Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Pasadena, CA

Mark Garcia Really good work and very nice people. I usually call ahead to make an appointment as they can get busy. They take great care of my Moms nails and sometimes I get my nails cleaned up after long trips. They do a great job and very friendly.

Melanie Savage This time my daughter was with me (her annual Christmas visit)?and everything was perfect! Thank you Tracy and Tina! And the lovely lady who did Kelsie’s pedicure (whose name we don’t know). Perfect start to Christmas!

Adriana Brunaczki Love it the girls are so nice and gentle I got a pedicure and gel x done

Keila Vizcarra I really like coming here for my “self-care” day. I usually get a pedicure with a foot massage. I’ve never had a bad experience here, everyone is so nice, and the prices are fair. This place is also very clean which is important to me. Definitely recommend coming here.

Nicole Parker I had been coming to this nail salon for years when I lived in the area and whenever I’m in town this place is my go to. I love Lee! She’s so sweet and personable, the only tech to touch my nails or feet. They’ve done done updates—the space is quaint and cute. Reasonable prices, about $30 for a gel manicure.

Laurie Gianquinto Great job, great prices, and nice people. So far, best around. We asked for nail art but she could not, nor did she offer another person to help.

Leonard Hinzo Extraordinary in all ways. I go weekly to keep my nails looking their best. After 10 years Dawn is now a friend.

Eunhyey Lok Ive been going to Dawn for my eyebrow threading for over 10 years! Ive tried other places, but no one else can shape my brows so consistently well. Also, shes gentle yet thorough so I walk away happy! Also, shes excellent with mani/pedis. Tons of experience, great quality and selection of colors. VERY reasonable prices for the quality! She is the best!

Christine Nguyen Amazing nails done by Dawn! Lovely service and wonderful atmosphere.

Stephany Moreno I have been doing manicure and pedicure at this nail salon for a year and I have tried different manicurists and Sun is one of the best doing pedicures. She takes her time, cleans your cuticle very well, and if you have an ingrown toenail, she does everything possible to make sure you are pain-free. The owner Jenny is very nice and kind. The place is clean and the location it’s great, easy to find parking spot.

Kimberly Olivares I absolutely love Jen, she is amazing, sweet and with a great sense of humor!!!! She is very accommodating, and a good artist. Favorite nail salon in Pasadena

jessae brown Found my new local spot! Amy was amazing. I like short, pointy acrylic nails which most nail techs argue with me about saying I need them to be longer. Amy shaped them EXACLY how I asked and they look and feel perfect. I found both the mani and the pedi ti be great and decent prices.

Great Polina I had an amazing experience with my manicure at this salon! The work was done so carefully and flawlessly—it’s absolutely perfect. I’m definitely coming back. Huge thanks to the talented Bayarma!

Carolina McGarity The best salon I’ve ever been to! I am blown away. I came here for my wedding nails, got a Russian gel mani pedi. I got a chrome semi-shiny finish, it looked STUNNING and the girls were quick and very nice. And I kid you not — MY NAILS HAVE STAYED IN PLACE FOR 1.25 MONTHS AND COUNTING!! I’m adding pictures as proof, I can hardly believe it. I haven’t taken the gel off because I was curious how long it would last. Every single other gel mani I’ve gotten has lasted 2 weeks max! I wish I lived in Pasadena so I could go here all the time!!

Mariam Anneyan Services are way too overpriced, especially for gel x. 2 week retention for gel x nails is absolutely horrible. I havent had much of a problem before. The nail technicians are very talented at what they do, but the management there rushes them to fit as many appointments they can within the day.

arturo alfaro Honestly first time getting a manicure done due to my job making my hands always dry and crusty but hands down Montse gave me new hands after the manicure. I have never seen my hands like this before thank you for what you do. Her suit looks amazing. I will definitely recommend her!!!!

pine pickled Amazing experience. Reasonable prices for an incredible attention to detail and amazing artistic skill. I book appointments with Serena and shes never done me wrong, her work is always excellent and quick. Great at doing complex designs!

Maggie Vishabyan I’ve been going to Serena for over 10 years, and I’m so happy to continue with her at her new location! She always does an amazing job with great attention to detail. The salon is clean, welcoming, and the staff is always so sweet and they all do a great job! I always leave with flawless nails and tons of compliments. Highly recommend!

Karmen K I’ve been here twice, both with Serena and she is amazing! My nails came out so good! Definitely check this place out, you will not be disappointed!

Latisha Bender I came to JadeBo Nails for a full set with Tom and a pedicure with T. They were so kind, welcoming, and professional. The customer service was top tier. My nails were perfect. The nail salon is beautiful and large so there is plenty of room for the customers. They have an endless variety of nail colors and options. I would refer anyone! I can’t wait to come back for another self care day. Thank you JadeBo!

Kristen Neff Just had the best time at JadeBo Nails ! The place is super clean and cozy, and everyone there is so nice. I got a mani-pedi, and Anna and Tom did an awesome job—my nails look amazing! They have tons of colors to choose from too. Definitely found my new go-to spot for nails!

Natalia Escobar I came here for my first time for a nail fill. My favorite nail technician moved here and Im happy they did because the place is beautiful and very clean! They even offer complimentary beverages while you relax and get your nails done. The prices are good. Highly recommend.

Ana I love getting my nails done here! Everyone is very nice and they always provide high quality service. Also, my nails have never looked healthier. Fara is amazing and so are the other nail artists!

SEL Ive been coming to Tinzee for many years now and, although though these owners are new, the quality and customer service is the reason that, whenever I am in Pasadena, I make sure to book a spa mani/pedi! My mani/pedi picture is a week old, so you can see how it looks even after a week later! If only Tinzee would expand to the Central Coast! Highly recommend them!

Lynn G. My daughter and I tried this salon this morning and loved it. We both had a manicure and pedicure. The techs were very skilled, professional, efficient and kind. The music was soothing. It was a very calming and peaceful experience.

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.

Sidni Contreras Its sad I have to give this place such a bad review because Fifi does good nails, is quick and the price is really good. But oh boy is she a hot head! I always walk in, never have an appt as its always a last minute decision I make to go on my lunch break, and both girls who work there (there is only 2) know this. When I went in Fifi was busy, which I understood. The older woman said she had time, but she was working on someone. She had me sitting with foil on my hands for almost 30 minutes before she started taking it off. I felt so bad for the other woman who she was working on, but she was nice and understood I had to get back to work. The older woman started going back and forth between us and when it came time to file my nails, they were so crooked, I kept asking her to fix it but then she stopped and said Fifi would file my nails since she knows what I like. Again, I didnt ask for this, I asked her nicely to re-file my nails and SHE made the decision to pass it off to Fifi, who was already working on her next appt. I then waiting another 25 mins, when she finally asked Fifi to file my nails. Fifi immediately started yelling and the girl she was working on got up and said shed be back in 30 mins or so. Fifi stood up looked at me and yelled "I said I was busy, what you dont remember?". I was in complete shock. I couldnt believe she was yelling and I let her know it was uncalled for as I didnt ask for any special favors or even ask for her at all. She just kept repeating herself, yelling more and more at me. The poor woman next to me looked like she wanted to crawl under a rock. I got up and left with 3 crooked nails. Awful customer service, and its a shame cuz I really did like it there, but I will never go back.

Maria Paredes Love that place!!

D Miller Nice ladies! Made me feel important! Did an awesome job!

Shaunna Woods I love my nails. But its a bit pricey not use to paying 50 for nails

Ilda Flores First time here and i absolutely love my dip powder done by Kevin! He did such a clean job. Totally recommend it.

Jiavani Haynes I went in and got a manicure, just wanted clear polish on top when done. After Maya got done with my nails, she took it upon herself to pull out a buffer and shine my nails, didn’t ask if I wanted it or anything. After she was done, she charged me $28 for a basic manicure with no polish. She states that the $20 was manicure and $8 was for the shine buffer. Unmmm excuse me but I did not ask for that service, would I have been wrong to not pay the extra $8 for this service that I did not ask for. Watch them, they will do things and you’ll think that they’re doing it as apart of the service and will charge you extra when done. People like this, I do not trust and will never return ! Luckily I didn’t walk out and not pay her anything since she wanted to be slick. Not only that but my daughter got her nails polished by Maya and Maya made 2 nails with glitter on them “nothing fancy” and charged an extra $2 without even asking me to do it. This is bad business and I was hella mad

Jazel Arroliga I love this place! The atmosphere and people are amazing and it’s always a great experience. Tina is so kind and thoughtful, every time I’m here I feel so welcomed!

Dulce zeledon I really didn’t like my nails she did a dip powder left me some bumps the quality of that job wasn’t that good. And specially for the price $60 for only manicure deep powder. The receptionist was very nice and friendly the place is nice and clean.

Marie Moreau Great clean place for nails. I like the old fashion regular colors but they also do gel. You should see some of the gorgeous creative unique styles they do. It is truly an art form.

c hernandez Mary is so incredibly talented!!! She has cut and styled my hair for years and always makes me look like a million bucks. She also gives the most amazing pumpkin extract facials. While the mask is setting she even massages my arms and hands. She always goes the extra mile and ensures that you go away feeling you have had an amazing spa day!

Lisa MT I go to get my brows threaded here. Mary - there are two Marys, Mary in the salon is excellent. The other Mary in the area where they do nails is very nice and does good nails but I would stick to the Mary in the salon area for threading and all salon services. She is very friendly and understands your needs quickly.

sarah Mendoza I got my nails done here and I was not happy with the outcome. I believe her name was Tracy. I tried to tell her multiple times my nail was crooked and she just ignored me. She used waaay too much glue to the point were my fingers stuck to hers and I have a bunch of glue under my nail. The tip of my finger was glued to the nail. It felt very rushed. I asked for some jewels and she didn’t place them nicely, they were kinda just thrown on quickly and not really centered or spaced out like I had asked. For $70+ tip I was expecting better than what I got.

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.

Karen Bankhead Very friendly and excellent service! We are always satisfied with the result and they are very kind and accommodating with our elderly mothers. Easy to make an appointment and they are generally on schedule. Highly recommend!!

Hunter Mcilmoil They were able to take me right when I walked in, and Holly did an amazing job! She was sweet, courteous, very professional, and my manicure was perfect! I live out of state, but I would totally go back and ask for Holly next time I am in town.

Tabitha Kirkendall Excellent attention to detail, the technicians here are very clean and thorough with their work. I went in for a pedicure and received one of the best massages Ive had in a long time. The pedicure I received included callus removal, paraffin wax dip, multiple leg and foot masks, and my technician also ensured to remove a slightly ingrown nail Ive recently developed. At 9 months pregnant, I cant reach my own feet to do much TLC, so all the effort and care was much appreciated. For $50, this was a great value in my opinion. Will definitely be coming back for future pedicures!

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.

Marz Lund so sweet and patient and takes their time to make sure it comes out exactly as i imagined! i bite my nails so they were really messed up before i got them done but they turned out so amazing!! olivia is so sweet. will be coming here from now on. thank you!!

Lynda Apple Came here today for a manicure (gel) and pedicure (traditional ). I seriously think it was the best manicure Ive even been given. Lili is a true artist and so kind and personable. Whenever Im in town, Ill be stopping in.

L S Clean and professional! **Review Edit: 3 fingernails gel polish cracked and chipped 6 days after appointment.
