    If you're a first time client or even a regular client returning after a long time beware. First, I would like to say as an eyebrow artist the senior esthetician is great, she does a good job and is very personable so this review doesn't reflect the actual service but the spa. I have been going to The W Spa whenever I am in town since it was originally called The Waxing Studio, so we'll over 10 years. I am currently home and needed a waxing service so I booked my appointment. When I called to make my appointment, never once was I informed that I was being booked with a senior esthetician. Being booked with the senior esthetician means there is a price difference for brows, which should be communicated to the customer. Had I known I would've asked for someone else due to the price difference ($35 vs $28). I booked an eyebrow and a Brazilian which I've been having done for awhile. Brazilian is normally everything but for some reason they only do the front and charge you an extra $15 for the back, which is ridiculous for 4 strips of wax. Also, I've been having a Brazilian for well over 10 years and this is the first place I've been to that charges you for the back which is actually supposed to be part of a Brazilian wax. So I'm in the middle of my wax and she stopped the Brazilian after only doing the front area, when I inquired about the back she's like "oh that's an Australian". In my head I'm like wtf is an Australian but whatever I finished the wax (no mention of the price difference). After my appointment I googled what an Australian wax is and lone behold it doesn't exist. If you see the photo I included, a Brazilian is front and back. This "Australian" is a bs excuse for them to charge you extra money. Now mind you I have been living in California for four years...my esthetician charges $55 for a Brazilian, which includes front and back as it should and then $30 for a new brow and $25 for a touch up. When I went to check out, I expressed my displeasure and the person at the front desk didn't do anything in an attempt to make it right. So not only was I charged $35 for an eyebrow, I was also charged an extra $15 for an Australian. So what normally would be an $80 appointment suddenly turned into a $113 appointment. OH and the kicker is they're still using talc powder (aka baby powder) for the Brazilian/Bikini/Australian waxes despite the fact that it's known to cause cervical cancer. This is also something in the years I've been waxed that I have never had an esthetician do. They really need to look at how they do their waxing process because using talc powder is outdated. So if you've made it this far great, hopefully this makes you question if you want a service from them. I certainly won't be going back, they over charge and there is no customer service experience. There was nothing about this experience that made me want to come back or recommend them to a person I know. Shame too because they used to be a great place to go.

    To start the receptionist was so incredibly friendly. She addressed all of my questions over the phone, greeted me walking in, and printed the brochure for me to take home (which I asked for). The second you step into the spa you get the instant sense of calming...between the scents, scenery, and music. The spa is incredible clean. The table was warmed to make the massage more comfortable. They used numerous hot towels and essential oils throughout the massage. My masseuse was Amanda. She saw that I signed up for a deep tissue massage and she made sure I knew what I signed up for lol. It was an intense massage for sure but it was oh so worth it. I already feel so much better. I also did an add on... The scalp massage. Don't miss out...it was so worth it. Best way to explain it...Tingle inspiring for sure. I came here because my normal masseuse cancelled last minute. The W spa was able to get me in next day and I called at 7pm. Kudos to their great service! I will definitely come back and I would recommend Amanda for a massage!

    My sister and I went for our first ever facials on Wednesday to The W. Being "newbies" and not knowing what to expect we were pleasantly surprised! We both got the 60 minute "luxury" facial at $95 (a little expensive plus you have to add a cash tip, but worth it!) done by Brittany and MaryKate. All the products are organic and you definitely get what you pay for. They take the time to ask you what you want out of the facial, relaxation/ pigment problems/ acne etc. you fill out some paper work and they customize the facial to your skin. Again I don't know if this is typical, forgive me! Anyways.....My skin legit felt like butter after and I felt like a puddle of mush from being so relaxed! I wasn't super impressed with the outside presentation and the sign could use some work ( I missed the entrance and had to turn around). I was also told my skin was dry and I need to moisturize more, so they showed me some products that might work. The same ones used on me during the facial, but at $78 For an itty bitty bottle I had to decline! Overall it was a great experience staff was friendly and welcoming. I noticed a lot of people coming to get their brows done while I was waiting and again when I was leaving. Maybe that will be my next visit!

    Best my brows have ever looked. So glad I found this place!

I wanted to reschedule with her next, but our schedules just didn't align, so I have been seeing Jenna ever since. I love seeing her! She's always upbeat and friendly and always makes sure I'm happy with my brows before I leave. The ladies who check me in and out are also always friendly.

    As a longtime European Wax Center customer, it's time to look elsewhere. I've been a member at this…read morelocation since 2017, and the service and EWC products overall have gone down substantially--to the point I attended the Main Street location for services (ultimately the same). I just waited 15 minutes for a service (eyebrows) that takes the same amount of time. While I'm appreciative of the $10 credit towards products after inquiring at 3pm why I'm still waiting when my appointment was at 2:45pm, the end result is no longer worth the investment. I only had one service left (today) on my wax pass and will go to a technician who specializes in eyebrows. What I got today was wasn't bad but meh. One significant difference I've noticed over the years is how quickly hair grows back (for eyebrows and south of the border). With a company that's releasing 50 different "slow growth" products under the sun, this makes sense to keep customers coming back for waxes and products to reduce growth. (Not seeing the result you want? Buy more products.) Kudos to those who do see results, but I've body washed and polished. Hasn't worked for me, and one of the products might've caused a rash. The *biggest* issue I have with EWC as a whole is that, for south of the border waxes, waxers don't get all of the hair which requires you to come back in for a touch-up appointment. (If you didn't know, you have five-ish days to rebook an appointment for missed hair at no cost. Not sure how or if this is advertised. I only found out last year.) And I'm not talking about someone popping in with hair as thick as a hedges. Without fail, there's almost always a small section that was missed or not thoroughly waxed I find when I get home. (I've had different EWC waxers at different locations. No one gave me a mirror to inspect.) It happened last month at this location and previously at the Main Street location before that. Having to schedule touch-ups after waxing gets annoying. There's a limited window to do so, and if the service did what it needed to do in the first place, we could all save time wasted redoing the entire appointment. *Another* issue I have is that waxers have but so many times they can wax an area. So if they wax your leg, and after the number EWC says is the limit, you have to come back for a touch-up. One waxer at this location last year tried to *tweeze* remaining hair on my cooch before she told me about the touch-up appointments. There wasn't a chance in this world I was sitting through that! My hair (*with* "slow growth" products) almost always grows back less than a week after my wax. What's funny is I started purchasing an at-home wax kit two months ago to give myself a south of the border wax. Not only did it last longer than EWC, but it was a third of the price. Also echoing another review of how rushed waxers get. Speaking to some waxers, their schedules are packed, which means stronger chances to wax off something by mistake or not do the best job. The turnover at EWC is WILD! There was a time not too long ago when the person I saw was gone, so I got someone else. That someone else left (for whatever reason), so there was someone else. Not the same as it used to be, so it's time to move on.

    One of the best spas that I've been too. I love the close convenient location! The waiting room is…read moresmall but the ambiance is calming and very nice when you're inside. I've been here twice. My first visit was better than the second but I still love this place and highly recommend it. My first visit was better as I purchase a complete spa package with a massage, make up application, light refreshments, etc. It was amazing!!! For today's visit I just chose a 30 minute deep tissue massage. I was slightly disappointed as I was actually booked for an hour massage (I know, I shouldn't be complaining!) but it was more than I had planned to spend and therefore I was not prepared with a better tip for my massage therapist. I wish I was aware of that prior to going into the session. The receptionist was not very friendly and spoke softly so she was hard to understand. It may have been her first day because she was working with another person, but I feel that she could have verified what my appointment was so that I could have confirmed prior to me getting the hour massage and thereby having to pay for the full service. Nevertheless, I was still satisfied with my service. I had Linda as my massage therapist. Initially I was worried because I'm about 5'10" and she is about 5' and I was wondering if she would be able to use enough pressure but she did not disappoint!!! Lol she was awesome and I feel so great! I would recommend her for sure. Overall Kona Oasis is a beautiful spa and I would love to come back for more services. If you're looking to treat yourself, be sure to get a full package!!
