This salon is amazing! As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed, and was offered something to drink. The nail technicians are so friendly and talented at what they do. I just moved here from Arizona, and always had issues finding a good nail salon out there. This was the first nail salon in MO that I came to and i'm so happy to say I have found my permanent go-to for all of my services. Jason did an amazing job at this new set and the details on the accent finger are phenomenal! This is definitely my favorite set of acrylics I have ever gotten and i'm looking forward to coming back in a couple of weeks for my fill. I recommend everyone to come here you will NOT be disappointed! Amazing work, thanks again Jason!

My fill!

I love it here! My nails are great and the staff are so friendly. 10/10 recommend! Definitely will be coming back here. I love the chrome.

I have gone to pretty much every nail salon in St. Louis it seems like. The luxurious ones, the hole in the wall ones and everything in between- I will literally never go anywhere else in St Louis now that I go to August 1st. I have had acrylics on for nearly 15 years and hands down, this is the best salon to get your nails done no matter what you're looking for. Jason, the owner, does my nails- and he is friendly, professional and genuinely amazing at what he does. Every time I come in to get my nails done he exceeds my expectations and then some. I have never EVER had an issue with cracks, breakage etc. I am being 100% genuine when I say this is the only spot I will go. Thank you Jason and family for all of the times you've made my nails amazing!!

Jason did a great job on my nails. It looks beautiful. What a great salon! Nicely decorated and clean. They are attentive when working on your nails and they wore mask. I feel very safe. Definitely recommend this nail salon.

Sloppy

This is the second time I've gone to this shop. The first time was fantastic!! Ask for Jason. My second visit, not that great. The tech was on her phone watching Make up videos didn't seem to care at all that there was a customer sitting right in front of her. The experience was rushed and poorly executed

YIkes- super sloppy pedicure :(

I am giving this place 1 star for the mani/pedi I just received as the people are very friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. My mani/pedi was very rushed and the paint job was that of a 5 year old unfortunately. I could have done a better job myself. I don't think she filed my nails either or cut them at all. The woman who serviced me was very nice but I"m super disappointed to spend 40$ on a really sloppy job. I'm not sure where all these good reviews are coming from or if I just happened to go to late in the day.

I love my nails so much. Beautiful nail art.

Absolutely LOVE this place. I get a fabulous care every time I come here. I have the mani and pedi. As always, my nails look awesome and pretty. The lady who helped me shaped my nails beautifully. That makes my nails look longer, and more define. It is absolutely amazing. They have a variety of nail color selection. I mean huge collection. What I love is the fact that they do have color chart so you can easily decide what color you like the best. The interior is beautiful and luxurious. Decor is inviting and pretty. You can tell they really take care of their place. Staffs are super nice, friendly and provide exceptional GREAT service. They appreciate long term relationship with customers and that is a plus.

The inside of August 1st, at the front door facing in. Nice decor, not too cheap. Pedicure chairs are behind the purple wall dividers.

My mother and I came here on a Sunday for pedicures. Glad we called ahead - they had appointments for the next 2 hours after I called. Overall, good pedicures, but nothing above and beyond other similar nail salons I've been to. Be sure to ask for a menu for pedicure options before you sit down, to make sure you're on the same page about services and cost. I don't think everything on the menu for our service (an August 1st Pedicure aka Signature Pedicure) was actually performed (e.g., hot oil, sea salt scrub, cooling mask), but still decent. $45/person for that service. Their hours seem a bit confusing, so again, call ahead. Their door says 9:30am - 7pm on Mondays through Saturdays, but nothing listed for Sunday hours. Again, we got our pedicures on a Sunday, so they're open, but I'm not sure what the range of hours are. Facebook, Yelp, and Google hours listed aren't consistent. One con: the ladies doing the pedicures asked what I would consider personal questions when making small talk. Are you married? How long? Do you have any kids? WHY NOT? Where are you from? No, really, where are you from? (I'm not white or black, so they assumed I wasn't American.) ONE MAJOR PRO: The music. Man, I was jamming. 80's, baby. They said it was a Pandora station (input: "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton). I'd come back, if only for the music.

Everyone was super nice and my dip nails look great. Very pretty salon too. But.... My big toes were not painted well. I could have done a better job :-/ My cuticles were not cut and I did not get a massage after my dip manicure. :-( I didn't realize my toes were not painted well until after I left. Someone should have looked at them before I left to be sure they were dry and painted well.

I have a shellac manicure every two weeks, and after having my haircut at the salon next door I gave this place a shot. When I walked in the salon seemed nice and they had a variety of color choices available in the gel polish. The actual manicure is what I was so unimpressed with. The worst I've ever had. My nails looked better before having them done today. The shaping was off. I wish she would have just left them alone. The paint is the worst. They already look a week grown out from how far away she painted from the cuticles. After going to my car and looking in the light she missed half the nail on one in particular and I reluctantly went back inside to see if she could touch up. Possibly I had an inexperienced tech, but I would never recommend this place.

This is a little nail salon on Long Road in the Chesterfield Valley in a small strip mall. In case you were wondering, the name is significant in that this was the day they opened in 2011. The owner(didn't catch his name) was very friendly and accommodating, greeting us as soon as we walked in. First impression: adorable purple and silver decor with a definite divide between manicures and pedicures stations of hanging beads and Bindhi looking silver stencil work on the walls. Cute! The shellac manicure I got looks very nice and I had a good selection and brands of shellac to choose from. The paraffin dip and neck rub were nice touches. Although they seemed a little under-staffed for a Saturday they got me in and out in under an hour. If I am out this way again I will definitely stop back in. This salon is a good distance from my home though.

I normally expect to pay $75 to $90 per hour with an additional $40 to $50 tip. That's what top places expect. I've been a customer of Soothing Oasis for a few months now. In my opinion, this place is a best kept secret. The price per hour is unheard of these days and their best therapist, Vicky, is on par with the very best in the business. This is a "clean" business in every way so don't expect locked doors and dark rooms. It's a place where professional men and women can feel safe and comfortable. Point is, this is not a Rub Maps type of spa. Expect employees to come in and out of the room with fresh towels, etc. as they often work as a team and they use correct sheet and towel placement for modest folks like me. I noticed one person complained that the session door is left open just a crack. Well yes. That's for everyone's safety and it's a tell tale sign of a legit place! If you want one the best massage experiences in St Louis metro, Soothing Oasis is your place. It also just happens to have the best massage therapist in the country... Vicky.

I had an incredible experience at Rainforest Head Spa. The atmosphere was serene and instantly…read morerelaxing. The massage chair and head massage felt amazing, and my scalp has never felt so clean. The products they used smelled and felt luxurious, and my hair was noticeably softer afterward. The massage lasted a generous amount of time, and the facial left my skin glowing. Jena, one of the owners, went above and beyond at the end of my visit. She took extra time to teach me how to enhance my natural waves and shared so much helpful information. You can tell she's genuinely passionate about what she does. The complimentary scrunchie & hair products were such a sweet touch! My only wish is that they were closer (it's about a 40-minute drive for me) and open on Sundays. If they had a location in Clayton or Richmond Heights, I'd be there every month. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing, rejuvenating experience.

(Spoiler alert: it was worth the wait) I had a hectic, rainy morning but Hannah took such good care of me. She went over the scanning of my scalp and was so detailed. I was mentally still in a frenzy when she was asking initial questions that I couldn't answer but pointed things out she noticed through the scan that she thought would be best to focus on. Very quiet and serene space. There was only a curtain separating the other room where someone else was getting serviced so not completely private. It made me feel bad for talking when I was answering questions. I'm sorry to the other client! What tripped me up was that not only is it a head spa, but what you lay on doubles as a back massager and arm/leg compression. It was good at first and then became overwhelming but Hannah turned it down per my request. I also got a mini facial! I did doze off and jolted awake when she put I think serum on my face like OH I'm still here HA! It was that relaxing. I did buy some product for shine and sun/heat protectant which was their best seller recent restocked for $40. As soon as she had me smell it I, again, was like, IMMEDIATELY YES. TAKE MY MONEY! She put my hair in a little braid wet since it's better for the product if it air dries verses blow dries, there were little chocolates and water bottles as well as mini samples to choose from. The girls there were so sweet. If any of my bachelorette plans fall through I told her I would book here instead hahah Good thing to note: use the handle at the top of the door to open lol I will be back!

Soon as you pull into the strip mall, it's tucked into a corner next to the Veterinarian office. Upon entry, the place was really clean, but not alot of furniture or decor so don't be alarmed, you are in the right place. What was great was that we had just called 45 min earlier and they had no problem taking us. We signed up for the couple's massage and our room was ready upon arrival. Private room with 2 tables next to each other. We got settled in and the masseurs were ready about 15 min later. I tell you what, that massage was great! They did a wonderful job with the level of pressure applied and definitely did not rush through the process. Very nice ladies! Our total, $115 for 2 people at 60 min!!! Wow!!! What a deal!!

So I ventured in, albeit with reservations. The foot massage was really nice but the room was noisy and every time I got relaxed there was a noise to unsettle my nerves. My masseuse was Linda, who did a great body massage. I prefer deep tissue and couldn't fathom how such a tiny woman would be capable of inflicting pain. To my surprise she was able to "man handle" me with ease. She was literally on her hands and knees on top of me with her elbows in my back. It was wonderful in summary and I plan to return very soon. I now highly recommend this place. The only reason for the 3 stars instead of 4 is because of the noise level during the foot massage. Hopefully they figure out how to fix that problem.

Definitely going back for more! Red light therapy isn't for me, though. It's like a suntan bed and I am claustrophobic, so not a good match. The spa is sparkling clean and lovely. Worth the 40 minute drive from my house.

Totally dissatisfied with this experience, proceed with caution!…read more My boyfriend and I visited Woodhouse for the first time and each received two services each. I booked us each a 50-minute Swedish Body Balance Massage and a 50-minute WH Signature Classic HydraFacial expecting a relaxing, luxurious experience. Unfortunately, it was anything but. We arrived more than 30 minutes early being that it was our first visit, and the front desk staff felt a bit unwelcoming and dismissive right off. We were briefly shown the locker rooms and changed into robes. It was a little off-putting having to choose to change in either the shower area on the wet floor, or next to the toilet. My boyfriend and I met back in the "quiet room" where we were asked to fill out more paperwork. It's a bit annoying to have to fill out the same paperwork that we filled out online before our visit. The quiet room I might add was very crowded and not so quiet. There were several people on their phones, FaceTiming, most were not even trying to keep quiet. Moving on, our first service was the Hydrafacial. The Classic was supposed to be 50 minutes, but I looked at the clock on the Hydrafacial machine when the aesthetician began and when it ended, and it was 35 minutes. In addition, at least 5 of those minutes was spent under the red-light device. Online it doesn't specify that a red light would be used unless booking the 80-minute Deluxe Hydrafacial. To me, it's a copout to stick someone under the red light device for a shorter service, and would have liked more time actually getting the facial I'm paying for. I have a red light mask at home, so for me this was not needed. Next up were our massages and I'm being nice by saying they were underwhelming. Both my and my boyfriend's unfriendly therapists asked us separately (we did NOT get a couples massage) to choose an aromatherapy oil. We chose one, but I did NOT book us for Aromatherapy massages, so I was a little confused. In hindsight I should have spoken up, but I thought this "came with" the Body Balance massage. I did say at the start however, that I did NOT want any upgrades or add-ons and that I wanted exactly the services I booked. Onto the lackluster massage where I specifically mentioned to focus on my lower back, but at least 5 minutes was spent "working a knot" out of my shoulder which I didn't feel I had. It felt rushed and mechanical, not customized or attentive. To make matters worse, the treatment rooms were surprisingly noisy. The entire time both my boyfriend and I heard people filling what sounded like ice buckets, and he heard someone keep saying "cleaning crew" or something similar during his massage. Far from the serene environment I expected. And lastly, like the facial, it concluded in well under 50 minutes. The therapist walked me back to the quiet room and asked if I wanted anything to drink like a mimosa, and I said yes thank you, that'd be nice. She never returned with that drink. At the conclusion of our afternoon, we changed and went to check out. Expecting to pay $800 for our four services, we were charged $830 ($15 for each of us for aromatherapy). Sigh. I pointed this out to the front desk worker and said that we did NOT ask for any upgrades. I pulled up my account which showed where I did not choose aromatherapy. I stated that I was clear about not wanting any upgrades. Same with my boyfriend. He did not agree to anything besides what we booked online. The worker stated she could not remove the $30 charge, but that the owner could call me the following week to discuss. I'm still waiting to receive that call. Overall $30 is not a lot compared to what we paid for the other services, but I feel this is an extremely sneaky and unprofessional tactic to nickel and dime customers. Overall, this spa charges luxury prices but delivers a very average experience. There are plenty of other places that offer better service, more attentive staff, and far better value. I've frequented the Four Seasons many times, and if it weren't for their spa being closed for renovations, I would have gone there. I won't be returning to Woodhouse and will give my business back to the Four Seasons once they reopen.
