Oasis Day Spa

My fiancé buys me gift cards to get a massage here on holidays and birthdays. The staff that does the massages are great people who are very nice. I have asked him not to purchase a gift card from here any longer due to the lack of availability to get a massage on the weekend. You have to book it over a month in advance. The front desk staff is not usually very warm either. There is one girl who is lovely, and two older women who are not. They never acknowledge you when entering the spa and are typically very cold. The customer service is not what I would expect from a place like this.

I went to Oasis today because my boyfriend bought me the retreat package for a Christmas gift. I had a facial with Whitney which was amazing, a massage with Tia which was equally as amazing and also a mani/​pedi. My mani was with Karen who was incredibly friendly. Overall the staff is wonderful and the whole experience is perfect. So worth the money.

I have to say I’m impressed! I’m always hesitant to get my nails done often because it’s a lot of money to get a manicure that seems to chip so easily! I just recently moved near Oasis and it was recommended to me by a friend, so I figured I’d check it out. Walking in, it was a beautiful atmosphere. Very relaxing. Not too loud. Very clean! 3 things I love about nail salons! I was escorted upstairs to the nail salon. I got the Pear pedicure first — not totally what I expected but it was ok. I’d probably try a different one next time. It wasn’t what the description described at all, but still relaxing and it came out perfect. I also got a gel manicure after and honestly it was hands down the best manicure Ive ever had! My appointment was on Oct 22 and even over two weeks later, not ONE SINGLE CHIP! That never happens. And I’m aggressive in my day to day activities! I had Amanda doing my nails. She was incredible! She is so sweet and it’s obvious that she truly cares about her work. She took her time and was very aware of everything she was doing. We had lovely conversations but nothing too excessive so I still could relax a bunch. I highly recommend her and Oasis day spa for anything you may need!!! I cannot wait to get back in there for more!

Prior to my bridal shower this weekend, I had a spa manicure & pedicure with Karen and enjoyed every moment! Karen is warm, kind, and funny — and when you’re walking into an appointment that’s going to last for a good two hours, you want to feel comfortable with the person helping you.
Beyond providing me with a comfortable experience, Karen is as professional as it gets. I was her last appointment of the day on a Saturday and she did not miss a beat when I poked my head back into the spa after heading to my car and realizing that the base coat we used didn’t agree with my manicure. Without hesitation, she re-​polished my nails using a different base coat and I left with perfect nails for my shower! I so appreciate her taking the time to help me out as the spa was closing. There is most definitely a reason her schedule is booked so far in advance — if you can grab an appointment with her, do it!

Went here for a mini facial (30min for $ 55) and had a mixed experience. When I walked in, I was not greeted. There were several people standing around the desk where two girls were working. I had to basically shout that I was checking in. I waited 5 mins or so then the esthetican finally came out. She took me to the room and told me to put on a robe. I put it on and waited for at least 5 more mins for her to come back. She was very nice and did a very good job, but overall it felt rushed. I checked the clock at the end and I am pretty sure it was less than 30 mins… :/​PS. I deducted a star thanks to the business owner’s lack of care/​rude msg.

I’d give 5 stars if the front desk staff was not so «snobby» and «cold». They act like they are on Rodeo Drive or Newbury St… I feel like I am interrupting THEM and doing them a favor, instead of the staff waiting on ME. (Time to have a word with the front desk crew)
Everyone else that I have ever dealt with has been fantastic ONCE you pass the front desk ! Relaxing and love everyone in the Back.
My husband likes to buy me Gift Certificates there. It’s great to always know that I have a day to pamper myself. I’ll be in shortly for another big day. Can’t wait.

If you’re looking for a fantastic spa experience on the south shore, go to oasis. The atmosphere is pleasing and the space is clean. The staff is nice. I’ve been twice now. Today I got a massage with Joy. It may just be the best massage I’ve ever gotten. She was gentle and knowledgeable. I had a few issues going on and Joy knew potential causes and made recommendations on how to correct it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to go here.

I decided to treat myself with a retreat package. I was impressed that they were able to squeeze me in with 2 days notice.
When I arrived at Oasis I was greeted warmly by Maureen. She was very hospitable and friendly. I was immediately put at ease with her personality.
Started with Amanda for a pedicure and manicure. Both services were amazing! She was so easy to talk to and very meticulous with what she was doing. My manicure is still looking fresh with no chips 5 days later! My pedicure relaxed me and the massage was great. The only annoyance was the chair I was sitting in kept stopping after a few minuted of massaging I had to keep pressing the button for massage. Otherwise the «retreat» started off great!
I had lunch nothing to write home about I picked a Greek salad. They order from a deli in the area. One thing to note the Greek salad has eggs! Never had eggs in my Greek salad I was ok with it but it should be noted on the menu. My daughter is allergic to eggs so I am more vigilant of dishes that do not note these things.
On to my facial with Lauren. She was very nice and I felt relaxed with the services. Although I have to admit I’ve had better facials. Nothing against Lauren but she did not really advise me on my problem areas or really look at my face before she started. I am used to facials were the aesthetician looked at my face and said I need moisture here and I will be using this treatment on your face. Her massage was great and I was fully relaxed at the end of the treatment.
This is when things got strange. I was so relaxed ready for my massage ! Lauren informed me they were a bit behind schedule but please enjoy the tea and grab a magazine! I sat in the waiting area for a full 45 minutes with no acknowledgement or status of when I would be seen. I was no longer relaxed and after 30 mins just wanted my massage and to leave. I understand if things are behind but waiting 45 mins is ridiculous especially 45 mins of sitting there wondering if they forgot about me since no one even looked at me! Finally Joy comes to get me and I noticed she had just walked in and I saw her when I first arrived so she may have taken a late break at my expense. She took me in the room no apology for the wait and asked me my concerns. She was nice and it was a great massage. She also noticed a lot of problem areas. When finished I came out of the room she said bye. I changed went downstairs and she was no where to be found. Again I am accustomed to a glass of water and the therapist asking me how I felt and how the massage was. None of that. I grabbed my own water paid and left. Again joy did give a great massage and talked about my problem areas but it just started and ended on a bad note.
All services were good but the 45 min wait with no explanation or apology left a sour taste. The wait completely took the relaxation mode out of me! lam on the fence about returning there are plenty of spas out there that can give you 4 – 5 star treatment

I had a facial and a massage recently. I almost never get to do things like this, and this was a Christmas gift from my husband, so this was a special get away for me.
This was a mixed bag experience for me. Let me get the great stuff out first. Both of the service providers were EXCELLENT and next time I go I’m going to ask for the same people (of course I forgot to make note of their names! I think the massage therapist was Laura?)
Now for the not so great stuff.
When I first entered, there were two women seated at the desk and two standing on each end. They were involved in a non-​work related chat and barely acknowledged me when I walked in. Totally unprofessional and kind of rude. Not a great first impression.
Then, when I went in to have my facial done and was left alone to get onto the table, I threw back the covers to find a used washcloth in the bed and a wet spot (water or something clear) at the bottom on the sheet where my toes ended up. I decided not to mention it at the time because I was SO determined to have a relaxing, no-​stress experience. So I threw the washcloth on the floor in the corner and positioned my foot so it wouldn’t feel the wet spot on the sheet.
Also, the room was right near the area where the mani/​pedis were happening, and the whole time I could hear loud cackling and chatting. Made for a difficult relaxation experience. The staff and other guests should be made aware of things like this.
The technician mentioned that she had listed a suggested face cream in my appointment, which I figured I’d follow up about.
When I went to the front desk to wrap up, I again felt like I was interrupting social hour to pay and leave. The desk staff was kind of cold — not what I’d expect at a place like this. And interestingly, no one mentioned the face cream the facial technician had suggested. Shouldn’t they have a system where the suggestions get brought up during check-​out? If nothing else, it’s a poor business plan. If they had mentioned it, I likely would’ve purchased it. But since they didn’t mention it, and I had forgotten about it by then, they missed the sale.
I would definitely go again, but for the money I expect a slightly higher level of service and professionalism.

Great service. A bit on the pricier side, but it’s clean and services are worth it.

Love this place!!! It’s CLEAN, professional, and extremely relaxing!

We had a bachelorette get together here. We planned everything a little last minute so our appointments were all scattered but that’s ok! I’m glad Oasis helped make it work. Some of us had massages, facials, body wrap or pedicures. Everyone loved their services.
My sister and I both had the sea salt pedicure. It is a little pricey (since there are so many nail salons in and about the S. Shore) but it was nice. No complaints. The ladies who took care of us was professional. The staff at the front desk was also nice as well. We were all over the place trying to pay or tip and it didn’t phase them.

I wish I could leave a poor review, if only to ensure I can continue to get appointments easily! But alas, I would be remiss if I did not give credit to the very knowledgeable and talented massage therapist, Joy.
I had been to Oasis once before, a couples massage which was relaxing and pleasant. They have a nice private room for it, with a bathroom. If you are looking for a relaxing massage, this was great.
This massage was different though, from the start Joy listened to my physical problems and addressed them so well. She explained reasons for my various issues as she did the massage, worked on them with stretching and pressure, and also gave practical advice for working on them independently, after the massage.
Honestly it was not the most relaxing experience ever, but I feel much much better physically, which to me is more important given I have real problems. I would liken if more to going to a homeopath or a sports massage therapist willing to spend a full hour working on me, which to me, is a much rare thing. Anyone can put on relaxing music and make you feel relaxed on a warm table, but to actually pinpoint and address real problems, is a different thing entirely and Joy is such a rarity.
Also a professional point, she did not push me in any way to make an appointment, she didn’t have to, I hadn’t planned on it when I went in but I went out and did it immediately, and made one for my boyfriend too, I felt so much better.
I docked a star because of the front desk and hospitality. I don’t understand why transactions take so long there but despite having two people there, there was always a line. I decided not to bother waiting and sat down. It took 10 minutes for them to deal with 4 people, and no one checked in with me at that time, I had to go up and do it. When I was leaving after making appointments, I turned around to ask a question and the person behind the counter was already texting. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I feel like if customers are present, that’s just not ok.
Oh and the styrofoam cup/​paper cone water thing, not my favorite. for the high end prices, actual bottles of water would be nice, or even fruit infused water. It’s pretty and delicious, and gives front desk something to do other than text!
Those things are small though, compared to how impressed I was with the massage and Joy’s professionalism! Thank you Joy, you’re great!

Oh how I love this place. I used to go here regularly but recently moved out of state. I was in MA this month and stopped by for the retreat package. It was just what I needed-​the massage was wonderful. My facial was also fantastic-​I have been to many places to get a brow wax before and this is the best place by far. I also got one of the best pedicures I have ever had-​the tech did a meticulous job. I highly recommend Oasis-​a very relaxing, enjoyable experience.

I recently booked 2 1 hour appts, 1 for me the other for my grandaughter. We were seated 15 minutes late and the girl who was doing my pedicure began soon after. Thegirl doing my grandaughter’s sinally showed up half hour late (both girls were pleasant and did a nice job on toenails) they finished approximately 10 minutes before our tine was up (after beginning late) and we were told we had to get out of the chairs and wait in the waiting area to dry as they have to get ready for the next client. The front desk did reduce my grandaughters t/​2 hour cgarge of $ 30.for about 20 minutes of service. I paid full amount for an hour which I was treated for a little over ½hour. I did not complain so not the fault of front desk that no adjustment made. There was more but this is getting too long. Bottom line I would not recommend.

The gem of Oasis Day Spa is Kathleen, the massage therapist. I have used several services at Oasis and massage with Kathleen is by far my favorite and the best in quality, in my opinion. She is a very gifted therapist with not only tremendous technical knowledge about the body’s muscular system, but also an intuitive and friendly approach in which she’s able to customize each client’s experience to what their body needs. I always leave her sessions feeling «healed», relaxed, and much more aware of what my body needs and how to prevent muscle strain through my job and day to day usage of my body.
I give the salon 3 stars because of what previous reviewers have also mentioned — some of the staff needs to be more aware of their level of professionalism when either a) behind the front desk, or b) providing a pedicure. Clients do not want to hear personal conversations among the staff. it is distracting during what clients value as part of their salon «escape» time. There are also some employees who use alot of sarcastic humor with clients, which, depending on the client, can be annoying and uncomfortable. I think salon service providers should take cue from the clients as to how much or what types of conversations are ok to engage in during a service. sometimes people just want an hour of quiet.
The pedicures themselves are enjoyable and I think appropriately priced, the salon should just be more aware of the impression employees are creating with clients with catty, sarcastic, and unprofessional conversations during treatment.

I recently had a facial here after reading the rave reviews. I checked out the website and was pleased to see that I could make an appointment right on the site. I love that! I could even choose who I wanted my service with. Since I had never been there, I just chose someone who was available which happened to be Laurie.
I arrived at the spa and had no problem finding a parking spot right out front. When I walked in it really had that «spa» feel to it which I feel a lot of the «spas» in the area fall short on. I only had to wait about 5 minutes in the tranquil (I love that word, it should be used more often) waiting area for Laurie to come to get me.
She brought me back through a hallway to private rooms and talked to me about my concerns/​what I was hoping to get out of the facial. I had originally booked the «Joe Schmo facial» as I like to call it but Laurie suggested doing a $ 5.00 upgrade to the seaweed facial based on what I said my needs/​wants were. I happily obliged.
The room/​atmosphere was very relaxing. The lighting and music were perfect. I felt that Laurie really made the most out of my 60 minutes and I was extremely happy with my facial. She even sent me home with some of the left over facial products that she didn’t have to fully use.
I will definitely be coming back here and would recommend Oasis and Laurie.

Oasis is WONDERFUL…
Throughout the years I have had many massages with Jen, facials with Jen Magnussen, brows, etc. and they have all been yummy and relaxing and all that. This particular review however is for my wedding makeup with Eileen:
She did such a marvelous job it was outrageous! She was a soothing and calming person to be with on such a big day and both my sister and my makeup was totally fabulous. I wanted a glam style with a sophisticated cat eye, false lashes, the whole bit. Eileen nailed it. My makeup was classic and glamorous, while still looking somewhat natural– not overwhelming in the least. She is a delight. I wish I had to get my makeup done more often because I would go back.
Oasis is such a sweet little spot in a cool old building, I would highly recommend any service there.

I used to love oasis a long time ago… before kids! Now I have time again. I found a very generous gift certificate today that went by the wayside. Called to make an appt & «the manager» wold not honor it because the date was 7 years old. She was unpleasant & unwilling to even let me pay the difference in any fees. Not good business. I’m sad that I used to go there & love it. Now I have a family member that gave the spa a couple hundred dollars just to be rude to me! Not even worth the one star:(

I’ve been here a handful of times for eyebrow waxes, which are awesome because they don’t use strips and they put on hydro-​cortisone afterwards so no redness or breakouts.
However, the girls at the front desk are AWFUL! This is a supposed to be an upscale day spa where people go to feel relaxed. Customers DO NOT want to hear all of your personal drama while we’re waiting for our services. Stupid young girls have no idea how to behave in a nice place. Management should really train their staff better or hire more mature people. It’s VERY inappropriate and a definite turn off.
