**look at the pictures before reading. Pictures explain it all** So the wife made plans for couples pedicures and massages. She found Hands On through good ol Yelp. For the record, this review is based on the pedicure and not the business or the massage therapist. Unfortunately this will be a knock on the business because in the end, the business represents each of their employees. Kind of sucks but it is what it is. I can't just Yelp the nail lady. We arrived about ten minutes early and our massage therapist was ready and waiting for us. The nail lady, well she came walking in about 10:29 and 59 milliseconds when our appointment is at 10:30. No big deal right? Things happen. I get it. My wife picked me first to get my pedicure. So this lady starts working on my feet and she appeared lost. Almost like she did not know what she was doing. It got to the point where I almost was going to tell her to stop her service because I felt she didn't have the skills to perform a basic pedicure. She would use the regular clippers to clip the corners of my toes. I am no pedi expert but I wouldn't use normal squared clippers for corners. Another irritating thing about my pedicure is the seating. You basically sit on a bench, stick your feet in a small portable tub that lays on some vibrating gadget. I was uncomfortable for sure. So the wife gets done with her 60 minute Massage and the nail lady is still working on my feet. Maybe me you I don't get special colors or polish since I don't wear that stuff. Wow!!!! In the end, this was by far the worst and I mean the worst pedicure I have ever had. I get done with my massage which was good. Wish is was a little bit harder but it was good. My wife was still getting her feet done by the same nail lady. In the end, We walked in at 10:30, and left closer to 2pm. Way too long. The wife hated her pedicure. My wife's exact words, "my four year could paint better nails that her." Ouch!!!! So who is this mystery pedicure lady? I don't know her name but she has been there for one month. read more

Rosa gives an AMAZING massage! I've had my fair share of massages over the years and hers is by far the best! I love that she uses heating pads and hot stones. I have received 4 massages from her now, the last 2 being prenatals. Her room is beautiful, clean, and it's quiet which is a MUST for me. She is great for first timers too! I have become a regular for sure! read more

I had always wanted to do something "special" and just for me but I hadn't figured out what that was. Didn't really want a mani/pedi or a new haircut... so I thought I massage would be a good idea, and let me say, I was not wrong. Erin is amazing and I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. I would totally recommend seeing her if you just want a little bit of "me" time. read more

Very nice Salon with hair, nails, pedicures, even massages. Zella owner with Tina, nails, Nikki pedicures!

I found this salon by looking at Yelp reviews and decided to take a chance on it. I only had a 2 hour window of free time and they took me right in when I called. I love this place, everyone there was so friendly, Katie did an amazing job on my hair cut and was able to wax my eyebrows and upper lip right after. I am highly impressed with this salon, go check it out! read more

My wife, mother in law, and my 'aunt in law' Went here today for a manicure/pedicure. My mother in law has cancer, and doesn't have a lot of time left. She uses a walker (barely) and is very tender. They were so wonderful to everyone! They were very accommodating for my mother in law and were very gentle! She really felt like a VIP, and had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for going above and beyond for them today. We will definitely be back. read more

Late posting, got my hair done Thursday night by Miss Zella. I LOVE IT! She always does exactly what I ask. I love my rich color and she cuts my hair perfectly every time.

She also cuts my 14 yo daughters hair and cut my sons locks off to donate. followed by some cool colors he chose to support breast cancer and diabetes. looking forward to her creating a beautiful style for my little girls first upcoming formal. Thank you Zella for always making us look and feel beautiful read more

Not sure where my other review went. I was going to update it today with another amazing job by Maria and it's missing. So I'm writing another one. 1st off id like to say Maria is a amazing hairdresser. I'm one of those idk what I want please make it pretty kinda people. Well Maria is amazing at what she does. Every time I have had my hair done by her I come out looking like a model (well my hair does anyway). I seen her again today because I changed my mind again. Went back closer to my natural color with highlights (her suggestion). She blended the colors amazingly and it came out better then I had pictured in my head. I highly recommend Maria for any of your hair needs. She is very skilled and friendly. I'll post all pics I have available to date. Seriously I won't be going to anyone else to do my hair.. unless she retires. Then bribery may come into play for her to still do my hair.. Lol. I plan to add more pictures as I seem to change my mind about my hair a lot. read more

I have worked with Elizabeth for 3 years. The nails last close to a month without peeling or chipping. Fou Fou has been my aesthetician for over 2 years. Her work is detailed and flattering. They are easy to work with and my first recommendation to those who compliment my nails and brows. If you are looking to enhance your look contact Fou Fou and Elizabeth. read more

By far the best place I've gotten my hair done. Everyone always ask me who colors my hair and even people I've never met always ask me about my hair and where I get my hair done. I've been going to Zella for almost 10 years now and wouldn't have it any other way! read more

I went in to see Zella with my very fine, thin hair and a hairline of an old Grandpa. My hair was long and I was desperate. She knew exactly what to do with my hair, and while I was shocked at first sight of my new hair do it is the next day and I am now shocked at how much more hair I seem to have and am so grateful for her expertise and confidence to do the right thing for my hair when I had no clue. Thank you, Thank You!! Nancy P. read more

What can I say I have known Zella the owner for years. She is a master when it comes to hair and fixes all my boo boos!!! Has cut my kids hair since they were babies and they are 16 and 19 now. She tries to fit you in and works very hard. Patrice does my massages there and she is amazing too.... read more

I had put off finding a new massage therapist for a couple of years. I found Rosa at Hands on Spa through a gift certificate from my nephew. When I called I was booked with Rosa and it was a refreshing delight. She was very thorough my first time in. Amongst other things she inquired about what type pressure I preferred. My preference is med leaning toward hard and she delivered, it was marvelous. She is extremely good. I went in once a week for a while to work out my kinks and Rosa was outstanding each time. Always affirming what my preferences were and always following through with great sessions. I continue to see her and I am always satisfied. I give 4 stars because we always have to have room to grow. Rosa is 10 stars in my personal book. read more

My wife and I took a little get away to Turlock and wanted to try a couples massage. This place was nothing less then amazing, a little bit tough to find, but once you are their you're in great hands. Wine and strawberry's to set the mood and then a wonderful massage followed up with some cheese and crackers. A must try if you are ever in the area. read more

What a great feeling to leave a salon & spa and be happy with every service they provide!! I had been living in Modesto almost all my life and only went to one place to get my hair done & my nails for years!! But I am so happy that I was introduced to Zella, owner of salon & spa because for the last year and a half had been hesitate of changing to a place local since moving to Turlock. But so happy I took that risk! Kuddos to Zella, professional stylist who has been doing my hair monthly since last year. Today, I walked in for my usual color however, planned on getting highlights and she delivered just as I asked and so happy with my hair. A special thank you to Patrice, massage therapist that is a hands on machine!! I really enjoy going monthly and getting a special treatment from her and looking forward to seeing her next month!! If your looking for a good facial FuFu is your lady!! She suggested what was best for my skin and I left very satisfied when I stopped by to see her earlier this month and look forward to going back! THANK YOU LADIES!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I was very skeptical trying out a new place to get my eyebrows done as I usually go get them done in Fresno but I absolutely am thrilled I found this place!!! Right off the bat when I called they were so nice and helped me getting an appointment same day! Christianne did my eyebrows and it's the best and most painless eyebrow waxing I have ever experienced! I loved the way my eyebrows turned out!! I would highly recommended this salon to everyone! Everyone was so nice! read more

O M G! Best experience I've had! I had a massage with Erin yesterday and could not be any happier. She was amazing!!!!

I am so HAPPY that my sister recommended I come see Vidi! She is so sweet, knowledgeable and AMAZING! I came in with straw and left with soft, shiny gorgeous hair! I encourage anyone who is looking for a wonderful stylist , to come see Vidi! read more

I just experienced my first massage and I had the supreme pleasure of having Patrice as my massage therapist. I went in to the salon apprehensively, not sure what to expect, and Patrice made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the initial consultation. I expressed my concerns and directed her to my problem areas and she handled the rest. I left feeling like a million dollars, and I will most certainly be back. Professional and courteous..highly recommended. read more

Just received the best massage I've ever had, from Patrice. I asked for a relaxing, medium pressure massage and that is what I got, plus more. For just $60 for an hour (not 50 minutes like most), she used hot stones AND hands on my back, and kept heat on my neck and shoulders after finding some knots there. I also appreciated that she chatter at me during my massage, because that makes it difficult for me to relax. She offered a bottle of cold water after I was dressed again. There isn't spa water or tea in the waiting area, like some spas offer, but I am happy to skip all of that for an amazing massage at a great price. There is a comfortable waiting area and the massage room is nicely decorated. Very soothing. read more

Out of this world! Thank you Erin for the best therapeutic 60 minutes in my life. Already scheduled my next appointment and looking forward to scheduling one every 2 weeks! Found my sanity! read more

The Massage therapist Melissa is Wonderful. I go to her at least once a month because my job is so stressful. For the price you can't beat it. She is very professional and makes me feel comfortable. Great job! read more

Fou Fou, the esthetician here, is amazing! She is the waxing queen and does fantastic facials too. I love her products and she is the best at what she does read more

I started going to Vidi because she was very personable and did a great job on my eyebrows. Time and time again I started to realize that she'd be later and later for our appointments. The last three times in a row she was 20 or more minutes late and each time showed up with a Starbucks cup in her hand. She didn't even apologize for being late. Needles to say I'm ticked and will not be returning. read more

Rosa gave me hands-down the best massage I've ever had! Too bad I'm moving, I wish I could take her with me!!!

They did amazing work!! Vidi C. Worked on my hair along with my mothers and it came out great. Everyone was so nice and professional and they all had great personalities. We're definitely planning on going back whenever we need our hair done. read more

This place is great! Erin is fantastic if you need a massage. Fou Fou is the waxing queen and both of the nail ladies do a fantastic job. Highly recommended. read more

I have taken my 89 year old mother here acouple of times and they are professional and do a very good job. The manicurist did an exceptional job the first time,by educating the client on the hazards of acrylic nails and cleaned up the fungus that years of acrylics had caused. The were quite accomodating and made it a pleasant experience. The haircut was also nice. It isn't always easy to deal with a client with a walker, but they did a good job each time! A little difficult to find, but worth it! read more

Patrice gave me the best massage! I walked in with lower back pain that has been with me for months. I walked out with no pain at all, and relaxed. I will certainly be going back as often as I can! Thank you Patrice! read more

Thank you! Someone gave me a gift certificate and I didn't think I would appreciate your services as much as I did!

I had an amazing relaxing massage from Patrice. She was wonderful & I definitely recommend her!!

Kathee is the best. Came in looking like a wreck she made time for me and I left feeling like Cinderella !

Just had a prenatal massage here from Patrice and it was wonderful. Nicely done room with heated massage table. I have had many regular massages before but this was my first in pregnancy. She used side lying positions and and large body pillow to hug. I felt very comfortable with Patrice. read more

My massage with Erin was amazing! I suffer from intense shoulder pain and her technique with the hot stone melted that pain away!

I am new to the area and I was getting ready for an interview so I came in to get my eyebrows waxed. I came across this salon through yelp reviews. I had previously went to another salon but I was not welcomed too well so this was my second choice. But you know what?? I am glad the other salon treated me poorly because I had the best service ever here! I appreciate how she took the effort to ask everyone in her shop if they had time for an eyebrow wax, even though they were super busy, unlike the other salon I had previously went to. I ended up getting my eyebrows and hair curled for only $32. What a great deal!, considering my hair is up to my lower back. The hair curls took at least an hour to complete since I have so much hair. The service was excellent and even when I walked into my panel interview the ladies all complimented my hair all thanks to the amazing hair stylist Carolin. What an amazing way to break the ice before an interview! I couldn't have asked for better customer service and amazing hair styling skills. Thank you!! read more
