I LOVE Dynasty Salon and recommend it to everyone reading this review. I call it my "old lady" salon because it is typically an older crowd but it's great! Pratima is my hairdresser and does a great job with color, cuts and blowouts. Nina is the owner and she does my manicures and her sister does my pedicure. My nails (gel) lasts until I decided to have them redone and the pedicures and really the best around. If you've been looking for a new salon to call home, try out Dynasty and let them know I sent you. read more

I have been going to Stephanie for two years, since I moved to Pasadena from the Westside. It is possible that sometime in my life there have been stylists who have cut my hair well, but never anyone as capable of following my instructions. How many stylists would you instruct with a sentence or two, and an old photograph--to go really short? She got it! The salon is clean and well-run. read more

This place never fails. We came here today at 5:15 ishh, my mom got off work late and we tried to get her nails done before they closed. This place closes at 6, so thankfully my mom was able to get seated and get serviced. They sat my mom down right away and she was able to get a gel X refill. The nails salon stayed open for us until we were done. We left around 6:35. We felt so bad for the employee, Kevin , my mom told him only one coat of nail polish because we knew it was time for him to go him. And he insisted to do 2 coats to make it look better. Even though it was past closing, and time for him to go home, he was still providing great service to the fullest ! He finished my moms nails and they looked gorgeous ! If you come here ask for Kevin! Thank you Kevin !!!!! read more

I am so disappointed in my experience here. Although the staff was friendly and i did like my foot scrub, my GEL X nails were horrible. I specifically asked the nail tech twice to go thiner on the french tip and she said they will be. There going to look just like the picture you showed me. To pay 70 dollars for this service wasn't it. And yes i still left a tip on top of feeling this way. Like I said I did like the foot service I got. It was like a pedicure without the nail polish. I don't think I would go back despite liking the foot service. Sucks because this place was recommended to me. read more

I went in today (5/28/24) at 2pm and it is 1am right now and I am complaining to my husband how painful and throbbing red my pinky finger is because the nail tech filed underneath my pinky nail during a manicure until it bleed profusely. :( After she saw it was bleeding all around the nail, she took some type of super glue without asking me and put it on my finger. I wish I had the courage to ask her what it was because I am so afraid of an infection or contracting some bacteria. The place was not very sanitary and I'm not sure the tools are sanitary either. Please learn from my mistake and go to a cleaner salon even if it's more expensive because if she made my nails bleed I'm sure she has done it to others. My nails look really ugly and uneven. Lop-sided almond shape. I told my husband I don't even want to take a picture of them. I hope I don't get an infection. I plan to go to a doctor tomorrow to make sure :( Response - I feel that is not an excuse. It was not a "little" or "light" touch. I felt the nail tech filed my skin with a lot of force to make it painful. She did not stop filing until it started bleeding painfully. Only then did she use a "lighter" touch on the other nine fingers. She should have paid attention to where she was rubbing the nail filer too. In addition, she should be the expert and let the customer know if a certain nail shape is not achievable. I would rather have square or oval shape if it means not bleeding and pain. However, there was no communication. read more

Although I love having pretty, painted toenails...actually sitting for a pedicure is torture for me - I have very sensitive feet and don't like having them touched. I found Dynasty a few years ago and have been coming here ever since. The nail techs, Yin in particular, have been so gentle with me and do not giggle when I squirm around from the discomfort. The experience has been so gentle that I'm (almost!) over my weird foot-touching thing and my nails always look great! I'm able to relax during pedicures now, a huge feat (feet?) for me and I will continue to get my pedicures at Dynasty as long as I live in South Pas. read more

I told her I wanted nails done and she said they had some new way called gelX so I went with those they polished and made a simple design which I love. My daughter got her nails gel polished and she was happy, though her pinky polish fell of 5 days later. I saw they also do hair and a woman got her toes done while her hair dye soaked in which is a big plus when you want to save time. It gets pretty busy so make an appt. read more

It's usually them three so sometimes there might be a wait, especially if you don't make an appointment. The price is affordable for the quality you get.

There are a good handful of nail salons in this concentrated area of South Pas but I'm so glad I chose this place. 10/10 I've never had long acrylic nails done before, (I've only always had my natural/short nails) and lemme tell you: Nina NAILED IT (haaa) Not only is she a total sweetheart, she's a PRO. I'm super satisfied with the result and plan to come back as a regular. The prices are also super reasonable considering the area and competition. I made a 6pm appointment on a Monday, came in and Nina gave me a bubbly greeting. She was so kind and detailed, meticulously perfecting my nails until way past closing time without rushing or any hint of impatience. That is truly quality service.

I've come here on 2 or 3 occasions and i think i finally found a nail salon i love! I've gotten a dip manicure once and a pedicure twice. I've always walked and and got lucky with an opening (especially on a Saturday afternoon)! The main owner is super sweet and works really hard. She's always in the front greeting customers, answering the phone and working on clients all at the same time! I really loved the dip manicure. I took a picture of when i got it till today..3 weeks later and it still looks good with no chipping! And the dip manicure is suppose to be healthier on your nails and it's a lot of fun to get done!

My one teeny tiny wish is that I would have loved more explanation as she went along about the products and steps being used.

Dehydration is usually my main issue, and this facial hit the reset button. Other little details I appreciated were the super convenient parking structure across the street. That's always a plus especially in Old Town Pasadena. Bottom line: if you are into self-care and skincare, this is your spot.

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 really appreciated the time and effort put into this manicure as they had also stayed late for me without making my time here feel rushed. The quality is good, nails just a bit long but it's okay. The vibe was good too as they play music in the background.

Dynasty Salon is the best! I've been going here for years because of the high quality mani-pedis and shoulder massages and recently discovered the excellent waxing services. In addition to the great treatment services, Rose and her staff are so caring and friendly. I recently went through a divorce and had to sell my home and the nail ladies listened to the whole saga. Rose and her staff became a huge part of my healing process. I say, "Come for the mani-pedi, stay for the wise counsel on relationships, real estate, travel, finances, and self-confidence!'. read more

I totally agree with Ellen N. I recently moved away from So. Pasadena (I'm in PASADENA, CA. I don't know why the "system" chose my location as San Francisco; I'm not there). i went to a nearby Nail shop ( for service. What a disappointment! From now on, I will return to Dynasty Salon for any and all service. It just doesn't get any better than this nail and hair salon. It's simply the BEST of them all for so many reasons. I'll have to take two busses to get there from Pasadena, but for me... it's worth the trip. read more

My pedicure was really poorly done - it seemed like it was her first time ever doing nails. The nails were cut unevenly, she didn't do any sort of cuticle care, barely even took all the previous paint off that I had, then painted sooooo poorly... it looked like I could've done better. My manicure was ok... but felt really upcharged for a gel builder ($60???!) The ladies were super sweet but I think they need some more skilled technicians in here. It also was really cold and chairs were not very comfortable. It got the job done but I won't be returning!
