This review is long overdue...oops! I stopped in here December 2019 randomly, because I happened to be in LA and needed a quickie manicure before jetting off to a friend's wedding. I was SO pleased by my manicure. They took their time to do my gel manicure perfectly and the shop was super nice and clean. The peachy color was so cute and looked great in every light. I got so many compliments. I can't find this nail color anywhere now, so I might have to trek all the way out to LA for it again! I would absolutely recommend this nail shop! read more

Be careful of this place. They love to give a different price over the phone. They give a good price when you call but once you are there and ready to pay after the service they will just tell you that they made a mistake over the phone and forgot their pricing.

Idk how to feel about this place. I know they just opened and stuff but I got a pedi and I was charged to remove the gel even though I was getting gel again. I never paid extra for that? My full set looks decent but for what I paid it could have been better . I paid over 100. I don't think I will return but if you're desperate and need your nails done I guess give it a try . They make you sign a waiver and they check your temp. Tania kept coughing under her mask I hope it's not corona js! read more

I would say this place is solidly middle of the road. The pedicure looked great, but the gel manicure left my nails pretty rough at the ends (not that big of a deal.) Their prices seemed reasonable and they were willing to see me without an appointment and were very nice. read more

Stopped by because I noticed the $35 mani pedi with salt scrub and massage sign hanging in the window. I really don't get my nails done that often but I had a fading gel pedicure that needed to be removed so decided to check this place out. I didn't have an appointment, it was fairly busy when I got there but they were able to accommodate me. It's a pretty big nail salon. I had fairly low expectations given that I just walked by and the price was good. Danny did my nails. The salt scrub and foot/hand massages actually felt pretty good. The massage chair was cool as well. Nail polish was applied evenly and my cuticles were trimmed without any pain. He buffed away some of the skin on my heel but I do feel like there is still some dead skin left. It's definitely not a luxe kind of place but they are nice enough and I don't need a whole lot to feel pampered. Minus a couple of stars because I noticed that my fingernails were not filed smoothly, they are a bit uneven after the trim. On the plus side, I think I found a new favorite pink neutral shade - OPI mimosas for Mr. and Mrs! I was charged $40 instead of $35 but I'm assuming maybe it was because of the extra time/effort spent removing my gel toenail polish. Overall, met my expectations given the price. I'm fairly satisfied with my nails but I wish my fingernails were filed more smoothly. read more

No thanks! The girl I got was super lazy. She didn't trim the cuticles on my hands AT.ALL. and it has been MONTHS since I last got my nails done...There were also pieces of nail dust all over my nails and she still proceeded to paint over them. I kept pointing them out and told her that it'd probably be easier if she just redid my nails instead of picking it out. Guess she didn't understand what I said because she tried to paint over another speck. I stopped her and pointed out all the bumps on my nails and that's when she just redid all my nails. I felt bad but there were too many bumps for me to not be bothered by them in the long term. The stone massage was a joke. They take a hot stone and just rub it on the sole of your foot. There's no pressure at all. The paint they use is also cheap, I've never had a top coat peel on me before. In a sheet! It's the oddest thing...it leaves a glossy part to your nail and a semi-matte part... SKIP!!! read more

I rarely write bad reviews. I love giving compliments where they are due, and helping businesses get more business if they do a good job. With that said, I am giving two stars for this place, as an average between my experience and my friend's good experience. My friend who brought us here is a long time repeat customer so perhaps that is why she had a better experience (which should never be the case). My nails were nice, but I got gel and they chipped immediately after I left the store. She did give me three layers but perhaps they were still too thin, as this never happens to me. I went back to get it fixed and the lady told me she could tell I bumped it. She basically blamed me for GEL nails getting chipped. Lady, they are supposed to hold up if they are bumped, and secondly I didn't do anything crazy after I left the store to cause it to chip. Blaming your customer and giving her attitude...never the best way to go. The whole point of gel nails is so they last through regular wear and tear (especially the same day!) She HAD repainted one of my toenails the day before that I had smudged as it was drying, and I take full responsibility and appreciate her fixing it at that time. After getting my nail repainted, a few hours later my thumb chipped. I didn't go back this time to get it fixed. Once again, not blaming her as it is probably the nail polish itself, but perhaps this brand just needs extra coats (orly). Secondly, we had paid for our friend to get her nails done, including tip, as a surprise treat. I am not sure if she told my friend that tip had already been paid, but she had no problem accepting more tip from my friend. Thirdly, I hate when people paint the cuticles and then use a brush to clean it up. My pedicurist did this. It never looks as nice as being careful the first time and not painting the cuticles. If you hate this technique, make sure to let them know you want them to be careful the first time around. The whole experience just left a bad taste in our mouths. I'm including pictures so you can see the nails. They look nice but we really could have done without the attitude. read more

I got my nails done in preparation for a banquet and graduation and needed a place in Pasadena nearby. I found this place on yelp and noticed a lot of people praised Tanya, so I put in a request for her when I made my appointment, and she assured me I would have Tanya work on my nails. When I came in early (1:45ish) for my 2pm appointment, the place was completely empty except Tanya and two other technicians, so they took me right away. It worried me though that it was so empty. However the two other technicians began working on my manicure and pedicure right away once I chose my colors. The technician that did my gel manicure, Lynn, was very friendly, but after a few minutes she and the other technician just spoke Vietnamese with each other. I had thought that Tanya would be doing my nails, but she ended up helping another customer that walked in for a manicure. Overall, they both did a great job on my nails and I would go again if in the area. I do wish they had a tv or something on because I had nothing to do while the technicians talked to each other. I have no issue with them speaking with each other in Vietnamese but I just wish I had something to keep me occupied. read more

If I could rate this place no stars I would. I made an appointment for 12pm today for two people. When I get there there's 3+ seats open and we get seated. Some time goes by and the water for the pedicure is cold so I asked them to put warm water again, and they did. It's 12:30 and there was no sign of us getting helped. Absolutely ridiculous... And they try saying you should've made an appointment but that was the first thing I told them when I arrived. I get that this place takes walk ins but at least accommodate those who have an actual appointment. read more

My first time getting a gel manicure. I booked a same day appointment on the phone. It was pretty easy. I came in on a weekday at 5:30 PM. I was the only customer in at the time and I was surprised there weren't more at that time. Anyways, the manicurist took her time cutting and pushing my cuticles back. It wasn't painful at all. I chose a very neutral pink and I was very happy with the results. At the end one of my cuticles was bleeding. But it didn't bother me since all the hand washing I do at work leaves my hands and cuticles dry. My manicure took about 40 min. I was pleased with this place and would come back again. read more

Best Nails & Wax is right next to my office. I was at work late one day and heading out of town the next and really needed to get my nails done. The nail salon I typically go to was full and the one near the house I would not make it there in time so I decided to give this place a shot and was thankful they could fit me in. Pros: They are SO nice! All of the women in there are just total gems. The place was also relatively clean and they give a nice foot massage. Cons: Terribly small selection of polishes... very few OPI and Essie and most of the polish was pretty old. They also applied such a thick layer that it took forever to dry and as my nails were trying to dry, the polish on my thumbs all dripped down to one side of my nail creating a noticeable lump of nail polish on one side of my nail. Tips: You can park in the lot in the paid lot on Hudson or on the street. There is no free parking lot nearby (unless you were to park at Target and risk getting towed..). read more

Hands down, the best nail place I have come across in Pasadena thus far. After moving from Hollywood, I needed to find a new place and it has been a difficult task. After numerous other trials with mostly errors other places, I came across this gem and will loyally stay here as a customer. It may be a tad more expensive than some of the other places but the cleanliness, great customer service, treatment, and superb job makes it all worth it. They not only are the friendliest but the cleanest place by far! Helen is absolutely fantastic as well as Tanya and Miley. Tanya even provided me with cough drops to help my throat the last time I was here when I was sick! Beyond fabulous every time and it's now my third time coming here with no end in sight! read more

$60 for a full acrylic set is kinda highway robbery in my humble opinion, but at least the quality was there. It's been almost a week since I had my nails done and they're still holding up super well. It was easily the most meticulous manicure I've ever had as well. The manicurist was new (first day) and did a terrific job! Everything came out great and I left so happy with the result I didn't even realize I had just spent $60. So if the price point isn't a problem, I'd definitely recommend checking this out! read more

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.

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.

The studio is very clean and peaceful, and she is the only lash tech I've ever had who will wash her hands each time between moving from different clients. Such a small detail but so important and I noticed this the first time I came to see her. Her work is always on point and each time, I leave her studio with the best lifted lashes. I have even gotten a permanent bracelet done by her (called Love and Lock in the same space) and I've had it for years and it still looks perfect. 5 stars all around for Jen and Wax Boutique LA!

I have been waxed many times at other places and this was the most effective and least painful waxing that I have ever experienced. Not one hair missed! The biggest difference is that my skin had so little irritation -- I didn't think that the type of wax really made a difference and I'm used to having some skin sensitivity, but things felt 'back to normal' right away. Do yourself and your skin a favor and get on Ariana's schedule!

I'm usually able to get out within 15-25 minutes of my appointment time. Even if the pain is pretty high on the first time of getting waxed, Ariana is very gentle and the pain gets easier each time. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Jenny for years, and she's in a league of her own. She did my first bikini wax…read morewhen I lived in the area, and I was hooked right away by how skilled and gentle she is. After I moved away and tried other places, the difference was clear, long, painful sessions! When I moved back to Pasadena, returning to Jenny was a wonderful. Her technique is so precise and fast you're in and out before you know it, almost unbelievably quick and comfortable compared to anywhere else. She's also genuinely warm, down to earth, and easy to talk to. She makes you feel completely at ease from the moment you walk in. Every appointment feels like catching up with a kind friend rather than just getting waxed. Her personality is the perfect bonus to her exceptional skill. The studio is cute, clean, and super convenient with easy parking. After experiencing the alternatives, I can confidently say no one else compares. Jenny is the complete package, outstanding at her craft and a truly nice person. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I recommend her to everyone!

I was a little nervous walking in (I kept thinking of that scene from The 40-Year-Old Virgin movie), but Jenny completely put me at ease. She's super friendly, outgoing, and genuinely cares about making sure you're comfortable the entire time. From the start, she explained the whole process clearly and walked me through what to expect, including aftercare. You can tell she really knows her stuff, and she makes the experience as smooth (literally) and pain-free as possible. I'm a pretty hairy guy and thought it was going to be torture, but it really wasn't bad at all--and the results were great. She's also really respectful and appreciative of military veterans, which I appreciated as a veteran myself. That little extra recognition meant a lot. Jenny is awesome at what she does, and on top of that, she's just a great person to talk to. I'll definitely be going back to her for future services. Highly recommend.

My skin looked glowy for the rest of the day, but I woke up to no discernible difference. I'm not looking for miracles, but facials I've had in the past I can see the after effects of for at least a few weeks. Some turn-offs: -I could hear someone having a word-for-word, extremely loud conversation nearby the entire time -the neck/shoulder massage portion felt rough. I wasn't asked how the pressure felt once. -after the facial, I was immediately upsold to purchase skincare. I had to ask about the prices. I was also gently pressured to sign up for a monthly membership immediately, which is kind of wild for a first-time experience. I'm definitely looking for an aesthetician to form a regular relationship with, but I don't think this place will be it.
