin has never looked better. I learned what works for my skin and what doesn't, and I always leave feeling refreshed and like a brand new person. Definitely the place to go to treat yourself (and you, yes you, deserve it)! read more

I have had a massage and facial from Spa 131 and highly recommend both. The staff take care of every detail from the point of entry to the wave good bye. You're welcomed by the staff and taken to the waiting room which is a beautiful seating area full of warm colors, gentle scents, snacks & infused waters. The staff is knowledgeable and want you to leave understanding the experience and read more

Ginger is AMAZING! Service was friendly and specific for you! She took the time to really see what I wanted. I just feel so relaxed and it's just what I needed! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this Spa and Ginger!!!! read more

Marci continues to excel! I recommended her to my own mother who told me, "That was the BEST facial I have EVER had!" And she was right!

They do a great job. My wife and daughter had a wonderful experience at the spa. I have given gift certificates for Christmas to a number of my friends over the years and they always rave about their incredibly relaxing experience! read more

The absolute best spa experience. Derrick was the best. I recommend him to everyone. When you walk in the atmosphere and professionalism of the workers were amazing. Forget everyone else and chose Spa 131 as your place to go. IT IS SO WORTH IT!!!!!! Theresa Reese read more

Spa 131 - Theresa R. - Skin Care Near Me - West Columbia, South Carolina

Managed to get a last-minute appointment for a spray tan during prom week (unbeknownst to me), and thought I had scored big with all the great reviews I had read about this place. When I arrived (15 min early), the workers were obviously very frazzled and overwhelmed, as there were walk-ins who had probably been waiting awhile. My appointment started 45 min. after I got there, and the lady who did mine was nice, but looking back, she didn't ask me any questions about what level of tan I was looking to get. As a pale blonde, I was only looking for a natural glow for my college graduation pictures- I've had spray tans before and the . Instead, I was given a heavy spray and sent on my way. She didn't lotion my elbows, knees, or hands, and I ended up looking like a "burnt chicken nugget" after showering multiple times- exact words of my coworkers. Luckily my photographer said she can edit my pictures to make me look normal, but I was still shocked with the results. It might have been a better experience if it wasn't the Wednesday before prom, but if I make an appointment for a service I expect it to be done right. I absolutely understand people have off days, but this experience was a huge mistake that I'm still trying to scrub off!! read more

I saw Lisa today for Back Skin Therapy. She took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel very comfortable from start to finish. Lisa was incredibly personable, while maintaining a high level of professionalism. She created a custom experience for my needs and was willing to tailor the treatment to what she thought would be most beneficial for my skin. Lisa provided insightful and helpful post-care recommendations and advice. I am looking forward to going back to Lisa at Spa 131! read more

Had the best facial from Marci just the other day. She is so intelligent and really took the time to educate me about skincare. My skin has never looked so great and the texture on my forehead is non existent now. Will be back for more treatments in the future! Thank you thank you!! read more

Love them my wax is always great I love Ashli I know I prolly didn't spell her Name right.. I spoke to her on the phone recently about a problem and she was very knowledgeable and understanding to my issue I will be back and hopefully a long time customer.. read more

My husband bought me a gift card for a massage for Christmas and I wish I would have used it sooner! LaToya was amazing and I have never felt so relaxed after a session. The only downside was noise of traffic on the nearby road but I wouldn't let that stop me from returning for another treatment. Highly recommend! read more

My fiance surprised me with a prenatal massage on Sunday with Bailey. She was amazing! I haven't really had a massage before however this felt amazing. I am already begging him for another next month! Highly recommend Bailey she made me feel completely comfortable and the bed and room were the perfect temperate. I will defiantly be back! read more

After looking at several different spas in Columbia, I decided on Spa 131. There was a mix up with the package I reserved as although it was on their website it was no longer available. Latonya called immediately and we were able to change the service. I surprised my mother with a spa treatment. WeeEntered Spa131 and was immediately greeted with a hearty welcome from Latonya and Robin. My mother had a swedish massage from Latonya which she absolutely adored. Sheila gave my mother the mani/pedi of a lifetime.It was indeed a wonder working experience. Everyone put my mother at ease. Every want and desire was attended to without us having to utter a word. Robin gave me an amazing deep tissues hot stone massage. She was professional, attentive and truly listened to my needs. It was one of the best massages I have had which includes services at the Ritz Carlton in Arlington, Va, The Four Seasons in DC, The Borgata in Atlantic City and Yelo on Fifth Ave in NYC.Once my massage was comoleted the great service did not end. I was allowed just to rest in the room. And was given a heated neck wrap to continue the relaxation. Robin continuously checked in with us to ensure we didnt need anything i.e. more water, snacks, etc. From the reception to the end of the experience in the tranquility room, our expectations were exceeded. An amazing experience in the heart of the South. (The spa is relatively new and is not as fancy as other spas;however, its cozy, they provide great treatments and wonderful people). I highly recommend!!! read more

Facial at the last minute and it was great. The room and bed was a bit cold. It was raining this day so cool day. Kandace did a wonderful facial. Going back end of the month to get a pumpkin exfoliation facial. read more

The very best of the best. Amazing facials and micro-dermabrasion treatments. For the very best skincare out there, you must call Marci!

My first visit today was a great first impression. Byron was extremely professional, nice and did a great job in getting me to relax during my massage. Marci went out of her way to come greet me after my appointment and made me feel very welcome. I am very excited about my facial scheduled for next week! This will be my go to place, of that I have no doubt. read more

Very welcoming. Marci and Latonya show true Southern hospitality. Facilities are nice and clean. After your services, they offer a "relaxation room" with snacks, coffee, tea, and magazines. read more

It was my first time getting a spray tan and I'm already hooked! Amazing job, color looks completely natural and an adorable shop. Can't wait for my next! read more

Owner Marci's welcoming personality is enough to keep you coming back for more. While other spas focus mainly on women, md Skin has plenty to offer men. Guys can get a "quickie" - a quick 30 minute hand massage and wake-up during lunch break, or get that back exfoliated. Don't forget to leave with a gift card for the wifey (especially for Mother's Day). read more

Marci is a very sweet woman, & it's true that she offers a variety of great services for both genders. Perhaps customers who are able to make appointments during M-F 8am-5pm will recieve her undivided attention, but for those considering scheduling appointments during her evening hours (6:00-7:00) or weekend appointments, please go elsewhere. She seems distracted as if she has better places to be and rushes through the service..which is reflected in the quality of the end product. When I offered constructive feedback in an tactful, polite, and professional manner, she became surprisingly passive aggressive. I will take my business elsewhere rather than feel like an inconvenience & receive the same quality (or lesser quality) service as her competitors offer. I am just being honest. read more

Not sure how this place gets such high reviews. I purchased two Groupons for my wedding anniversary; called and made arrangement and let them know that I had a Groupon as it states on the website. When I got there I was told that myself and my husband could only get two massages because we weren't scheduled for facials which is what I relayed when I made the phone call. The only response that I got from the lady at the desk was I could reschedule to a later date. Which happened to be two weeks later!!!!We both took off from work early expecting a facial and massage. I was very upset. This made me wish that I would have gone with my original plan of going out of town to a reputable and trustworthy spa as originally planned. At that point I had no other option and was very disappointed that they never tried to correct the situation by making it right somehow. Also, when I originally called to schedule, the lady who answered the phone was less than pleasing and basically demanded my Groupon numbers! Who does that? That information should not be requested until the day the service is received! Lesson learned! Next year we will be going where I KNOW we will be treated like we matter and the customer service and atmosphere is top notch. Also, we were told to come early to fill out paperwork, but why? We arrived 15mins. early only to sit in the waiting area for a total of 35 mins. until we were taken to have ONE service performed. The girls working seemed more interested in talking and laughing instead of not having us wait unnecessarily. I had every intention not to give a tip, but decided it wasnt their fault that management needs to do a better job of managing. As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for!" NEVER AGAIN will this place see us! And the nerve to try and get us to buy your membership package, or whatever you were trying to sell after our second visit! LAUGHABLE!! read more

I thought the facial from Marci was good. She was very informative about my skin, what to do, things to try. What I didn't like was when she ran my debit card, she turned the machine sideways because it would not let the transaction go forward without me choosing to give her a tip or not. Since she was right there, that made me feel very uncomfortable!! read more

This place is heaven!!! I was staying in Charleston, but drove almost 2 hours to get to this place because of the outstanding reviews. I can now add another 5-star review to the long list. Wonderful massage, refreshing scrub and I will definitely be returning!! read more
