I surely recommend BrightWater Spa for your facial needs & treatments. I specifically go to Kelly & she is amazing! She informs me on what is good & bad to use for my skin & the facials are so enjoyable. Everytime after my face feels smooth, & rejuvenated. Always good conversations & a good time when I go. I go once a month & my face acne has improved so much. If you are debating if you should go or not, GO! You wont be disappointed

This spa is a hidden gem in Columbia. My first facial with Kelly was amazing. I have sensitive skin and took that as she did the facial. I've had several massages with Pat and she makes you feel so relaxed. Such a warm and inviting staff that I booked another appointment with Kelly and Pat.

I had my first massage with Patricia and it was amazing! I feel so relaxed now.

After working with their facialists, I have a skincare routine that doesn't irritate my skin. I have a ton of allergies, so this wasn't easy to figure out. Thanks, Brightwater.

An amazing experience. My mom doesn't like massages and enjoyed the Chakra massage immensely. My daughter and I very much enjoyed Chakra balancing and Reiki treatments. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience at a tranquil spa. I highly recommend!

This spa is truly a hidden gem in Hickory Ridge, Columbia. If you have the opportunity to be greeted by the warm welcome from the reception ladies, and the talented massage therapists, you will have a phenomenal spa experience. The owner, Jamie Bright, has built an oasis of relaxation! This award-winning spa is one to take notice of! And, the various items for purchase are as unique and different as the spa itself. I will definitely return!

Welcoming environment, friendly staff, exquisite facial!! New favorite place.

I have been here a few times and always have a wonderful experience. Kelly is the highly knowledgeable aesthetician who I choose for facials. Each time she addresses what's going on with my skin and implements the best plan and most effective treatment. I look forward to future facials. The front desk staff is always warm and welcoming, the environment is serene and I leave feeling rejuvenated and relaxed! Thanks for the five star service and happy this wonderful location has been a fixture in Columbia for many years!

Jenn did a great job with the Swedish stress massage. Afterwards it was like I was walking on clouds and I felt so relaxed!


Feb 06, 2023

Martha was so patient with me and all of my questions. She helped me pick out a tailored skin care plan (per my request) without ever trying to "sell me" on expensive products or procedures. I left after my facial with noticeably smaller pores and smoother/softer skin.

The best in town! I wish I have gone sooner to this place.

Excellent facial with Kelly

First things first-I'm a black-African American female with a severely sensitive skin, slightly aging and hyperpigmented. Finding products that work is a pain in the rear end, been to so many spas and derm offices around here...until this place. ...I usualy send Hubby here to get some products for me. Most of the products I buy are a bit pricey and I never have a chance to try and see how my skin would react. Once in a while, I go in myself. There's a young lady that sits behind the computer and there's a slightly matured woman who pops in from the back every now and then. Both are fabulous! The computer lady gave me samples of eyecream and Trio moisturizer (from Skinbetter Science) and Lord knows I needed to try these. I just went in for my cleanser and she asked what I use and I told her just 2 things from that brand. Both samples were much needed and greatly appreciated and I will be buying full size products! Also, will soon be rescheduling my facial with Kelly (whom I'm yet to meet but I know she will be fabulous!) Now the slightly matured lady-(who also reccomended the best sunscreen for me on a previous visit) I sent hubby (on a Saturday afternoon) for a product-which they didn't have-she loaded him with 2 weeks supply of it! I can't tell you how helpful this was! This was a new product for me, so I was nervous even as I was trying to buy it. (Skinbetter Clearing Serum) This place is the best! Just awesome and I will tell everyone I know about this spot. Thank you Ladies!

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!

I’ve been a client of Brightwater Spa for almost 5 years. As a previous owner of a salon and day spa, I can tell you that Brightwater is a 5-star business. The owner, Jamie has created and maintained a beautifully designed, tranquil setting with a warm professional team. If you’re in the market for eyelash extensions, look no further than Candace. She knows lashes and is always exploring educational opportunities to stay current on new products and techniques. Candace is professional, friendly and goes out of her way to ensure that you’re pleased with the result. It is no surprise and definitely well-deserved that Brightwater Spa has won Best of Howard County awards and last year Best of Baltimore.
