Hands down the best massage I've ever had. "Why?" you ask…read more Buckle up. I ran in FLUSTERED. I was running late from work. Lukkana greeted me and told me to catch my breath. She set me up with some calming tea and brought me to a private changing area with a locker for my belongings. Everyone in the vicinity checked in to make sure I was doing ok. I was worried that because I had arrived late, I would eat up some of my massage time. No siree! They moved my massage to start when I was ready to begin. I booked the 90 minute Nuansa classic massage. You know how some places start the clock before you've sat down and finish the massage early (aka you pay for an hour and it's only about 45 minutes)? Well! That's not the case here! I got all 90 minutes of my massage. The massage itself: not to be believed. Lukkana started by saying "time to relax". And boy did I. Let me tell you one thing about me - I have the most ticklish legs of anyone I've ever met. Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well! Somehow, Lukkana was able to work the muscles in my leg without triggering my dainty ticklish reflexes. I was astonished! Then, you know how sometimes you ask for a firm touch and you get jelly hands? Or the other way around and you're walking out with bruises? WELL - Lukkana made me feel immensely relaxed WHILE ALSO really working the tissue. What a novelty. She finished up with a scalp massage, which is truly the way to my heart. 11 out of 10. Would recommend. Thank you so much for making my day.

This is a nice spa, but not luxurious…read more The space was very clean and the staff was attentive. They have only one restroom in the women's locker room which can get chaotic if a few people are receiving services. The massages were very good. Overall a nice experience.

It was amazing! I did 90 minutes and it was worth every penny. But the way, save a little money and pay cash. My neck and shoulder that brought me in are feeling so much better! My lower back that's always angry has calmed down too. The combo of stretching and massage is perfection. I'd like to try a traditional Thai massage next time, but this was a great entry point. I kind of never want to have a different style massage ever again. Using your body weight and elbows/knees/feet instead of just hands is genius. The place is a tiny bit hard to find, so look for the big American flag and go in the door under it. It's an upscale building and spa. They don't have the spa amenities you might think of when I say upscale, but they are so good at what they do they don't need frills. Trust me, they will take care of you!

We called the spa on the way there, and they told us that we will be responsible for paying a no show fee of over $500. (A price double the amount of our selected treatments). The people manning the front desk were unapologetic about our emergency situation. Not only did we have to deal with the FDNY, a traffic situation which our car presented, angry commuters, and a hefty tow price, we were charged for a service that was not provided due to an emergency situation. The manager on duty, was much more professional than the initial associate who responded. While, we understand we were no shows, we were dealing with an unforseen situation. I am so disappointed at Oasis-we used to take our Mother there for many years. The lack of human understanding towards people who are literally dealing with an emergency is so disappointing after having been customers of Oasis for so many years.

Room was very comfortable and music softly playing in the background (review said that music was pumped/loud). She stated with a dry massage, with the blanket, and went into the official oil massage. Yuni definitely knows what she is doing because I didn't need to tell her about my problem spots she hit them right away! I was surprised at her strength and she literally almost had me so relaxed, I could have drooled while on the table. She did full back, legs, hips and arms. She didn't have me flip over but I got exactly what I needed so I felt no way about that. When she was done, she thanked me and I proceeded to get dressed and be on my way.

I'll give them an A for effort though although it looked nothing like the picture. The massage was amazing. She did a really great job. Most of my massages are pretty rough but she did a great job with light to medium pressure. I really liked the glass of champagne and the chocolate truffles.

Though I've had other people work on my facials, Shelly was always the best. Needless to say, I followed her when she started her own business. There are 2 rooms that are available when you make an appt. with Shelly and yes, it's part of the Pink Sands tanning salon on the 3rd floor. My preference is the small pink colored room as it feels more peaceful and serene than the other. Both are renovated and clean, but the other room just feels colder. Shelly does a really great job in making you feel comfortable and most importantly (for me, anyway), the extractions aren't as painful as they have been at other spas. The facial massages are fantastic so much so that I've fallen asleep several times. She also doesn't try to hard sell you on the products but will give you advice on your skin if you ask. If you're looking for a straight-forward experience with a friendly and knowledgeable person looking after your skin, then come to Shelly. It's been about 3+ years with her and would have no issue recommending her to my friends and family. Plus, you can't beat the value of the facial as it isn't overly expensive.

I went because word of mouth recommendations from friends are always the most reliable and I was not disappointed.

Lena has the unique ability to read deeply into each of her client's needs and then takes the time to carefully and specifically treat each person accordingly. In my experience, no facialist has ever put so much care into the attention they give and the service they provide as Lena. She is a true master and possesses the full package - kind and nurturing as well as knowledgeable and technically skilled. Her spa is intimate and relaxed and often transports me to another place. When I am there I am able to relax fully and it is such a gift. I can't recommend Maksim more highly. Take a chance if you have yet to go and you won't regret it.
