Oasis Beauty Retreat

Located where Fremont Av. crosses Huntington Dr. Newly opened Oasis Beauty Retreat offers full service spa treatment close to home and at a affordable price. Services include Aromatherapy, Nails, Facial, Hair Styling, Cutting, Coloring, Waxing, and Massage Therapy. Pedicures are taken in a lushly appointed chair which gives you a massage. And you feet soak in a porceline tub with whirlpool jets. The staff are attentive and skilled in all phases of spa treatment. The interior of Oasis is quite stylish and is punctuated by beautiful orchid arrangements. Even with just one or two services stress and tightness melt away. And what would have taken a long drive and a whole day, just took a few hours time.

PROS: Friendly, courteous staff. Close to home. Affordable prices. Top notch service.
CONS: You can't take it home with you. Shame! Shame!

Mani-and-pedi were fine, but facial was not a good experience. Instead of letting me relax in quiet, every few minutes I'd be prompted to agree "feels good, yes?" Plus a lot of hard sell for extras, which I now admit I caved on just to silence the esthetician. They added a load to the tab. Also, the mild-electrical impulse machine used over my skin is, I skeptically suspect, a load of another kind. At the end, I had to bat away all the pricey product pushed on me.

PROS: clean, pleasant space
CONS: pushy, pricey
