  I'm surprised there are no reviews of Oshun given all the groupon and living social deals they've offered over the last few months.  I've been here for several services and been quite pleased with them.
  
  Our favourite (our = my husband and I) is Holly the RMT.  She is great.  Seriously.  At the end of 2010 we were trying to use up our extended health and happened to randomly stumble upon Holly.  Aside from her magic hands she is a real sweetheart who will go out of her way to make sure you are super duper relaxed and all massaged out.
  
  Yonette (one of the owners) applied some gorgeous mink eyelashes to my peepers for a wedding in September.  Since I sleep on my face, having semi-perm eyelash extensions isn't really a convenient way of life.  However, these were some serious lashes - I didn't even have to wear make-up when I went out because I looked so freakin' fabulous. (What more could you ask for when toting around an infant?)  They lasted 2 months with careful care, so if you were thinking about doing them and you don't sleep on your face - go for it.  I've heard of these bad boys running upwards of $300 so Oshun prices are actually quite reasonable for what they do.
  
  I had a facial with Pnina who was absolutely lovely. She told me that she's been in the biz for about my entire lifespan, so she knows what's what when it comes to skin. I walked out glowing and not the normal blotchy red that I do post-facial.  I also did not break out after my facial, which to me indicates that she was careful to not damage or irritate anything on my sensitive, acne prone skin.
  
  Although I go elsewhere for waxing (little India is just so cheap), and mani-pedis (those Russians do it for really cheap too) this is my go-to spot for spa services and massages.  Luckily, since they offer so many of those groupon deals I'll be able to afford facials, body salt scrubs, and other fun spa-ness for ages to come!

  I went there for the groupon deal, facial, salt body scrub, mani and pedi. I had a mixed impression, and I don't think the services justify the prices. The inside is fairly nice, wood and a bit Asian looking interior. The floor was not quite clean. They make the customers to change into slippers, but, dear reader, here it starts: the slippers end at size 7 and are fairly dirty. I am size 9.5 and my slipper ended in the middle of my heel. Tja. The body scrub is ok, I have experienced it as more relaxing (their salt is pretty rough). The real problem is with the massage table, which is pretty shaky, and with every movement of my beautician, the table moved here and there and I held on it for my dear life. (Not very relaxing) Soon, my neck started hurting. Outside were constantly loud voices of other beauty people. The facial itself was fine (no face massage, though), and I also got a wax, which was done well and quickly. (I give them that credit). The mani and pedi was ok, but I have had much better foot massage. I was there three hours and was offered no tea or water. if it were not for the groupon, my check (with tip and tax) would have been at 290$, and hence my summary: they are not worth it (def not without the groupon!!). And I was kind of really stressed out afterward.
