I tried this salon on a whim, as I needed a mani/pedi before a 10am brunch--it was poor planning on my part. I drove by at 9am and saw that they were already open. I walked in and these lovely ladies sat me promptly. The salon is bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside, and it's very clean. My hands and feet were pampered and my nails are polished and pretty. The massage felt a little rushed, but I was also in a rush. Prices are comparable to other nail salons in the area. I'm satisfied with my service. read more

Yay, my first gel pedicure since the start of COVID-19! Glittery Red Toes for days!!! Thank you very much to Cherry for her fantastic work! Crystal Nails is located on Colorado Boulevard and Sunnyslope Avenue in Pasadena (about two to three blocks down from Target). They're located in the small strip plaza as Oseyo Shabu Shabu and across from KFC. Parking: Medium size parking in the small strip plaza. If it's full, there's always street parking on the side of Sunnyslope Avenue. During lockdown, I either painted and/or cut my own toenails. However, when it comes to nail shaping/filing and cuticle trimming, I leave that to the professionals. My toe nails were finally long enough to get a pedicure, along with TLC for my legs and feet. After an hour and 10 mins with Cherry, I walked out there feeling like a new woman with freshly painted toenails, yes! COVID-19 Safety Procedures: Face masks are worn by both patrons and employees. The employees wore gloves while working with patrons. Hand sanitizers are available and social distancing practiced. Every manicurists had their own cart with cleaned and sanitized tools. The place itself is clean and relaxing. Upon entrance, I was greeted by Owner Le, who had me picked out my Gel Polish - PND #184. Not sure what the name was, but my interpretation of, "Dorothy's Red Ruby Slippers" - especially, when the light hits my toenails just right - shimmery, bold red nails, yes!!! I may not always red lipstick, but I'm always down for red nails and/or toe nails! Also, I promised my Mom I would wear red again since she wasn't fond of my witchy, black nails for Halloween, lol! Afterwards, Cherry met me at the spa chair and we began our 1 hour and 10 mins session together. Service: Cherry was delightful to work with. She was sweet and professional. Her work was through and meticulous, and her touch was light and gentle. $40 Aromatherapy Treatment Pedicure + $15 Gel Pedicure; Grand Total $55. I enjoyed the splurge and this was what consisted of my treatment: 1. Aroma Spa Scent: I selected Cherry Blossom (Anti-Aging), which smelled divine and soothing while relaxing and soaking my feet the aromatic water jet. I also enjoyed the massage chair too, especially, the kneading button, lol! There was also a choice of Jasmine (Rejuvenate) or Lavender (Relaxation) scents too. 2. Cherry Blossom Sugar Scrub, Toenails Cleaned Up and Painted: Next, Cherry applied the Sugar Scrub to exfoliate the impurities away. This also smelled really good and the fine sugar crystals made me even more relaxed. She was also gentle with scrubbing my soles (easily ticklish). Afterwards, Cherry got down to cutting, shaping and filing. Her touch was gentle and meticulous throughout. She did a fantastic job with getting my hang nails out. She then looked up triumphantly and said "Feels better, huh?" Definitely, yes!!! Toes were feeling so clean and fresh, lol! She applied about three to four coats of the glittery red gel polish (along with base and top coats). Afterwards, she wiped my toenails with alcohol after the last curing. 3. Moisturizing and Nourishing Legs Mask and Warmed Steamed Towels: Cherry then applied the mask to my legs for a few minutes while she ran over to get the warmed steamed towels. Omg, this felt so good when she wrapped them around my legs. 4. Eight Minutes Reflexology Massage: Before the session was over, the Cherry Blossom scented lotion was generously applied and I enjoyed my reflexology massage. Cherry's massage pressure was light and my feet and legs feel greatly revived (especially, after walking around all day at Universal last Sunday, lol!). After I got my sandals on, I met Cherry at the cashier station for payment. She then presented me with a stamp card for future visits. She and Le thanked me again for coming and I was off my merry way. Overall, I enjoyed my session here at Crystal Nails and look forward to getting more future manicures and pedicures with them. Thanks again, Cherry and Crystal Nails! read more

Kim is amazing!! I made a last minute appointment for gel removal and regular mani and even though I had to wait for 15 minutes (that was my bad though) it was such an efficient appointment! I was able to remove my gel nail polish and get a new color all within 25 minutes and I made it to my next appointment on time! Kim was super efficient and I felt like she didn't cheap me out on any moments either. She also helped me with my purse and everything so I could run out of there with my nails still wet. THANK YOU SO MUCH KIM!! Total was $17 and worth every penny :). read more

They are loud in their native language. I'm pretty sure they talk mess about the customers. Not a very professional place.

Super clean and efficient. I called ahead and didn't have a reservation. They were able to accommodate me and I was in a chair without any issues. Had Terry help me out today. Amazing! She was meticulous in a good way. Took her time and really gave such awesome service. This was the first place that I ever saw a manicurist open the clean tools in front of you. Got a standard pedi ($28) and I'm happy about it. read more

I always tip. Not this time. The quickest and most incomplete pedicure I have ever had and I have had well over 100. This is a "next" conveyor line nail place. They do not care if you are happy or not that's for sure. First the dry skin by my nails always gets clipped. It's part of a pedicure. Nope. That extra! Then she lightly rubbed my legs like she was brushing away a fly and touched my right foot on top. I asked when I would get my massage. She said she did. One minute, She said. It says 2 minute massage when I looked at the menu but that's even the lowest amount I have ever seen. Basic pedicure $28. I asked how much to put a little silver tip on the big toes. $10. Never mind. But such a simple request? Then the polish was messy and I asked her to fix it. She said no, she was busy. A pedicure to me is a time to relax and get a little pampered. I tip well and usually go to one place but I am visiting so tried this one based on the reviews. This was a big fail. I definitely do not recommend. read more

Today was my first time. I called ahead & came by didn't need to wait at all. I got both feet and hands spa, cost $30 + $1 card fee. Tammy (Thu) did my hands and she's such a sweetheart. She took her time and gave me great information with all my Q&A. Although another lady who did my feet seemed really unhappy, maybe she's just tired. It's okay, we have our days. But anyways, I live quite far took me 20 30 minutes to drive, I left this place satisfied. Everyone is polite! :) I recommend any first timer to have Tammy do their nails! read more

*** Don't waste your money here *** I came in for a mani/pedi. The service was fine and the ladies were nice but the quality was really lacking here. I've gotten my nails done before and the places at least clean up the edges with some acetone if they need to. The person who did my manicure missed some areas with the top coat so it ended up looking streaky on the side of some nails. My friend came here for gel and it started chipping off within days. The gel just came right off and didn't even ruin her nails. I've done gel a few times before and never had that happen before. Usually it takes a lot of acetone for my gel to come off! I would go somewhere else read more

This is simply the best nail salon! They're professional and always accommodating. The salon is very clean and inviting. Their services are extensive, and your nails last. I have been coming here for many years and I am always satisfied. The most important thing that sets them apart is their customer care! They recognize you after only one visit . They remember the colors you use and little things like whether you want your nails rounded or square. It's a rarity these days, and they deserve extra recognition. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Would give them 10 stars if I could! read more

Lots of OPI colors. The ladies here are very nice and will do anything you want! Haven't tried a lot of nail design but they do have gemstones, etc. The spa chairs are brand new and sooo nice. I love that they offer parafin which I get on my feet al the time. They use gloves to protect your hands while they do gel manicures. It's a nice touch! You may pay with card but you can't tip on your card. I didn't have cash for tip one day and they said it was ok. I came back later to give a tip because I felt so bad! I don't think they are open on Sundays. read more

They didn't disappoint me since they were nice people. The lady was attentive to my instructions about having sensitive cuticles and not taking off to much. She also did a detailed job of checking in to ensure that I was happy with the look of my nail. The prices are also incredibly reasonable. I got my gel nail removed and a manicure for $12.

Place is pretty clean and friendly. I highly recommend a manicure . Their options are limitless. I was looking for something specific and got exactly what I was seeing in my mind. It's amazing how experienced this location is. I got a full nail acrylic with red glotter polish and matte black , amd red stones. Pricy. was hoping for a hand massage as all other do it. But its different here. Also they didn't add cuticle oil which was a bummer because my cuticles were dry. Cemetery forgot to ask. Luckily I had lotion in my bag. Overall minor improvements and great location. Will be back soon read more

What I asked for vs what I got. I'm pleased with the service and the ladies are all incredibly nice and polite. This is one of the few times I've been to a nail salon where the technicians had a great attitude, especially for me coming in about 1.5 hours before closing time. I would call to make sure they're available for acrylics before you come in because I did see one person get turned away for coming in late. Price: Acrylic nails with gel polish + spa pedicure = $60 They charge $1 extra for credit/debit. Also bring cash for tips because you can't add it onto the charge. read more

My go to nail techs are Mimi & Lee. They are consistently good and fast (which is important to me) because I'm constantly short on time. They know what they're doing and get the job done.

I've never left a Yelp review before, but my experience here was so awful I felt compelled to warn other people. I got a gel manicure on a Wednesday. By that Saturday, I had two chipped nails, which has never happened to me so quickly before. I went back in the following Wednesday to have the two nails repaired (I live across town and therefore wasn't convenient to do before then) and instead of taking off the polish on those nails, they just sanded down around where the chip was and painted over it. I've also never had a chipped nail repaired that way. Sure enough, they rechipped within 2 days and additionally I have two other new chipped nails as of Saturday. So 1.5 weeks after a gel manicure 4/10 of my nails are chipped (after already getting two "repaired"). I am horrified by the lack of quality of this place and will never be returning. read more

Not sure how this place even got 4 stars:( I live near by and this place attracted me by their great prices - $38 for gel mani and pedi, but you definitely get what you pay for. This was the worst manicure I have ever received. All the ladies seem very nice and friendly, but doing nails is not their talent. The total time it took for my soaking, filing and cuticle cutting was under 10 minutes, so sloppy, no attention to details. All my nails ended up different shapes, that look more like a perpendicular rather then a square. The nail polish was applied in probably 5 different layers as she couldn't get it even. It ended up really thick and still uneven. While my pedicure was actually good, my manicure looks like it was done by a child. Really disappointed, will not return here:( read more
