Being aware of our environment has always been very important to us.
Enough so that we wanted to incorporate it into our new name ecoblu
spa and salon (formerly Oasis Day Spa). From
our initial buildout to our ongoing operation, here are a few of the
things we can proudly say make us stewards for sustainability.

plant and flower-based ingredients

shelving and massage tables
