I see I wasn't the only person to have a horrible experience at Oasis Day Spa. The day started when I was feeling in need of a long massage. I called where I normally go, and they were all booked so I called Oasis. I asked if there were any openings and the girl said yes, so I booked for a 90m. massage. They said all that was available was a man therapist and I was fine with that. I asked specifically about light pressure and they said that was fine. When I got there I started to fill out the information sheet. One of the questions was "What areas would you like avoided?" So I scratched out the word area and filled in the blank "too much pressure". When I was finished the therapist came out and got the sheet and was looking at it right in front of me in the waiting room. While reading it he pointed out that pressure wasn't an "area" in a rude way. I simply pointed out that I crossed out the word area, but that put us off to a rocky start. However I didn't know if I was being overly sensitive, so when he said we could go back I followed-mind you he was still reading the info sheet. When we got back to the room the clock was flashing 12:00 and the music wasn't playing. He first blamed the person before him for the music not playing then actually walked over to the cd player and started flipping through the cd case saying "What am I in the mood for?" I couldn't believe it, this was when I first started getting massages, but common sense says if the customer has to see you change the cd, then you should ask them what their in the mood for. Anyway I really wanted this massage so I was willing to let small stuff go. After the music was on and he left I got comfortable (this lasted only a brief while) and then HE returned. I noticed the light was still quite bright and I asked him if he could dim the light and he actually seemed to be irritated, that was when things snowballed. I was already uncomfortable that he had a negative attitude, but then was even more uneasy when he seemed to get irritated about the light; what did he want to see everything? He started to massage and when I said that the pressure was too much he tried to say that he does "deep tissue" massages and I said I asked specifically about light pressure AND wrote about it in my information sheet. He made excuses every chance he got. Along with that the soles of his shoes were hitting the hard wood floors and he was actually rolling a mint around in his mouth across his teeth. I was completely and utterly annoyed, uncomfortable, and weirded out. I told him to make it a half hour back massage and I got out of there as soon as I could. I was actually so uncomfortable that I asked the girl for my information sheet and asked her was anyone else working. She said no and I said her mother wouldn’t be happy is she knew her daughter was working all alone with a man like that. I left and called the next day. I told them what happened and the person told me to hold for the owner. I waited and waited and no one picked up. I called again and when girl picked up she said the owner Gogan was with another customer. I told her that was ridiculous and that I get massages once a week and will have to take my business elsewhere. Only did the girl set me up for a complementary 30 m. back massage. The next therapist was really nice, but I doubt she worked there for long. I have talked to other therapists that say they worked there and it was a very shady operation. I think the clocks are always unset, so people don’t know how long the massage was. Anyway never go here. I have ONLY heard bad things, and experienced bad things!
