04-2025 Venti Nail Studio in List Best 19 Nail Salons in Pasadena, CAPink Nails - South Pasadena Jessica Lopez: Ive love Pink Nails. Ive been going there for almost 10 years and my nails are always beautiful when I leave.
Aria Nails Lounge 3 - South Pasadena Tanika de Souza: I took my husband today to get his first mani pedi EVER! They did an excellent job. He was comfortable and that says a lot. They do serve beverages during your service which was nice. He had the Deluxe package and enjoyed the scrubs and stones.
We dont live in this area, but if we did I would return.
He did not get any polish, but another lady was getting her nails done and they looked great.
Twinkle Nail Studio - Pasadena 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!
JadeBo Nails - Pasadena GG Sauvage: Henry and Hana were amazing! They have impeccable attention to detail and made sure I was happy every step of the way. Great energy, great work, and great prices :) I also love that they open early! I will be back for sure. (I had gel removal on nails and toes, builder gel on nails, get mani & pedi, plus French tip design on nails and all of that was only $95!)
The Basic Nail Shoppe - Pasadena 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.
Summer Beauty - Pasadena 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!
Lee’s Nail & Spa - Pasadena Lusine: The place is filled with inexperienced "nail technicians" that have no idea what they are doing. Owner has a big attitude problem, as well. Went to get hard gel removed. Not only did they burn my skin by applying a ton of acetone every 5 minutes, but they didnt even take it all off. I also got cut. Avoid coming here. So not worth it, AT ALL.
*UPDATE*
In response to the rude business owner, I have eczema. You guys initially wanted to put both of my hands in a plastic bag filled with acetone and wrap it in a hot towel. Why would you soak my skin in acetone in the first place? I came for hard gel removal not my skin to be burnt off. Your employee kept sticking my fingers in acetone for over a whole hour, as well. Barely any drilling done which is the most important part of removing hard gel. Take the energy with that attitude of yours and put that in training your employees to do their jobs correctly. Worst salon by far in Pasadena. Maybe even California at that. Also, here are some “lovely” images of what the result was for my “gel removal” - horrible job. Thanks for making me bleed as well.
Nailbox Pasadena - Pasadena Lila: Unfriendly service!! Three of us went to get basic manis and try the place out. Two of us ended up upgrading to gel manis because they “normally only do designs for gel mani.” So ok fine - we went along with it. My sister, who stuck with the basic mani was done with her “manicure” in less than 20 min. The polish was put on sloppily and the color was so thin on her nail you can see right through. Not at all worth going in for a rushed, sloppy manicure - the technician rushed through her service then when and layed on a pedicure chair to browse on her phone for the rest of the time we were there. We noticed they had clients waiting outside for a mani and she didn’t even bother letting them know she was free - she just layed on the chair and watched stuff on her phone; ignored those people.
My friend simply asked if her technician had “put alcohol on both hands” and her technician snapped at her - giving her a ridiculous attitude for asking a question. She then proceeded to lean into the technician next to her and say things in their language. She leaned in to say things in their language pretty much any time my friend talked or asked something (and she was asking politely mind you). It was obvious she was talking about her.
My nails turned out mediocre - with messy uneven polish on the sides and bottom of my nails. We left feeling jipped out of our money. It was supposed to be a fun day out with the girlies trying to find a new nail spot we might want to start frequenting. But there is NO WAY I want to come back here.
The only aspect of this visit I liked is the plaza where the salon is located which is a cute alcove with chain lights above. The store fronts are pretty with a European architectural feel.
Seriously don’t come here and waste your hard-heard money. This place is a disgrace.
Bonsoir Nails - South Pasadena Team LP: I am loyal to Bonsoir Nails because I have been going to them for about 18 years and Tina and Susan are the ONLY people I trust with my eyebrows. They have downsized and moved locations, but I still get the same comfy
massage chair and attentive, careful service. They take pride in their work and will go to great lengths to make sure you are happy.
