I had a wonderful hour long massage with Elaine. Good pressure, some stretching and very relaxing. She found all of my problem areas and gave some great advice too. I will definitely go back to have a massage with Elaine. The spa itself is nice and cozy. The front desk staff wasn't too helpful but hopefully next time I go it will be better.

Lindsay was amazing! She used the perfect amount of pressure and really spent a lot of time on my knots and areas of aches. Great experience- definitely will go back!

I scheduled a massage appointment and told the girl I was using a gift card I received as a gift. The masage was okay but the worst was when I went to pay they receptionist told me they don't except the CA gift cards anymore. I told her I made sure before I made the appointment that you did and was told I could still use the gift card. The girl was rude and said she would have to call the owner. She handled the situation very unprofessionally and so did the owner. The CA manager was called and I spoke to him and he said it was ridiculous and excepted my gift card and apologized for the inconvenience. i will never go to Lynn's again.

I was very disappointed with the massage I had at Natural Body with Deprice. I was scheduled for a 90 min massage and got barely 60 min. Deprice was very unprofessional and seemed to have no experience.

She never once asked me how I was doing, she threw 2 wet towels on the floor after she took them off my body. I was so disturbed by the laziness of this I could not believe what I was hearing. I was trying to relax but it was difficult. Not only the loud slap of 2 towels but I heard 2 men the entire time laughing and talking during my massage. I mentioned something to Deprice and she did nothing. I told her they were very distracting and loud. She never apologized or said anything.

Deprice did not use enough lotion or oil which made it uncomfortable. She used lotion but it was barely used and she had rough, dry hands which made it even worse. I didn't want to be rude and tried to stay positive that it would get better.

During my massage I felt like she was tired or did not want to be there and just rubbed my neck with barely her fingers and it sounded like she was going to sleep. She even made a snort sound during that long process. I have never been to anything like this and did not know what to say. So I'm warning anyone that is getting a massage here. Don't waste your money on Deprice. It was a waste of time and money.

The worst is my girlfriend and I were spending a special day together- spa, shopping and dinner. She enjoyed hers and was so oiled up she was slipping out of her flip flops. I talked to her once we left and got even more angry that I was so unhappy. I did tell the manager that I was cut very short and she did charge me less. I was still bummed and didn't want to ruin the rest of our day. I had planned to call the manager after we had dinner but figured I won't be going back but I feel I should let others know and the manager hopefully will read this too and make a change. I wish I had my spafinder $100 gift certificate back :( Please learn from my bad experience.

I really enjoyed my pregnancy massages at this spa. Very relaxing and a nice treat! Rachel was excellent and very professional. Definitely recommend this spa for all massages in the Columbia area.

I had an appointment for a massage and found out they were offering specials for the month of September. So I added on a facial for $40! It was such a great relaxing morning and nice treat. I would definitely recommend visiting this spa if you are in the area. They offer lots of specials that you can find on facebook if you become a fan! The staff are so professional and friendly! What a great experience!!
