List Best 19 Nail Salons in Pasadena, CA
03-2025 Lumi Nail Studio in List Best 19 Nail Salons in Pasadena, CAGloss Nail Spa - Pasadena laura jonason: Rude staff, overcharge compared to other places. They charge waaay more for kids than other places and wouldnt give my kid the foot bath that comes with a pedicure, so my kid was really bummed to miss theur favorite part. My kid also wanted alternating nail colors so they charged extra (didnt say anything about extra until it was done).
For me, they put a few inches of water in the basin for the pedi. Just felt penny-pinching and cheap as an overall experience.
Theres plenty of better places to go, with friendlier staff, a better mire luxerious experience, and more reasonable prices. Id skip this place.
Edit/update: 2 days later, my polish is flaking off (a lot). Never had had polish flake off after 2 days. (See photo)
Emblush Beaute - Pasadena Malia Baker: Emblush is my favorite nail salon that Iāve ever been to. Iāve been a loyal customer for years and think they have everything going for them. Incredibly easy online booking system. Easy going, friendly competent staff. Iāve never felt unwelcomed or uncomfortable and there hasnāt ever been a design they couldnāt do. Its fast and painless and I couldnāt recommend them more highly
CoCo Nails - South Pasadena Rosezetta Upshaw: This was probably the best manicure Iāve ever had. So perfect and shiny and so GENTLE!
I came 3-4 times before writing a review. I had a different person each time. Everyone was really good. Amy is the best! There are 2 Amys lol Ask for Amy with the short hair. She is very sweet and friendly and an absolute perfectionist and so very gentle with removing the powder dip and filing my nails. Thank you Amy!
I also love that they have self-serve water bottles and snacks bags (doritos, nutter butter, etc) in the front. I rarely eat junk food but I still think itās a nice touch. Maybe add a little trail mix for me. :)
This place is recently under new ownership. I stopped coming years ago when the previous owners ran it due to a nail tech having a bad attitude. These new owners are doing a great job and Iām happy I can write them a glowing review.
The prices are reasonable. $50 powder dip. $28 pedicure. I got the $40 upgraded pedicure and I appreciate that it did come with a lot of extras: scrub, cream, hot stone massage , hot towel wrap, etc. to make it significantly different than the basic pedicure.
L Beauty - Nail Salon - Pasadena Rebecca Avanesian: Crystal did a great job with my birthday nails! We both loved them so much. I got a GelX set with the design for $100 total. I recommend making an appointment. The prices here are the same as my old place in Old Town, and this salon is better! Nice techs, clean space, cute interior. Plus, free street parking!
Sun Nail - Pasadena 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 youāre looking for a place that values both artistry and cleanliness!
DJ Nails & Spa - South Pasadena Sonia R: I would give zero stars if I could.
I went in for a gel pedi last Sunday and the nail tech left me with several cuts on my toes that took nearly a week to scab up (meaning it was an exposed wound for several days). I also requested a callous remover, and that resulted in super dry and cracked heels that make it nearly unbearable to walk. I should have just asked for my money back after paying. Save your money and go elsewhere. Itās not worth the literal pain.
Nails Spa & Lashes by Tammy - Pasadena allie walling: I started coming to tammy and her wonderful staff in 2022 for my very first gel manicure for my wedding. since that day i havenāt stopped coming! every time her and her whole staff put in work making sure each nail
is perfection! yāall been sleeping if you havenāt visited tammy and her team!
De Lacey Nail Salon - Pasadena Jenna Manheimer: Excellent pedicure! I got the Special Pedicure ($40) that includes callus removal and a five minute massage, and was so impressed by the attention to detail and impeccable service. The young lady made my feet so smooth and soft, while the polish and shape of the nails are perfect. I did have to ask her to round my nails after she had already made them square and she kindly changed them.
Jasmine Spa Nails - Pasadena Katherine Twomey: First time at this nail salon and I was very impressed. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I got structured gel nails and a gel pedicure and both were absolutely fantastic! I used to always do dip at other salons and it always looked thick and chunky this structured gel looks beautifully thin and even and it is still as strong as the dip. They did great shaping and cuticle work too! I would definitely recommend going here! : )
Honey Nail Spa - Pasadena Jamie: I had been getting dip done for over a year, because I had heard that if youāre going to get your nails done, dip is the least harmful to your nails.
I recently moved to CA and wanted to stop getting my nails done. I came here for them to just take off the dip. The lady doing it was super nice but used the buffing tool so hard on my nails that first of all some of my nails are bruised underneath and hurt pretty bad now, and secondly are the thinnest they have ever been (and I used to do acrylic).
Had I seen the other reviews before, I probably would have gone somewhere else, but the convenience got me.
