I have been to Aquarius since I moved to the Chapin area for massage services. Their spa is top notch, especially since the move to the new building where everything is more spacious and has that 'fresh paint smell.' Recently, I started going for gel manicures and with the addition of Natasha, I will never go anywhere else. Natasha specializes in polygel and is talented, nail health focused and creative. I would encourage anyone in the Chapin area to make a special trip to get one of Natasha's manicures! read more

Buyer beware! My advice is to never purchase a gift certificate for anyone from the establishment. Their certificates are for a dollar amount not a service, yet past the expiration the dollar value is no longer good. The explanation given was when it expires the money goes back into the business. No worries, there are many other quality spas in the area read more

It's such a rare feeling to step out of the chair after a cut and color and think, WOW, this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Doreen is truly exceptional. She not only listens attentively and offers thoughtful advice, but she also delivers exactly what you're looking for, all with a genuine passion for her work. Her remarkable ability to connect with clients from all walks of life and of all ages is truly inspiring. Having gone to the same stylist for 12 years, I was apprehensive about finding someone new after moving, but Doreen has been an absolute godsend. I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Went here for a few months awful experience everyone so judgmental and rude. You will pay 600$ and leave unhappy then they charge YOU for there mess up because you want it fixed. they don't care about taking there time and none of them are passionate about there work everything's rushed sloppy and just complete waste of money !! Go to SALON EMBER literally 2 mins down the road and you will spend half the money and leave sooo happy !! read more

Nice spa with relaxing massage, great staff. Would definitely recommend. Returning soon!

I've been coming to Aquarius since I was a little girl and haven't had any issues. I made an appointment at the last minute because I live out of town and was excited to come back. I'm a struggling college student and I finally had enough money to go. I've made multiple appointments before and I've never had an issue with them. I live 2 hours away from Chapin and I was planning to visit my family this weekend, so I was so happy to be able to go back and visit the workers that I haven't seen in awhile. I booked my appointment on Wednesday, June 27th for 9:00am, June 29th. The cost of my appointment was $120, which is very expensive but I was prepared to pay because I was a loyal customer. However, my family had an emergency come up and I was alerted the night before the appointment. As soon as I received the message, I immediately called Aquarius and left a message explaining the situation. I explained how I was just alerted about the situation with my family a few hours prior and how I was no longer able to make it to Chapin. I knew it was less than 24 hours before so I figured there would be some sort of small cancellation fee. It was around 1AM so I knew i'd be paying a fee either way. I apologized profusely, saying I understood if there was a late cancellation fee and hoped that they would understand since I've never canceled an appointment at the last minute. The employees have always been very nice to me and I hoped that they would understand my struggle. The next morning, I received a text at 7AM asking me to confirm my appointment. The message reads: "We're looking forward to seeing you for your 9:00 AM appt on Jun 29, 2024. Aquarius Spa and Salon. (803) 345-1920. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hour notice are subject to a fee. No-shows will be charged the entire service charge. To confirm your appointment press Y and send." ** I never confirmed the appointment over text or phone. An hour later, I received this message: "We do require 24 hour notice to cancel or change your appointment. We charge 100% of the service with late notice." I was expecting a late fee, but was not expecting to be charged for the full service because I did call to cancel the appointment. I was charged the full price for a "no-show" but I called and canceled the appointment the night before. I called the salon and hoped to clear up this situation. The owner, Marie, answered the call and after I asked if my voicemail was received she said "yes, it was received but it was within less than 24 hours before the appointment. the employee showed up and she has to be paid for her time, so there's not really anything I can do." Naturally I was upset because I was being charged for an entire service even though I called to cancel. Essentially, I was charged for the entire service ($120) rather than a late cancellation fee, which is what they claimed I would have been charged. I've never once canceled an appointment at this business or been a no-show, yet I was still charged for an entire service fee and treated as a no-show when I alerted them if the emergency at the last minute. The owner also takes a percentage of her employee's tip on top of taking a percentage of the service booked. I believe this is the reason she charged me for the entire service instead of the late cancellation fee. I've only ever gotten spa services at Aquarius, I've never felt the need to find another place. However, with this incident, I won't be returning after nearly 15 years of coming here with my family. read more

Professional, polite, experienced! Never disappoints! Tina is a fantastic massage therapist who focused on a shoulder injury I had. She applied just the right pressure and heat to give me the relief from the pain in my shoulder. Best 60 minute massage session! Well worth the price! Fantastic salon, ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Massage snob ‍ Scheduling was so easy (love an online option) got a call the following morning to confirm. Beautiful location not far from Columbia, and worth the drive from the city. I was greeted by my therapist, Dawn, whose hands are made of gold, magic, and whatever is in addictive substances. Wow. So incredible. Highly recommend! read more

Loved my waxing services! My hair color & haircut was awesome! Will totally recommend to others.

Amy is kind friendly and takes her time. I would recommend to others and use this spa again. Thank you Amy and staff of Aquarius for a good experience. read more

Just moved to the area and I was looking for a new salon. After trying three different salons in the Columbia area, I am back for a second time with Susan at Salon Aquarius. She gave me an awesome haircut and definitely took her time (1.5 hrs), which is really necessary for me since I have such thick hair. If you are looking for a great stylist in the Chapin area, come visit Susan. Also, the salon is beautiful and I'm definitely planning on coming back for a facial or massage soon! read more
