List Best 19 Nail Salons in Pasadena, CA

Maria-Elena Montalvo I am just so amazed on how welcoming and cozy the environment in this salon is! I booked an appointment with Renata and I am pleased to say that she does an amazing job! She is also very helpful, honest, welcoming and I love how she makes my day! She also did my daughters nails and I am so happy with her work! Estoy tan impresionada como Renata Trabaja! Puedo decir que encontré el salón de mi sueños! Hagan su cita con Renata! Es muy linda!

Hayley Witt Karen was fab! She made some recommendations since it was my first getting a non-standard manicure. She was so sweet and I love the cozy vibe of the salon. Pricing was super fair too! I will be back :)

J Lopez A little GEM that I have been searching for for over a decade!! All other nail salons in the San Gabriel Valley/Pasadena area noisy, unprofessional, dirty, and the technicians are abrasive. There is no sense of calmness or relaxation that one expects when having your nails done. Polished Nails is quaint, super clean, charming and it has a pleasant atmosphere. Karen does my nails and like never before, they are strong and healthy because of the care and products she uses. Attention to detail is a non-negotiable, she is so knowledgeable and takes her time. I finally have found my little piece of “nail” heaven.

Alice Chilingarian I was in the neighborhood and stumbled upon this little nail studio and decided to get a gel manicure and gel pedicure. My service from Karen and Reni was amazing! They took their time and treated me right! Thank you Polished, I’ll be back in a couple weeks for my next appointment!

Ariana Dominguez I unexpectedly found Polished Nail Studio via social media & I am so happy that I did! I have struggled to find a nail technician who takes their time with the service that they are providing. Renata is amazing at her craft & takes such great pride in her work. I always walk out of the salon with the best nails! She is very professional, friendly & her prices are extremely affordable. I highly recommend Polished Nail Studio!

Charlene K My new favorite place to get my nails done! I came here after a friend’s recommendation and they did an amazing job. I got a biogel manicure with cats eye polish and it lasted for a month! My nails have grown out so long and they’re still healthy. Looking forward to going back and getting some beautiful designs!

lara liu This nail spa is my top choice. Ive been a regular for six months, opting for a new style every three weeks. The skill of the technicians is outstanding, with a keen focus on detail. What stands out the most is that despite frequently changing styles and applying or removing gel coats, my nails remain undamaged. Their gentle approach, avoiding harsh chemicals for gel removal and being careful while polishing, truly makes a difference. The halo effect on my nails is a testament to their perfect gel application. I wouldnt consider going to another spa in SGV.

Vane I have got my nails done here for 3 years. The environment is comfortable. My nails always last for 2 months. Highly recommended.

Jayda Lobban check out Alice if you want great work for a fair price! She takes her time, so be prepared to be in the chair for over an hour. Personally I don’t mind because she’s thorough and a perfectionist. These are my natural nails with hard gel overlay. Cleanest hard gel application I’ve ever had done. I asked for Russian manicure and my cuticles have never looked better. She uses good quality polishes, she’s sweet and takes pride in her work. I’m so happy I found her!

Jin H That’s cutest nails I’ve ever done. The nail tech is so detailed and talented. And they’re so nice and patient. Love the place and I definitely will come back again.

Madisen Couldn’t be happier with my time here!! Alice is amazing and very detail oriented. Honestly gave me the best pedicure of my life.

Lin Zeng This place makes me feel very comfortable. They did such a good job with my nails and was super attentive to details. I sent them a photo of the nails I wanted and she did them better than the photo itself! Definitely will come here again & recommend to my friends/family!

Cindy Z I really love that. The staff is really good. They are patient and even I have many thoughts, they still help me to do that. I will come here again

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.

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 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!

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.

Jen Pino Always so impressed by the way my nails turn out at this salon. Its a wonderful and comfortable experience and I always get exactly what I ask for, if not more. I needed nails to match a logo for my business competition and they came through. These are gel x nails and I have already received so many compliments on them.

Jonathan Williams Mimi is simply the best!!!!! I’ve been getting my manicures and pedicures from Mimi for about six months now, she is super consistent and detail oriented. I interface with a lot of high propels and I always need to be at my aesthetically! Mimi never fails to amaze me with her talents, attention to detail, and consistency. If you are out and about thinking where to get your next manicure and pedicure done, Mimi at Royalty is your girl!!!!!

이슬기 I recently had the pleasure of visiting Royalty Salon for a pedicure and manicure, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! The atmosphere at the salon is luxurious and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind and pamper yourself. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring that I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. My pedicure was done to perfection, and I couldnt be happier with how my nails turned out. The quality of the service and the attention to detail truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Royalty Salon to anyone looking for a top-notch nail care experience. Ill definitely be returning for more pampering in the future

Jasmine Jiang I recently had the pleasure of getting my nails done by Queenie, and I must say, she exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked into her salon, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Queenies attention to detail and precision in her work truly sets her apart. Not only did she create beautiful nail art exactly to my specifications, but she also ensured that the entire experience was comfortable and enjoyable. Her skills as a nail technician are unmatched, and I left her salon feeling absolutely fabulous. If youre looking for top-notch nail services, look no further than Queenie! I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and talented nail tech.

Alisa Kim The nail techs here are super talented! Linh did such an amazing job with my nails (I can’t stop staring at my nails bc they look so good)!! My nails turned out better than the inspo pics I showed, and I’m super happy with them! I recommend this salon if you want quality nails and design for a reasonable price :).

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.

Donna Jackson I am visiting from NC and kinda got turned around looking for this salon. However, when I finally found it, I was very happy with my technician Jessie. She was very attentive and did a great job repairing one of my toenails, also she gave me a great leg massage. The salon was clean and spacious, also the bathroom was clean. Thank you, if I’m ever in Pasadena again I will come back to get my nails done.

Diana Rodriguez Im really wondering if the moat recent reviews are real. Based on my experience, I highly doubt it. My first time here. Theres a banner in the front that says its under new management and first time customers get 10%. Cool. The girl that greeted me turned on the foot spa. A young man approached for my hands and a lady for me feet. As they got started, the girl that greeted me placed not 1, not 3, but 5 color books ok my lap. I had one hand in a bowl and the other one being worked on. The guy had also placed a pillow on my lap. Weird. The lady made both my big toes bleed. One more than the other. They really shouldnt be allowed to dig into the side of the nail bed. They guys brush strokes were awkward and he pushed the cuticles back a little rough. It took more than 6 minutes for him to apply the first layers of polish (yes, I timed it). He kept going back and forth between nails stroking on color. When I went to pay, I asked the girl about the first time customer discount. She said that the place went under new management 10 months ago and that its no longer valid. Remove the banner. I added pictures the next day. I tried capturing the streaky job on the hands and terrible color job on the toes. Number of stars is due to it being a cute clean place. Im not going back though. *update June 1. More pictures added. Gel polish chipped and peeled off too soon and it looks like I have a little fungus.

Cristina Villatoro Sue did an amazing job. I told her what I wanted and she shaped my nails so effortlessly and they look wonderful! They also have a really clean space and make you feel comfortable.

Guadalupe Seror Love this place! The service is amazing! And they take their time doing my nails with care. They are very friendly and clean. Always available when I need them!

Xiaochen Wang I absolutely love Sun Nails! The salon is spacious and impeccably clean, creating such a relaxing atmosphere. The staff is incredibly patient and precise when working on nail designs, ensuring every detail is perfect. My gel nails always last a long time without chipping, which speaks to the quality of their work. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place that values both artistry and cleanliness!

Monica K I do hard gel manicures, and I won’t go anywhere else in LA now. I come here from Silverlake because I haven’t found anyone nearly as good. Recommended!

EMC I’ve come four times now, each time I’ve called ahead and had an appointment. Very important to do for this spot. They are busy and they care about the quality of their work. Today was my 4th time, they did squeeze me in and they did have a lot of patience when I asked about the nail colors. I really appreciated this. So happy to have found a local place!

Tracie Pham I scheduled a same day appointment and they took me on time. They did an amazing job from removing my gel polish, using clean tools, cleaning and buffing out my nails and pedicure, the mask scrub for your pedicure was so refreshing and cleansing, they did a thorough job cleaning out my ingrown nails in my toes, and neatly painted my nails. I appreciated feeling relaxed and cared for, not rushed! Quality work! This is my new favorite place for a mani/pedi!

Lana Waite Amazing nail places are few and far between, and Im so glad I started coming here. I love the attention to detail, precision, and the fact they take their time to do a great job. Thank you for doing beautiful work. ❤️ Nail services here are well worth the money.

J W Love my manicure here! My nail polish lasted for weeks! I’m so impressed! I’ll come here regularly from now on!

Cathleen Mraz My first visit to the Salon today. Friendly, welcoming, clean. I had a pedicure by Sandy. She did an excellent job, took her time. It was relaxing and peaceful. Ill visit again!

Janet C Came here for my first time today and Becky was really caring. It was really quiet and peaceful there. She fixed my nails from a previous salon that I had a bad experience with. Prices are also reasonable. I did a fill on acrylics love them! Thank you Becky will be back soon.

alec meyn I love Lumi nail studio! I drive 1 hour to come to crystal her work is so amazing. I’ve been coming with my sister for about 2 years now and I believe once you try Lumi once you will never wanna go anywhere else.

Bora I‘ve been coming here for couple of years now and there‘s a reason why! all of their nail tech’s are so meticulous and detailed and these nails just last WEEKS. I can‘t NOT come to them! all of the nail tech‘s are skilled and talented! ❤️ loveeee them!

Phoebe Lloyd Maybe the best nail place I’ve ever been too?! (though to be fair I haven’t been to THAT many). My nails are perfect and look amazing. They have all the things, and the lady next to me got the coolest nail art, they looked incredible. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area!

Athena Garcia-Gunn This shop is adorable! It’s brand new. Everything inside is new. The paint, the chairs, the stations, the products. It’s all chic, and simple and classic. The ladies here have been so sweet, so ready to jump in and take on a challenge. They also have a reward system that gives you a birthday discount and points. Highly recommend! It’s the kind of place that I expect will get very popular soon. I have dropped by twice, both times I was asked if I had an appointment. I think they prefer appointments! But they still took me in and helped me quickly. They also offered me water, and a beverage. They are very hospitable and talented.

Denise McKnight I was greeted warmly. Offered cold water. The service was fast and completed with neatness. The technician was polite and friendly. I can not wait to return. She kept the shape of my natural nail. She did not try to pressure me to get more expensive services. And the shop was not overcrowded and did not feel like a farm. The salon was so clean and smelled like a spa, similar to an experience I had in Palm Desert.

Devon Myers This place is fantastic! It’s clean, spacious, and well organized. More importantly, I got the best pedicure - by Chi. And Ann did a beautiful job on my nails. I don’t live close but may have to drive to come here - they are really excellent.

Val This is one of the best nail salons that I have ever been to. I went at 5pm on a Saturday and it wasnt crowded. The location is perfect as it is next to a lot of stores. I was sat down within 5 minutes. I went for a gel pedicure and paid $55 in total which is average for a gel pedicure. The color options they have are so beautiful. Chi did my pedicure and she was so sweet and made my day 1000% better. Will definitely recommend and will be coming back when I am in the area.

Beth Imai I’m so happy I found this gem of a nail salon. The location is easy with a huge parking lot, the inside is clean (looks brand new) with state of the art massage chairs and stations. My nail tech, Zen, was a real sweetheart. She is clearly loved by all the staff and she did a fantastic job on my nails. Thanks again!

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!

Malia Baker Emblush is my favorite nail salon that I’ve ever been to. I’ve been a loyal customer for years and think they have everything going for them. Incredibly easy online booking system. Easy going, friendly competent staff. I’ve never felt unwelcomed or uncomfortable and there hasn’t ever been a design they couldn’t do. Its fast and painless and I couldn’t recommend them more highly

Michaella Tate Felicia did an awesome job with my hair. She went above and beyond to make sure my hair was the way I wanted it. Felicia is friendly and makes you fell comfortably. If you ever want your hair done I recommend her.

Rebecca Chang The entire process of booking an appointment to checking out after getting my nails done was pleasant in terms of service. Every person I interacted with was kind. However, it wasn’t communicated to me that the nail design I wanted wasn’t doable, so the design I asked for was botched. I sent a picture of the designs I wanted via text message the day before my appointment to see if they would be doable, but I didn’t receive a response. When I went in on the day of my appointment, I showed the picture I had sent the previous day to the staff who sat me down. She called a nail tech over. The nail tech looked at my pictures and ended up switching with another nail tech, because she said she couldn’t do the design I wanted. The tech who ended up doing my nails was almost done with one hand before saying that she didn’t know how to do the design. I asked her to go back to fix some of the nails, and she did what she could. I communicated to her that the base color was too orange multiple times, but she insisted the color wouldn’t be too visible after she added the designs. The plus side was that I really enjoyed our conversations, and she was very gentle. She also spent some time color matching to the pictures I shared with her, so some effort was there. I dont think Id come again, but if I did, I’d wait to get a confirmation on the nail design before making an appointment.

Amado Ramirez I wanted to treat/pamper my wife for all the hard work she does. As a guy I never understood the importance of women selfcare until I came here. This establishment the moment we walked-in we were immediately welcomed and attended to by the staff. It is a very clean, professional, and relaxed enviorment. Seeing the joy it brought my wife getting her nails done has made me happy. Emily did an amazing job in providing great detail to her art and was very informative of her work which made us feel comfortable in what we were getting. I recommend this place to all my family and friends to treat their wives here!!! A++++

Leslae Crockom My hair appointment was amazing. Felicia was professional & warm. She made Shute I was comfortable and I loved my hair and that means the most to me. I will be back in 2 weeks. I am beyond satisfied

Trang Pham If you need a salon that take care of you from A-Z, this is the place. I went in very close to when the shop closes but they are so welcoming and accommodating me with both pedicures and waxing. The pedicure was quick, to the point, and looks great! The wax was beyond my expectations. She paid attention to all of the details even though its way past the store close hour. Amazing! Highly recommend!!

Fred This place is better than the other on the same street, the attention to detail by the employees is great, strongly recommend. Only issues is the seats need replacing other than that it’s a great place.

Fiona Wills PROARTISTFIFI I live only a min drive to Dynasty Salon, so when I googled nail salon near me this is the first to pop up. I instantly felt welcomed on my first visit. Nina the owner along with her sister Lily is absolutely wonderful to be around. Amazing services always. I get both gel-x manicure and pedicure with gel polish. Nina does my manicure and Lily does my pedicure, and I tell you my hand and feet be looking so beautiful when their done with my services. They listen and treat you with care and appreciation, and great customer services. Thank you guys so much for being amazing at your craft and sharing it with us.

Robbin Rae McCulloch Been coming for a good 8 years +. Always a great experience. Although everyone is great, Lily is my go to for pedi. Rose does a great mani and gel X. I appreciate that they have regular polish to match the gel colors. Clean, thorough, and great pricing. Free parking in back lot and plenty of free on street parking. Easily call and book an appointment, walk ins are welcome. Friday and Saturday get busy baby. I literally drive from LA to get my pedicures. Love them!

Naddie Zlatan Friendly and attentive nail technicians. I could tell that they have integrity and choose to not take short cuts. At a different salon in Hollywood the tech used the electric tool to take off the dip powder and my nails became extremely brittle and broke. I was happy that at Dynasty the tech (I think his name was Tony) took his time to carefully remove the dip! I truly appreciate when techs are patient and value their customers. I will be returning!

Lisowski Liz I could never say enough good things about Summer Beauty, Summer the owner, and my lash tech Lucky. I have been going to Summer beauty for a while. This was after trying 5 different lash places in Pasadena. I have also received other services like a manicure and pedicure from one of the nail techs. From the very beginning Summer has treated me like a family member. Everyone in the salon is welcoming and is very communicative. I currently work as a chef for some of the top restaurants and catering events in LA. I can’t put on mascara because the heat of the stove will melt it away. I also get photographed constantly. Lucky- my lash tech makes me look beautiful while still being able to work hard in the kitchen. One time I even burned my eyelashes off and Summer got me in to have them fixed the very next day. The reason why I went to Summer was because I was experiencing irritation, inconsistent results, and sometimes over the top work at all the other places I went to. This place listens to you. Also- my optometrist said that I had some of the cleanest lashes she’s ever seen and she doesn’t usually condone false eye lashes but mine are the exception. Honestly- I can’t even tell they are there. I don’t trust anyone to do my lashes at this point except Lucky. Summer is also always telling me about new products and was so willing to do my rainbow lashes for my burning man 10 year wedding vow renewal. Lastly- the massages at the end of service are everything- especially for a chef on her feet 10 plus hours a day! Don’t hesitate- Give Summer Beauty a call!

Allison Saviano Im just about at my 1 year anniversary with Summer Beauty - so Im pretty positive that I love them! I had originally planned on lash extensions only for a "special occasion" – but they do such a great job (thank you Helen!) and are so gentle with my lashes that I just keep coming back. I was initially nervous about stressing out my "natural" lashes... but no worries at all, my own lashes are still in great shape. I just feel more fabulous with my lashes from Summer! They know what theyre doing and they stand behind their work. Thank you!

Ana Cristina Aristizabal Cano I went in to do my nails, I had gel and wanted a simple regular manicure. The service was outstanding, people there were all so kind and they did a great job with manicure and pedicure. The place is super clean, nice relaxing music, and they have great parking options - so easy. I used their restroom and it was super clean. Very nice place, Ill definitely continue to go. They are open Monday-Sunday, they only close on Tuesdays.

Sam Love this place and Jenny is so awesome! My chrome nails came out fabulous.

Melissa Baltierra Tina was so great! Very professional and did my nails quickly but attentively. I highly recommend this place!

Wendy Zamudio So happy I found this place. Called to make a same day appointment & Jenny was very accommodating. Clean place, very friendly staff and Kayla did an amazing job on my gel manicure! Have a variety of services to fit everyone’s needs. Will definitely be returning!

Ellen Nile They did an amazing job on my nails and accepted my reservation last minute. I love the prices here! The salon provides a range of comfortable seating options, allowing you to relax during your visit. I wish I could give more than five stars! Love Jennys Nails As always, the gel nails are beautiful and one of the best manicures I have had in a long time.

Brian Walker We love Jennys nails. They do a great job & the staff is very friendly and professional.
