    Gel X Spring Set

    Another FRESH & SUPER CUTE set by Abby!!! I'm always getting so many compliments on my . Abby always does an AMAZING JOB and is so talented, I LOVE her work! I've been going to this salon for at least 4 years now and always recommend my girls here. Jenny is always looking out for me and lets me know when Abby works so I book my appointments with her. Thank you Jenny, good looking out. You the best!

    I am extremely picky - AQ is amazing every single time. Great service, take their time making sure your nails are perfect! I brought the family here for my daughter's birthday...and even my son and husband loved the service - they opted for extra massage. We love the spa-style massage chairs- beyond relaxing. The nail technicians never rush you, and unlike most nail place that give you just a quick arm rub, massage isn't 2 minutes, they give you a great massage when you book any nail service..I love the cat eye nails they do here super cute. I wish I had time to visit here more often.

    On 3/1/25 I was very excited to try out this nail salon since it was recommended to me. But unfortunately I did not have a good first impression. I wanna start off by saying I had an appointment at 11 but was advised to wait for an additional 20 minutes. I originally wanted hard gel and gel x removal. But I was cut through my actual nail exposing my nail-bed. Jenny unfortunately carelessly clipped my actual nail while trying to take off the charm I had on my pinkie. There was no apology made by her and I still had to pay for this service.I'm so disappointed and sad since now since I dont know if I can possibly contract an infection due to this. I really wanted to love this place but I guess today wasn't the day. There was no empathy or care in this situation.

    I mean look at this work of art!! Loved it!!

    Jennie is the best!! I've been coming for years to her and she does an amazing job every time!! Thank you Jennie

    Been coming to this spot since 2020. They never disappoint and they always are able to service you right away, since they are never crowded. Love how the nail techs take their time on you during your service.

    Per usual Jenny does an amazing job! I love love love my Halloween sets !

    Per usual Jenny does an amazing job! I love these Halloween sets ! She's very versatile , as well as the entire shop. Check out Cindy & Abby as well. As you can see in the screenshot , I'm consistently referring people to this amazing shop.

    AQ Nails Salon is my favorite place to get my nails done, just look at this last set I got by Jenny. I'm obsessed!!! I won't go anywhere else because I'm always happy when I leave here and the prices are very reasonable! You can see how close my nails look to the inspo pic

    I love going back to this salon! They are very fast, clean and detailed. I was out of there within the hour, which is impressive considering other salons I've been to. This set was done by Jenny which she did an amazing job! It's exactly what I wanted and I go back here every time I want a new set. I'd definitely recommend!

    gel chrome nails !

    I love this place-- I've gotten 2 sets of gel here and I have a really hard time describing what I want on my nails but these women are mind readers!! I had different ladies each time and they've done some amazing work. Also, this may come off as niche but this has been the only nail salon I've been to that plays interesting tv shows instead of the news! Honestly everything is just amazing. Teen girl approved.

    Tip: If you go to their website and enter your information, be prepared for a phone call by the end…read moreof day from a representative to help you book an appointment for whichever service you are looking for. I wanted to get a cover up done. However the artist told me my current tattoo is too dark to get any color work done and suggested I get some lightening done with laser removal. Which brought me here, laseraway. I saw a deal online about a discount and thats what sold me. I've been a client for over 2 years for laser tattoo removals. They use a technique to try and determine the length of treatment. I provided my history of the tattoo and location, size, etc. and they determined it would take about 17 sessions to fully remove it. I originally purchased 6 sessions with numbing and I didnt see any progress when it came to my 4th or 5th session so I added 4 more. Now, my sessions are almost coming to an end and I am on my 7th out of 10, the nurse said that it will all he gone if I added 3 more sessions afterwards. So a total of 13 sessions. Even with the numbing cream, each time, the laser will intensify to break down the pigment of the ink and deeper into your skin. They provide you with eye protection and a stress ball. They also provide cold air as they move the laser on your tattoo. Once they are done, they will provide you with some ointment, wrap, and an ice pack if needed. After each session, they recommend a longer healing time. I went from 3 weeks, to 4, 6, 8, 12...etc. so it doesnt get done immediately. My last 3 sessions will probably be 4 to 6 months apart. The reception staff are friendly and will try their best to upsell other services to you. Other than that, the facility is nice and has great air conditioning.

    Been coming here for a while now, probably a few years and haven't had any problem with any staff…read moreuntil this time this last service really disappointed me and made me feel very uncomfortable. The girl who was supposed to do my waxing was already in a rush, rushing me when I got in there and was presenting with attitude. She had a bracelet on that kept rubbing my eyelid when she was working on my eyebrows, and I had verbalized to her in a nice manner originally, but she was having attitude already at me and basically being pretty rough when it comes to removing the wax. And then she missed a few spot and when I pointed out that she missed a spot, she was giving me attitude while telling me to lie down and then when I got back up after she was done and told me that she was done, she looked at me and was like what are you doing? I still need to put cream on you. And suddenly I feel gaslit because she was the one who told me to get up and then she followed that by asking if we have any problems because I am making her feel very uncomfortable here while giving me attitude. When really I haven't really verbalized anything and I have barely verbalized my concern about the eyelid and that's basically because her bracelet keeps touching my eyelid because it dingles down. The front desk lady have said that she tends to have attitude for whoever is last on her list and I find a very unfair that they book her as my cosmetologist if they know that that's the issue. If they're going to hire employees are representing their company I sure hope that they evaluate their personality and their customer service aspect because that is the most important when it comes to these kind of role and if they're not happy and don't wanna work here, they really shouldn't take additional clients or they shouldn't have the job here. As someone who works in a place of customer service, I always make sure that I don't bring my personal opinions or emotions in. This whole experience made me feel kind of uncomfortable and also feeling like I don't really want to come back and make an appointment with that person ever again. By the end of the session after she gave me the mirror I told her she had missed a few spot. I mean, there were clearly hair in those area, and she clearly was very upset by me pointing at things that I'm just merely pointing out at as anyone would and she is just showing her bad mood and the environment that didn't need that. And after this time, she was done, she not only did not let me check in the mirror. She also told me that I am good to go. I am very uncomfortable I am very disappointed with my experience and I don't wish that on anyone. When I finally got to my car, I noticed not only a few spots but many spot that she missed and I can't really even walk in because I'm kind of scared and worried to really deal with her and I honestly don't want her to ever service me ever again . And I hope that nobody becomes her victim because that is just some rough waxing services watching someone having a resting bitch face and attitude the whole time when really I just want to come here to be vulnerable and did nothing wrong.

    I didn't have a bad experience, just an okay one. I got a Brazilian wax and it went great, it was…read moremy first time. The vibe was a little awkward though, since my servicer didn't really talk to me, but that could also be personal preference. I like when conversation happens because it makes me less nervous and has me feel less awkward. I also didn't like how to only way to really book another session for "cheap" was by buying a package and the packages were pretty pricey. You also had to pay almost in full if not half the package price when checking out if you opted for it. I also felt a little pressured into buying stuff from their little shop since my waxer was watching me and explaining everything to me and I felt awkward saying no. Again, just a personal thing, I'm a little awkward when it comes to that lol. I'm not going back, but just because I found a different place that had cheaper prices and a different vibe that fit what I was looking for.

    I had a great experience at SkinSpirit Pasadena and am so glad I came here…read more I had lip filler migration from work done at a different clinic, and Arie was able to address it in a single appointment. From the moment I arrived, the front desk was kind, attentive, and reassuring. Arie was amazing -- knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely caring. She took the time to carefully assess my lips, explain what was happening, and recommend the right dissolver plan. She also used a nerve block, which made the experience far more comfortable than anything I'd had before. A few days later, swelling has settled and my lips already feel smooth and back to baseline. I feel confident the issue was handled correctly and have already booked my follow-up with Arie. Highly recommend SkinSpirit Pasadena if you're looking for skilled, thoughtful, corrective care.
