Tropical Day Spa

This salon is so cute! Decorated like your favorite beach spot, the staff are all super friendly and talented. Prices are fair compared to the area and the owner definitely cares about keeping everyone happy and well pampered! Very impressed!
Ps: don’t mind the appearance from the street. That’s just DT Dallas.

Let me start my saying the people there were all very kind and sweet. I feel awful having to leave a bad review, but I know what a good spa is (having worked at spas for years) and this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had at a spa. I went to Tropical Day Spa for a Brazilian wax and in my lifetime I’ve only had maybe 3 Brazilian waxes total.
The table (or bed) was covered by a beach towel. Not what I’m used to seeing. Usually it’s a protective plastic cover. She had me undress in front of her which wasn’t a big deal for me because I am by no means a modest person but from other experiences I’ve had they usually leave the room and leave cleansing wipes for you to ‘clean yourself’ before they come in.
After I changed she didn’t use any cleansing oil to protect my outermost layer of skin from the wax, instead she just jumped right into the wax. I have one good thing to say, the wax actually didn’t hurt compared to the other waxing services I have had. I also watched her to make sure she wore gloves and used a new waxing stick every time she dipped into the wax and thankfully she did. But that wasn’t a big enough reason for me to ever come back again.
The room wasn’t clean either. I couldn’t breathe from the amount of dust floating around the room and right above my head was a huge spider on the light. If they don’t take pride in the area they work in there is no way they will take care of the clients that walk through the door.
Definitely not worth $ 55!!! I would NEVER recommend anyone to go there for any waxing services, and I certainly won’t be back!

Sweet staff, amazing massage at a more than fair price. Atmosphere was tropical themed and very cute. The manager was so pleasant. It was warm and welcoming from the start. My 1 ½ hour long massage was only $ 99 with a Unilocal check in. You get 10% off spa services with the Unilocal check in. They made this out if state visitor feel right at home.

The staff was amazing and extremely friendly! I will be coming back here my next trip to Dallas. They take the time to make your fingernails and toenails looks fabulous!

I’ve came here for a few months now for Ann, who does the Eyelash extensions, and she is just a sweetheart! I always walk out with amazing eyelashes!

I have never been so embarrassed. I sent two girls to you, one for eyelashes, one for nails and I was mortified to hear that one was stood up for her eyelashes appointment with a delayed notice after she showed up for her appointment. The other ended up with not cleaned up edges and an infected finger. I have never been so livid to hear these two events within the last two weeks. I will not be returning for these matters.

I loved it here. Complimentary mimosa and since it wasn’t so busy they asked me if I wanted to play some music. Which was awesome! Very exotic for a spa and it’s also two stories :) will come back. Two cosmetologist worked on my hands to speed up the process as I was running late from lunch. I am satisfied with the nails although my edges were left unfixed. Diana was amazing by the way, very friendly. She’s at the front :) I love her already

Atmosphere/​Experience: great downtown location walking distance from lots of hotels. A great time to come here is between 2 – 5 during the week. it wasn’t busy at that time. This salon gives more of a tie fly inviting vibe, with a tiki décor theme in a large space. Staff is very friendly and great at engaging their regulars as well as getting to know newcomers like myself. You are also offered complimentary wine or mimosas. Major plus. Looking forward to coming back!
Product/​Service: For shellac users, this salon offers the following brands-​OPI, JAR by OPI, & Gelish. Making an appointment was easy here, and was greeted immediately upon arrival. I needed a gel Fill and color change. Yen was my nail technician and I had an additional technician since it wasn’t too busy. They were very efficient and quick, and I didn’t feel rushed or that they didn’t care about doing a beautiful job. They took any direction or feedback very well specific to my preferences and my nails turned out beautiful.

Was in Dallas for New Year’s Eve and needed to get my nails done. Looked up on Unilocal and followed the directions to get there. I was not disappointed. From the minute you walk in the door, they take really good care of you. Great prices, and my nails turned out beautiful. I will return whenever I am in Dallas

I stopped in to get a pedi, no wait, super cool set up. The girl was nice but seemed timid and scared of my feet which made the pedi not as good as I’ve had but ok. The massage was nil. She did a great polish job. Wasn’t aware there were other options of type of pedi until I paid. The worst part was the lurking larger man leaning against the wall watching. Very uncomfortable. Good price for the service.

I love this place! The woman at the front door, I assume the owner, is so nice and helpful, she makes you feel right at home. I’ve been to pink toes down the street as well, it was about $ 10-​$ 12 more expensive for each treatment and I got more for my money here.
I chose the signature mani/​pedi and they still included grapefruit slices and rose petals in my water, choice of scrub (try the peppermint at Christmas!), and lotion massage too, without the extra charges.
I will definitely be returning. I plan to do my lashes here next week too… Review on that coming soon!

Just the right vibe — very relaxed and friendly — AMAZING pedicure with foot massage — best ever. Great music playing, complimentary glass of wine — could not be happier and totally recommend. Will return any time I am in Dallas. Great place, very chill but great work. What’s not to love?

The lady at the front desk told me that my manicure had dried and I was good to go, but clearly it hadn’t. She put some hardening spray on and sent me on my way. Alas, my beautiful nails smudged immediately! I was so upset. Secondly, I wish they’d do a better job of cleaning your nails (and cleaning out gunk under your nails) during the manicure. My manicurist just cleaned up my cuticles but all the gunk under my nails remained. Sigh.

I’m visiting for a business trip and came in to get a gel manicure and toe nail polish change; Twee was beyond friendly and was such a perfectionist. I appreciate the great work and customer service! :)

I absolutely love this place, first time and it was the best experience. So if you know the area you know that just around the corner there is another nail salon that has the neighborhood talking. So I went to the new shiny penny and receive a good pedicure and for me it was a bit pricey but what the hey, I get an IPad to use in the crisp white booth and sit in the trendy place cool. But I step into tropical day spa and immediately felt like I was on vacation. .cute…but the best part was, we were serviced on time, we were greeted with a friendly smile and offered an array of beverages. Nope not the best part, the best was the actual pedicure and manicure… superb. .and better yet we got 2 mani, pedi’s, cocktails, tip and excellent service for a little more than I paid at the other place for just 1… awesome! Thanks will be back. .2 weeks woo hoo!

I was travelling for business in Dallas and record amount of rainfall and flooding. What to do on a dreary afternoon when work was finished? Pamper myself of course. After looking on Unilocal and reading the reviews I set out to find the Tropical Day spa for a pedicure. An easy 3 block walk from my hotel (Sheraton Dallas) and I was there. It’s Saturday and they have a bridal party getting the works so I was told it would be a 45 minute wait for walk in. They offered to put me in a pedi chair, soak my feet and complementary drinks (yes — that means more than one).Since I was not in a hurry I was happy to wait. Excellent customer service, atmosphere, and product. You should go!

Very disappointed by the result. I got a gel polish change and when she was done you could still see my nails underneath, the polish was applied so thinly. I almost asked her to add a couple more coats but didn’t.
My nails started to chip within four or five days. When I’ve gotten gel in the past, my nails never chip, they just grow out. The polish was applied so thinly that after a week and a half I easily pulled all of the polish off with my fingers – no nail polish remover needed.
It was $ 25, which is pricey, but the service was amazing. Everyone is super nice and friendly. I just wish the result had been better.

Awesome day of pampering for Arden, Avery and me too!
Avery got eyelash extensions and they look fabulous.
She is also getting an «up-​do» for the Prom tonight.
Arden and I both had the Signature Mani-​Pedi.
This place does everything!!!
Highly recommend!

Wow great service, very good prices for what you get. They have a mani pedi offer for $ 42 includes foot soak, scrub & massage! The host at the front was very friendly and welcoming. The nail tech was thorough and did a good job. As for ambiance, the music was trendy and fun!

I’m an out of towner, and had 3 clipped gels. The ladies at Tropical were lovely. I inquired about the «dipping powder» and went for it! Photo speaks for itself :)
