    The one nail technician burned my friend and drilled her nails so thin. You can see that the pinky nail was completely fine with the polish being removed. All of a sudden she started to use the drill and completely drill her acrylic nail off because "they put the glitter inside of the acrylic" which didn't make sense because again the pinky nail is completely fine. I DO NOT recommend this! The owner did nothing to help and proceeded to tell my friend "you need a new set" and cut off all of the tips of her nails. Her set was not even 2 weeks old.

    My nails were left with what looks like a dirty crack in the sides of a couple nails. I got a fill in and you can see the separation of the fill in from my previous nails, they are different colors. For a fill in and 2 nail repairs (adding tips on 2) it was $75! One of my nails popped off after a week, I went back to get it fixed no charge but they did the pink gel in that nail a different shade than the rest. My cousin also had 2 nails pop off in a week and a half.

    I have been going to another Nail salon for a while and I cannot tell you how happy I was to have found ala Vita. From the service, to the ambiance, to the waiting time. Everything was perfect. I cannot wait to come back for more amazing designs.

    Picture speaks for itself. Moved from NY, and this is the only salon that does a great job. The place itself it's very cute and clean everything is new. The owner is always there to overlook the job they do, this place never fails.

    My nails.

    Went there for the first time since I have been living in the Poconos. Chen did an amazing job on the pedi hands down Yumi crushed my nails.

    Overpriced for something so simple as French gel pedicure and tips + dip powder manicure. Long wait was in there for 4 hrs for them to do a horrible job. My pedicure was rushed I didn't get to experience the full service they usually give. Nails dip powder are too thick and French gel paint job really messy looking and chipped same day hours later. Now i have no issues with the staff but I don't appreciate how rushed they were when i waited so patiently for them to get to me. I don't like to do this review but I am very disappointed I spent 120$ + 12$ tip cause i tip regardless of service for a terrible outcome.

    I've been going here for quite some time and have also recommended many friends and family here because loved the atmosphere and people. Lately, over the past few months, the vibe has surely changed a lot. I've been making sure to make appointments because usually with an appointment you're not suppose to wait. Usually, I said. With that being said? How come the last 2xs prior to todays visit, I have made an appt and winded up overall taking close to 3 hours because I had to wait for others. If you make appts, you don't overlap your appts like that to make others wait. On top of already paying more for simple things, those visits were strike1 & 2 and I made it vocal not happy with the experience lately and all the owner could say was "sorry and we will make it right the next time!" I said I hope so, because 3 strikes and I'm done. Low and behold todays visit. I made an appointment for my nails and eyebrows for me and my daughter. I get there and the salon is packed! Yumi said 'you called for appt, right?' I said that's me. So after waiting 15 mins, owner finally comes over and says one girl is going to start wrapping my nails. In doing so, she then did our eyebrows, and then walked away and just left me there. A couple walked in a few minutes later for pedicure (with NO appt) and she left me and decided to start taking care of them. Normally I keep my composure but lately with them, enough is enough. I guess I didn't rate in order of importance and got pushed to the side, as they proceeded to work on two new clients that walked into the building. So I asked Yumi how long I have to wait and she couldn't answer me. So owner said when she was done doing a set of tips for 1 of 3 clients she will start with me again. I said that's not right. Why am I waiting when I had appt. That I have less than an hour and had to go. She said if I can wait for Yumi to finish, she will continue with me. How much longer was I waiting again? She just started her person 10 minutes prior. So the owner said come back. I said I can't, as they close at 5 and my daughter had a sports event. She said it's ok, I stay open later. I said I can't. She said come back tomorrow, and again I said I can't because of work. She said well you have to wait or just get your nails off and that's it. So I said please just take it off and I'm done. That was their 3rd strike!!! Sad, as I have been going there awhile. She literally had me walk out before I finished getting anything done or they can do a good job of cleaning the gel off my nails. I guess my $ is worth something somewhere else. I will take me and my referrals elsewhere. Sorry community, but unless you are nasty to them, you are no one to them. They usually respond better to those who talk down on them. I enjoyed my time there, but u less you want a pedicure, you will WAIT!! So sad but true

    Well, they did it again. I can't express how wonderful the people are and how great of a service they offer.

    My new go to place!! They just opened recently and are super clean and friendly! I got an amazing pedicure for only $22 and gel manicure for $25 and they really took their time and made me feel nice. Definitely try it out! I'm excited to try out their facials and massages next time I visit!

    I booked a massage for June 30, 2025 at 2pm. I pre-paid $110 for the massage. When I showed up for…read moremy appointment, the location was closed. Very frustrating, but in itself, not the reason for this cautionary review. I made several calls that day and subsequently to this business, but none were returned. I emailed and called Tranquil Moments requesting my money back and was ignored for 2 weeks. Today I called my credit card company and requested a chargeback. I do not care how good Tranquil Moments is at massage if they cannot keep an appointment, and then ignore phone calls, emails and text messages about the missed appointment and requests for a refund. My belief is that this business planned to keep my $110, and hoped that I would just give up. I will never ever attempt to book with this provider again. The landlord told me that he has seen a number of other customers show for appointments only to find the business closed.

    A complete scam! I booked an appointment for a Saturday morning, and my card was charged…read moreimmediately. That day, I was mapped to the wrong place, and I called, texted and emailed in advance of my appointment time to let them know that I was in the wrong location. I made it to the correct location a few moments after what would've been my appointment start time with the hope that they would still be able to see me and that my appointment may just be shortened. Apparently, I was worried for nothing, because the whole place was closed. Not a car in the lot, "closed" sign on the door and the whole place was dark. I called, texted, and emailed again to see if there was some sort of misunderstanding. No response. Then I called again the next day asking that my card be refunded. To this day, I have not had any kind of response from them, and I have not been refunded for the service I never received. Don't try to book an appointment here! They will take your money and you'll wind up having to negotiate with your credit card company to get it back.
