| - First off this place is a dump!
secondly let me point out how there is no spa parking.. that's right, you only choice is to park in the parkade behind the spa and pay... Only 2 hour paid street parking, So you will be paying for parking in addition to your service...
Lets start at the beginning.. The guy who booked our treatments over the phone... Fantastic!
He said come early and enjoy our amenities and relax, when your done your treatments we have everything you need to fix yourself up for the day.
#1, The men's change room was under re no? It had half patch up walls, patched up shower stalls, and there was no shampoo anywhere to be found. The items they had to 'fix' myself up... Aqua Velvet, and Roberto Hair mouse... Honestly, am I 100 years old or in the early 80's?
#2 The waiting room, Gross, take a look at all the stained furniture. I ask what high end spa has not heard of a furniture steamer... Filthy!
#3 The library... They have old free hotel magazines, 'Where Edmonton", Oct/Nov 2010, Free Calgary Renovation Magazines, Dec2010 and the usual US Weekly and People, all well read from last year.
Now my treatments.
Men's Facial $108.00
#1 As soon as I crawled in to the cold bed under the duvet the esthetician came in and turned on the bright Magnifying light, pointed it at my face and left it on for over 45 mins.
#2 When I was put underneath the steamer she sat in the room for the 15 mins... what was she doing? Staring at me? My friend who had the treatment in another room said her girl massaged her arms while she steamed... Jealous!
#3 When she did extractions she did not use pads on my eyes or goggles. Just the brightest light (which was on the whole time) 6 inches from my eyes.. I'm lucky I'm not blind.
#4 I had a 5 o'clock shadow, at the start she toned my face but the cotton pad tore up in my facial hair, she never again did any work there, When I had my mask, she only applied it to my forehead, cheeks and nose.
#5 The towels she used to remove product from my face where luke warm, and if she wasn't using a towel she was using Kleenex, I have never had my face wiped with a scratchy tissue at a spa
When I was done I was sent back to the filthy furniture waiting area, I went to library again in hopes to find something to read... Nope!! Not unless I wanted to relive 2010.
Next service
Men's Manicure $44
#1 The esthetician was really nice, I went and sat down in an uncomfortable chair, unlike the nice massaging ones in the $20 places all around Calgary have, and had my nails did.
#2 She didn't clip them, they were long but she said she liked them that way..so she just filed them unevenly
Now I should mention that I usually do them myself because I don't trust that people won't nip my fingers or that the job will be done below average... Ive included photos so you can judge for yourself.
I should also mention that I am a hand model. I'm sure my clients would love to see these photos.
I can't imagine who thinks this place is not a dump... If you like a dirty spa experience, You have found your place.
If I were you, I'd head to Skoah,I know its in a mall and that's weird, but, the beds have heating pads and the facialists give you the whole rub down. Not to mention the spa is super clean... I love the products and you'll get a full mask application and warm towels when they remove it.
Sorry if someone has bought you a GC for Oasis.... Have fun
