Nail Salons 19 Reviews in Pasadena, CA (Part 2)

Christal Lee My first visit to another nail shop didn’t go as well as I hoped, but this shop was lovely. I felt more confident in asking for what I wanted and the tech executed the design to the best of their abilities. I am very happy with what I received and now will make a budget for getting nails done from now on ☺️

Mel Natian I had an amazing experience at DJ Nails! The salon is clean and relaxing, and Ashley is absolutely the best. She is professional, friendly, and gave me the perfect gel extension set. Her attention to detail was spot-on, and my nails look flawless. I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend Ashley!

Kyra Folk-Farber As always, got a beautiful hot gel manicure on Saturday, with the same tips I got at DJ Nails 2 weeks ago. It’s exactly what I wanted and I know it will last weeks. Yen did my last two manis, but everyone I’ve worked with at DJ nails has been excellent.

wanqi jiang 1. Please be careful. One of my fingers bled in the filing process 2. I wish they are more see through and repeatedly suggested they shall be more transparent. The technician says it’s impossible, but it is as long as you use more clear gel. Pretty much I feel she is in a rush to get it done

Jouslynn Technicians seemed nice. Good massage. Zero waste time. Service was rushed. I had to ask twice to remove the old polish- they never removed it all! They added acetone to the polish so it was dull and chipped the next day. The shop is a little ran down and dingy.

Brendali Maldonado I just got my acrylic nails done here. Pros...I love my nails! Also, they have Netflix so I caught 2 episodes of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee haha. Cons...she cut me 3 times. I didnt catch her name. She was very nice and super sweet. She even gave my daughter some gummy candies, but she was a bit rough. :(

Ivaylo Ivanov Copycats, had a booking at the real one as I used them in London and Dubai. My taxi took me to this place opposed to 235 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, where the REAL Nail’d it salon is - the most shocking bit was they were all too happy to steal me as a customer even I specifically stated that this is NOT the salon I intended to visit. Surely the owner company of the brand should sue this people for using the brand, even pictures and the name!!!

Marina Leung Walked in for a last minute gel mani since I had some time to kill. The person who did my nails took her time and gave me a perfect gel mani. Didn’t cut me with the file or cuticle nipper. Will definitely come back.

F C KIM was so meticulous/professional (She takes much care in her craft)and spent more than 2 hours on my nails and toes just clipping. (No mani/pedi for 5+ years) first time client with her and she was her own phenom. Gina the owner is also very charismatic as well as 35+ years of experience. Caring environment, quaint similar to Solvang, CA.

Kathryn Mello Love this place, very friendly staff, made me feel welcome when a lot of other places have made me feel like Im a nuisance

Jennie Marie This is an adorable boutique nail salon. Just Gina and Kim. We went for my friends 50th bday and they were delightful. We got tipsy of the white wine they served, but we gabbed like we were all friends. Kim did my SNS dipping nails, hands down best dipping nails I have had. Kim made them so light and thin, most salons have them to thick it looks like acrylic and I dont want that look.

Regan Boone Ginna is the best

Monica Bouffard Best nail salon around! The quality and artistry is top-notch! You get top of the line product every time and feel very pampered here.

Amanda Tran I’ve been going to Angel Baby for a year now, and I can honestly say it’s the best nail salon in Los Angeles. I have high standards for nail care, and Angel Baby consistently exceeds my expectations. Chloe is my go-to for nails, but I’ve had different people for my pedicures, and everyone here is amazing. The salon is always clean and tidy, which adds to the relaxing and inviting atmosphere. They’re incredibly attentive to detail, super gentle, and delicate with my nails, making sure I’m always comfortable. Their selection of nail polish colors and designs is fantastic, and choosing something new is always a highlight of my visit. I’ve even brought all my friends here, and they love it too! Quick tip: Pay in cash to get 10% off—there’s a small fee for using a credit card. Thank you, Angel Baby, for being the absolute best. I can’t wait for my next visit!

Janet Yepez I love coming to Angel Baby Nails! All the staff are friendly, the salon is clean and I leave very happy each time. Fifi is my nail tech and Lucy takes care of my pedicure! Give them a try, you will definitely be coming back

Molly Olson The Ladies of Angel Baby are lovely and they do exceptional work. I have high-maintenance feet, due to a bad habit of hiking in flip-flops (while too old for that) and looks at this! I am very happy

Kari LaBomme Ive been going to Angel Baby for about six years now. I have my favorite Techs, and they always try to fit me in, even without an appointment. Ive had everything from dip to acrylic tips and all kinds of pretty stuff. They do really good work and the atmosphere is nice. They are also upgrading all the time, the newest thing being an electronic check in system. Lucy has been doing my pedicures for almost five years and she takes such good care of me! Cindy runs a wonderful salon.

Nare Aleksanyan This is a great place to relax and make yourself beautiful. My nail lady went visit her country and I am grateful I found this place, it is very close to my home and Chloe ,the young girl who does my nails now, just amazing. Love how fast she is and how comfortable I feel with her. She does a wonderful job and evry visits with her makes me happy. My son loves the rainbow and he asked me if I can get a rainbow colors and it turned so beautiful, I was so happy to make him smile today!

Mia Tralongo I’ve been coming here for a while now, and each visit impresses me even more. Jasmine is truly an artist—I completely trust her expertise. I always get the gel builder, and my nails last over four weeks until my next fill. On top of that, Y2K is incredibly convenient, with easy parking, a clean and welcoming atmosphere, and fair prices. Couldn’t be happier!

Taylor Smith This is my 3rd time here and have had the best service each time. The nail technicians are super friendly and welcoming. I got a builder gel mani w/ paraffin and small decal and a gel pedi with a callus removal. Service was great and I am so happy with my nails! I’ve had gel in the past and they would last the full 2 weeks..they’d chip at the 1 week marks after getting the builder gel ( or I think it might be called gel overlay) my nails have NOT CHIPPED!

Gracie Parker Jasmine did my nails for a manicure and did a fantastic job!! She is so sweet and super careful to make sure there are no gaps in my dip nails and everything is even. Super gentle with the drill, and variety of payment options! My nails look amazing! The place is decorated very cutely and is clean!

Christina Olivas Omg Kristy was awesome! She did my gel xtension for me! So sweet and the service was awesome and my inspiration picture of my nail I wanted! The place is super cute and such a wide variety of colors! Shes super talented at her job! Very prompt at getting back to you as well! Im the type of person who is afraid to tell you if I dont like my nails, and her service goes above and beyond and she makes sure youre happy with what she does! Thank you again!

Cruzado Jessika I’m absolutely thrilled with the amazing work Jasmine did on my nails! She was so attentive, checking in with me at each step to make sure I was happy. The only downside is that I live a bit too far away, but I’m seriously considering making a special trip on the weekend just to see her again!

Karina Montilla Great place for Mani-Pedi! Came in with my daughters and they were able to take care of all of us. Super clean and very friendly staff. Everyone is super talented when it comes to nails.

Alecks Rod Best business practice I have seen. Love the way they know their clients and greet new ones. Came in for a Fill w/gel polish. Love it.

Rasika Kulkarni Amazing place! Good service, friendly staff and talented manicurists! I have been here twice and I love this place!

G A WOMAN INJURED ME. Do not go here terrible experience woman literally dug the nail clippers into my toenail and went so short she made me bleed. I’m furious.

Gabriella Aburto-Martinez Great nail salon! Its always clean and everyone is very friendly. Christine does an AMAZING gel manicure, shes an excellent listener and wonderful artist. The organic gel polish lasts 3 weeks without any chips and very little peeling. Stamped design by Christine.

Mark Hafeman I was late for an 11:30 appointment and called. She told me they would do a rush job on my mom because they had an appointment at 12:00. She said they also had a 12:30 opening. So I rushed in for the shorter appointment rather than wait. I even gave her a good tip. Then I realized as my mom’s nails dried that she didn’t have a 12:00 appointment because she was eating lunch. Since she didn’t have a 12:30 appointment she obviously could have gone slightly overtime since she did not have a 12:00 appointment and lied about it. I wish I had not given her a tip. I have other options next time.

Spurs Holsters Excellent service always going above and beyond to meet clients needs and expectations. Always leaving with a smile, great staff!

Doriane Service is great. They will have you in and out in an hour. No frills, no upsale. Thanks ladies. Keep up the good work.

Tara Eisenhauer Alice did an amazing job on my pedicure! Plus, she is super nice. Perfection!

Laura Diallo Excellence and professionalism are the hallmarks of this jewel of a Nail Salon. I have been a client for almost 20 years and NOTHING compares! Treat yourself!

csilla quiles Love this new location! So clean and easy parking. The owner has been doing my nails for many years and I recently followed her to this new location. The salon has a nice peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a professional nail tech and a no drama kind of salon. Sit back relax and treat yourself. I schedule my appointments for every two weeks and I always look forward to it.

Tessa Tweet So lucky this place opened up down the street from me! It’s cheaper than my old nail salon but the quality of service is better. These are my nails one week in still gorgeous! The owner is lovely and sh will touch up any issues I have for two weeks. Best Gel-x in Pasadena!

Paulie Davis So very happy Christie has her own beautiful, sparkling clean and professional shop. She has been doing my nails for at least 10 years. Id never let anyone else touch my feet, as shes the best at solving any ingrown problems that might arise. My podiatrist gave her seal of approval even!

Sandy Ta Christy provides great service and quality work! Theres easy street parking and the salons lavender purple walls make for a calming and relaxing atmosphere. Great pricing and super friendly staff!

briana guedea Love coming here for my gel manicures, Clean, Fun conversations, and over a good experience! All with my natural nails, for years it was hard to grow them out because they would get brittle, and break off but not here. They help maintain the health and strength of my nails!! 1000% recommend

Arfeniya Adyan Love this studio . They have their own unique technique . Everything is clean and sanitised . You can do woke in too . My nails grow after them .

Inna Inessa Obsessed with my nails as always! Karine is honestly the best at what she does and she is a perfectionist. Love her and her work so much. I’ve never left unsatisfied.

Armen Arakelyants If you want to grow your natural nails come here so lovely girls . Russian manicure techniques are the best .

Jessica Benjamin Came in as a walk in two days ago for an acrylic fill and pedicure. While I appreciate that they tried to squeeze me in, I ended up spending two and a half hours waiting on and off and being shuffled between multiple nail techs. Part of my gel nail chipped the day after the manicure and by day two half of the thumb has peeled off. Will not be coming back and would suggest others look elsewhere if you need nail services in Pasadena.

MzFoto J My 1st time visiting Elite Nails in pasadena. These are horrible! Took 2 hours for square and lumpy. They took $2 off with no option for a redo or fix...

Gina Ochoa Very nice staff, clean, a bit pricey. And I wish that they knew how to do more styles like coffin nails all that extra stuff lol but I see that they take really good care of their clients especially the elderly which I think is nice. Gets busy quickly, but parking isnt so bad.

Anathan Alvarado Have been getting my nails done here and only had my set for two months and when they took them off it was shocking to see green on two of my nails. They where so rude when I began to ask questions as to how this would happen and then to tell me I got water In them when none of my nails were broken or lifting. This place has the rudest people and their service is horrible.

Priscila L Reliable service, great place to relax and get pretty. They took me without an appointment. New, 5/20 Linda is fabulous! Same 10/28 awesome fall color

Kemberly Cantero I used to be a frequent customer but temporarily stopped due to an incident I had a couple months prior. I chose to go back because I refused to let one bad experience stop me from a really good nail salon. I want to say the misunderstanding came from a language barrier so I went back and everyone who works there has always been very kind and professional. They remembered me from the last time and they went above and beyond for me to make me feel like a valued customer. I was able to show a picture reference and then I was assisted by a very skilled nail technician who did a beautiful job. Thank you Lees Nail & Spa for making me feel welcomed and surpassing my expectations. My nails are beautiful and I appreciate the love and understanding that I felt today when I went into your business. I highly recommend.

Jeanette Rodriguez Ive been a long time customer 10years + Stopped coming for awhile because I didn’t have the $$ to pamper myself. Glad to be back!! Always on point with their services!! 10/10 recommend!

Jozlyn Hobdy Ive been coming here for about three years, and it truly feels like home. This is my go-to place for self-care. Jen does an amazing job with my nails, and Linda always makes my toes look perfect. Both of them take great care of me. I cant forget Tina, who always has my eyebrows looking fabulous! Everyone in this nail salon is amazing and does a wonderful job. I want to say thank you for always providing exceptional service and making me feel great !

Bryan Jick Long-term client of this business, formerly TK Nails. I go every few months for pedicure. Most recent visit was amazing! Huge remodel, the place is gorgeous. All new chairs, new furniture, and a bis-screen TV. There was even a football game on, which I joked about because I was the only male there. They did a wonderful job on my feet. Heres a fact, most of us take lousy care of our feet. We only go for help when they hurt. Preventive care is important but rarely done, even by me (Im a doctor)! They suggested some extra treatments, they scraped and chemically removed a lot of dead skin on my heels, and also had a device to shave my callouses. AMAZING. I only wanted the nails cut but when she showed me my heels - Ugh. $10 extra, well worth it.

Brittney Lee I’ve been going to Candy Nails for a little while, but ever since the new owner, Lee, took over, the experience has gone from great to AMAZING! Lee is incredibly dedicated to her customers and always goes the extra mile to make sure your nails are done with care and precision. She truly listens to what you want and never rushes through her work, ensuring you’re 100% happy with the results. What really sets Lee apart is her commitment to quality service. If your nails chip or anything happens, she will gladly fix them, at no cost or minimal charge. She truly knows what she is doing, as she was able to look at a picture of the color I wanted and match it perfectly. It’s so refreshing to find someone in the nail industry who genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Lee, for always putting your customers first and delivering such fantastic service every time! If you’re looking for a nail salon where you’ll feel valued and walk out with beautiful nails, Candy Nails is the place to go!

jennifer b. This is the best nail place Ive ever been. The ladies were all very nice. I had a pedicure with no polish, just a buffing and a foot and leg message. My daughter got gel-x nails. The woman hand painted everything. The entire experience was less $130. Less tip. They are having a special right now. We also were given drinks and at the end we were given a free beauty gift and bread. Im telling you this place was FANTASTIC!!! Oh, and the place is super clean and professional looking, but with the nicest people.

Angela Marquez Candy Nails since it was bought by new owners has been my favorite go to place to do my nails. Tina and the rest of the crew are so welcoming and sweet, they want to provide the best service because they care about their business success and the people who comes to them. Even my husband it’s happy to come to this place. Thanks for making our community feel so welcome. I look forward to doing my nails soon again.

Hilda V. Candy Nails is my new favorite go to place to do my nails. Tina and her crew are welcoming, friendly and attentive. Tina did my last set and designs, see pictures. I’ve received so many compliments! I highly recommend coming to this shop.

Nick Cole This place is great. Tina and her staff are so friendly, kind and creative when it comes to designs. Their prices are very reasonable (even with designs) and that is without a promotion. I have only worked with Mimi and Tina so far and they have both done a good job with my Gel-X nails. Tina did my last set and designs (see pictures); I have received so many compliments! I would highly recommend coming to this shop.

Kperry Perry This is my 3rd time coming to shop for Gel pedicure and I was disappointed with the service today. They’re pricey but I don’t mind paying when I’m satisfied with service. Today was mediocre and maybe because I came later in the day. There was not cutting of cuticles or removal and ingrown. I have never had to make a request for special treatment, it is part of the general service. Typically, you’re greeted and offered beverage and I even had to request this, something was off today and I will return because it may have an isolated incident. Overall , I like the overall cleanliness and services

Claire Castiglioni I had such a great experience here! It’s so clean and beautiful inside, every single person was so nice and they did a BEAUTIFUL job on my nails! Seriously, best shaping I’ve ever had. Never going anywhere else for my nails ever again

Cassandra Horine This place is awesome! They totally worked with me to get exactly what I wanted and did such a great job. Complimentary rosé was just the cherry on top! Haha Ill definitely be coming back again. So stoked to show off my adorable nails on vacation!!!

Dana Lebental they are the nicest & cleanest in Pasadena! I always leave so relaxed with beautiful nails. I almost don’t wanna post this because I don’t want more people to go there, but they deserve great clients.

Jennie Nguyen Had a great experience today. Their receptionist was very kind and friendly upon meeting. Initially booked an appointment online for a gel manicure, but changed it to a pedicure in-person, which was no problem. Lucy, my nail tech, was so gentle and checked in with me multiple steps of the way to ensure everything was going ok. They also had complimentary beverages. The environment was very relaxing. I will definitely be making this place my regular nail salon from now on!

Christina Flores Love coming here! Just a nice oasis of calm! All the ladies are really kind and attentive. Grace is a favorite and gives an excellent pedicure! Highly recommend!

Amira Parise Love this place. Me and my Bf go often. They run a tight ship here. Love the vibe and feel. They take extra care of you while youre in here. The manager is constantly checking in to see if we need anything. Great place.great color selection as well. Good products

Kara Vaggio While removing my gel manicure the manicurist wasn’t paying attention and filed my ring finger nail down to the wick in the middle of the nail until it was bleeding and didn’t stop when I was like stop! They’re really nice here but the manicures are generally sloppy if you don’t stay on top of them and then this was too much. They didn’t charge me for the removal and the manager was really apologetic and professional but this went way too far beyond the usual standard of just not paying attention to detail.

Manisha Ati Love this place. I don’t do anything fancy; mostly just gel mani/pedis and they do a great job. Prices are also reasonable. The ladies are sweet and it’s nice being a regular.

Jessica Mendez Great French manicure by the lovely ladies! Reasonable prices and very accommodating. Should definitely check them out!

Charles Owusu The atmosphere is great and the customer service is fantastic. I tried this salon because my nail tech was out of town, and Im so happy I did. This was my first time getting my nails done at Camay Beauty Salon and they were amazing. My nails turned our Amazing tonight. Associates do excellent work on both medi and pedi.

Morkodh Chhuon Camay Beauty Salon is an amazing and efficient shop. I would recommend anyone looking for a place that provides the best service and a warm family feeling environment to check out this shop. The pricing are reasonable, and the Nail Technician were very understanding and helpful.

Irene Okazaki Ive been getting pedicures regularly since they opened. Always the best service and attention to quality. The space is bright and clean and comfortable!

Bernial J Ive only had 1 other person work on my feet and Ms. Dian does a great job. I try to go every 6 weeks. Great location great staff

Cielo Coulson We go here very often and have always been shown kindness and they all take time on you and do it right! So happy with the service and even when we need help picking a color Dian is always the lady to call!!

Jeniffer Morales Very nice ladies. Super quiet as they have no music on. Everything looked pretty clean. You could tell the people that were in there were regular, loyal customers. UPDATE: 2 days later, I already had 2 nails break. :(

Angie Calcaterra This was one of the best manicures Ive ever had. The technician went out of her way to fix an issue Ive had with one of my nails for years--she smoothed out a peeling layer and made it look like a brand new nail. The gel manicure was perfect and my nails look great.

Katie Benoist I have tried alot of nail places in Greensboro and I have to say Vera has been the best nail technician I have ever had. My nails always look great when she is done, but more so than that…they last for weeks! I am really hard on my nails and usually they chip or break within a week, but since she has been doing them, they last for about 3 weeks. Also the entire staff is kind and makes sure everyone there is happy and having a great experience. If you are looking for a great place to get your nails done, this is the place to try!

Ty Papaya Super friendly ladies and nice service. I went for a $50 acrylset with a "classic" pedicure $39. Very thorough and I like the outcome.

Alyssa Kearney Hailey Nails is a small and well-kept salon. The employees are nice and everyone does a great job. I find myself always admiring their cuticle clean-up; its top-notch and never hurts. I recently took my husband to get a long overdue mani/pedi and he enjoyed the experience as well. Keep up the good work Hailey Nails!

Alvapriya Lucinda Hailey Nails is the best in South Pasadena. I have tried the gel manicure, and it lasts so long without chipping. The staff is friendly, and they are always on time with appointments.

Calista Lily Hailey Nails is a lovely, well-maintained salon. The employees are warm and professional, consistently delivering gestalts. Their cuticle clean-up is exceptional and never painful.

Krista Woods I’ve really enjoyed coming here. You can walk in any time in the afternoon. $37 for a mani/pedi is good in my book. They are clean, and are very detailed in making my nails look good. I like Vivian, and feel she is warm and friendly and professional. Also, the polish doesn’t flake early, like many other places I’ve been.

Lee YV (YVL) I wanted to give this place 5-stars. $37 for a mani n pedi is reasonably priced. The ladies there were very very nice. I took one star off for my pedicure. She didnt scrub or massage at all. Then i had to take another star off for the manicure because she cut my thumb and had to use that stingy solution to stop the bleeding. Ouch! Sorry ladies, you will have to do better!

Luna Love I went just a day ago to get a gel manicure, it was my first time going there. They still removed my previous gel manicure from another shop (which I am going back to because they were way better). They charged me $35 and I even gave a $5 tip. So total $40, which I usually pay at other shops but I get my gel manicure + a Mani & pedi for my little girl. The very next day...two nails completely peeled off clean...I have never experienced that with gel nail polish. Its usually a nightmare to get off. So $40 wasted basically, to have a manicure only last a day? Never coming back!

Madison Sturgeon DISCARD the reviews below. My experience was fabulous, the ladies were so kind and the service was AMAZING! Best Ive seen. Highly recommended and those previous reviews we from a while ago so things have dramatically changed. Great massage during getting nails done and also got a nice back and shoulder massage with warm lotion. LOVE LOVE LOVE this salon and their ladies. Definitely coming back.

Sheena Conjurado I came to this nail salon for convenience since it’s close to my house. I usually go to L Nails but decided to try this place. On my first visit, I got a manicure and pedicure, but the person didn’t properly remove my ingrown toenails, which became painful after two weeks. I returned to have them fixed and got a gel manicure, but the polish changed color the next day. Since I was on vacation, I couldn’t go back right away. When I returned, the manager offered to fix it, but the experience was uncomfortable. She almost yelled in Vietnamese to her colleagues about my situation, making me feel uneasy. Instead of being apologetic, she was condescending. The lady rushed through fixing my nails, leaving the tips sharp and uncomfortable, and I had to go to another salon to smooth them out afterward.

Jasmine Viel Best salon and staff. The service is always consistent. My pedicures are perfect. It’s clean and good prices. The owner is this beautiful woman and mother who works so hard and gets to know her customers by name. The salon also offers other services like waxing. Great location as you can go grab lunch or grocery shop afterward in the same plaza.

tina hsieh Just not worth the money. There are tiny air pockets on my nails. They were impatient letting me try on colors (I asked to try on 3). Gave this place two tries and won’t be coming back.

Mahsa Izadmehr I paid $68 for pedicure and manicure that I am not happy with it! You can see from the picture how bad she has done it (it is a picture right after I left the saloon). My hands were up in the air when she was polishing it, not stable way to do it! And look at my feet nail polish; how it easily destroyed after 30 when I got home! It wasnt professional that they talk non english together, didnt sound friendly to me! And the credit card machine wasnt working!!! I wont get back there! Not worth a money that you are paying!

Megan Ernst Ive been going to the Nail Lounge for ten years, and Im happy 100% of the time. The salon is friendly and clean, and the prices are very fair. Every technician Ive had has been experienced and detail-oriented. I think Nail Lounges spa pedicure, with a 10-minute foot massage, hot stones, and high-quality products is the best deal in town!
