Urban Oasis Salon & Day Spa

Fantastic! I purchased their groupon for a facial and a massage. The facial was relaxing, but it was the massage that hit the spot! I was assigned to the owner and he has magic hands. It was actually reminiscent of the massage I got in Thailand. Aggressive, yet correct and had lasting positive effects. You kind of leave like whoa! But then that knot is gone and you’ve got more pep in your step.
The spa itself is cute! It’s located in a small house down by Lipscomb. They have a small retail space, chairs, and they offer wine, spritzers, or water. The staff was attentive and they shuttled me in as soon as they were ready. I was then given a robe, sandals, and a bag so I could move freely between the facial and the massage.
I’m so glad I tried it and I will absolutely be back!

I’ve been getting massages for 20 years and have been trying out different spas since I moved to Nashville four months ago. I came across a GroupOn for Urban Oasis for $ 115 for a choice of two services– one 60 minute massage, one 60 minute facial, or one seasonal hydrating body treatment. When I called to make my appointment, they didn’t have availability for a massage and facial, so I opted for the massage and hydrating body treatment. I assumed since the facial was a 60 minute treatment, that the body treatment would also be 60 minutes (in addition to the 60 minute massage). I was wrong. My total time was 60 minutes and almost half of that time was the scrub being applied. I am very disappointed in this also, because once I looked up the prices on their website, it appears that this service is $ 125, so I only saved $ 10 with the GroupOn. The facials are $ 80-​$ 130 so you get a much better deal if you do the massage and facial. I’m also disappointed in the massage overall. It was called Swedish, but it was more of a relaxation with very gentle touches, even after I asked for more pressure. The table was very uncomfortable and I actually left with a headache due to the painful headrest. I have a huge indentation in my forehead from it, as it was not padded well at all. I wish I had just gone back to Escape Day Spa.

I have tried and loved every therapist at urban and decided it made sense for my husband and I to just get the membership. The customer service is fantastic … They are flexible and kind. If you haven’t been … Go! Run don’t walk!

I just can’t say enough about this wonderful place! Lindyne is a wonderful massage therapist and Kacey offers an amazing facial that will leave your face squeaky clean and remove years from your appearance.
This was a perfect place for a girls day retreat!

I had the pleasure of coming in to this spa and getting pampered today, and I am so glad I did! I received a massage and a facial from a groupon deal. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful during every interaction I had with them. I left feeling so relaxed and refreshed after my services. They also have a monthly membership program that I am going to participate in as well! I would recommend this place to anyone and I am so happy that I found them!

Was in a desperate search for a last minute couples massage while I was on a trip to Nashville. The Urban Oasis staff managed to fit us in and we had the greatest experience. Very friendly and professional staff. I would highly recommend and hope to go back.

I was very unimpressed with this «spa» overall. I went in for a deep tissue beck and shoulder massage. Sadly, my massage therapist Kyle, while very sweet, didn’t seem to feel confident on how to do either a deep tissue or neck and sholder massage. I honestly felt like it was a massage from a student– in-​training and left quite disappointed. Additionally, I waited beyond my appointment to be seen, in a relatively empty salon. I would have to say pass on this spot if you are in search of anything more than a light, relaxation massage and are not to picky about technique.

Had a couples massage today based on a referral from a friend for Neille. Place was extremely convenient with plenty of parking. The mimosas were great start.
Eucalyptus oils, firm pressure with focus on my lower back. Neille was absolutely great. She worked hard on my back and we will definitely be back. It was 75 minutes of sheer pampering!
Thanks!!!

My fiancé and I had a couples massage and absolutely loved it! I’ve had several massages, but this was his first. I was extremely happy with my massage therapist Anna. She gave me plenty of relaxation while working out my problem areas. I’ll definitely be back in the future! Reasonably priced for a great experience!

I’ll start by saying that I have been to this spa many times and previously loved it. They are very friendly, the owner is fantastic and most of the staff are great. I would give them 5 stars. However, my last experience there was so terrible that I couldn’t bring myself to give them more than one star.
I had gotten a massage from Neille months ago and left pretty unhappy, but gave the place another chance. Not only was the massage mediocre, but she put a lot of massage oil directly into my hair when massaging my scalp and I left looking like a mess. I had a meeting right after and looked like I hadn’t washed my hair for a week.
I’ve had a few different therapists there since, and was happy with all of them. I had forgotten which therapist I was unhappy with originally, so accidentally ended up with an appointment with Neille again, and didn’t realize until I got there.
The one star is really not for the spa, but for the specific therapist. I have a neck injury that the spa was well aware of. Neille was also aware of it. I told her about it and she said she already read it in the computer system. She knew to be careful with my neck and only use light pressure. Like the first time, I didn’t enjoy the massage, and the exact same thing happened with the oil in my hair, but what really got me was how she completely disregarded my injury. At one point she started twisting my head, pulling on it harshly in weird directions. She wasn’t even gentle with it. Excuse me, but you are not a physical therapist or a sports medicine doctor — what are you doing?
The massage was even worse than the first one I had with her — I have had many massages and this one honestly felt like I was being massaged by someone who was completely untrained. My completely unqualified and untrained boyfriend gives better massages. That would have been relatively forgivable, but I couldn’t believe the aggressive neck pulling. I’m considering contacting the spa directly. Her lack of understanding about injuries and disregard for safety makes me concerned for others going there.
I recommend the spa itself — just make sure you don’t make an appointment with Neille.

I have been visiting Urban Oasis for over year. I see Leigh for waxing and eyelash tinting (on occasion). Leigh is wonderful– she listens to you about what you like in terms of brow shaping or bikini wax, and then implements it just right. I have never left unhappy with the services there. With the recent remodeling & expansion, the waiting area is very nice.

The WORST mani/​pedi experience I’ve ever had.
I hardly ever write reviews, but after this awful experience, I couldn’t bear the thought of not warning other customers. I believe the nail technician’s name was Kat– so if you have an option of who will be doing your nails, do NOT choose Kat!
To begin– I was the first appointment of the day at 9:30. I did not leave Urban Oasis until 12:15. Yes. That is TWO HOURS AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES to do a shellac mani & regular pedi. Even though I was the first appointment, she was unprepared, and I wasn’t even seated to begin until twenty minutes after my appointment was scheduled. Though waiting was far from the worst part. Throughout the entire duration of my manicure and pedicure, she complained about her former job, used inappropriate language, her voice got loud and exclamatory, and even after I closed my eyes she just kept going. Additionally, when I asked her to fix a part I wasn’t happy with, she got attitude and spoke to me rudely. Not only was it a horrible and ridiculously long experience to sit through, BUT the shellac manicure chipped after only three days! That has never happened to me, and I have been getting shellac manicures for years.
Bottom line– do NOT go here to get your nails done!!!

Come see Bethany for your nails! She gives me the best gel/​shellac manis and pedis I have ever had. Long lasting and affordable. Plus it is so clean with individual soak tubs and you get personalized attention. She is such a sweetheart I won’t go anywhere else for my nails.
Ive also gotten a few facials from Beth and they are so relaxing and my skin glows afterwards. This spa is quiet and cozy and offers everything. Can’t wait till my next visit :)

I REALLY like this place.
When my normal esthetician went out of the country without notifying me that my appointment would have to be moved, I decided I needed to try another place. This is SUPER convenient to 12S, where I live, and very cute on the inside. It looks tiny from the outside. There are few parking spaces but I never seem to have trouble finding a spot. Leigh is super friendly and puts your right at ease even if you are coming in for an emergency underarm/​bikini wax. ;)
I find them moderately priced and very efficient. I have now gone two times, both spur of the moment, and they squeezed me in. I am now going to try a microdermabrasion and facial. I am sure they will be great, but either way I will let you know!

Great experience, really enjoyed it. I went here for a spa day on my 40^th birthday and had a fantastic time. Best massage I’ve probably ever had and the woman who does henna there was incredibly nice and did a great job. I thought the facial was good, my skin felt great afterwards. I wasn’t totally sure about whether the mani/​pedi was worth it. No fantastic chair to get a water massage from BUT I really enjoyed talking with the person who does the mani/​pedis and both have lasted really well for more than a week, which is a record for me. Because of how they do the mani/​pedi, I felt really confident that it was clean and sanitary — different than going to a mani/​pedi mill though. Highly recommend.

I went once and will never go again. It was pleasant, but overpriced for what it is. It’s like someone’s house where you can buy nice spa type gifts. There are rooms where you can get various services.
I got my nails done and while the experience was pleasant enough. It was slightly strange. I sat on a couch and the nail girl sat crosslegged at my feed to do my pedicure. She was sweet and chatty. But the whole experience of getting my nails done this way was kind of strange.
She has since parted ways with Urban Oasis, so I don’t know what their new nail person is like.
Overall, I thought they were way overpriced for what they offer and I won’t be going back. For my money, I prefer to go to Escape Day Spa which is a real spa with a steam room.

Great Oasis Facial, Amazing!!! I never had a facial before, but this was a great one! Mani/​pedi was okay, it’s just like you would do at home with a bowl of warm water on the floor to soak your feet, the employee sits on the floor and you put your feet in her lap — it’s a little strange for me, I think I would prefer the cheap Asian place instead of this place for nails. They don’t have the massage chairs you sit on a couch during the pedi. And they don’t scrape your feet real well, nor give you a good foot/​calf massage. I’m giving a good score because of the weight I’m putting on the facial!

I love love LOVE this place. I have been here twice for a facial with Leigh and each time it was great. The second facial I had mistakenly booked on the incorrect day but they were kind enough to squeeze me in at the last minute. I was having some emergency breakout issues so I was extremely grateful for her flexibility. Perks of this spa:
–All natural Jan Marini Skincare products smell amazing
–Leigh is VERY thorough with extractions
–facials include a high frequency wand that zaps zits before they can ruin your week
–cozy and relaxing environment
–$ 65/​month membership option is a steal. This includes one facial or mani-​pedi plus discount on products
–book online option is super convenient
They have also just changed the layout of this place and it looks great! I would highly recommend a visit here for a quick facial pick-​me-​up or a break from a hectic week.

I first went to Urban Oasis because of an online deal — either Living Social or Groupon — but I keep going back because of the employees and their expertise. I’ve had massages, pedicures and bikini waxes here, and it’s always a treat. It’s a true spa experience, even though the space is tiny. (It can be difficult to park here off of Belmont Boulevard, but I’ve always found a spot either in front or behind the building — which might actually be off-​limits — by going on a lunch break or early Saturday morning.)
I almost don’t want people to know how fantastic Beth Tucker is; she’s the only one I’ll go to for waxes. They’re $ 40, which is pricier than some other places in town, but I pay for the spa experience — soft music, absolutely no rush, lemon or cucumber water and candles. It’s all so divine that there’s little pain felt. I’m allergic to aloe, which they added to my file, and she always remembers to use different lotions and soothing creams for me. She also doesn’t wax with paper, instead using a hardening wax that’s gentler on the skin.
I’ve shopped in the retail portion, too, for Voluspa candles. The retail prices are comparable to other spas when it comes to these in-​demand candles, which are also sold at Anthropologie in Green Hills. The women who work at the front desk are personable and friendly.
Both massages I’ve had here have been from Sith, who I think is the owner. The day before my wedding, two friends and I had massages here, and my friends said their masseuses were great, too.
This is a relaxing place, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. But if Beth ever moves to another salon, I’ll be following her there.

Overall, I definitely had a good experience at Urban Oasis. But I just wasn’t overly impressed. It’s a small and «quaint» atmosphere, which is fine, but I didn’t feel that level of luxury that I personally like in a spa. I did the 60-​minute massage, which I have no complaints about whatsoever. The staff there was really nice and and welcoming, too. I feel like calling it a «spa» is a bit of a stretch, but i know that this venue is actually fairly similar to other Nashville spas in terms of size and amenities. I would consider going again for a facial or other treatment, but I will likely seek out a more luxury, full-​service spa when I want to truly have a day of pampering.

I can only comment on the nail services. However I recently purchased a Sharing Spree for them and was surprised at home many different services they offer! I went for the shellac, and was super impressed at how fun and artistic all of her designs ate. And she is the only person I have been to that does a French manicure in shellac! Will be back for sure!

I treated myself to a massage from Sith after a particularly hellacious first semester of grad school. Although the locale is pretty unassuming, don’t be fooled: the skill of the people inside is incredible. I had decided to do the 75-​minute massage, because really once you’re up to 60 minutes, it’s only an extra $ 1 a minute to add on, and I’d bought a groupon voucher for part of the service. I have fibromyalgia and had told Sith as much, but that also means that I have a lot of scar tissue that needs to be worked through in between my muscles. He told me to let him know if I wanted more or less pressure at any point, and from there we moved forward through, frankly, a truly blissful and much needed pulling apart and working over of my limbs. It was absolutely everything I’d wanted.
I’ve also been in a couple of times to see Beth for waxing and eyelash tinting. I am blonde blonde blonde, and she is masterful with the dying. Though I’ve had this done before, when she does it, she is so careful and precise to get the dye down to the root of every lash that it lasts for at least a week or two longer than when I’ve had other people do it. The same thing goes for waxing – I never find stray hairs with her and she makes the process as quick and painless as possible, not to mention that she is just a great person to chat with.
I love that you can book online, and I occasionally get coupons or special offers in my email to use on future visits, which is great for those of us who can’t afford to get massages as often as we’d like. Plus, when you’re on your way out, you can sometimes grab a slice of brie or a cupcake, or look at the gorgeous jewelry and candles from local artists. I love that this is a place I can go for great service without pretense. That is truly an oasis.

They were very helpful to getting me a quick massage scheduled, and the receptionist was friendly. My massage was great (four stars) — the room was comfortable and the masseuse (?) was kind and took time to customize my massage. I’ve had lots of massages, and she was definitely very skilled.
The reason I just a 3 star rating is because I do think «A-​OK» is the best way to describe this place. The waiting area is packed full of local artist crafts & merchandise and I clutched my purse tightly to not knock over and break anything. While I waited for my appointment, the staff stood around and chatted about personal things in the lobby for at least 5 minutes before directing me to a seat where I could sit down. When spending money on spa services, I personally prefer to have a pampered, relaxing experience from walking in the shop to leaving (call my snobby).
This place is more of a great location place to go in and get quality spa services without the frills.

Found Urban Oasis through Groupon and so glad I did! I used my certificate towards a mani/​pedi and it was so wonderful and relaxing! Heidi is who I had and she did not rush the service and was so knowledgeable! My mom has been dealing with foot issues and she told me to tell her how to try and fix her issues! My feet have been hurting and she told me that I carry my stress in my feet and told me how to help remove the stress. No one has ever told me that in all my pedi’s I have had. She gave one mean foot massage! I could have sat there all afternoon and not to mention my tootsies and fingers look so pretty!
I totally felt relaxed and comfortable there. The storefront is so adorable. I love that they have a good selection of natural products! I can’t wait to go back and buy some items for Christmas presents! I had all I could do to not buy a bunch of things!

OUCH! OUCH! OUCHIE!
One may wonder how a review that starts off with such pain could result in a 5 star review?
Well, without getting too far into the nitty gritty… I decided that it was a swell idea to visit Urban Oasis Day Spa prior to my beach vacation so you can imagine what areas needed a visit from the wax-​master. Um, no further comment.
Skin Care Specialist Delishia Jones was not only super professional during a very «intimate» waxing procedure but literally made me laugh throughout the whole process which made slightly forget about INSANE pain that I was putting myself through all for the sake of vanity. Ah… the joys of being a girl. Seriously, I shudder at the thought of my next visit in a few weeks but wouldn’t consider seeing anyone else but her to rip the hair off my flesh. ($ 65)
She was efficient, explained each process, and answered all of my questions.
Regarding the spa, I have to admit that it’s not the most luxurious place that I have ever been to However, in the end doesn’t matter if the end results are as fabulous as they are.
They also offer bodywork, skincare, and nail care which I may check out in the near future!

The name could not be more fitting for Urban Oasis.
I recently made an appointment for my first visit to Urban Oasis for a one hour signature massage. This massage runs at $ 80.00 but I assure you, it is totally worth it!
The location is slightly difficult to find if you aren’t familiar with the area and their sign doesn’t light up but once you get there it truly is an irrelevant problem. The store front and massage rooms are decorated in soothing colors and made me feel incredibly relaxed and welcome. The owners Sith and Mary have carved a wonderful place for themselves in the Belmont area. Mary even has her own line of natural products for sale in the storefront among other candles and cosmetics that are locally produced.
From the moment I entered, Sith and Mary made me feel like an old friend. I had the privilege of receiving a massage from Sith, himself. His outgoing personality and attention to my level of comfort made this an overall wonderful experience. Sith has some definite skills when it comes to relieving shoulder and neck tension! Urban Oasis also offers a variety of other services such as spa manicures and pedicures, facials, scrubs, and waxing to name a few. They make it incredibly easy to relax and get the most out of your spa experience. I will most certainly be returning to Urban Oasis!
