(The rating isn't a mistake. This is bad at first, but read to the end.) My normal place closed down and it had been a while since I treated myself. I called to ask if this place was too busy to take a walk-in and they said no, so I ran right over. The outside of this place isn't very promising and I was a bit skeptical, but I went in. As soon as I walked in and filled out the service form, they escorted me to a chair and started soaking my feet. No one came to work on me. Several people came in and we're immediately started on, and I assumed they had appointments. 15 minutes passed and I was getting irritated, but mostly at myself for not making an appointment and for coming when I had limited time to spare. The manager, I guessed, came over to apologize for the wait and ask if I needed a drink of water. I said, chagrined, that I didn't think I was going to have time for this today and maybe I should come back another day. He apologized again and said not to worry, that someone would be with me soon and they would do my mani and pedi at the same time to get me out faster. He also asked if the foot bath was a good temperature and I said it had gotten a little cool, so he filled it himself with hot water. Very kind and thoughtful. I decided to wait. A full 30 minutes after I had walked in, a technician finally came over to work on me and, I must admit, I was quite frustrated by this time. Boy, am I glad I waited! She got to work so quickly and efficiently that my annoyance was soon assuaged. She was thorough, clearing the dead skin, callus, and cuticle from under my neglected toenails and repairing the ingrown areas more fully than any pedicurist I have ever been to. Despite the deep, almost pediatrist-like treatment, she was so gentle I was highly impressed. Another technician came to take care of my hands with the same gentle efficiency and thoughtfulness. They were as kind and helpful as they were capable. Though I know they rushed through my services because they knew of my limited time, I didn't feel at all rushed. I felt like they concentrated all the pampering I had ordered into the time allowed, skimping on nothing. Also, they did apologize for the wait, but didn't belabor it or self-efface to the point that I felt uncomfortable. I have definitely found my new regular nail salon and am already looking forward to my next pampering session at Oasis!
Tip: put your hair in a bun and wear a tank top! They massage your neck wonderfully using hot stones and you will want to get the full experience without worrying about oil getting in your hair or on your shirt, not to mention giving a full range of available skin for your technician to rub 😊 Read Less
