Oasis Day Spa (on Park Ave)

08/29/2008 Posted by kpicinich

i went to oasis day spa when they were having their 10 year anniversary specials. maybe it's because their prices were knocked back to 1998 levels that the place was so busy, but first and foremost, the waiting room was so crowded and so noisy! it was definitely NOT a relaxing atmosphere, although i could see how it would be when it wasn't so busy. the ladies' changing area was lovely, very well stocked, even had yummy treats! my facial was quite nice, and the woman who gave me my facial was lovely. she gave me some insight into my skin and so far her advice has been very helpful! my massage was less exciting....he had very rough hands that seemed callused, which is one of the last thing a massage therapist's hands should be!! i specifically asked him to work on my neck and shoulders and he barely got into any knots. i also understand what another reviewer said about the shaky/squeaky tables sounding like they were going to break....the table was a little wobbly, but i was never concerned that i would go crashing to the ground. all in all, i will not be going back to oasis, it doesn't seem worth the money to me for a massage....although i might consider it for a facial if they do another special (or perhaps spa week).

Pros: nice facilities if they weren't so noisy and crowded, good facial

Cons: bad massage, very noisy and crowded when i was there

I have been going to Oasis for about 2 years now & LIZZY is the Best!! I've gone to J Sisters & many others and none of them compare. She uses a special wax that really minimizes the pain and she is a perfectionist! I also had a wax with Georgette one time because Lizzy was on vacation - and like the previous review, experienced one of the worst waxings ever.

The swedish massage at the affinia dumont location by SHERRY was amazing!!!!!! Its was only 30 minutes and she massaged my entire body and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable......I highly recommend booking an appt. with Sherry...she's AWESOME!!!! The facilities were clean and the relaxation room was very nice.

Pros: staff

Cons: parking

I have been going to the Oasis Day Spa for about 3 years now and today was the worst waxing I ever received. Georgette was a nice woman but it was the roughest wax I have ever had. I actually have a severe bruise at a very awkward spot and even when i said the wax was to hot she didnt seem to do anything. Also normally the waxer leaves the room and lets your get dressed in private but she stood there in the room cleaning it which made things very awkward.

I've been to Oasis a few times over the years and find the spa services to be exceptional compared to many of the other spas I've visited. They have a wide variety of services performed by experts in their field in a nice relaxing environment, all at competitive prices. Highly Recommended!

This is the first time in 10 years of waxing in Miami, London and New York that I have actually looked forward to my appointments. The staff is super friendly with no pressure, the prices are the most reasonable I have found, and most importantly the waxing is perfect. Julie takes time to make sure it is all even leaves no strays( she is a perfectionist). I highly recommend this place because they are very patient with you and they know exactly what they are doing. I will be going there from now on to get my waxes done. Try it out, you will like this place too!!

Pros: The pure fact that they care about you and not just about your wallet.

Cons: Feel very, very sorry and sad that didn't find them before

My friend got me a massage package at Oasis which I used recently. She said I was too stressed lately and needed to relax. Not being a big spa goer, I wasn't really expecting much. I'm glad to report that my friend was right. Not only did I need a massage but I needed a massage at Oasis. The person who worked on me was fantastic and the massage made my troubles seem very far away during the session. Great advice from my friend and an even greater job by Oasis!

Pros: Service, Massage

From the person who booked my appointment, to the receptionist when I walked in, to the person who gave my massage and to the cleanliness of the location, Oasis was a homerun all the way around. It was my first spa experience and I'd definitely go back to Oasis.

Pros: Service, Massage, Location

I had a miserable experience at Oasis Day Spa. I am a frequent client at spas throughout the city and this was categorically the worst massage I have ever had. My masseuse used far too much oil, had zero technique, and did not go the entire 60 minutes. I strongly question the qualifications of their so-called professional personnel. Needless to say, there is a reason why you can get 3 people in for last minute massages....

Pros: none

Cons: poor quality service all around
