Pre-pandemic, they had a lot more employees and willing to bend back and forth to get you in. Nowadays, make sure you have an appointment. This is a mom and pop shop that's been here for over 30 years, so their methods and processes are a little old fashion. Don't get me wrong, pedicure and manicure are all done properly, but just don't expect the newest trend coming out of here. read more

Clean and very nice staff. It's better to call ahead to see if they are busy. Giving them a heads up is a win win for both. I come here and do dip powder, I really like it, looks natural. Best way to describe is that it's like gel but slightly different because they are using a powder dip. Love the massage chair and my favor pedicure gal Tan, she is amazing and does a wonderful job. read more

I keep coming to this place since it's geographically close to home, but every time I come here, I regret not going somewhere else. I've never made appointments at a nail salon but at this place, you HAVE to make an appointment. Apparently, this place is sooooo busy that if you don't, you'll have to wait at least (AT LEAST) 30 minutes. And that's on a good day. I decided to come on a Tuesday, avoiding the weekend crowd. I still ended up waiting 30 minutes at a place that is fully staff. On the bright side, the staffs all spoke English and are all very courteous and nice. Unlike most nail salons I've been to, most of the workers would talk obnoxiously loud in their language. At this place, the workers are professional. No inappropriate comments or behaviors from the workers and the clients. This made up for the waiting time. The result of their work unfortunately is very inconsistent. Sometimes they're really good and other times, it's bad. More bad than good. Even when it's good, I wasn't super happy with how my nails turned out. There's always an obvious flaw somewhere. For a regular medi and pedi with no additional services is $35. Other places are a lot cheaper and faster. For instance, Exotic nails (two blocks away) is only $25. The results for both are the same. read more

I went to C and L for the first time today for a manicure and pedicure. I will definitely be a repeat customer! I was at a restaurant last week and started talking to a woman who is a regular at C and L. I'm so glad that I started talking to her because I got just what I wanted. The pedicurist (Lem) was not rough on my feet and, unlike every other pedicurist I've seen, did NOT attempt to scrub areas that did not have calluses. The manicurist was also very good. read more

We were in desperate need of a pedi on a late Friday night and C & L were open. Past their normal time. I usually pay around $17 for a pedi and they charged $23, but I thought it was worth it. It was a spa pedi so you got to sit in a big, massage chair. The lady doing the pedi did a great job and the leg and foot massage was excellent. Will I return? I would say so... read more

My nail place for over 10 years had closed down so I thought to give this place a try. Was I ever disappointed! The manager handled my acrylic fills and before she had started I said, "I like my nails short and square. As she was about to finish with the filing, I noticed how the shape was not even close to what I had in mind. I told her that I was unhappy with the shape. In return she gave me a typical defensive response how it's my fault for not telling her I didn't want them narrow. After a few moments of silence, she took out her kit to make my nails look square the way I had requested. Of course the service came with an unsolicited educational how I should tell the technician next time that I wanted my nails "square"! ‍ hmmm I thought that's what I had said the moment I sat down!! ‍ Long story short, i had requested gel polish, but since she had to correct her mistake and redo my acrylic, SHE decided I should get regular polish instead! She even charged me $3 extra for something that should had been done right the first time!! She definitely didn't deserve the tip I left either!! I will definitely not be going back there, ever!! read more

Very close to where I live, which I love. I recommend an appointment during peak hours due to how busy they get. My first stop here there was about an hour wait. I left and cam back the next day at a slower time (no appointment). They employ a lot of people so service is quick. I was able to get a mani/pedi at the same time. They offer a nice variety of nail colors to choose from. The chairs, decor, and over all business is very clean and well maintained. 5 stars to the lady who did my pedi! She was very gentle, thorough, and made pleasant conversation. My pedi has lasted very long. I will ask for her if I go back. The lady who did my mani was a bit rude, rushed, and irritated when I asked her to fix a nail she messed up on. She got polish all over my cuticles, too. She started off nice but then keep huffing and shaking her head whilst she fixed my nail and cuticles. I will avoid her when I go back. I take off a star because of her. I recommend this spot! If you have an issue with one person, don't let it deter you. They have so many on staff. I will definitely be back :) read more

It doesn't matter where you go, they're going to talk behind your back in their native language anyway, why not go to a place that does a decent job? C&L Nail Shop met my expectations and provided the services that I came looking for. I wanted a pedicure, and that is exactly what I got. The experience was relaxing, and they did a thorough job. I came into the shop first thing when they opened, and it was already full of people (given, it was the weekend.) I was still able to get in as a walk-in without a wait, which was excellent because I had work at 11:30. My usual place in Sierra Madre is cheaper and offers a foot scrub with their pedicures, but since C&L was closer to my home I thought I would give them a try. I would definitely be back if I'm ever in a pinch because they do an excellent job. My only qualm would be the parking, it's small and fills up quickly! read more

I'm battling with the rating and the overall influence is poor customer service... I almost made it a two and pending on how long my gel mani lasts I may come back and adjust the rating. There are waaaaaaaayyyyy too many things going on. They are doing pedi and manis at the pedi bowls and normally that would be a good thing but bc of space they are on top of each other and literally she tried to polish my nails on top of my jeans... Are you serious?! Then there are so many people doing more than one thing... I started out with one person closed my eyes and then she was gone and then she came back and then I closed my eyes and she was gone again and minutes liter someone else appeared and there was no conversation of why... She was apparently rushing and her "bowl side manner" was not the best.... She quickly told me she knew what she was doing... Again, are you serious?! I think she's the manager and her name is Lisa... She didn't talk to "other" people the way that she talked to me ... So much stimuli that is funny... The guy who was doing my pedicure was so caught up in what was TV I think he forgot he was doing a pedicure - he was really relaxed about it and every-time i opened my eyes & as he noticed he would put a little more mmmph in what he was doing.... Like clockwork. He was nice and a lady who did the lady's pedicure next to gave me a cookie, she was so sweet and I loved the way she was engaging. My sister-in-love swears by this place so I'm sure it's better on most days however my experience is truly a 2 however the clean space and modern fixtures made me bump it up. Ohhhh they were soooo consumed with getting me out of the chair he barely got my shoes on before cleaning the bowl with my still sitting down... He asked me to move my pants over and commenced to start spraying bleach .... My pants better not come up with no spots later... Again... A interesting experience and I'm not that impressed with the nail job and the pedi was okay. Gel mani is a little clunky and as you can see on pic with two nails things that should have clearly been a part of cuticle remover were still there in the end... Sigh. Oh... My water was NOT warm enough and they blamed it on the water heater and basically kept moving on like I had to suck it up. A regular just came in complaining of the opposite and from the back comes a pitcher of water of her choice to balance it out... As someone said in other posts regulars are treated like queens while newbies get the scraps. The opposite of the Sprint effect: read more

First time here i can give more than 10 stars very clean and very nice job from Leen and Jemmy…read morethank you so much I well back again

I want to start by saying that as a local who genuinely tries to support Pasadena businesses, I was…read moreexcited to find this salon. My first experience was positive. The salon looked beautiful at first glance, the staff were kind, and the service felt less rushed than many other places. Unfortunately, by my third appointment I began noticing significant concerns. The salon did not appear clean or properly maintained. There were openings in the walls with exposed plumbing, tools appeared to be reused between clients without proper sanitization, and there was even a communal nail brush in the bathroom that was later used on me during a service, which raised serious hygiene concerns. Another issue was the atmosphere toward customers. Many clients seem hesitant to speak up because there is a pattern of being talked down to when expressing preferences or concerns. I specifically requested Serena, who I was told was the owner. I came in for birthday nails and what should have been a relaxing appointment became stressful. During gel removal, my nails were rushed and chipped significantly. No nail strengthener was applied despite me requesting it. I asked for a simple French tip, but the result was thick and not what I expected. When I politely explained that I was unhappy with the look, I was not accusing anyone of doing a bad job. I simply said it was not the result I wanted. Serena immediately pointed to the cameras and asked if I wanted her to "run the camera footage." I told her no and repeated that I just did not like the outcome. She then told me that whatever I chose next "better be right" because she did not want me coming back unhappy. The interaction felt aggressive and unnecessarily confrontational. I always make an effort to respect service workers. I arrive on time, I am mindful of appointment schedules, and I consistently tip 20% or more because I believe people deserve appreciation and respect. When I came home and showed my husband the nails, he went back simply to discuss the issue and request clarification regarding the pricing because we believed I had been overcharged. Instead of trying to resolve things, the conversation escalated. Cameras were referenced again, he was told to contact the owner, but the number provided was unreachable, and when he requested a refund the interaction became more hostile and police were threatened. At that point it stopped being about the money. It became about how customers are treated. There were also concerns regarding pricing transparency. Credit card fees are added and customers are strongly encouraged to use Zelle or Venmo. While the initial prices appear affordable, additional charges quickly add up. I wanted this to be a salon I could support long term as a local. Unfortunately, between the cleanliness concerns, sanitation issues, lack of professionalism, aggressive responses to feedback, hidden costs, and overall treatment of customers, I cannot recommend it. I would suggest looking elsewhere for a cleaner environment, clearer pricing, and a more respectful experience.

I first went in here in February and have been wanting to leave a review ever since! I wanted to…read morewait to make sure that the nails were good for their full life because previous nail salons have given me a cute nail that ended up breaking within the first week. That has not been the case here! I've gotten my nails done three time and each one has been extremely cute and has lasted me at least 3 weeks before I ended up going back for another beautiful design! The vibe inside is very clean and calm. The seating is not overcrowded either, which I love. Crystal and Lynn have been extremely helpful every time I've gone and have provided both quality customer service and quality nail service. Long story short, this is my new go-to spot and I will continue to come here for as long as I can

While hanging out in Old Town, my friend and I decided to go get some pedicures. We called this…read moreplace and they were able to see us right away. They had about six pedicure stations which all happened to be occupied on Saturday night. It wa very sanity which is of course of the utmost importance when it comes to a nail salon. The pedicure chairs don't have massages which I was looking forward to, but it was still fine. The ladies here were all really nice. My regular pedicure ended up costing me $30.

Ever since I was introduced to this place I haven't left. The staff are so professional and…read morethoughtful. I usually go to whoever is available and have never had issues with the nail techs who have done my nails and pedi. They've even suggested helpful tips to the way I do my nails which have worked well. Hard gel overlays are the way to go! Thank you ladies and shoutout to Evelyn for doing such an amazing job! You are very talented. Would highly recommend this place and their tools are clean.

Ok, I was really hoping this time would be better. And it almost was! I finally got the design I…read morewanted and I do like it very much, but two things are causing me to lower my review. 1. My partner and I booked Olivia and Evelyn because of their excellent reviews on Vagaro. But upon arrival, my partner was directed to Olivia and I was seated with Sylvia without any acknowledgement of the change. 2. More importantly, I've been working hard to grow out my nails and wanted to make sure I kept a good amount of length. But on her initial pass with the drill, Sylvia took so much length off of my thumbnail that it had to be filed below my fingertip. I asked for a round shape but because she took so much length off, I ended up with rounded squares. I'm really upset about the length. I will say my partner's nails look great, and if I decide to return (which is a big "if") I'll be sure to book with Olivia (and hopefully get who I booked with).

I'm insanely picky about nail salons, so the fact that I've actually stayed loyal to this one says…read moreeverything!! The spa itself is spotless, spacious, and never gives that rushed, assembly-line vibe. It's almost impossible to find work this good at prices that don't make you think twice. I honestly wanted to gatekeep my nail tech so I wouldn't have to fight for her availability, but she deserves every bit of hype, so here I am... writing a review. I've been seeing Boyoungand she's the only person I trust to get my nails right every. single. time. The quality is ridiculous!!!! I cook, wash dishes, travel, do chores, basically live my life with zero gentleness... and these nails do. not. budge. Scroll through my photos and you'll see exactly what I mean. I even posted my current five-and-a-half-week regrowth because I'm honestly terrified at how well these held up lmao. (dnt judge, I was on vacation)

My experience at this salon has been getting worse each time. From how dirty/dusty the salon is and…read morehow messy and crowded it is, and everything in between. The front reception person doesn't greet you, and now there's no check in/point system anymore...so what happened to all my points? You are not offered drinks anymore The workers are constantly speaking in another language, running around and bumping into stuff It has become a very unprofessional place I don't get what the point of cameras are inside the salon when nothing is being monitored and improved? There's too many salons to choose from, sadly, things have gone downhill here and it is no longer worth it for the amount of money they charge you.
