Came here for a pedicure with my wife today and were very pleased with the experience…read more Tranquil is located right off Orange circle, with plenty of parking around the area. We called ahead and were promptly seated when we arrived. The staff were all super friendly, and paid an incredible amount of attention to detail on our pedicures. The price for everything we received was very very reasonable, and I appreciated that they took card and allowed us to add tip via card as well. My wife and I both left feeling very relaxed and our feet feeling brand new, and can't wait to make a trip back soon. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area and need a pedicure, it's absolutely worth it!

The spa is super elegant and everything you'd want and expect from this beautiful area of the Orange Circle. They are located on Chapman by Filo, one of our favorite little dessert spots. Lina was professional; offered great service with a smile, and with exceptional value. I will definitely be back for a mani pedi in a few days when I can squeeze it in my packed schedule. Thank you Lina for a great experience on my first visit!!

I was in town and needed my nails done at the last minute, so I picked this salon because it had…read morealmost 5 stars and a ton of positive reviews. After my appointment, I went back and read the negative reviews, and honestly, those matched my experience much more closely. The first red flag was that I walked in to ask about pricing, then left to think about it, and one of the employees actually came out into the parking lot to convince me to come back. That immediately felt off. The second red flag was that I asked for almond-shaped acrylics, and the technician immediately started putting tips on without ever asking what length I wanted. He just assumed I wanted them short. By that point I was already committed, so I just went with it. As the service went on, I also noticed the salon wasn't as clean as I would expect. There were leftover decorations up and everything was just dirty and had stains on it, and debris around the work area, and it just didn't give me a great feeling. To be fair, the pedicure came out really nice. They opened what appeared to be a sealed pack of sanitized tools, which I appreciated, and I'm happy with how my toes turned out. The acrylic nails, though, were another story. The technician left noticeable gaps between the acrylic and my cuticles, as well as along the sides of my nails. They're also extremely thick. My boyfriend, who normally doesn't notice nails at all, actually asked if they were press-ons because they looked so bulky and fake. It's only been about a week, and because of the large gap near the cuticle, they already look like they've grown out for several weeks. I know sometimes a last-minute appointment is all you can get, and that's why I stayed. But if I could do it over again, I would have gone somewhere else. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.

This place is excellent. If you are looking for the most professional, intelligent, talented group…read moreof people doing your nails. This is the place. After multiple disappointing services at other salons in Orange County, I finally found a place that understands that being a nail tech is a craft and prioritizes healthy nails!!! I've been coming here for almost 2 years and I very much enjoy every appointment. Rachel and Cindy do my manicures and Grazziela does my pedicures. I appreciate them all. They use quality products. They have super clean sanitation practices. I always leave happy. I literally only had one nail break the entire time since coming here and that was honestly my own fault because I loved my nails so much that I waited +5 weeks to come back.

The tldr; come get your nails and toes done here - you won't regret it…read more I have the pleasure of regularly getting my nails done by the fabulous Rachel Messick. My very first appointment she talked about nail health and I honestly learned so much. I've been coming back ever since. I have NEVER not been completely satisfied with my nails and the experience. I look forward to coming in and catching up with Rachel and leaving with nails I can't stop staring at. She is an artist through and through and I love showing off her work to everyone I know. I get basic gel (or at least I think it is) and my nails always last - I go about 4 weeks between appointments. I've also gotten by nails done by Grazziela, another artist at Vacation Nail Collective. She too did an amazing job! I've been meaning to book a pedicure with her and have been eyeing her books. Just need to commit! The location is also super cute. There's parking either on the street, the lot behind the building, or a parking structure about a block away (don't worry it's free). If you park in the parking garage there is a very cute cat that lives in the nearby houses and it will likely come out and greet you if you walk by (10/10 experience). If you're hungry or thirsty after your appointment there are SO many good cafes and restaurants near by. Since the artists here are so talented, their books fill up fast, so book quickly! Enjoy your pretty nails and ignore how bad I am at nail pics.

Obsessed with my nails Terry is an exceptional nail artist…read moreAnd lovely to talk with. I always asked for Terry and Mindy for my toes

The lady cut my toe nails so short that it was hurting when she filed it. I asked 3 times if she…read morecould do acrylic on my big toe to make it square since the side of it broke so it could match the other foot and she didn't do it. These aren't even square and she kept cutting the side of my toe nails and filing them back when they were too short and hurt. I've been coming. Here for a long time this is probably the worst shaping I've ever gotten here. I could have done my own shaping better than that at home. Just ridiculous *** it was around 5-7 weeks since my last pedicure so my toes were not "really short" besides the big toe that broke. I added another picture to show that she was filing into my toe nails after cutting them super short as short as she could get them and made half of them round and tiny. She also cut the sides of the nails which you aren't supposed to do due to infection and hang nails. I asked her not to do this. there was no reason for her to cut the sides of my nails on one foot and not the other leaving with me with uneven toes. I appreciate the response but I feel that there should be an attempt to fix the situation instead of making excuses or insinuating that I'm making this up.

Come with me for the ultimate luxury head spa experience at Kitty Glow! ‍ $112 and reg $160…read more I tried their Diamond Package, a 100-minute treatment that feels like a little vacation for your mind, skin, and hair! We're talking double shampoo cleansing, herbal water circulation, red light therapy, and a relaxing steam eye mask. And girl, it doesn't stop there! This relaxing head spa uses aloe vera to hydrate the scalp, lemon to help remove excess oil and buildup, and honey to attract moisture and leave your hair feeling soft and smooth. You also get a neck, shoulder, and arm massage with warm towels and hot stones, plus a nourishing hair mask and keratin treatment for silky, shiny hair. The facial is just as dreamy, with deep cleansing, a hydrating mask, and a rose quartz roller and gua sha massage for that fresh, glowing look! They even finish with a light blow-dry, plus complimentary herbal tea and snacks. Honestly, it's the perfect self-care day when you want to relax, recharge, and feel pampered from head to toe. More than a spa, it's a luxury experience!
