Oasis Day Spa

I went to Oasis for a Brazilian wax and I've had a few before at other places. The actual wax was great, maybe the best I've ever had, but the woman who was waxing me was probably the most unfriendly spa staff personel I've ever met. She didn't say a WORD the whole time, no "how are you?" or anything. I tried to be friendly from the start, making it clear I was somewhat nervous about the procedure and un-aware ALL undergarments had to be removed for the procedure. This obviously made the experience VERY uncomfortable. In the past, I've only been to places where paper thongs were given. When she came in and saw I had not removed mine, she rudely told me to do so. I think in the future it might be a good idea to have staff explain that little detail. I will go back to Oasis but definitely NOT go back to her. I have read previous reviews and have a couple names in mind to request. more

Where is Donna? She was the best waxer ever! Her bikini waxing skills were second to none! I've tried other girls..and it's just not the same. Please get Donna back. more

I think this place gives the best facials in NYC. never ever have i had a bad experience here. worth every penny. Pros: nice people, atmoshere, facialists are great Cons: can't think of any more

I went to the Oasis to relax and enjoy my day with a spa package.I had the swedish massage by Gina who had an attitude from the start and the massage was average. Definitely not worth the price. I also had the seaweed body wrap which was interesting and a fun experience. This was followed by a facial from Bezena who was absolutely great! She even told me that I should switch to a less expensive facial because I booked the wrong one! I then had a mani and pedi which was definitely not worth the price. I read the advertisements and thought that I would be getting a "spa mani and pedi" however it was just normal nail service that you can get on 34th st for $20. The pedicure area was a dim and dark corner and Irena ( the lady who did my nails) had a lion's mane and had to pull her hair up in a huge ponytail. This ponytail then proceded to block out the dim light from above and I just couldnt believe she could see anything. Whats even more funny...she then pulls out her glasses because she couldnt see! Definitely not worth the spa prices. Lastly I got a haircut by Carmine who did a fantastic job! I would come again for a facial. more

I have gone to a few places that I saw recommended online, and some were ok, and didn't have results, some hurt, but helped - Julie at Oasis was the most pleasant, GENTLE, thorough and EFFECTIVE facialist I've ever been to. But the proof is in the fact that my skin looks better than it's looked since I was 18! It's amazing, and I will look no further for my facials.... all of the fantastic reviews for Oasis are true... and the quiet clean atmosphere only makes the experiance all that much more pleasant. Pros: Amazing Facial, Beautiful Atmosphere, Great Staff Cons: Slightly more pricey, but worth it! more

I've gone there seveal times, never a complaint. The stuff is polite and friendly. i've had so many treatments there, and they're wonderful and divine! They're not pushy on the products they use, they give me free samples of stuff, and so nice. They always greet you with a glass of water at the end of your treatment. I've had the swedish massage, the heated stone massage and the shiatsu massage, all were amazing and professional. The facials I've gotten there are all wonderful, extractions were not painful unless it was a big one. i do remember that i had booked for a microabrasion, and the lady on the phone instructed me not to do so as i was going to an event in a few days. she told me that a regular facial would be good and that microabrasion would be too much and that it would take a few days and more for skin to heal. Very knowledgeable staff. I haven't gotten a wax there yet, but i'm almost tempted to now. more

I have only had a Brazilian waxing done twice before, both at luxurious spas (Elizabeth Arden), and I have to say I was extremely nervous after reading some of the previous reviews on Oasis. But I must say this was beyond a pleasant experience. The technicians name was Liz, and was AMAZING. I have pretty course hair, which is always painful, but she talked me through everything and I was almost crying at the results! It was painless; she was talkative and focused on my personal needs. I will never go to anyone else, and my boyfriend would agree with the results! Pros: Great Waxing, Great Facial Cons: I personally did not have a single complaint on this occasion! more

My husband gave me a gift certificate to Oasis Day Spa for a one hour massage, facial, manicure and pedicure. It was a great experience from beginning to end. The staff was very friendly and professional. The ambiance created an extremely relaxing and soothing atmosphere. There are healthy snacks and herbal teas available and a lovely locker room which has showers, a sauna and even Belgian chocolates for you to enjoy. It was like a great one day vacation! Pros: Staff & Services: Top Notch! Cons: None more

I am so sad to have to write this. I just moved to the city a few weeks ago and am an avid fan of massages. Oasis was hands down the worst ever. I saw a coupon on Citysearch and after reading the reviews and checking out the website, I felt it would be a great choice. WRONG. I was taken into the massage room, which stunk like old vegetable oil, and saw on the bed a single, tiny (!) bath towel to get under. The unheated bed was more rickety than a rocking chair on a wooden porch. With every movement the bed creaked and felt like it was about to fall apart. The masseuse kept his oil in a plastic squeegy bottle and I was so lubed that I felt greasy even after a shower later that night. Not to mention that the massage wasn't even good enough to make up for it- scratching my back does not equal a deep tissue massage. Chad had no flow and jumped from here to there, all in his socks! So unsanitary. I felt bad complaining afterwards but i honestly thought it would be worthwhile- until the receptionist told me that a manager would talk to me but since I was using a coupon they wouldn't make any changes to my bill! First of all they don't equate to each other, and I was more disappointed that after telling them my experience was "awful," they didn't care enough to make a difference. For a hundred bucks, I'd rather take it and put it towards a spa that justifies the high price. Oasis, if you're not going to use your profits to strive for quality service, at least spend it on a more CLEAN, euphoric atmosphere- battleship grey is not a pleasant color for a spa. Or at least splurge on some blankets and earplugs to drown out the bed noises. Shoeless workers do not make up for a crappy bed. Pros: was able to schedule for that day Cons: Quality! Price, atmosphere more

I WAS PAYING FOR SERVICES FOR MY MOTHER AROUND THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, AND I HAVE TO ADMIT IT WAS A LITTLE HECTIC. A RECEPTIONIST BY THE NAME OF VANESSA TOOK CARE OF ME AND SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL, AND FLASHED A WINNING SMILE THAT WAS HARD TO FORGET..... I DIDN'T FEEL RUSHED AND WAS PROVIDED FULL UNDIVIDED ATTENTION ALONG WITH COMPLIMENTARY CHOCOLATE....WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE THAT I JUST MIGHT TREAT MYSELF TO A COUPLE OF SERVICE. THE AMBIANCE OF THE SPA WAS REALLY RELAXING, MY MOTHER ENJOYED HER SERVICE AND IS SURE TO RETURN TO OASIS! Pros: AMBIENCE, CUSTOMER SERVICE more

My husband got me a spa package for my birthday which consisted of a manicure, pedicure and a massage. Basic treatments, yes, but Oasis on Park did a great job from beginning to end. The staff made me feel very welcome and the people who worked with me were wonderful. I felt very refreshed after my visit and highly recommend Oasis Pros: staff, treatments more

I was given a gift certificate and was looking forward to the Oasis experience. Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing one. I signed up for a scrub w/ vichy water. I should have been told not to make plans after the session since I left the room with my hair soaked to the roots. In a very flippant manner I was told that brushes and hair dryers were available. You can imagine how upset I was since I was going to a concert with the new man in my life. The treatment could not have been further than what its name implied, since my skin didn't look or feel any better than when i entered the room. If I had to rate this experience on a scale of 1-10, it would be a 2, since the front office personnel was very affable and attentive. more

I had a great experience at Oasis. After a long aggravating day at work, Oasis was just what the doctor ordered. I was greeted kindly by the person at the front desk. Everything was right on time and the facilities were very clean. The massage itself was wonderful, hitting all the sore spots on my lower back. I've heard a lot of nice things about Oasis and now I know why, Highy recommended Pros: clean, professional Cons: none more

This was my third trip to Oasis, and I remembered why I always go back. The front desk staff was polite and efficient. More importantly, I had made an appointment for a deep cleaning facial. The aesthetician took one look at my skin, and said ?you don?t need it.? She changed my treatment on the spot, and it was for a LESS EXPENSIVE one. How often does that happen? No up-sale, no pushing product. Those four words will keep me coming back. more

I get a lot of massages, but none compare to the job done by Beth. She was very attentive and receptive to feedback. I felt like a new person afterwards. The atmosphere of Oasis is very relaxing. I loved using their sauna before and after my treatment. Their front desk is a little disorganized though, and I came in on a weekday afternoon, so I can't even image what it would be like when really busy. But over all, great spa, will def. come back! Pros: Beth, ambience, sauna Cons: Slightly chaotic front desk more

I went here during Spa Week 2006 to get a massage. The spa is beautiful and spacious. The relaxation room is great with many different teas, water and snacks ( dried fruit). The room is round and dimly lit. They have plenty of magazines to browse through. The locker room was very nice with tons of ametities as well. The steam room was a nice touch. My massage therapist wasnt very pleasant unfortunately but it doesnt mean I didn't like the spa. It was my first massage ever and the therapist inquired about that, so I thought that she would be more attentive. I did not know what to expect and she didn't really care. I would still like to come back for other treatments and fingers crossed that I get a different therapist!!!! Otherwise, wonderful place! Pros: Nice relaxation room with snacks, great locker room with sauna and nice showers, Cons: therapist was not very nice and cold more

I hada facial and massage at Oasis and it was all a great experience. Ariel was the facialist and she was really sweet and also very knowledgeable. She recommended some great products the Spa offers but wasn't pushy at all. I have extremely sensitive skin and have had problems in the past getting facials, but Ariel knew exactly what was going on and how to work with my skin type. I had a massage with Shoko. It was one of the best massages I've ever had. I told her very little about what I needed - because I wasn't sure - so she asked me a few questions and just knew instinctively what to do. My whole experience at Oasis Day Spa was great. Everyone is really friendly and even though it was very busy, no one made me wait. I recommend getting there early, the reception desk gets pretty busy. Pros: Knowledgeable and Professional Staff more

I was looking forward to my facial but was quite let down. I had a facial with Mimi and she really did not want to be bothered. In the actual 50 minutes she was in the room (for a 60 minute facial) she was more interested in washing the bowl three times or writing down a "prescription." She left the room for about 5 minutes to "get samples" and came back with two small packets. I will not be returning to this place. I have had a million times better facial at other places. Pros: decor Cons: facial and service more

Oasis spa is a very nice spa - good customer service, relaxing ambience and a comprehensive spa menu; unfortunately, the bikini wax I received was a disappointment. The staff who did my wax did not trim before waxing, which made the process quite painful (I have a relatively high endurance of pain, so I didn't complain at the time, but it definitely hurt more than my previous waxes at other salons), the remaining strip of hair wasn't shaped well and the wax was not completely removed afterwards. I might return to the spa for other services, but I am very hesitant to go back for another wax service. Pros: relaxing and clean spa, good customer service Cons: sloppy wax services more

I needed some serious pampering before my wedding. Had my pedicure, massage, facial done here. Was just what the doctor ordered! This is a clean, relaxing place with a friendly staff. Pros: clean, relaxing, staff Cons: can't come here every day! more
