Epic Day Spa

I have been to Epic Day Spa for various services, always great! Today I had a massage by Amber. Best message ever! She made sure that I was comfortable and checked in periodically to make sure the pressure was ok. Six stars in my book!

Bought a spa package for my sister here. She was thrilled. Thoroughly enjoyed herself. She says we all need to go back. Rates were not unreasonable. So, I’m a fan. Hope to spoil myself next!

I had a 90 min massage from Amber here and it was delightful! My appointment was the first of the day and so I had the whole spa to myself. It was my first time here so I was shown around the beautiful spa. They have a women’s locker room with shower, steam room, lockers, Moroccan Oil products for your use, a waiting area with snacks coffee and tea, and very nice treatment rooms. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice massage.

I got my hair cut and colored by Danielle. She spent a lot of extra time getting the color just right which I appreciated. It was exactly what I wanted. She also did an amazing job with the cut. She was also very friendly– the whole place had a nice vibe. I walked out feeling like a million bucks. I will definitely be back for hair services and to try other services as well.

This is the best spa in the area by far. The sanctuary, steam room with twinkling stars and waterfall showers put me in heaven even before the service. On top of that they take great care in getting you the right kind of massage, facial, haircut, etc. that you want. Wish I could go here every day!

Epic is Epic! Brenna Murphy is a great stylist — an artist. The sanctuary is a great place to spend an hour or so unwinding. The steam room and rain showers are luxurious. Service is also top notch. The space is beautiful and clean! This is a great place to buy a gift certificate for someone you love!

Hair cuts are great. Color not so much.

The family and I– we love this place. Kaylee as a receptionist is amazing. She’s very kind, helpful, and never overbearing (you know some receptionists can overwhelm you with their happiness when you first walk into an establishment). I think she also worked at 101(my mom and step dad adore her)-she’s very very good. Some people are just fantastic as the face of an establishment, and she is. I do have to admit Kayla (the other receptionist) is not that great. Maybe she is just naturally not a people person-​but my mom, my partner and I all agreed she’s not that friendly-​in fact borderline rude. Maybe Kayla would be better suited not working with customers. I’ve had massages here-​both times absolutely amazing. I wish I could remember their names, but the masseuses were fantastic. Haven’t had anything else here but a massage, but I would suggest checking it out. The facility is lovely.

I’ve now come for two different services: haircut/​highlights/​lowlights and deep tissue massage. Both are a five-​star.
Miranda does a phenomenal job with hair. My hair is not all that easy to tame, and she made it look amazing! She both made suggestions AND listened to what I had to say – both important things. And she helped me find new products and a new straightening iron that were both effective and within my budget (didn’t have to buy the store).
I saw Amber for a massage last week for the first time, and I’ll be back. She was knowledgeable about the body, honed in on my problem areas, and made me feel amazing. After waking up with sciatic pain every night for a week, unable to sleep, she provided welcome relief!
Miranda and Amber. Definitely worth it.

I get a great cut from Miranda, and it’s always easy for me to make an appointment without calling too far in advance. The price is very reasonable compared to what I was used to paying for a cut.
I got an eyebrow wax once and they were pretty uneven so I won’t go back for a wax.

I emailed the owner directly to see if the response to my review was genuine. I explained some of my concerns and asked about improvements that might have been made. That was well over six months ago. No one responded to the email. Presumably, the nice post from the manager was just for the public reading Unilocal reviews. Bummer.
In the meantime, I have found a hairstylist, esthetician, and a massage therapist at the Retreat Day Spa. Each of them are fantastic. Unfortunately, there is nothing relaxing about the salon itself (too loud, bright, bustling) and the pedicures involve pretty weak massages (typical of Corvallis).
Epic has the right environment, the Retreat has the skill. Perhaps my screen name should be Goldie Locks.

my friend and I were thrilled to spend the afternoon at epic and had been looking forward to it for weeks. she drove down from salem for the appointment and we both arranged the afternoon off of work. unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we wound up 17 minutes late. we were told at check-​in that the spa would be unable to provide the initial services set for that time as it had other appointments to keep. we were disappointed of course but understood and continued the afternoon with our other treatments.
at the end of the day we checked out, and were billed for the services we had missed, about $ 85 in addition to the services we received (just shy of $ 250). we were initially confused, at whether this would provide a credit for future services. no. we were advised in no uncertain terms that it was a bill for time the providers could have set other clients and since we in essence wasted their time we would be billed for it. we mentioned our concern to the receptionist and management was suppose to follow up but never did. from a certain perspective this bill is understandable; however, we will not be returning to this spa. ever.

I went in hoping to get a pretty simple trim. I needed to turn my A-​line into a bob and thin out the layers a little. In my monthly emails from Epic I saw there was a special for a free conditioning treatment with a haircut — perfect! I didn’t necessarily need a conditioning treatment but I was confident that it could do no harm. I called to book my appointment and in speaking with the receptionist I called the special by name and then further specified by saying, «the haircut with the treatment». I was asked to arrive at 9:30 (my appointment was at 10).
When I arrived I was told I could go up to the sanctuary and prepare for my massage. Umm. When I said I didn’t book a massage, I had booked a hair appointment the first receptionist was immediately annoyed. She asked me several questions like had I been the one to book the appointment and what did I say exactly. Another receptionist came over and said I could get in at 10 for my appointment. I could either wait on the sofa or I could go run some errands. I had a few things to do around town so I went off to do them and arrived for the second time at 9:55. I was going to have to leave anyway to get more coins for the metered parking. I had only brought enough for an hour, and of course, I had already paid. I considered not even going back but I really needed my hair trimmed before our trip, the next day.
So, I arrived back and then waited for another half hour! Nobody even talked to me until 10:20 and I didn’t even get back with the stylist until 10:29. So to recap — my appointment was originally for 9:30 and an HOUR later at 10:29 I am finally being taken back to get my hair washed. Luckily, my husbands work is lenient and he was able to go in late. But I had to miss out on an extra hour I could have spent with my children.
The stylist was really bland and completely void of personality. She seemed terrified of my hair. The shampoo and condition was lacking a scalp massage and complimentary facial. The condition treatment was only 3 minutes sitting in a chair shoved up by the shampoo sinks. Then, the haircut. The stylist struggled to make conversation and although I described what I wanted, described what I didn’t like about my current style AND showed two pictures of what I wanted, I could tell the stylist was completely lost. She attempted conversation by asking me questions but couldn’t respond to what I was saying. When I asked her how she liked doing hair she said that she knew it was what she always wanted to do but it was just «so much harder than everyone thinks, a lot of math and science goes into it» and then continued to tell me how difficult it was.
The haircut was so blah, such a waste of time and money. I am going to have to get it redone. I specifically asked for the ends to be thinner and not as blunt (as well as showed two pictures of what I was describing). Nope, my ends are blunt.
As I was paying, I was given a small complimentary Moroccan oil bottle and instructed not to put too much on or else my hair will look horrendous and greasy. I asked what it was and she said, «oh well call it a treatment» um, okay. Also, the receptionist asked for a tip! I have never ever had anybody verbally ASK for a tip! I could not believe the audacity. When I got home, my husband asked if I had received a discount for the HOUR wait and although it had not occurred to me there, I was surprised that nothing was offered. Not even a backwards offer, like free paraffin dip with my next spa pedicure.
So to recap–
1.Really bad, tacky customer service. ASKING for a tip? Suggesting that it is the customers fault when the receptionist booked an appointment wrong? Not even speaking to me (offering water, anything more than bridal magazines, etc) for 20 minutes while I already had to leave and come back?!
2.Really bad stylist service. I really love spas and have been getting my hair cut exclusively at spas for the last 10 years, this is the first time I have had such a brief shampoo/​condition, conditioning treatment and no scalp massage and/​or facial.
This is my fault for not double checking as it honestly didn’t occur to me, but, also as I was paying I noticed the business cards sitting on the counter. The girl that cut my hair wasn’t even a stylist! She was only a cosmetologist!
I will never be back.

Epic day spa is a modern oasis in rustic Corvallis. I went to get my haircut by Brooke. She did a great job and was very sweet. The desk staff was efficient and helpful. I’m definitely planning on going back for more services.

Amazing!!! Giant waterfall showers, white robes, beautiful steam room, gorgeous sanctuary room! Got there right when they opened and spent all day there — they exceeded my expectations. Not only will I be coming back but I’ll be telling all my friends & family.

Epic Day Spa is fantastic! I am from Alaska and was extremely scared to have to find a new hair stylist. The front desk lady was extremely sweet and recommend Nicole to me. She was AMAZING! So sweet, welcoming and understanding. Not to mention a fantastic hair cut! Will be totally coming back!

It was my first time at Epic Day Spa and it was amazing !! I went for a basic Swedish massage. My masseuses name was Sarah and she did a wonderful job. The first time at Rpic Day Spa can be one to remember. They give you a complimentary pre-​massage package of using their sauna and sitting area, which normally costs just $ 20 (not a bad price). The spa opens at 930 so you can go and sit in the sauna and sanctuary area for as long as you like !! It is a very relaxing atmosphere and I have already booked my next appointment for April with my friend before attending a wedding ! They also offer other services like paraffin wax hands and feet for $ 10, hot stone etc. the basic Swedish massage only cost 77 and I paid a total of $ 92 (so a 20% tip). I may have to go back and start getting my hair cut there as well. :)

The staff here is excellent.
Look, I’m a short haired dude. It really *shouldn’t* take too much work to get my hair looking presentable at work. For the first two years I came to town however, it was next to impossible. One barber forgot to shave *one* side burn. Another left a lot of hair spilling over an ear. Yet another cut it so short I felt like I was ready to storm normandy.
Enter Miranda. She’s young. She’s funny, she’s personable, and even more importantly? She knows how to cut my hair. Quick Simple, and easily. When we move away from Corvallis, I’m going to miss getting my haircut here.
As for other services, They’ve got a full spa. It’s fancy. While I’m not one to partake, I did a number on my back, and found Heron available for a massage. She was as good as Miranda was, only well, she didn’t cut my hair; she simply beat a knot out of my back that I couldn’t get rid of for over a week. While expensive, I felt my massage was well worth it, to the point that I’m sorta hoping I tweak my back again.
The *only* downside? I’m not a big fan of their chosen product selection; but admittedly, it’s completely subjective. That said, If you like pureology, you’ve found yourself a 5 star salon in Cow-​town Oregon!

I called Epic to see about scheduling something for the day of New Years Eve… I wanted the works (a massage, facial, mani, & hair) and I was really nervous they wouldn’t be able to get me in on such short notice (just like everywhere else I had called prior). The receptionist answered my call with a smile and seemed very happy to accomodate my last minute requests. She got me scheduled for a full morning at their facility no problem. The next day they called me to remind me of my appointments and I was very appreciative of that.
I showed up fairly early for my appointment and after they greeted me at the door they wasted no time getting me set up. The adorable receptionist led me through the locker room for a quick tour so there was no confusion as to where I needed to be (it’s actually a very large facility). I was assigned a locker with my robe and slippers. After I changed, I took a second to check out the Sauna which was BEAUTIFUL. So relaxing and serene with water dripping all around me. After this I went up the stairs to a quiet but giant room they call the sanctuary. Lots of comfy seating options and a table filled with complimentary water and teas and a few small, healthy snacks. Water features all around and sheer drapes that made you feel completely at peace… and I hadn’t even had anything done yet! This is where you wait for them to call you back for your appointments.
Half-​way through my facial I realized I had forgotten to add more money to my parking meter. The esthetician was more than happy to buzz the front desk and have them put some quarters in the meter for me, no problem.
The rest of my experience at Epic was just as amazing. Everyone was so friendly. Unfortunately I don’t remember the names of the wonderful ladies that worked on me but I have a feeling that no matter who you go with here, your end result will be positively breath-​taking.
*Side note– they have plenty of spa packages, but I found that for me it was a tad bit cheaper to ‘build’ my own package. Their website is super easy to navigate and all the prices are laid out in front of you.

I LOVE this spa! The space is so beautiful! I have only had pedicures at the spa, but if i ever need any other service, i would trust them to do an amazing job on them!
Both pedicures i have had here have been just what i needed! They are a little spendy, but they take almost an hour, so it’s worth it! The couches you sit in to get your feet and calves rubbed, scrubbed, smoothed, & renewed are soooo comfy. It makes relaxing easy.
The staff is nice, efficient, & skilled. I send everyone i know to over to Epic.
