I am not a girly-girl. Let me repeat: I am not a girly-girl. That having been said, I work 7 days a week, go to school, sing in a band. My average day starts at 4:30am and ends at 9pm. And it has become quite apparent to me that I need some serious Me Time. It has also become apparent to me that my skin, especially at the ripe old age of 35, is nothing to be trifled with. So I have decided that every month, I'm going to do two things for myself: get a massage (yay $15 foot massages in San Gabriel!) and get a facial. I know NOTHING about skincare. My fine skincare line comes from Target. My extensive routine consists of soaping up my mug twice a day and throwing on whatever moisturizing-type thing I had in the medicine cabinet. Zits are treated with dirty looks, four-letter words, and OTC benzoyl peroxide. So I popped online to find myself an expert, and Patty at Tranquility seemed to fit the bill. Boy, were my instincts right. Patty (the owner!) is the type of skincare person I trust. She approaches skincare the exact same way I approach massage therapy-- therapeutically. She solves your skin problems, and solves them well. This is no foofy facial (but it felt damn good nevertheless). She microdermabraded, she exfoliated, she serumed and moisturized and assured me that eventually my dumb stupid acne scars would go away with proper care at home. She was incredibly professional, treated me like an old friend, answered all my questions, and knew her stuff backwards and forwards. She told me what I should do to take care of my skin in the interim, and assured me results if I was consistent. And you know what? I believe her wholeheartedly. The place itself has a relaxing atmosphere and is immaculately clean. Prices are extremely reasonable, and there was no hard-sell for products. I was incredibly impressed with Patty and Tranquility, and this will officially be my Monthly Facial Place for as long as I can afford it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go show off my exfoliated glowiness. read more

Residents of La Canada are very lucky to have a full service spa that is well priced in our small town. After having tried many pricey spas for all kinds of services, I am happily a regular at Tranquility for skin care and waxing. Patty (owner) and Dawn Marie are lovely, unpretentious, honest and know their business very well. Having taken my olive skin for granted, I finally decided to treat those brown spots that I earned baking in the sun. Was told that no serious procedures were necessary, just once a month facials and a daily home ritual of cleansing, glycomer and moisturizer. I knew that I could stick to this simple plan. In a few months, my skin had a healthy glow and I began receiving compliments regularly. Its been well over a year and my skin is clearly showing the benefits of this care. Waxing services are done discreetly and painlessly. They even referred me to a wonderful nurse for laser hair removal. Tranquility is clean, serene and well priced. Advance appointments are necessary but they are accomodating and flexible with their scheduling. Try this wonderful little gem in the Foothills and you'll be a happy regular client too. read more

Marion was such a caring, expert technician. The results were excellent, and I will be returning the next time I need beauty services. I felt pampered and safe under Marion's gentle care! read more

I've had three of their Microdermabrasian facials here and they are the best! The first one was with Patty- and I thought no one could match her... Yesterday, I met Marcia- and all I can say is, wow! My skin felt so clean and perfect afterwards. She is really skilled, tells you what she's doing step by step (seems obvious, but some facialists don't do this!), and I felt so relaxed afterwards! Great place and people! read more

Lynette is amazing! She has completely transformed my skin and cleared it of breakouts! Every time I leave my skin feels so soft, plump and is glowing. She is fully educated on every product she uses and answers any question I ask her. I couldn't be happier with my results and will definitely continue going to her! read more

UPDATE: I've been meaning to update my review...A few weeks after my unsatisfying experience, I got a call from the owner. She apologized and seemed to genuinely want to right the wrong. I was impressed that she took the time to reach out to me and offer a complimentary facial, including microdermabrasion & glycolic peel, which she took care of personally! She was very friendly and took her time, explaining all the steps beforehand. I'm considering going back...and might even take my son in too. Too bad my 1st experience wasn't better so I could give them 5 stars! [Original post, 12/10/14] A friend told me about a $89 SGV deal for their Ultimate Skin Care Package (includes 1 Hour Facial, Full Microdermabrasion Treatment, Glycolic Peel and Hydrating Infusion) and I decided to check it out. I'm a local resident and was curious to try it out because of the favorable yelp reviews and the fact that I drive by it all the time. I really wanted to like it. First, it took a day or 2 of phone tag to book the appointment since they seem to only receive/make calls between clients. Not a big deal. Second, I started about 15 minutes late (the lady was chit-chatting with the client ahead of me) and ended ~15 minutes early for a 1-hour appointment. The treatments ended up taking only half the time allotted, INCLUSIVE of the time it took to fill out paperwork and a few minutes of "tranquility" at the end where the lady left me in the room by myself to relax and change back into my clothes. I was surprised and puzzled because I was the only one there & no one was waiting. Last, I didn't feel any improvement in my skin after the fact. In fact, I broke out on my forehead about a week later but that could just be a coincidence/bad timing. Granted, I don't get facials/treatments very often so I have only a few experiences to compare to but I can do math and it felt like I was short-changed somewhere. Perhaps they were giving me "$89 worth" of services instead of the $200+ it would have cost to buy the services separately? Either way, it's false advertising and a bit annoying. The facial and the facilities in general were ok. I don't recall if the lady gave me her name but she was a little older. She would have been fine if she had taken the time. I liked the shoulder massage part though. 2 stars because there's convenient parking. read more

I came here last Saturday for my facial massage. My appointment time was 4 o'clock so I got there by 4 . I knocked on the door several times and I also called the number I made an appointment on. No one answers but the light was on so I knocked on the door again . Finally, one lady (she had dark blonde hair and she was very rude) opened the door for me and asked why am I here...i told her that I'm here for my facial appointment ..By now, its 20 mins past my 4 o'clock appointment time!! She rudely states that no one is here and that's it...no apologies, a simple sorry, nothing. I saw the great reviews and all 5 star...why did i get the cold shoulder? Unsatisfied and hugely disappointed with the customer service. read more

I have been going here since the very beginning and i love this place. Besides Patty who is the of the best, every aesthetician there is amazing. Today, I had the pleasure of being pampered by Rita. I absolutely loved her! She was amazing! Very thorough and genuinely caring! She took a lot of pride in her work and reminded me of a person that would have been trained at the Ritz. My sister actually had her as well and she was in mouth dropping awe as well. I was afraid at first but, her attention to every detail was so perfect! I coyldnt have asked for a better facial. I truly was glowing and completely relaxed when i left! So happy! read more

I had a Groupon that was about to expire and called Tranquility to schedule a full set of lash extensions. They were so attentive and accommodating - Lynette came in on a holiday Monday! She explained everything so I knew exactly what I was getting. Then she spent hours carefully, expertly gluing each lash. The results was amazing. I barely had any of my own lashes at all - what she achieved was just short of miraculous! read more

The reason I came here was because of a Valentines day gift card for a spa treatment. But quickly I fell in love with the work of the AMAZING PATHY! And I've been coming here monthly. I was so irritated and ashamed of my skin and the results are just amazing so much so that others even notice and compliment me about it!! Don't hesitate! Treat yourself to a relaxing day and start your journey on a healthy and glowing skinnnn!! Don't forget... Ask for PATHY!! read more

I have been seeing DawnMarie for several years now! This review is long over due. I love the LPG treatments, they have done wonders for my cellulite and overall appearance of my skin. I also get the eyelash extensions, which are amazing. They look so natural. I get compliments everywhere I go. Dawnmarie is amazing. She does my eyebrow and bikini waxing, LPG, facials, and eyelash extensions. She is a perfectionist, and I leave happy every time read more

LOVE Lynette! I was hesitant to get a facial after bad experiences where i just felt like no one could do the job I was looking for... after seeing lynette I am definitley going to be a regular! The room is clean, cute and very peaceful she does a great job paying attention to detail while making you feel complete relaxation! I had been struggling with breakouts however I left with my skin feeling so great and woke up to glowing skin the next day. A facial with Lynette is worth every penny! read more

I have had facials in different places, but when I heard about Tranquility and Lynette I thought I give it a try. I am very picky and my skin is very sensitive, that said, what an experience . Lynette was incredibly good and professional. She answered all my questions patiently . I sure recommend anybody to her, I can't wait for my next session . read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I was recommended to Patty by a friend and I couldn't be more grateful! Tranquility is so cute and relaxing and Patty is beyond amazing! She's know what's she doing and what you need. I've been going to Tranquility every month for about 2 1/2 years and it's made a HUGE difference, I'm addicted. I always leave feeling great and looking forward to the next visit. I've recommended Patty to a few friends and they're also hooked! It only takes one visit to fall in love with this place! I highly recommend! read more
