What our clients Say
Friendly professional staff eager to please and pamper you. The shampooing of my hair was an indulgence in and of itself. I had my hair styled & make up done for an event. The young woman trainee already has a high level skill with the artistry of makeup. I left the salon looking & feeling beautiful. I recieved compliments on my styling & appearance. THANKS URBAN OASIS SALON. Hope to see you again soon.
Jenna Rosa
This was a phenomenal experience. I had my own private room, and a team working around me. I really got the royal treatment. Urban Oasis is very professional and even called me to follow up if I was still happy with the result. They have above and beyond service. Highly recommend Urban Oasis.
