The 60-minute session was fantastic, and you have the option to request a male or female masseur. Make sure to clearly communicate your preferred pressure level right at the start so your therapist can tailor the experience perfectly to your needs. While I was totally fine with the pressure I received, communicating your preference will ensure you get the exact experience you want. I definitely left feeling completely relaxed and ready for bed. To help you know exactly what you are paying for ahead of time, here is a look at their menu in the photos! I would definitely recommend Tao Massage and I will certainly be going back!

My mom, aunt, and I called ahead to book 75-minute massages on a Saturday. Since Oasis Massage is a…read moresmaller spa, they can accommodate about four massages at a time, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. When you arrive, you'll fill out a form indicating the type of massage and your preferred pressure. I requested medium pressure, which was just right for me. They also offer complimentary bottled water, and there's one restroom located in the back. They prefer cash payments for tips, so it's a good idea to bring some cash with you. The massage therapists did a great job working out all the knots. My aunt and I were a little sore afterward because our backs needed so much attention, but we both felt much better the next day. My mom loved her massage so much that she's already talking about going back! Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Oasis Massage if you're looking for a relaxing, effective massage.

I've consistently had a great experience and am already looking forward to my next massage. Highly recommend!

I had heard so good things about this place so I called on a whim yesterday when I was feeling…read morestressed & got a 1 hour massage w "C C" . ( price is very fair 80$ an hour- there is a 4% surcharge to use cards, so bring cash to save & don't forget to tip I asked for a NMT ( Neuromuscular Therapy massage ) which is stronger than most - and CC didn't disappoint! I was surprised at how strong she was . CC used her arms as well as hands for a deep soothing , almost stretching at times massage . She even pulled my fingers and I felt them pop ! That was so relaxing! This neck thing she did by pulling upward was also amazing ! As someone else has mentioned - English isn't the first language here so there are menus on the wall when you walk in - you point at the amount of time you want , the different types of massage ( Swedish , hot stone etc ) be sure you are clear . There is a clock that has a timer in your room - and you do get the ENTIRE hour! (Most places give you 45 min .) if you want lavender or coconut oil it's an extra 10$ ( I am not big on scents so didn't add this ) It was honestly the best massage I've had in Birmingham! CC is amazing ! And there is a system to how she worked ( I tried to point out my shoulders hold most tension & not sure she understood completely- but she covered EVERYTHING! She used a warm oil at one time and even took care to make sure my hair was covered w a towel ) They have a massage here I've never seen offered elsewhere in Bham -where they walk on your back ! ( I noticed the bars over the table where they hold on as they do this I think a lot of men must like this. ) . I didn't want that because I'm a 63-year-old woman. I would definitely use CC again. ) I cant recommend this place highly enough- BUT you need to be very clear about what you want -because as I said, English is not their first language . Someone left a bad review and mentioned that it looked dirty. (?) and not fancy enough compared to a Bham spa -I can tell you they don't spend their money on fancy furniture , but it is in a nice part of town. ( Vestavia ) i prefer to spend my $ on the actual massage as I have had some very bad massages at some very " fancy " spas and hotels . The entire placd was clean & simple . They had a hygienic face cover in place for me to place my face on.- the room is dark and calming w zen music I saw someone said they didn't think these people were LMT but of course they are licensed I didn't have to look at the degree to tell CC had been trained as a LMT . I have had friends that visited here & recommended to me & Im so grateful. There's not much talking during the massage but I could tell she was reacting to my sounds or if I moved ( etc ) if I said " that feels nice ", it was a strongest massage I have ever had from a woman , but she didn't hurt me I asked for your "Neuromuscular Therapy Massage" ( NMT )which is much stronger than a Swedish . I have never had a better massage ! I will be coming back here regularly. They're a wonderful place and no , they're not "fancy "if you want to pay $100 extra to go to a spa - you do you ! I have been getting massages in Birmingham for the last 20 years and I can tell you this is by far the best massage I've ever gotten . I look forward to trying the hot stone, Swedish & a foot massage soon! It's very easy to find and parking is simple - I called and asked for a massage at 2 pm - I wasn't asked to to fill out a bunch of forms and I was taken straight back.
