I came in here and got gel nails. The end result looked very bulky and thick. The lady also didn't paint the full nail so the sides have little to no nail polish on them. They look like when I do them at home. I also only had them for 3 days and my nail polish is already chipping and peeling off. I've never had any trouble with gel nails. read more

I highly recommend Delacey Nail in Pasadena. I've been with Shirley for 5 years and totally satisfied with her work. It is not just a nail salon; it's an oasis of exceptional customer service. Shirley and the other employees are extremely professional and friendly. You won't regret coming here! The prices are affordable and the ladies work efficiently. read more

This place is always accommodating and they have never rushed my pedicure. If anything they take their time and are full of attentiveness. One thing only is that I wish their massage was a bit more firm...other than that they're amazing and are super clean and wonderful customer service! read more

I called ahead and asked for availability as well as if they offer hard gel as an option/how much that would cost. Nancy told me over the phone to come at four and that they carry hard gel for $55. I arrived at 4, was not seated (on a chair with nail clippings in it) until 4:38pm and the person doing my nails picks up a used file, starts painting my nails with a bottle clearly labelled "soft gel". I remind them that this is a hard gel appointment, and she shakes her head and said they don't offer that, and then said actually theyre the same service (which isn't true, they offer gel mani for $35 so its just a dishonest upcharge) Nancy said the bottle labeled soft gel was actually builder gel. Nancy then walked it back and said actually they do offer that, the manicurist just doesn't know how to use builder gel. I would probably skip this place if you are needing anything beyond a simple mani, their attention to detail is just not there, the gel ended up very lumpy, and the manicurist was not comfortable making sure the polish extended to edge of nail. Between the deception about the gel charges, the wait time, and the general service I would not go back or recommend. read more

Was mildly concerned because this place wasn't very highly reviewed and it was the most inexpensive in the area by a loooong shot. Boy! Was I pleasantly surprised! Definitely dated and typical Asian run salon but no problems here! I was afraid when I first got in because they were full but the owner, I think, attended to me right when I walked through the door, and busily looked for a spot for me. They have so many stations and chairs I didn't wait more than 5 minutes. $15 regular pedicure or $18 Spa pedicure... can't complain with those prices especially in otown Pasadena... all other surrounding places are $25+! Brought my own colors as most places have a dismal selection but they have a massive amount of colors to choose from. I believe the brands they carry are Essie, opi, and a few different types of gels. They must have like 1000+ colors. Definitely don't need to bring my own next time. Linn took care of me. Gave a great mini massage and scrubbed the hell out of my barbarian feet when I told her I needed a good hard scrub. Very sweet, detailed, and listens to your needs. Definitely coming back! Thanks for a simple and great first experience! read more

De Lacey Nails - Best prices in all o-town! - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

My first impression of this place was how cluttered it seem. If you're looking for ambiance, this isn't the place to be. A regular mani-pedi is $24 and for an additional $4, you can get the spa treatment, which basically means you get to sit in a worn out, noisy, but still fully functional massage chair while the staff massages some lotion into your arms and legs. One person did my pedicure while another person did my manicure. They were expertly quick about the whole thing. If you're looking for a quick place to get a last minute mani-pedi and do not mind the cluttered ambiance, then check this place out. There's a 90 minute free parking lot right across the street from it. Also, tips are in cash. read more

De Lacey Nails - Mani-pedi with spa treatment for $28 - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

Ive been coming to De Lacey for a couple of years. I usually come with my bestie who lives in the Dena. You can find a variety of Essie and OPI polishes to fit your every occasion. I love their gel selection. You can choose from spa treatments to a regular mani pedi outside of a spa chair. You'll find yourself with 2 techs on a good day working on your hands and toes. I spend about an hour in the salon and there's free 90 minute garage parking across the street. I've had the best experience coming to this salon. The ladies are super friendly and knowledgeable of the colors and brands they carry. I picked a bright neon orange polish and my nail tech was honest and selected a subtle coral that matched better with my skin. I was so impressed! My nails are amazing and I'm now 4th of July and Jamaica ready!! If you're looking for a nail salon that won't put a hole in your wallet; this is the place to go. I couldn't be happier with my nails and gel polish selection! Gel polishes last for near 3 weeks. 3 weeks of no chips or re-applications is a win in my book! This salon is located in Old town Pasadena near Bucca di Peppo and Gyu Khaku. Sometimes there's a wait depending on on the time of day or holiday weekend. If you call in advance before closing, it's possible to still be seen!! I've seen it! Just because they close at 6:30, I've seen techs continue to still take in walk-ins after 6:45. How accommodating!! I love this salon! It's straight to the point and my nails are flawless every time! read more

De Lacey Nails - blue chrome stiletto nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

I'm a guy and I've gotten my nails done before. I always get specific designs like flames or stuff like that. First of all I didn't even see them take out new tools I feel like they were used from a previous time. And the design that I wanted which was basically a color and then a flame they could not do and they did very bad at first. And then I was like don't worry we can pick a easier one and then they couldn't even do the easier one and she was pressuring me into just leaving it as is for one color because she didn't wanna do the design. If she knew she couldn't do it she should I had said some thing. The nails themselves how they ended up were ok but not what I asked for. read more

De Lacey Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

De Lacey nails is located in the heart of old town Pasadena. I came across this nail salon after studying at a coffee shop nearby. They do amazing on acrylic sets, as well as gel pedicures. It's pretty pricey to get your nails here but the service is great and they do a great job. Parking is a hard to find, as it usually is in Old town. You would have to either park on the street if there are open spots or pay to park in the garage a block away. read more

This was my 3rd visit 1 1/2 yrs. None have been favorable, so this review is based on last visit 5/19/23, but similar experiences. Don't know how this place gets rave reviews. Arrived at 450pm for a 5pm pedi appt. Taken right away. Picked polish. Greeted with lukewarm water. Asked if I wanted the 'special'. I agreed as that had callus removal and 5 min foot massage. After a 2wk trip walking 80+ miles, I wanted to treat my feet! Quick soak, nail cut. Callus removal was a cream, feet wrapped in a plastic bag - literally - maybe 5min ea. Pulled out a 'cheese grater' type tool to remove dead skin. literally looked like a kitchen cheese grater - just dull. Not a regular pedi tool. No pumice. No foot sander. No cleaning under nails. No cuticle treatment. Nothing. Than the massage. Their 5min massage is a joke. 4 mins of rubbing oil &/lotion on my legs doesn't qualify. A quick rub on my feet and 10 seconds pounding on each foot bed is not a foot massage. In at 450pm and done at 525pm. $40. Polish peeling after day 2. This was not a pedicure. This was an in and out, rush job, money grab. Why do ppl go here? Definitely looking for someplace else. read more

I like coming here just because I live less than a mile away! Parking sucks because you most likely have to park in the parking garage. It is your standard nail salon with reasonable prices. Most of the technicians do a decent job. I get my gel mani and a regular pedi for $43 total. I usually come during the weekday to avoid waiting a long time. I went last Friday and got the gel mani in OPI "somewhere over the rainbow." read more

Great place to get my nails done!! Place is clean and they all know how to do gel manicure very well:).

I am staying in Pasadena for work. I am limited to walking distance while I am here. I read the reviews but I went anyway. The staff is friendly. I had a 5pm appointment but didn't get in the chair until 5:45. Strike 1. I showed them a picture of what I wanted, I told her the shape I wanted. I haven't had my nails done for about five weeks so they were extremely long. I asked for them to be cut down. She didn't measure them side by side before sitting down the second hand. My nails are uneven. Strike 2. I get an acrylic overlay, but these are MY nails. She did my fill in and I knew I was in trouble. I had acrylic on my cuticle and my finger tips. Strike 3. I am trying to just sit and enjoy but then she starts painting them. She was rushed and lazy. There was no time taken to make them look nice and this was just the base color. Her copy of the design was juvenile at best. Long story short, three hours after leaving the shop, my nails have bubbles, there are jagged edges and my nails look like eagle talons. I understand that everyone has to learn and be taught but that should never happen at the sacrifice of your customer. Someone could have guided her on what to do but that didn't happen. A few women laughed at her. Rather than further embarrass her, I tipped her as I would anyone else and thanked her. She did the best she could. SHAME ON THE MANAGER/OWNER of the shop. Knowing how my nails looked, not only did she not give the best direction she could for her employee, she charged me full price knowing the work was subpar. I will never spend another dollar in this place. $135 for fill and deluxe pedi. The woman who did my pedicure was amazing. She was worth every bit of money that I paid for that pedicure. Unfortunate that she doesn't work somewhere else. I have a huge inspection on Tuesday and I will have to pay someone to fix this mess before then for another $100. Again, these are MY nails and I will have to start over. Terribly disappointed. read more

Nghi, the boss lady who did my nails, was super super sweet and very accommodating. I absolutely trashed my hands rock climbing and I wasn't totally sure my hands were salvageable. I had two massive flapper blisters on my ring and pinky fingers the size of peas (big blisters relative to the size of my digits) and she was super delicate and bandaged me up so i could get a pain free manicure. Anh did my pedicure and while she wasn't quite as ginger with the blister on my pinkie toe, the work she did on my toenails was really nice. The polish was smooth and even, not lumpy. I told the gals I like a half natural look and we collaborated on a french tip mani white pedi round shape. The facility is huge and pretty dang clean. Id love to redecorate it to reflect the elevated quality of their work. i hope that doesn't sound catty. read more

Got in around 2:30 or so. 90 minute free parking across the street! Picked out my colors and waited approx. 10-15 minutes before I got a spa chair. The girls there are great. The spa treatment is great ($26)! Loved the girls there. They did a good job of massaging feet and hands before applying the polish. Would definitely recoomend. read more

Really bummed about my service here today. I made an appointment for manicures for my sister and I in advance. When we arrived, I was helped, but my sister waited an hour past our appt. time without being served. I repeatedly asked when she would be helped with no definite response or apology. I wish they would have just been up front about their lack of availability instead of making her wait a full hour in the dark. She eventually just left and was never attended to or offered an apology. Many of the customers in the salon seemed unhappy with their service. read more

If you want a mediocre job, this is the place to go. I'm not a picky customer while getting my nails done, only thing I'll request is to file my nails in a pointy way. When I requested my one requirement, the lady said she doesn't want to because she doesn't like it. Well, last time I checked, I believe I was paying for what I wanted and wasn't asking for an opinion. Although I mentioned this a couple of times she still went with what she wanted. I regret not asking another Neil technician, just like I regret going there. Save yourself some money and go elsewhere. read more

Lucy is amazing she is a true gem! I always have feet issues since I'm on my feet at work all day. She takes very good care of me! I love her attention to detail and her passion for her job!

I will be her client for as long as she will have me! Thank you Lucy! Update: Still love Lucy! read more

This was my first time at the salon and it definitely won't be my last! Anh added a full set of gel x extensions, and they're still going strong over two weeks later. I showed her a photo of the design, and what she painted was even better than the photo... truly a work of art! Clean, precise, and attentive. These are by far the best nails I've ever had. :) Thanks so much Anh!! read more

After moving to Pasadena last month, I have been in desperate search of a nail salon with amazing technicians. I came here for a gel manicure and pedicure as soon as they opened this morning. I tested my luck as a walk-in, and they were thankfully still able to accommodate me! Eva did a fall-inspired pumpkin design on my nails and they are BEAUTIFUL! De Lacey Nails just gained a new regular. Thanks so much, Eva!!! :) read more

2 words: NO FRILLS! just a pedi is what I usually want and I'm out in no time! I walk in and never need an appointment. usually no wait, I have no problem finding a shade I'm in the mood for (lots of Essie!!!), tons of magazines... parking across the street in the De Lacey garage (90 mins free so I never ever need to pay). they never try to upsale me... they just leave me alone, which is exactly what I want!! LOL thank you, love u even more for that!!! oh and I forgot to mention... the best perk of all. VERY reasonable rates. PEDI for $15, MANI/PEDI $22. nope, not a typo.. $22!

I L-0-V-E to get my nails done. I L-0-V-E acrylics. I believe Lily helped me. Just to let everyone know, I've been around... to a lot of nail salons ;) and let me tell you, I am never satisfied. It's either it looks terribly ugly, ships off really easily, they cut my fingers up and say it's my fault, or all this! I've always drove or walked by and was always curious about how good they were. I went to Sally's Beauty supply store first because I wanted to do my own nails. After staring at nail tips for 30 minutes, I told myself "who am I kidding?" and left. I'm a little paranoid and slightly traumatized by the feeling of getting your fingers cut up ever since my previous experiences.But since Christmas was around the corner, and I needed nails to tap on the table or to show off how pretty my hands were, I decided to get them done. Lily took really good care of me. She didn't apply the white tip too low on my nail to make it look like I have a short nail bed. But fairly high to compliment my hands! She didn't cut me at all or burn me with that electronic nail filer. I got a french white tip acrylic with my gel top coat, totaled to be $32 and then tip on top. (tip is cash only FYI**********) Well worth it. So I hope this review helps to those who are afraid of getting bloody fingers, stubby fat acrylics, and asian people who talk doo-doo about you in another language. They are friendly here and they will take care of you. read more

De Lacey Nails - i love it! - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

Tammy is my go to lady here. She is precise and always makes my nails look perfect. She is also a super lovely and genuine person.

Cash or card accepted & walk-ins welcome! Once again... been here for almost over 2 years and I kept walking right by this business. It was probably because I do not usually go out to get my nails done... only for special occasions (5th grade, 8th grade, H/S Graduations, haha). Since my cousin is getting married, I thought what the hay. The reviews all said their prices were decently priced, why not give it a try? All within walking distance from my place too, sure! I walked in on a Sunday (Father's Day to be exact -- there was one Dad getting his nails done while another was waiting for his wife to get hers). Corner to the right as you walk in were the polishes of Essie, OPI, and I'm sure there were some randoms in there (not sure). I chose two Essie colors since I was getting a regular mani and pedi. I can't remember the last time it was when I got both services done... but I know that I have never had two different people work on me at once. I felt like their service was quick and simple. Good for someone who doesn't really care about the nail salon experience of pampering and relaxation. Yes, they did massage my legs, arms, and hands... but I felt like I couldn't really feel fully relaxed for some reason. I think I would have liked to have one thing done at a time? I wasn't able to read or play with my phone so I just looked around at the other people, haha! Would be nice if they had some background music to listen to... possibly a TV to gaze at? I want to say this was probably one of the quickest mani & pedi duo I've had ever and least expensive totaling to twenty-two dollars (not including tip). Tipping two people was also an unexpected thing that occurred as I was only expecting to tip one. The small opening from the street fooled me into thinking this salon was tiny... but it is actually really big inside and has potential for a nicer design layout in the future. The employees that I had were nice... one kept to herself while the other chatted with me for a bit, then it was quiet again. I loved the massages they gave & if you're someone who needs a quick fix to get in and out -- give this salon a try!!! Also, they must be known for their waxing services since there were a few that day (pricing also inexpensive). If you don't live around the area like me and cannot walk straight from your home to this salon... there is a parking garage on DeLacey (one way street from Colorado Blvd -- first 90 mins are FREE!). read more
