After a day on the slopes, don’t you feel that you deserve some pampering? Well, if you’re like me, the answer is yes! And Ellicottville Oasis just might be the perfect place.
Opened in 2004 by Joanne Bennett Timkey, Ellicottville Oasis provides more than just massages. Since last year they have been offering their own line of skin care products.
“We work with a lab in Vancouver, Canada,” Timkey said. “They manufacture a fresh batch of product as we order it.”
Timkey has been in the field since 2002, graduating from Trocaire College in South Buffalo certified in massage therapy and Continental School of Beauty in West Seneca for esthetics. Since then, Timkey has worked at Earth Worn Body Company, Peak Performance and the St. Elmo Day Spa at the Chautauqua Institution until she opened Ellicottville Oasis at 23 Jefferson St., Ellicottville, N.Y.
Timkey is trained in a slew of different therapeutic remedies to relieve any stress life might throw at you, such as Therapeutic Massage, Deep Tissue/Sports Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Reiki, Reflexology, Chair Massage and several other modalities, Timkey said.
To give yourself that healthy-skin glow that might be fading from the winter weather, Timkey and her team can offer you a fix in many different ways, including facials (including peels, high performance facials and microdermabrasion), facial and body waxing, body sugaring (another form of hair removal), body wraps/treatments, body scrubs and makeup. Soon Timkey hopes to be offering semi-permanent eyelash extensions to her clients as soon as possible. So remember to be looking out for that new delight in the near future!
However, besides all the amazing specialty treatments Ellicottville Oasis offers, the most unique service they offer may just be their own line of skin care products. Taking many months to look at various different companies, Ellicottville Oasis finally found the one that suited all their needs.
“We’re so impressed with the quality of product, choices in packaging and the price point – which is very important to us – we wanted to offer quality products at a fair and reasonable price,” Timkey said.
The spa finally decided on the appropriate line for their clients and are now offering three eye creams, five masks, seven different cleansers, seven toners, several body moisturizers, hand cream, hand brightener, cuticle oil and travel kits all under their own line “Oasis”.
Many of the Oasis products are available in trial sizes for those who may just want to try them and see how it helps.
But, for those who find exactly what they need, Timkey does remind us that a little is all you need “the pricing is very reasonable and in line with most professionally recommended products … all products are VERY concentrated so only a small amount is needed to be effective, consequently our product goes a long way!” Timkey joked.
If you are a first timer and new to these types of tailor-made skin products, it’s a no-fear process! Ellicottville Oasis’s skincare professionals do a complete skincare analysis on each and every client to properly recommend the right skincare treatment to serve your unique skin type. The spa has already received great feedback about the products and are happy to see its growing success. These products are available at the spa, online or over the phone.
