41 minutes ago New…read moreThis 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.

It was a gift as why we came to this spa. I'm a regular massage spa person, so this one started…read moreoff 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!

From start to finish, Bliss made the first massage ever for my 64 year-old Mother this Mother's Day…read moreweekend very enjoyable. The owner was very communicative, accommodating, and understood the specific needs of my Mom. Eric, the masseuse, is very laid back, easy to talk to, and took the time to put my mother at ease and accommodate her requests during the massage. Mom said several times after her hour-long massage was done that she "feels like a new woman." She's been having some neck tension and spasms, and we wanted to treat her to a massage this Mother's Day to help alleviate some of that. This experience was so pleasurable for her and she notes that she will take Erin's recommendation and schedule a massage now once a month. Bravo! Thank you for helping us pamper our Mom in this very special way.

Okay, this is hands down (no pun intended!) the best massage in Columbia…read more Jennifer Brown is the Licensed Massage Therapy of Bliss Massage Therapy. She is located in the Personally Fit gym on Gadsen. There are about 5 reserved parking spots to the side as well as metered spots out front. You need to go to the back of the gym and turn right to find her. Inside, you have a relaxing seating area and then the massage room. She will give you your choice of music. If you are congested, she likes to use eucalyptus to open up those nasal passages. Just a little background on me: Today, I sat down and finally counted the # of massage therapists I have tried in Columbia for a deep tissue massage. The total? 8. Yup, at several other brick-and-mortars in the city. I like a true deep tissue massage, not gentle Swedish strokes though she does offer Swedish as well. She hits my tension knots every single time without missing and I consistently leave much more relaxed and relieved. Jen truly has a gift of a healing touch as well as a caring empathetic bedside manner to her. She will make you feel at ease instantly. I moved out of Cola recently, and I honestly wish I could have taken with me in my luggage. If you need tension relief, please visit her. If you're like me, you will leave with a goofy blissed-out smile and noodle-like body!

As the name says, you'll get a nice massage here. Not outstanding. But nice…read more Aside from a decent massage, I like that you don't have to wait long for an appointment. (So far, same day if not as soon as you can get there. Probably because they aren't too busy.) For me, this is pretty important because I primarily get a massage after I've overdone it physically and am sore or tight (like after a very long drive.) I don't get them for pampering, which can be scheduled well in advance. I also like that you don't have to sign up for a membership. On the negative side (the reason for the loss of a star), communication is often challenging. English is definitely not their first language. So small talk or conversation beyond explaining how long you want, and how firm, and what areas to focus on is unlikely. I suspect if I spoke their language (Mandarin? Cantonese? Vietnamese?) it would be better.

When we checked out, my girlfriend paid the masseuse the $240 for the massages and presented them with $20 for a tip. The lady seemed confused and we clarified $10 each.

I had been told over the phone the price would be $240 so I brought $260. When I went to pay the lady made me feel horrible and embarrassed when she questioned my tip! She obviously could speak English when she told me 20% was expected! I said that is all I have and if they EXPECT a tip, they should include it in the price. I wish I had just taken the $20 back and told her if that wasn't good enough, I'd take it back! But, I didn't. I personally make $15 an hour, so this was a big spend for me and I was excited to experience it with my boyfriend only to have it ruined by rudeness. So, I don't really know what kind of rating to give. Physically, it was great, but emotionally it was horrible...a middle 3 is fair I think
