Key words: acrylic, cost, skill Just moved to Alhambra and needed a new nail place. Walked into here by chance and now I'm planning to be a regular customer. This is the second time nick has worked on my nails - the first time was for a fill on someone else's work. Each time he handled my nails with care and precision. Constantly looking to see if the length matched my other hand, trimming the nails to perfection. I loved the attention to detail!!! I got a long regular full set and a regular pedicure. Altogether I paid $60 (this is minus tip). Prices I'm more than willing to pay for such a great job! :) read more

Decided to try a new nail salon and went in for a gel mani/pedi and I felt so taken care of! I've had a hard time finding a place that does a great gel mani, this is it! They really pay attention to details and everyone is very welcoming and makes sure you are comfortable and happy :) Great selection of gel polish color, everything was clean, they have liners for the tubs and they constantly wash their hands! I felt safe getting a mani pedi here during the pandemic, they also have relaxing music playing. . . the inside is very cute, peach colored with white columns! I will be coming back :) read more

Coco Nails - Nails!! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This nail salon is clean and comfortable. You'll need to be specific if you are picky about your nails. I almost always have one or two nails (hands and feet) that are filed at a slant. It's very annoying. I once brought it to the technicians attention and you can tell she was irritated. I mean at the end of the day you can't really do anything about it but just fix it yourself and let your nails grow back. And, the fact that they charge to take off your gel polish is ridiculous. read more

I needed a gel manicure last minute and they thankfully were able to take me, with service and they do a great job! I also left my credit card behind and they were kind enough to hold it and return it to me the next day. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Trust me when I say this! I am very picky with my nails! I just moved back from San Francisco and obliviously I needed a new nail to go place! My nails have found their soulmate! I am extremely satisfied with my nails that I had to give a little shout out to nick! Nick did such an incredible job; he was super patient and did exactly what I asked for with no questions, I am in love with my acrylic nails. Customer service was great and they are very professional! Definitely will be coming back! This is now my new nail salon! read more

I just tried the dip nail service for the first time and I am now obsessed! Nick did a fantastic job! The color profile is so slim, yet it's super pigmented. It's super shiny too! Book with Nick if you want flawless nails read more

Coco Nails - Love my dip nails by Nick! He's very meticulous about his work! And that's much appreciated. This dip polish is flawless - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Pros: - Massage Chair interface easy to control. - Upfront about their prices. Menu book on the desk. Turn to back page regarding prices for more economical services. Prices pretty consistent with normal South Pas prices. - They don't push you to do more services. - Water temperature for pedicure pretty good. They ask you if temperature is OK. - If you are wearing a dress, then they put a towel on your lap for modesty. - They wear masks. - Open Sundays, when a lot of nail salons are closed. Cons: - Parking difficult, although their is a lot in the back. - Little mosquitos flying around. - Bathroom and waxing rooms clean, but could be cleaner, if you are OCD type about cleanliness. Other info: - Very quiet and not too chatty with you, if you like that. - Tip only in cash. - Not open Mondays. - Nail tools are autoclaved. - Appointments fine. Walk-ins fine too. - Nail art is simple, if you like that. Michelle can do more complex nail art. - Music: classical, nice instrumental pop (e.g. Richard Marx). - TV: large screen with sports on, which was what was showing on the day I went. (Sunday afternoon). I had Minh for the mani-pedi, who was very nice, and did everything I requested. Overall, I would definitely come back. read more

Long overdue review!! I've been seeing Nick for my dip manicure for about 6 months now and he is always so consistent and such a perfectionist with his work. My nails have never been stronger and they last me 4-5 weeks if I let them get that long. No chipping or lifting, just beautiful work. read more

When I started to get my mani at this salon it was ok... I'd bring my kids along to get mani-pedis as well. The heavy Asian lady is usually in such a terrible mood my family and I decided not to ever go back. Not to mention she over charged us on our last visit. Life is too precious to surround yourself with a grumpy manicurist when you're suppose to be relaxing. We found another place on Fair oaks and it's the best. read more

My friend and I got manicures here for the first time yesterday. We got standard, not gel or anything fancy. I was really pleased with how our nails looked when we left and how gentle the manicure was overall! They made my hands look soft and new and even did a hot towel and lotion massage. It was like a little spa day for my arms! The salon overall looked a little dated and doesnt look like much, but I was pleased with the process and the results. For 2 manicures we payed 30. 15 each. I thought that was reasonable because my friend requested a glitter nail and they didn't charge extra. Places I've been to have charged extra for gliiter. I hope to return very soon! read more

Absolutely love this place! Came for the first time today and Min did my mani/pedi. Min is excellent!!! She took her time and did an excellent job! I have been to many nail shops and this is by far one of my favorites. Nail shop looks small from outside but inside is very clean and very nice looking. I highly recommend this place. read more

Coco Nails - Funny bunny opi - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

They do really good here Ive gone and tried other places and i keep coming back i cant find another place that does such a good job. You can get turned away if walking in when they are really busy so just call in ahead of time and schedule an appointment to avoid that. Ive done mani pedis nail dip and acrylics... This is my to go nail salon. read more

Their prices are ok for nails and they do pay attention to detail.if you're looking for detail this is a good place, But for me (just speaking for myself)I thought it was a bit much for gel nails. In my situation it was not nails I was getting it was just the gel color and that's it, my nails are also cut down to the nub due to the fact that work does not let me have long nails and I am ok with that. So it was just the polish i was just getting done on my actual nail only. So yes 40 dollars was a bit much. If it was 25 or 30 like it was once upon a time then I'd be good. So they got 4 stars just because they do do a good job and attention to detail. And I was about to 3 too but the work is good. That's what they got 4 read more

Went here for the first time a couple weeks ago. The salon is nice and clean inside. I tried sns powder dip nails for the first time. I love them! I usually get a gel manicure but my nails have seemed to be getting thinner. With the sns powder, it adds a hardness so that I'm able to grow my nails a little longer. They did a great job on application and it's going on three weeks and they still look great. I'm going in for my second time to day. I'm excited to pick out my next color. Oh and they a plenty of colors to choose from. read more

My go-to place. The price is definitely not for those on a budget, but I like to come here every few months to get gel mani and pedi for some pampering. I can always expect great, detailed service. The place is never overly booked so that the technicians rush on your work. They take their time, concentrate, and do a great job. I never feel uncomfortable here with rude technicians or feel like I can't express what I want. Parking in the front, back of store or street parking. read more

Found my permanent nail salon! Minh is the best at gel nails. I'm a difficult client, I bite and pick if i have no polish on and she never judges me if I come in with all my polish chipped and nails bitten. She does an amazing job at perfectly painting my short nails and making them look pretty! I try to go every two weeks, because thats my preference, but honestly these nails can last probably another week if not more. There are no chips and my nail is completely covered, reducing the temptation to pick Although my nails are always short, I've never gotten nicked or cut which is a miracle! The salon is also always clean, the staff are all friendly and nice. I always get offered a beverage while I'm getting sitting at the spa chair. I always see new tools being unpackaged right in front of me! I also love the scrub they use for the spa pedicure. Hopefully this time I'll finally grow my nails out read more

Annie was amazing. She took her time and really gave me a full experience (even included warmed up lotion massage after my gel manicure). Such a peaceful environment and I didn't feel at all like she rushed to get them done. They look beautiful and the place is great. Highly recommend! read more

Coco Nails - French gel manicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I've been here 2 times now for the SNS powder nails (apparently not a lot of places have it!) which i like since they don't use UV on your nails. I always get Michelle and she always does a pretty good job on my nails. SNS here is $35 which is pretty reasonable but that doesn't include any sort of manicure. She usually gets me in and out within an hour and she makes sure my nails look pretty good. I usually just call in advance to book my appt since I'm not sure how busy it gets and I'd rather not chance it and she never makes me wait as long as I have an appt! read more

This is the best nail salon in South Pasadena. Always very professional and their service is excellent. They always have time for you and are very courteous. I highly recommend this salon!! They always do what I ask them for and they do it great. I only do powder over my nails and gel polish and I always leave satisfied! They even offer a little water bottle! And the hand massage is heavenly!!! And the most important thing: it is very clean!! read more

Love going here. They have a lavender pedicure for only $48 that comes with like 4 different massages and lotions and a hot stone massage. That's such a great deal! Many other salons charge upwards of $65. They have great pricing and great quality work. Very nice and friendly staff. read more

I got my nails done last night and this morning they were already chipped. I'm pretty disappointed. I haven't had this happen to me before and today is Valentine's Day so I can't even go get them touched up.. read more

I absolutely love Michelle and Nick. They are my fave! Fair pricing for the service and the work. Nick does amazing acrylics and Michelle does the best dip! Minh gives the best pedis and best of all after every mani or fresh set on the hands down to the pedi's, they give you a mini massage. Clean and they keep appointments! It's not like other places where you make an appointment and then when you walk in you still wait! Nope! You can expect that they'll be waiting for you! read more

I called the South Pasadena Nail Salon on a Friday afternoon for an appointment in the evening. I was thrilled that they were able to accommodate me, and even more thrilled at the results. Nick worked quickly, but carefully. He stopped to ask if the shape of my nails and color that I chose were to my liking as well. Would definitely come back! read more

They are open, aside from an amazing job. Social-distancing and sanitation measures implemented. Employees are sanitizing as clients enter and leave. Friendly, cost is appropriate and most importantly they have been closed throughout so it's important to support. read more

Under new management. Good service & nice staff! I was skeptical about coming in, especially after hearing my fellow yelpers views, but I was running out of time. The main reason I was out of time was because my grandma needed to get her nails & toes done before a big family gathering, so I picked the closest place nearby. The place was well set, the people were nice and didn't rush us-they did a nice job. What surprised me the most we were in a rush and they were completely okay with it and still did a pretty job. We rushed them, but they made sure everything was done smoothly, completely, and in a timely manner-that's why I'm giving them a 5 star rating-for being so cool! Get the set deals; we got the spa treatment package and it was worth it-the price, service, people, and customer service will bring me & my family coming back for more come in quick; they have "Under New Management" special, get them while it's still hot. FYI: My visit was a few months ago. read more

Beautifully done by Nick. Powder dip nails. Great service, and i have been a customer for the past year before the pandemic. So happy to be back. read more

I have never been a regular at a nail place but South Pasadena Nails does such a good job that I keep going back. I usually get a gel manicure, occasionally a pedicure. The gel manicure lasts up to three weeks. I have been to other salons and have had gel last a little over a week. Plan to spend about an hour. Min is great at French gel manicures!! The staff are very friendly! read more

I've been living in the area for about five years now, and I love how everything is convenient l. I usually go to El Sereno to get my eyebrows done. Not only for the price ($7) but as well they do a great job. Since, the commute is different now. I decided to try S.P. Nail Salon down the street from me right next to HI-Life (which is really a great restaurant ). I stepped in and was surprised how big it was. I was greeted by a gentleman man and told him I wanted to do eyebrows. I waited about five minutes because she was attending to client. When I was with her honestly I felt so comfortable she told me what I wanted what she was going to do I loved how it was so private and had a closed door. That no one bothered her. (Which usually their are places that always having a side conversation ) but at the end I loved how my eyebrows looked and highly recommended this place read more

Michelle is absolutely fantastic. I love that she always checks her work and is detail oriented. My nails always look fabulous when she is done. I had my first gel powder manicure done here and I loved the results. My nails were flawless and lasted a long time. The prices are very reasonable and I would definitely recommend making an appointment a few days in advance since Michelle gets booked up. There is street parking up front or a small parking lot in the back. read more

Nick does a really great job ! Nails are done to perfection! It does take a while but worth the wait and for me even worth the 30 min drive to have lovely nails read more

I have to say Michelle does the best mani / pedi's in town. I've been to several of the higher salons and my gel manicure never lasted half as long as the 3 weeks it does at South Pasadena Nail salon. Also she takes her time with me I never feel rushed and she always remembers my favorite colors. When she's busy, I wait and Why you ask? Because simply put there is no one better then Michelle. I'm so happy I found her and her salon. I highly recommend South Pasadena Nail Salon, you won't be sorry, I guarantee it! read more

Coco Nails - This is my mani/pedi - mani going on 2 weeks and my pedi- this is 3 weeks later! I'm so happy with Michelle and the fantastic job she does! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

So I've been coming here for months now (since August 2016). My go to person is Michelle. You can also try her husband, he's equally as good. Really good with shaping nails. Perhaps the best feedback I can leave is the thorough job they do within a reasonable and sufficient time frame. They are quick and they really put in an effort to making you feel satisfied with the results. I usually do gels and they last for as long as 3 weeks. It's also a very friendly atmosphere and you never feel like your being rushed. Michelle makes an effort to also remember your usual colors... which to me shows great customer service.! read more

Coco Nails - Nails got done on a few day ago. Nail color. 621 in gel - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This place has gotten better! I hadn't visited this nail salon in approximately 2 years because I'm no longer in the area. I have a trip coming up in a few days and I wanted to do my nails before leaving so I decided to make the drive from West LA to South Pasadena and I'm more than happy that I did. They have a ton of colors to choose from which only made things more difficult for me because I'm so indecisive, but I appreciate that they have a wide variety. It's clean inside and the service is spectacular, they even bring you water without having asking for it. And they actually listen to what you want which soooo important to me. Anyway, my nails look awesome and this is the only place I trust to do my nails! :) read more
