I booked the Mother's Day special Mom and me package for this Saturday before Mother's Day. The…read moregirl on the phone was extremely kind and friendly that was appreciated. However, when we came in, we did not get greeted - like at all and it was unfortunate because there was two ladies at the front desk Yolanda and Amarie (Amarie was helping another customer and her service seem great. I wish she could've been the one helping us.) on the flyer for the package. There were some add-on services that I had inquired about and that girl Yolanda pretty much told me she didn't know and never got back to me. Didn't ask if Manny the masseuse did not look into it for me it would've been a bust. He offered an alternative service as far as a foot mask. That was an even better option for us so we were pretty thankful for that, but if I had left it up to the other girl, it would've just been when it was . confusion and a whole bunch of nothing Yolanda was the girl that helped us again no greeting She kind of just waved us to the back, pointed at the robes ask us our shoe size and that was really it Once we were changed standing there awkwardly, she walked me into a room and left my mom in the hallway and then asked me. Did you tell your mom to come -I looked at her like girl I don't even know what's going on so why would I tell her to come once we went to the room? It was like again we were kind of just sitting there like what's going on a few minutes later she brought in a glass of champagne for my mom so we hung out there for about 30 minutes before they took us back for the massage. I think it was a really big missed opportunity to say "hello Welcome to aqua blue. My name is so-and-so thank you for booking this package" or happy Mother's Day whatever but she literally didn't greet us at all. My mom looked bummed that it was starting off with a really lackluster experience I paid $400 for this package You would think once they saw my reservation for such a package they would've at least acknowledged it in some way By the time we got upstairs, I was pretty frustrated with the service we were receiving -thank goodness Ruben and Manny were really friendly and helpful. It probably would've been lower stars if Manny wouldn't have been so unbelievably sweet, caring and compassionate. My mom was really struggling getting off her jewelry and nobody would help her. I have really long nails so I was struggling. Manny was the only person nice enough to attempt to help her and put it back on after the massage was completed To be honest for $400 I was pretty disappointed. Manny did a great job and I am very thankful for him. My mom was really happy with Ruben. But did I feel like I was there getting a luxurious experience for Mother's Day absolutely not! Did I feel like we were bothering them with a groupon package absolutely! The advertise these chocolates that they had, I asked about them they didn't have any available. It just seemed like a lot of missed opportunities and we were there the day before Mother's Day so any of the ladies that went on actual Mother's Day We're probably super bummed that they didn't have any of the accoutrement offered. Sad part is the following weekend. I took my mom to happy feet down the street and she got a foot and neck massage and I got a neck and shoulder massage and the total was $70 and to be honest I felt more relaxed when I was leaving there, then I did with aqua blue . I'm kind of glad I decided to do that because honestly, I was going to book with Manny again because he was amazing but with those prices to not be happy was pretty unacceptable. My dad passed recently, so Mother's Day had proven to be harder than expected. That's why I wanted to do something extra special for her this year by booking the spa. We have been to massage envy before and that's honestly where I was gonna go this time, but I was trying to do an elevated experience that was outside of a corporate place but honestly, I think even the value at massage envy is greater than here because again with those prices to not be happy it's just crappy honestly it took me a while to write the review because I didn't want to seem Like I didn't enjoy the time with my mom. I absolutely did. I just didn't enjoy the lack of customer service- if I was paying what I paid over there at happy feet this would've been a five star review but $400 later to leave unsatisfied.... All I'm saying is I'm down to spend some money and I'm down to spend some good money on quality stuff. I just feel kind of ripped off.

They were so accommodating and understanding. I understand they cannot always do that but I really appreciated it this time. The atmosphere is very calming and they offer a very comfortable robe to use while you are there. The facilities are super clean as well! My massage was absolutely amazing. Lulu worked on all of my focus areas plus identified other areas that she felt were really tense. It is a deep tissue experience so make sure you like deep tissue work before you book this massage. I one hundred percent would recommend this establishment to anyone! Super reasonable prices and great services! I will one hundred percent be back!

She does the best designs and is so meticulously and detailed oriented when it comes to the designs. The shape of my nails always come out right. I've gone to other salons in the past and the shape isn't right and the nail looks thick, but not here. My nails last longer and still look good after 6 weeks. I occasionally get a pedicure from them as well and they have a variety of pedicure options. The organic and lemon pedicures are great. This is salon is a 10 out of 10.

I give an extra star because Anna was so kind and gracious with my jelly manicure, but with Vi it was the worst service I've had after all these times I've gone- and I go here a lot. I came here for a Pedicure + Manicure. 1) The nail aesthetician (name is Vi) did my pedicure. First off, she was very rough with my toe nails and made one of them bleed. I didn't say anything in the moment because of the language barrier- and I already wanted to get up and leave but couldn't cus she was in the middle of doing my toes. 2) She only cut half of my nails on one hand. Thank goodness though because she cut too close to my skin on my thumb and it hurt. It was in the moment and already done. She also didn't ask me how short I wanted my nails. I understand that nails grow back so I didn't make a big deal, but typically the ladies usually ask how short I want my nails. 3) She painted my toes at first a color I didn't want. She painted them super clear nude- which in my mind I thought I was top coat. I told her the color I wanted and she came beck with a nude color (opposite of my pink color). So she had to remove the color and start over. Thank you to the other lady that was helpful. Sadly, idk if I would come back..and if I do I would not ask for Vi. I feel bad writing this review but this was the worse visit I had here and I tell people about this nail salon a lot. The second star is for Anna. Thank you for being kind and gentle with my nails as you could be despite my thumb hurting.

Found this little spot by using Apple Maps while leaving work last week. It was located nearby & my…read moretoes were in need of some love. Adequate parking available near salon, but no sign other than 'Nails'. I entered and noticed it was a full service salon for men & women. I think it's a business that offers contractors a spot to work & create their own client base. The owner of Heidis might be the property owner AND a nail tech. I needed my feet spoiled, so I ordered the Royal Pedicure. The entire process was just over an hour & included: gel pedicure, paraffin treatment, foot massage, leg massage with hot stones, chair massage with heated wraps for my hands & shoulders. There was a Korean face mask (moisturizing), but I opted to do it at home. Payment is easy - ApplePay or Zelle. While getting the pedicure I read a book, but once the massage started I just closed my eyes and listened to the different languages and music. The hum seemed very friendly The only negative was when a man who was familiar with the female nail techs came over & changed the tone from classy to trashy. His gutter style encouraged the women to join in by using foul language. Yes, entiendo y hablo español. The lack of professionalism was a turn-off and a good reason to find another salon instead of feeling excited that one found a gem.

We called many places up and down the peninsula and the prices were very high for the teams and even higher if we wanted them to travel and work at the venue the day of. We found Vanessa the owner of Studio Nine through one of her stylists Josh. Josh cuts my husband's hair at Furey's Old Town Barbershop and got us in contact with her. We setup an appointment and were not disappointed with her salon. Her salon has a high glam aesthetic that you cannot find in Salinas. Her prices are extremely reasonable and she is so kind and welcoming. The day of the wedding we had some minor hiccups with our ladies but mostly because of lack of communication on the ladies parts. One of them did not communicate the exact look she wanted so it was redone and another did not realize that the price they were quoted was the base amount and goes up depending on difficulty and length. So make sure that you communicate to your parties the prices are a base and to over communicate the looks they want. Overall however our ladies loved them! We heard raving reviews from all the ladies at the wedding venue when they arrived and they all looked absolutely phenomenal. The prices were reasonable and the location is a gem. I would use them again in a heartbeat for an event.

For my second visit I went in and decided to change the tone of my blonde and bring down my shadow root to make my roots look more blended (because I was lazy and didn't want to maintain it). The third time I went in to get a haircut and she did an amazing job helping me achieve something that framed my face well. This last time I went in to get a full balayage since my hair has grown quite a bit and she and Kim gave me my hair goals. I really appreciate the honesty and how willing they are to work with you in every step of your hair journey. I love coming to the salon because it has such a welcoming environment, every time I'm here it feels like I'm reconnecting with old friends.
