Oasis Beauty

After a very long week, I felt the best way to cheer myself up is to go to a Spa. Of course. Who doesn’t :)
1* For the response time: It’s Wednesday night and I browsing on my phone, in my bed, for a spa close from where I live and with treatment at a reasonable price. That’s when I remember a poster I saw along the Luas line advertising a new Spa in Smithfield. I check on facebook, here they are !
10.15pm: I decide to enquire about body wraps 10.30pm: I get a response that they do provide this treatment
10.45pm: I have an appointment for Thursday evening at 6pm
11pm: I fall asleep, content
1* For the reception area: As soon as I entered the Spa I felt overwhelmed by peace. The place is quiet and warm. Perfect combination. The beauty therapist is waiting for me to fill in some health related details — compulsory before starting any treatment. They even offer me some water without me asking.
1* For the changing room: The therapist shows me the locker I am going to use and explains what I need to do. The room is not very big but it has a locker with 8 section, for 8 clients at the same time. Each locker has a cosy bathrobe, some biodegradable underwear and slippers. There is also a chair in the room.
1* For the beauty room: When I am ready changing, the therapist shows me the way to the beauty room. The place is new and clear and well presented. The therapist explains the procedure for the treatment and then leaves the room while I slip under the towel on the beauty bed. There are plenty of little lights on the ceiling. I prefer to think of them as stars, that’s the romantic me talking.
1* For the treatment: The first part is scrubing. I am on my back. Every limb is scrubbed thoroughly. I really appreciated that the therapist took the time to uncover every part one at a time. She even took special care to hide my chest with a smaller towel so that we could scrub my stomach without reveiling anything else. Then I turned over and again she scrubbed. Once this was done, I was invited to go in the shower area (in the room of course) and rince off all the product. There was a hand towel to help me, a bath towel waiting for me after the shower and an extra pair of underwear. She paid special attention to clean my feet before anything so I would slide on the floor. The rest of the treatment was smooth. I was covered in a very moisturising cream/​mask which was applying with a relaxing massage. I was finally wrapped in a warm blanket over the towel. While I was ‘cooking’ the therapist gave me a scalp massage, which she had asked me permission for earlier in the procedure. Simply amazing.
1* For the timing: 75 minutes of pure heaven.
1* For the overall experience: I am so happy of how it all went. I left definitely relaxed and happy. I promised myself to go back very soon !
I highly recommend this place. Feel free to contact me should you have questions or comment and I will get back to you asap. Enjoy :)
