I look for someone…read morewhose style aligns with mine, someone who can provide the perfect pressure to relieve knots and tension while still creating a relaxing experience. I've found exactly that every time I visit both locations. At the first location, I saw Jack, he is awesome and wonderful. Then I met Wendi, who is also great. And last but not least, my current go-to therapist, Allen--he is absolutely amazing. I go to Allen when I want firm pressure without feeling like I'm in pain. Not to take away from the other therapists, they were all excellent but Allen is perfectly aligned with what I need. I see Allen at least 2-3 times a month, and the consistency in quality is unmatched. The space is always super clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The staff at the front desk (owners or team members) are incredibly accommodating, kind, and pleasant every single visit. If you're looking for a place that delivers both results and relaxation, this is

I got the full body salt scrub and exfoliation for one hour and 30 minutes of a foot massage. I feel brand new! The vibe is calm and relaxing. I felt like a queen coming here. The front desk person was so kind and helpful explaining to me the services. The person that massaged me was also very kind and clear. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again to get all my skin exfoliated. You might get grossed out with the sensation of all the skin on you. The aftermath was pretty gnarly lol, but now I'm soft!

Great looking location on the inside but the stench of cigarette smoke ruined the experience…read more Aside from that the male messeuse was sloppy in his work. I've had a lot of Asian massages (and massages in general) and the staff esp the men are always careful about covering your privates and making sure areas are covered with the sheet before moving on to the next body part. This was not the case with this employee. It was almost as if he was in a rush or couldn't be bothered. At one point the bottom half of my butt was exposed and I believe he was scolded by the female masseuse who was massaging my sister bc he immediately covered me after she spoke to him. It was also distracting that he was texting while working and I could feel the phone vibrating with incoming messages for the first 10-15 mins of the massage. If you're looking for someone more professional and less lazy/sloppy with covering up your body parts go with a female or try another spa. This was a big turn off for me and I would not schedule with him, if at all at this spa.

My coworker and I had an hour and a half to spare for an event…read more We didn't want to do a reflexology massage or other massages around Chinatown because our hair will look like a hot mess. So glad to be able to found DOVERA on the Internet and saw they had a 30 minute package that worked in our favor on time and traffic. Even though it was only 30 minutes, it was what we needed to destress and refreshing up at the same time.. Their prices are more reasonable and I really appreciate that 30 minute session they offer when you're on a time crunch. I was gifted to get my first head spa that opened out in Katy 2 years ago that was an hour long and the session didn't have me wanting to come back compared to my experience with Dovera. My experience for the 30 minute you are in your clothes and be prepared. Your clothes may get wet but nothing a blow dryer can't fix. My coworker and I enjoyed the herbal tea solution they rinse your hair with and we have grown to enjoy their herbal scents. The staff had such delicate hands, ahh just writing this I can still remember the feeling of the session. We did go when it was still new, but I still have it on my list to come back for the one hour session.

After a long flight, I was trying to find a massage place in Chinatown and came across this through…read moreyelp. They had affordable pricing with great reviews so that's why I ultimately chose this place. I asked for the foot and back for 1hr for $50. They were able to see me right away. I also did see that they have certain specials on certain days and I would consider that a steal. I had a female massage therapist, and she was able to get all the knots in my foot and my shoulders. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage, lol but the stretching part was kind of insane, I've never been stretched like a pretzel before. I feel like I would've been ok without it though. All in all, place was easy to find (2nd floor) staff was friendly!

I don't recommend this place you'll be way better going on Groupon and you'll save so much more money

This has become our regular spot for weekend morning massages, followed by lunch nearby around…read moreChinatown. Note that Oasis has two locations which are related (I think?), but have different phone numbers and certain massage therapists work at one or the other. It's always super easy to schedule a same-day (or same-morning) appointment by calling. They can usually get you in ASAP, and once you show up, you are ushered to your room right away. Parking is always questionable since it's located in Dun Huang Plaza, but if you come early enough in the morning, parking has never been an issue. I have seen Mike the past couple of visits and my partner regularly goes to see Alan. Both are super solid and we've never had an issue scheduling with them. I prefer my massages DEEP, and Mike does go really deep. To the point I question whether I need to warn him not to push any further or else he might break my back... They have very clean restrooms and complimentary water for guests. Couches in the waiting area are super comfy if you do end up having to wait for a bit.

There is usually a clear difference between budget massage places and high end spas, yet somehow…read moreOasis II feels like a blend of both. Despite being overshadowed by its much larger sister location in the same plaza (#1), this has become my go-to place for all things massage. Don't let the smallish lobby fool you, Oasis II is larger than it appears. There are a number of individual and group rooms of varying sizes, all of which are clean and smell great. They're dimly lit and private enough to conceal the outside noise. It is quiet enough to feel like a true oasis. The male and female masseuses here all specialize in different styles, from deep tissue to aromatherapy. 1 hour regular body massage runs about $65, where as a foot massage is $40. There are specific tiers that include only shoulder / neck / back ($40-70) or even head massage ($40) or hot stone massage ($75). I personally prefer their Oasis special of 30 minutes of feet and another 1 hour of body massage for $90. I'm on my feet often, so foot massages are favorite thing to get. I often require someone who knows how to manipulate large feet where in the perfect balance between pain and pleasure, and usually that person is an older Chinese man with bear paws for hands. There's usually a head and shoulder massage that accompanies this, so it is the best overall combo. When he's done, I feel like I'm floating and light on my toes. For the occasions where it is my back, I prefer back walking. This is not exclusive to Thai massage, but is widely practiced in Chinese style massages. Not every massage place will have bars on the ceiling, but they have specialized rooms where where folks can do this on their own or in couples fashion. I enjoy the pressure and appreciate any pops in the process. They're very professional and do an excellent job every time. English is not necessarily universal, but make your preferences known at the counter so that they can communicate with the staff if necessary. The customer service may not appear to be warm, but it's effective. They do such a good job with answering the phones, scheduling the appointments, and executing in a way that is consistent that I have found very little room for error. It is my sanctuary at Dun Huang Plaza and deserving of this milestone review. (#2) __________ (#1) Oasis No.1: https://www.yelp.com/biz/oasis-massage-salon-houston (#2) Here's looking at you, #5100

We decided to treat ourselves to a relaxing day with my cousins and booked massages together…read more My massage therapist was great, though based on my cousins' feedback, a few of the female therapists were a bit hit-or-miss. Pricing felt fairly reasonable for the length of the massage sessions we received. The establishment itself was clean, but it was somewhat noisy due to its close proximity to a busy street like Bellaire, which slightly took away from the relaxation factor. After we finished and went to pay, I noticed a $5 surcharge for card payments. I'm not sure what the charge was for, but I do wish it had been disclosed more clearly upfront. Overall, a decent spot for massages with fair pricing--just a few transparency and noise-related improvements would elevate the experience.

I had a strange experience at Soul Inn during my recent visit. The guy who gave me my massage,…read moreKevin, was trying to upsell additional services while I was on the table. It felt really odd. While I was face down, he mentioned something about 10 minutes. I couldn't fully understand because I was relaxed and dozing off, and because of the language barrier. I initially thought he was just letting me know how much time I had remaining, which is unusual because massage therapists typically don't provide time updates during the session. Then he told me it would cost an extra $10 for another 10 minutes. That's when I realized he wasn't informing me about the time; he was trying to sell me more service while I was half asleep. This made me uncomfortable since I had clearly communicated what service I wanted beforehand. Why wake me up to pitch an upsell? This was my second visit; the first time, I had a pleasant experience with a female therapist who gave me a great massage, which is why I returned. After my strange encounter with Kevin, I shared my experience with my friend who recommended the place. She told me that during her last visit, she had him as well, and he tried to upsell her during her massage too, making her feel uncomfortable. My friend has been going there for over a year and has never had an issue with the other therapists, so this was a new and unusual experience for both of us. I'm glad she clarified that this wasn't the norm for the business and the other therapists did not have this practice. However, the whole ordeal left me with an unpleasant feeling, and I'm now hesitant to return, especially when there are other massage businesses in the area that offer a peaceful setting without the pressure to purchase additional services WHILE half asleep during a massage.

I've always paid for a massage after services but whatever. I undress, lay on the table, she comes in asking "back and body"? No, I said sinus but you can also do neck and shoulders . She does neck and shoulders about(with no lotion or anything) 15min then tells me to turn over. Asks me again what I asked for, I repeat sinus. She starts patting my face clearly not knowing what the hell. I ask, do you know what a sinus massage is? She replies "no, I no speaky english". I said no mam in 2022 we are not doing that. If you didn't know what a sinus massage was you should've told me no and not taken my money. She offers to refund half of the payment. So now I still have a throbbing sinus with no time to search for another place to go to or to go walk in at Nava De Massage which is a million times better but not convenient for my location
