First time there. Lovely place and had a great massage. This place has a nice range of services. I would use them again.

I had Jessica do my hair and makeup for my wedding a few years ago and again for my recent family photo shoot. She did an amazing job both times! She's an awesome stylist and gave me exactly what I wanted. She went out of her way both times to make sure that each experience was relaxing and stress free. I would definitely recommend her for your next event! read more

The ladies that work here are the BEST! Jessica helps my whole family with our hair needs- she is amazing- we all love her positive attitude, fun personality and amazing work. Everyone that works here feels like family when you come in- the atmosphere is always upbeat. You can tell that everyone that works here is good at what they do by the conversation and clearly loyal customers. read more

An excellent pamper day for me - facial and hot stone massage. I felt amazing afterwards, she dug deep in all the right places.

I have been very pleased with the services at Tranquille Salon and Spa in the two years that Megan has been my stylist. I see there is a recent bad review but since the issue was scheduling, I am certain that there is more to this story. I have never had an issue with scheduling, in fact, the staff there has been exceptionally accommodating and even rebooked me in a busy holiday week after I had to cancel my appointment with less than 24 hours notice because of a death in the family! I am moving out-of-state in the next several weeks and am very sad to be leaving Megan and Tranquille Salon behind! Thank you, ladies, for being so consistently great. I will miss you. read more

When a friend of friend suggested that I have my wedding hair done at this tiny shop in a strip mall, I had my doubts... but his place totally rocks! I can't recommend them enough! I heart Megan!! She transformed me from my normal straggly-haired self into a BRIDE. When I came in for the trial with an idea of a modern version of a beehive to compliment my 50's gown, she calmly looked at the various pictures of things I want to somehow morph together, thought about it for a couple of minutes, and then proceeded to make it happen (Trust me, this was a pretty complicated 'do! And I am one PICKY customer). A friend has already asked to copy this 'do for her upcoming event. I loved my make-up too! Megan really listens to her clients and gives them exactly what they ask for. Sara also did a great job on my mother-in-law's hair and my Matron of Honor's hair and make-up! The prices at this salon are very reasonable and, contrary to most wedding vendors, they post prices right on their website! I did a trial run, which I highly recommend. Knowing that I was in good hands with Megan alleviated so much stress on my wedding day! read more

Ana was absolutely amazing! I picked this boutique for my wedding day hair and make-up based on their great reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. A few months before the wedding, I went in for my consultation. I brought Ana photos of brides' hair I really liked, and she, my maid of honor and I, worked for two hours to figure out my hairstyle. We went went with a complicated updo- Ana was able to twist and braid strands of hairs as they were loosely pulled back. It really gave it a nice, rustic look that I wanted. She did my make-up as well, and took pictures and notes so that she would remember how to do everything the day of the wedding. She was very open to questions and suggestions from my maid of honor and I. =) A few weeks before the wedding, Ana high-lighted and cut my hair. I'm generally the Super Cuts kinda girl, as I usually just pull my hair up into a ponytail anyway. So, I'm inexperienced with hair in general, but I loved the job she did on it. The highlights were beautiful and natural looking. I had my Bachelorette Party that night, so she curled my hair at the very end. It looked perfect throughout an entire night of debauchery! The day of the wedding she showed up on time. I was actually running late, so the poor lady wandered around looking for me at the wedding venue. We finally found each other, and she finished my hair and make-up in a nick of time. There was one point where I wasn't liking the way it was looking, and I called my maid of honor over in frustration. Something wasn't right with the framing of my face- I didn't like it, but I didn't know how to immediately fix it. Through playing with it a little and rearranging the falling strands of hair, Ana figured it all out. She even got some spare flowers from my florist and tucked those in the back of my head. My hair came out beautiful, and I loved Ana's patience and creativity. She was very professional, timely and courteous. She even went the extra mile and gave advice and mildly assisted my bridesmaids with their hair and make-up (they were determined to do it on their own, but still needed a little help with the mechanics). My hair stayed up and secure the entire 7 hours of my ceremony and reception. Not counting the lipstick, my make-up stayed on as well. I recommend bringing extra lipstick for touch-ups (we did but I forgot to reapply it because I was so caught up in wedding festivities). Thank you, Ana! Everyone loved my hair! read more

Very experienced massage therapy staff the two I've seen so far have good background in body mechanics- helpful to my hip issue. Will return! read more

I highly recommend Anna for wedding makeup/hair! And also just color/cut. She was amazing and so sweet and gave me exactly what I wanted for my special day. I felt so beautiful, got so many compliments on my makeup and my hairstyle which both lasted all night long and looked absolutely stunning. I had so much trouble finding people who would do what I wanted rather than what they thought I should do, and Anna made it easy and made work for me and it was just all around awesome working with her! read more

I have chronic back issues and pain. I came in for a massage to get things loosened up the day before an abdominal surgery. I knew I'd be laying around and may tighten up and worsen my already bad back. Today is post op day two and I feel amazing! My back hasn't felt this good in I don't know how long! Honestly, I can't wait to go back and have Jamie work on my back and body! I have ZERO back pain! J. Treanor read more

I was in my good friends wedding this past May 2011. They came to us at the location. At first I started to not like my hair when she first started styling. But let me tell you I felt like a super model after the hair and make up was done. I felt pretty enough to be in my friends wedding. This is why they are the proffessionals! read more

Tranquille Spa - I loved my hair. - Massage Near Me - Aptos, California

Massage Harbor always has the most skilled and professional therapists. But Kirk Samis is beyond being a great massage therapist. He had healing powers. I went in due to debilitating pain, he gave me a complete body reset and I have been pain free since. I don't know where he got his training but his skills are above and beyond the typical Massage. read more

Brazilian blowout time! So, set aside a few hours of time and make sure you know what you are getting ourself into. You cant tuck your hsir behind your ears, wash it or put it in a clip or ponytail for 3 days after the procesx. Plus, you have to invest in some sulfate free shampoo/conditioner. But, for super smoorh fizz/free air...it was totally worth it to me. I went to Sarah once again and was thrilled with her work. read more

Wow!! I cannot believe that I have not written a review for Tranquille yet! Molly has been my hair hero for the past year, and I have not EVER gotten so many compliments on my hair before going to her!! Even if it's been a couple of months since my last visit with her, people STILL comment on my hair and ask who does it all the time (I mean at least several times a week)! The other girls in the salon are also super sweet and will help out if I want more opinions about what would look good on me. It's so fun hanging out with them and just chatting, and I trust Molly 100% with highlighting my hair without damaging it and giving me super-flattering cuts. Molly is the bee's knees, and I promise you will never regret going to her for your beauty needs!! read more

Fabian is amazingly talented and intuitive! The location is wonderful and the rooms, music and linens make for an exceptional experience. And the prices and promos make it accessible to almost anyone. You will love this place!! read more

Mady is the Bomb! Happened into Tranquille a couple years ago and have been seeing Mady ever since! She is talented, full of energy and has style which I desperately need. I enjoyed my hair so much, my entire family now sees her! If a picky husband, 15 year old boy and I can all agree on a stylist, she must be magical!!!! read more

I go to Tranquille Salon for one reason and one reason only - David Chase. David is a master colorist and hair stylist. He is awesomely talented and really knows his business. I cannot recommend him enough. If you want a style and color that fits your style and your face then go to David. read more

Beautiful up-do! The delicate tendrils framing my face were perfectly curled and yet so soft. The teased-volume hair was smooth, the pinned curls were solidly in place and arranged with wonderful taste. It stayed put all night -- I didn't need the extra handful of salon-grade bobby pins my stylist gave me for "just in case"! My stylist, besides being excellent, was friendly and nice. Also, she did everything in the blink of an eye. I didn't have my contact lenses in yet and at first I thought, there is no way she could be done, it must be a rushed job. Not the case at all! When I eased my glasses on, so as not to disturb my hair, I was pleased to discover how lovely it looked. Very happy with the result! The efficiency was an added bonus! read more

I got married in March at Seascape Beach Resort in Aptos and had Sara come over to our room to do my hair and make up, and my MOHs hair the morning of the wedding. It's totally worth the extra money to have the option for them to come to you. Sara was great at our trial appointment and the day of the wedding. She was on time for both appointments, and listened to what we wanted. I don't typically wear much makeup on a day to day basis and didn't want my wedding makeup to be too over the top and not look like me but I absolutely loved how she did my hair and makeup! I also really liked the glo makeup line they sell in the salon and ending up buying the foundation, powder and concealer Sara used for my trial cause the colors matched my skin tone so well. Sara was so professional, kind and did an amazing job with my hair and makeup and my MOHs hair. Love that they are conveniently located right across the street from Seascape where we had our wedding weekend. Thanks Sara read more

Had a great deep tissue massage with Juliana, she was very attentive to my needs. The location is perfect, very close to the beach, it was clean and quiet. I will definitely return next time I come back to Aptos read more

Fabian is one of the best massage therapists I've been to. Takes the time to figure out your issues, explain them to you and make stretching or home massage recommendations to help prevent them. Seems very educated and enthusiastic about his trade and truly cares about how his clients are feeling. read more

I have been going to Massage Harbor for about 4 years now. I recommend it to everyone I can. I always have a great experience. Personable, friendly and always accommodating! Love this place! read more

Finding the PERECT hair stylist (within a 50 mile radius) is like winning the lottery. I hit it big when I walked into Tranquille for a cut, style and color consult. Its been 5 years and I will never go anywhere else. Sara & Megan are knowledgable, listened to what I wanted for my hair and make the process efficient, affordable and go beyond my expectations. I have referred many people to them over the years. It speaks volumes that my teenage son is now a client. Most importantly, they make me feel beautiful. My "bad hair days" are a thing of the past. I can't give enough praise to Sara & Megan. Thank you Ladies. read more

Tranquille Spa - Hair by Sara @ Tranquille - Aptos - Massage Near Me - Aptos, California

One of my best experiences ever with a massage therapist! I am 29 weeks pregnant and Aislyn did spectacular work! I received a full body scrub that left me feeling like brand new and a facial that was just as heavenly. I would absolutely recommend this place to others! I hope to come again someday. read more

GREAT!!!!!!! I usually have really, really tight muscles in my back and shoulders on a daily basis, but this particular time I had a terrible, bad knot under my left shoulder that was so painful my left arm was tingling and it hurt every time I took a breath in (as a result of moving furniture the day before). I had never heard anything about them, found them on-line and called because they were close to my house. They were able to schedule me in that day if I didn't mind having a male give the massage. I'd never had a massage from a guy before, just always felt more comfortable with women. I said that was fine and was really happy to get an appointment within the following few hours because I was definately going to call the doctor if I was not able to find a massage that day. It's a really small, comfortable place and that was absolutely, hands down the best massage I've ever had in my whole life. Marshall is FANTASTIC! He's really strong and very intuitive and persistent with any knots he finds. I've had lots of knots in my back and lots of great massages. I usually leave feeling a lot better, but can still kind of feel the bad knots even though they are great improved. This is the only time I've ever left a massage with every single knot completely and totally worked out and GONE. That's never happened before. I can't recommend Marshall enough. I just scheduled a massage for my boss with him and I will definately be going back. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Marshall. read more

Relaxing. Rejuvenating. HEALING. Reasonably Priced. I came to Massage Harbor to help me with my pains and aching .... I have ; - Tendinitis on my right arm - Plantar Fasciitis on my right foot - Lower Back Strain - Strain and Stress from Sports * KAREN was my Masseuse, and what INCREDIBLE HEALING HANDS she has * During my "Therapeutic Massage" ALL of my tension and inflammation was reduced completely. My body was so relieved to be releasing so many toxins and stress. I was in a relaxed meditative state the entire session. I am looking forward to the other types of Massage they offer ; and will be requesting Karen :) read more

I had an excellent hot stone massage from Kelley today. She was very professional and skilled. I was super comfortable and definitely plan to come back for more massages! Got a great deal on Groupon and this place even offers a buy 5 1 hour sessions = get 1 free reward. Nice! read more

I found this place about six months ago and have been going regularly ever since. Kelley is amazing - very skilled, very intuitive, very nurturing. She adapts the session well to what my body needs at the time; anything from a deeply relaxing Swedish massage to a more rigorous deep tissue massage, or a mix. The after effects of her work lasts for days. My wife is also now a Kelley regular! The massage rooms are quiet and comfortable. There's nice background music and heated massage tables for those cool days. And it's located at a great beach in Aptos so you can go for a nice beach walk before or after the massage. What are you waiting for? Call to make an appointment with Kelley!! Your body will thank you. Just don't call TOO often, because I still need to get appointment times! read more

Quant place with a upper deck to relax while waiting. Right near the Del Rio beach and down the street from the beach house we are renting. My therapist Aislyn, Reiki Master, CMT was wonderful. Took away my tension headache and relieved the muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. read more

My fiancée and I recently had a couples massage from Marshall and Kelley. What can I say, it was amazing. Their new location is beautiful and in such a great location for a relaxing day at the beach. In addition, it is extremely clean and well kept. Marshall and Kelley were extremely professional, knowledgable, and made the experience very comfortable. Their pricing is competitive, and well worth every penny. I'm not big into massages, however, now I might be. We will definitely be going back and we will recommend our friends and family for sure. read more

Last weekend, I received a 90 minute Thai massage from Marshall. Marshall is a true professional and an expert on intricacies of the body. Not only is he well trained and highly intuitive, but he is also very kind and makes sure his clients feel comfortable. He also spent some time educating me about anatomy, free of charge, after the massage was over. I would absolutely recommend Marshall for any type of massage. I have also received a wonderful Swedish massage from Kelley about 6 months ago, who was also highly skilled and very nice. Massage Harbor is a great place and it also seems like a good business model. If you're thinking about getting a massage, come here instead of going to a spa where the massage therapist maybe gets 20-25% percent tops of what you spent on the massage (the rest goes to the spa i.e. Chaminade hotel, tea house spa, well within). read more

I absolutely loved my massage with Kelley. She went right to my trouble spots that needed extra attention. I'm super picky and she gave it just how I like it slow with deep pressure. I will definitely be back when ever I'm visiting Aptos. read more

I am picky about my hair. I went from dying, highlighting, and cutting on a regular basis to no color and infrequent hair cuts. I came to see Megan for a cut. She is funny and listens to what you want. I didn't feel like she was trying to pigeon hole me into a certain look that all women "should" have. She did what I wanted....trim with a slight bit. It looked awesome! Megan is great and I plan on sticking with her from now on. read more

I've been to their old location by Rio Del Mar and recently visited their new location in Seascape. I had a really good experience at the old location but not a great experience at the new one. While the new location is beautiful, the individual rooms were so cold! I was cold throughout the whole massage despite the table warmer being set to the highest setting. It's hard to relax when your body is cold. More importantly, I was disappointed with the massage. It's only something I can afford to do a few times a year so I'm hopeful when I do get a chance to get some body care done. The therapist's style was different than what I'm used to. Her touch was very intentional and thoughtful, but it was way too slow for me. She only got to about half my body, there was a lot of light touches, gentle jostling of body parts, and lengthy transitions, all of which I could have done without. I was looking for more of a traditional massage to work out the soreness in my muscles but when I walked out of there, I still felt pretty stiff and sore. read more

My lovely bride's review: "Emily and Ana are great, professional stylists that were able to create exactly the look that I was unable to articulate myself. When I first began researching stylists, these two ladies came highly recommended by our wedding site for their ability to effortlessly create any look and their willingness to do hair and makeup onsite. I met Emily a few months before the wedding for a trial session, and she was very knowledgeable of current styles and helped me find the words for what I was looking for. She is also a very skilled makeup artist who knows exactly what will look good for camera shots. We talked through the fact that my wedding was going to be outside, in various lighting configurations, and that I was also going to partake of a fairly athletic activity in the middle of it and put together a final look based on those rather non-traditional needs. The day of, Emily and Ana arrived on time and finished all four bridesmaids, myself, my mother and her twin, and the groom's mother on schedule. Despite a mix-up on my part with what time I had told the photographer we would be ready, Emily and Ana created beautiful looks for all involved, and I am very satisfied. They were also very chill and down to earth, which helped defuse some of the day-of stress. I have enclosed a link to our photographer's blog so you can see the end result for yourself. I can't recommend them enough for making our wedding day great. http://www.portraitsbyshanti.com/blog/holy-cow " read more

I was working near Aptos for a few months and was in desperate need of a great stylist. After having a terrible cut and color in another salon, I found Tranquillity Spa on Yelp. I called and left a message on the vm and was called back quickly. Jessica was able to get me right in. I'm a Redkin addict which is great as they use Redkin color. My color turned out fabulous. Jessica did a fantastic cut and really spent time start to finish making sure she knew just what I wanted. Her prices were amazing and I left happy!!! I will be back before I leave the area and will greatly miss her read more

My girlfriend is a massage therapist and I have had many a deep tissue massage. This would rank with one of my best ever. Highly recommend.

I got my wedding hair done by Megan in October (I went to her prior to the big day for some trials and she was willing to try the styles I showed her pics of and came up with some ideas of her own). My hair looked awesome and so did my bridesmaids! read more

I was lucky enough to notice a deal going on, on their Facebook page. So, I jumped on it and scheduled a massage that day. The facility is very small, nothing special, but still very clean and tranquil. However, there was major construction going on outside the door and it defitnley affected my massage. I recieved a 90minutes full body massage that I would have considered perfect if it had not been for the noise outside. The massage therapist was able to get out my major knots in my shoulders and teetered on giving me a deep tissue based on my needs. I could have been there for another hour. I unfortunatley also got lost and had no idea where to park, since there is a sign next to the facility that says DO NOT PARK HERE, therefore I was 15 minutes late, and by the time I got on the table after filling out paperwork, she had to cut down on my massage time because there was someone else coming in. Guess they book them back to back with not much room for this sort of problrem. I would go back to try again should I be on time, there was no major construction going on outside, now that I know where to park and had a coupon so then I could really have a perfect experience. read more

What a luxurious experience! The spa is so quaint it makes you want to stay for the entire day! I had Amanda and she was amazing! After my body scrub, she rubbed hot seaweed gel all over my arms and legs then wrapped me in the coziest blanket burrito ever! While I was baking away I received a neck and shoulder massage followed by 20 minutes of listening to relaxing music. She came back into the room and rubbed off the gel with hot towels then gave me a 90 minute hot stone massage (insert drool here)! It was a blissful 2 1/2 hour experience and I cannot wait to go back! YOU GUYS ROCK! read more
