Hair Decisions & Oasis Spa

Shellac manicures move to the burbs! OK ever since I started working in the burbs, I’ve been looking for a place to get a manicure on lunch. I think I found it. Usually, I am skeptical of a hair place masquerading as a nail salon (I feel they should be 2 separate entities). I was able to get a last minute appointment, the salon was clean, and everyone was friendly. My shellac manicure was great and you could tell the technician knew what she was doing. They also have 5 pedicure chairs. For $ 31, I’ll be back!

I’ve been a customer here for years. I see Monica for my hair and have NEVER been disappointed. She is a hair artist. My cut and color are complimented often.
I see Janet for massage. I love being able to buy 3 massages and getting the 4^th one free! Janet has a magic touch and knows where all my knots are.
I definitely recommend my «people» as well as the salon as a whole.

I have been getting deep tissue and therapeutic massages from Sharon for more than 5 years at Oasis. It his place is a hidden gem, very unassuming. I am glad that it isn’t a big foo foo spa. Instead they actually focus on good services and customer satisfaction. Sharon is very experienced and talented. She always fixes what ails me and I am so glad I found her after years of searching for someone with her skill level. Last year I started going to Jessie for back facials. Another very talented and super friendly person. I love my appointments here and often run into other long term customers in the massage area that feel the same way. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Manicures and pedicures with Jenny and Halina are fantastic. Both of them do a great job with the filing, foot/​hand massage, and polish, and I know I can count on either of these pros to make my nails look fantastic. The salon is super clean and pleasant, and the pedicure chairs are super comfortable (and in a little separate nook next to the manicure stations). Everyone I’ve encountered at Oasis, from making the call for an appointment, to being greeted in the salon, has always been friendly and professional.
The only reason they don’t get five stars is it’s not the hippest, most stylish building, and they don’t seem big on frou-​frou extras (like complimentary herbal tea or iced water with lemon slices) but I can enthusiastically recommend Oasis on all other counts quite highly.

I get my hair cut Regularly with Jamie (she’s a funny little gal), massages not often enough with Annie (best massage therapist I’ve had in a loooong time. My friends all go to her now), had a facial and I agree with previous review… felt pressured to buy product. It’s always clean, desk gals not the friendliest but I like visiting with Jamie and always get a good cut.

I’ve been to Oasis Spa four times, once for a manicure, once for a pedicure, once for a facial, and one eyebrow waxing. My first complaint is pretty standard for any sort of spa– after the facial, I felt pressured to buy products that were used on me during the facial. Not fair, especially considering it was too soon to know if I even liked them yet. This didn’t happen after my manicure or pedicure.
I am turned off of facials for a while, mainly because the process was uncomfortable, not relaxing, and my face broke out for over a week afterwards. I suppose this is pretty standard, and shouldn’t be held against the products or the facial, but I was disappointed. The steam made it hard for me to breathe, and the coverings she placed over my eyes did nothing to guard them against the bright lights used to inspect my pores and do «extractions,» which is a fancy way of saying she scraped my face with a blackhead remover, which hurts like heck.
I was most happy with the manicure, which was relaxing and really beautiful (plus, I really love that parrafin wax– it makes my hands so soft). The pedicure was amazing as well– when she finished, I couldn’t believe those were my feet! The problem with the pedicure is that they do them in the same, main room where they do manicures, and while I don’t have a problem soaking my hands and having them polished out in the open, it’s darn hard for me to enjoy a foot massage in front of an audience. Pedicures should be done in one of the massage/​facial rooms, I feel.
Jema did a kick-​butt job on my eyebrows. She waxed and plucked them exactly the way I like them. (Oh, and they do the waxing in a private room, btw).
They are very warm to new customers, and on my first visit gave me some certificates for 10 and 5 dollars off my next services and 20% of coupons for friends. I would recommend this place, if only because the staff is really nice.
