I visited Brightwater Spa for the first time and scheduled a facial with Kelly. Kelly and the staff at Brightwater were wonderful! Kelly is very kind and knowledgeable. I have already scheduled my next appointment to go back!

Excellent facial with Kelly

Love this place!! Kelly has helped me tremendously with my skin issues, as well as my teenage daughter.The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing.Thank you Brightwater and Kelly for giving me my skin confidence back 💙💙.

First time ever going to a spa thanks to Christmas gift.i had a very heavenly experience.calm relaxing atmosphere that sets even the most anxious person at ease. I definitely recommend this place, and the wonderful staff members.special shout out to Jen for the massage. Jen treated me like a person and not just a client, and even tailored my needs to the massage due to a recent injury that is still healing. Thank you Jen and the rest of the spa staff at bright water, I look forward to my next visit.

Brightwater Spa has an amazing atmosphere and the staff are so friendly and caring. I brought my daughter in to see Kelly, as her face was constantly breaking out. Kelly spent the time talking to my daughter to figure out her skin care regimen in order to figure out what was causing the problem. My daughter was made to feel very comfortable while Kelly did a peel and hydrating treatment. Kelly provided detailed guidance to my daughter on how to take care of her skin moving forward. Within a week of this treatment, my daughter’s skin was clear. I would absolutely recommend going to see Kelly, as she is a miracle worker and truly cares about her clients.

I had an amazing facial experience with Kelly. She is incredibly knowledgeable and recommends the treatment that is right for your skin. I received a retinol peel facial and it was exactly what my skin needed. Kelly made me feel relaxed and I couldnt be happier with the look and feel of my face after treatment. In addition, the front desk staff and general ambiance of the spa makes for a wonderful experience as soon as you walk in the door.

Had a lash lift & tint done here. The price was $100 which is a bit more pricey than what Im used to but the friendly staff and calming atmosphere was well worth the extra cost. The only complaint I have is that the lash lift was not as dramatic as one I had gotten a couple years ago. Maybe a different solution? The lash tint was awesome and something I definitely will be coming back for.

There isnt a better group of professionals in any spa Ive ever been to, and that says a lot. Ive loved treating myself to spa services for most of my adult life. You simply cant go wrong, I highly recommend Brightwater for any service, youll be immensely pleased. The personal touch is genuine and I think this is a major part of the positive experience

Fantastic experience, need a break and no time for a vacation? Treat yourself to an afternoon of pampering...I did and LOVED it! The Spa is beautiful, the staff...friendly, experienced, talented and delightful. The owner is a one of a kind gem. I was pleasantly surprised by how often a sigh escaped from my lips as relief, relaxation and rejuvenation kicked in! Call them!

Kelly did a terrific job on my facial. She was super nice and welcoming. She walked me through the process, answered all of my questions, shared a lot of useful information, and made great recommendations. All in all it was a great experience. I will definitely come back for another visit.

I love this place. Everyone is very skilled and super nice!

This spa is designed beautifully and you feel so relaxed the minute you step in the door. Every time I have gotten gel nails and pedicure by Candace they look amazing. I always have gotten complimented on my beautiful looking nails:) I recommend Candace to everyone and this wonderful spa, it has everything. So happy to have found it.Karen

I usually see Pat who is absolutely phenomenal and by far the best Ive ever had. On my last visit I had Kara and I was blown away. Best foot and ankle massage (which I requested some focus on) I have ever had!I love this place and cant wait to go back!

Its been a wonderful experience knowing the gals at Brightwater Spa for so many years. Not only has the staff, led by Jamie Bright, cared for me, both body and spirit, but supported so many of the benefits in Columbia. Thank you. And thank you for keeping my skin youthful looking (which is tough when youre in your 70s). I love the products, most recently Revision Skincare anti-aging tinted moisturizer and related creams. And I love Marthas gentle hands for my facials.

Brightwater is the perfect place to go for a relaxing spa treatment! As soon as you enter the beautiful lobby you are welcomed by the staff into a calming environment, and it only gets better from there. I had the 60 minute Melt Away massage, and it was worth every penny. I was also pleased to learn that they offer 30 minute mini massages where you tell the therapist on which areas to concentrate. I will certainly be heading back for one of those very soon!

My BEST spa experience ever! Everyone is warm and welcoming. The decor, ambiance, lighting and sounds combine to offer a relaxing atmosphere that is soothing and calming. The knowledge and expertise of the staff is evident in everything that they do. I could not be in better hands. Brightwater is what a spa should be - a place to feel renewed and refreshed. And beautiful!

This review could easily move toward loved it-But I am hard Grader! I had every service (Other than Bikini Wax), during over the last decade, I can say that every provider Ive had it at least very good. I have had Massage, facials, Nails, and back treatments. They do their best to stay on time, and they morph into the clients demeanor when it comes to talking, or not talking! I have been to almost every higher end Body treatment salon in the Howard County area, and Skin Care institute should be considered.

The atmosphere was very clean and well decorated/organized for relaxing.

Love. Love, love this small feel spa. Everyones nice. Owner on hand, and the atmosphere with beautiful blue colors are calming. Martha, Shannon and Cara are excellent providers!!

I had my first experience as a client this week; the owner and staff, professional, knowledgeable, licensed, and passionate about health, wellness, and beauty. Practice has up to date services and equipment. I was so pleased with my chosen treatments, I booked subsequent series to return as repeat client.

Jamie and Kelly are the greatest ladies! I love their customer service. The entire staff is a gracious and skilled team of professionals! It is a great well decorated, inviting, and peaceful place!

Brightwater is a wonderful spa. I have been a customer for over 20 years and would recommend it to anyone. Everyone is friendly and courteous as well as knowledgeable. It is tastefully decorated throughout which adds to your experience.

My doctor recommended that I get a lymphatic drainage massage. After calling several spas, I called Brightwater and was told that they had a therapist who could help me. They were right, I saw Pat. She was incredible. I felt so wonderful after that massage. I will absolutely schedule with Pat again.

I received great customer service right away from my initial phone call setting up my appointment. My daughter had the facial which did wonders for her skin. I highly recommend Brightwater Spa for the experience and amazing facial.

Before the carefree lifestyle of summer ends and the busy days of fall arrive I scheduled a little pampering at Brightwater Spa. I enjoyed a facial, pedicure and manicure. I have to say that each of my experiences were incredibly relaxing and were provided by individuals who really know their art. Kelly provides fantastic facials that always leave my skin feeling healthy and vibrant. Deb provides my manicures and pedicures and always encourages me to try something new which I really enjoy. From the minute you schedule your appointment until the moment you walk in the door you can feel that you are in for a treat and moreover Jamie and her entire staff make you feel comfortable right from the beginning. Your every need is taken care of and you are truly in for a delightful experience of the highest quality. I love Brightwater Spa it is a hidden gem and one of the best kept secrets in Columbia.I would highly recommend it for your next spa treatment

Brightwater Spa is the most wonderfully relaxing place to be! The staff is caring & delightful, the ambience is soothing, and the products used & available for sale are thoughtfully chosen & high quality. I have had a variety of services here, from nails to massage & facials - Ive even had my lashes tinted! I highly recommend this spa - go, youll love it!

I see Jen for amazing massage therapy. I have also had mani/pedis there too and am very happy. The spa is clean, welcoming, and fresh!

Absolutely the BEST! The staff is very professional and Im always more than happy with the services. From the gorgeous eyelash extensions that Shannon does to the massages and facials - this is my go-to spot to unwind and pamper myself.

Kelly is the best

Love the calm and soothing atmosphere Jamie has created. Debbie is my star with my manicures, both regular and gels, and she’s really a wonderful and caring friend!

Just had my nails done by Debbie!!! I never had gel on my nails before and I am in love. Thanks for the great experience and my nails looks amazinggggggggg. Thanks Debbie 😁😁

I was searching online for a local, reputable spa that had packages that would suit my desire for relaxation and pampering as a birthday gift to myself. My first visit to the spa today was enchanting! I had the Nurture package, which included an *amazing* facial by Kelly, a great massage by Pat, and a gel mani/spa pedi by Debbie. In addition to complimentary wine and truffles, I absolutely loved the hospitality and BRIGHT smile of owner Jamie throughout my entire visit :) Definitely will be a return client

Awesome day spa!! Highly recommend to anyone. The staff is incredibly knowledgable about all of the services and products available. Kelly has done my waxing for years!! Wouldnt go anywhere else. 5+ rating!

I have a facial at least every other month. My skin feels amazing afterwards. I have been going to this SPA for over 15 years. The staff is wonderful and I always feel welcome. Martha is fantastic.

Everyone there was so nice and warm. Kelly did my facial, and I definitely will go back.

Brightwater Spa is an amazing oasis where I can relax and be pampered. I treat myself to facial once a month, and massages as often as I can. The treatments are first class, the staff are professional, and I always feel taken care of when leave.

Lovely hidden gem in Columbia - wonderful, relaxing time today - I needed that!

I visited the spa last week and had the most awesome massage with Pat. She really knew exactly what I needed. Her skillful knowledge was beyond everything I have ever experienced

I visited Debbie Saturday and love how my nails look . I had gels done and they look wonderful.Jana

Excellent Brazilians!

Have been a client for 20 yrs....Best day spa around. Martha is the only person who truly understands my crazy skin!

Wonderful environment, warm and professional ! Love Kellys facials! Jamie created a warm and inviting environment! Highly recommend this spa! 😍

I just had the most amazing hot stone massage from Pat. I really thought I was floating on a cloud. This spa rocks. It is so beautiful.

I have been coming here for over 20 years. This is one of the nicest and cleanest Spas you will ever go to.

I have been coming to the Skin Care Institute for about 15 years, and I wouldnt go anywhere else. Kelly does the best facials I have ever had, and I have many facials both here and in Europe. At the same time, Shannon does the best mani/pedi you could get anywhere, and now that they are in their new, beautiful spaces -- how could you ask for more. The staff is wonderful and very professional. This place is TOPS.

Brightwater—inviting, peaceful ambience; a gracious, skilled and experienced team of professionals, a veritable plethora of excellent services. Something for everyone . . . the Best Spa in Howard County.

Brightwater is a calming and relaxing space. Everyone working there is friendly and helpful. Kelly gives a quick (important!) and efficent wax.

The best spa ever! Everybody is so nice and professional! I never go anywhere else!

Great place, good service and reasonable price for their services.

A shout-out to Martha! Thanks so much for a wonderful facial.Youre just the best!!

Just had the most amazing waxing experience with Kelly at Brightwater Spa at the Skin Care Institute. I got a Brazilian and eyebrow wax and both were as painless as it could be..New location is beautiful!

Ive been going to the Skin Care Institute for over two decades and find the quality of service, vibe and staff professional, calm, capable and awesome. Brightwater, the new iteration, is GORGEOUS ... and the same quality service and staff are still there!

I have been coming to Martha for over ten years. She is a very gentle waxer! Love Brightwater!

OMG! This place is wonderful!! This is a calm and relaxing place where everyone is nice. This is not an experience to miss!

WOW! My feet feel FABulous! Thanks Candice!What a wonderfully calm and serene space! From the moment one enters the spa door...you are transformed! Sitting in the mani/pedi room, I felt like I was in a tree house.Highly recommend BRIGHTWATER, the Spa at the Skin Care Institute.

Brightwater is Amazing! I wanted to treat my wife to a special spa day. They were so invested in making my wife feel special . I will be giving Brightwater Gift Certificates for a long time. Thank you Brightwater for making me look good.

Marias reflexology was great. I love the spa very calming relaxing environment.

Beautiful spa, I always go to Candace for gel nails, they always come out perfect. Wish I could go to Brightwater Spa every day!
