I just moved to the area and this is my go to nail spot! I usually go for gel manis and Annie and Laura are amazing! Last time I was in I was set on a specific color but I couldn't find it. Two of the women working there looked through ALL of their different brands until they found the exact one I was looking for. Everyone here is very nice and helpful in explaining all of the different types of services they offer as well. The place itself is bright and comfy, I love the chairs they have for their pedicures. Since it's located in a popular spot metered street parking can be sparse, but there's a parking garage a block away too. I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

Went there recently with my daughter and we were able to get appointments a day before. Ladies are professional, and the place is very open and clean. read more

Was able to get a same day appointment for my daughter and I. I had a spa pedicure and she had a gel manicure. The person who did my daughter's nails did a nice job on her nails but she wasn't very personable. My person was a little more friendly and did a lovely job as well. My daughter really liked the vibe of the place in the photos and is one of the reasons we picked it. It's got a very cool look but in terms of comfort I prefer the massage chairs at other places. It's in Old Town Pasadena so parking can be tricky. read more

I needed my nails done for SuperBowl weekend as I was visiting from out of town for work. I went in -mid morning for my nail appointment and was greeted and seated promptly to start my services.

Wonderful gel manicure ! I have extremely thin and sensitive nails -- Nora did not hurt my nails at all and they are beautiful!!!

I tried Emblush Beaute for the first time a few weeks ago. I had asked for the structured gel manicure service - the nail tech did regular gel and placed a "more durable top coat over it". I was surprised as I had the impression structured gel was different than normal gel - after all it is more expensive. Flash forward to today, I went to another nail salon and asked for a structured gel manicure. This other place truly did a structured gel mani. Placing the clear structured gel onto my nail prior to the gel polish, forming and shaping my nails nicely with this thicker gel. The salon is clean and I was happy with my polish pedicure, but disappointed that I was charged for a structured gel mani when I was really given a regular gel manicure. The tech I worked with today confirmed that the gel she removed was in fact a regular gel manicure service. read more

Such a realizing and amazing experience ~ everyone was very friendly and the services were just so great. I ended up calling the same day and making an appointment just in case, but truly such a nice salon experience. The ambiance was lovely. They had the radio jams going, but the volume was just low enough to be relaxed. We got 2 gel manicures and 2 classic pedicures. The ladies who took care of us went above and beyond. I totally recommend this place. We will definitely be back! read more

My sister in law goes to Emblush, so I thought i'd give it a go. I got a hard gel fill as well as a really fun design, and my boyfriend got a pedicure. Rachel was incredible. I showed her the designs/vibes I was going for, and she executed them perfectly. She was also surprisingly quick for the intricate detail required on each nail. The salon itself was nice, parking was convenient, and overall, I was very happy with my experience here. read more

I am so glad I found Emblush and they will forever be my go to nail salon in LA!! I always schedule service with Diane, who is amazing, but I know all the techs are great. The atmosphere is so cute, calming, clean - and the music is great. I always leave so happy and impressed - Diane is so talented! She's also so good at executing exactly what I want, but I love getting her input too. Making an appt on their website is super easy - just make sure you select add-ons if you're getting design or charms or anything! (: read more

I usually get the gel overlay and noticed my normal place my nail keeps breaking. So I decided to try this place after reading the reviews. The technician I had was very informative and told me that my overlay was too thin for my nails because of the way it curves. I should have a thicker layer at the ends due to it. There was a lot of details put into putting on my application which I rrallly appreciated. I also got a 10% off for my first time! I will be turning for my refills! read more

I'll be going back for Annie! I got a gel pedicure and eyebrow wax today with Annie. I booked the night before to go in on Saturday opening. Really easy to use on the booking site! GEL PEDICURE: Annie was great and so sweet by helping me choose my color and making sure I was comfortable the whole time. She asked if the water temp was good, if my toenail shape was to my liking, etc. I love people who do this, yet still don't make small chat with me (cause I'll be honest I just wanted to be on my phone in silence the whole time!) WAX The eyebrow waxing was also very painless and easy. She made sure to clarify the length, arch, and width! Love the lotion she put afterwards to soothe my brows. HYGIENE She wore gloves, had sanitized tools, and washed her hands when switching from pedicure to eyebrows! Love good hygiene in a salon! Looks like the rest of the ladies also do the same. PARKING Sorry I can't say much to parking--I walked! But there is street parking with meters or you can use the app Pasadena usually has up on signs. Very easy to use in my past experience! There's also lots but I would say try to grab a meter--I think it's cheaper. Overall, I'll definitely be coming back regularly. Will probably be my regular spot in Pasadena! I also have trust issues, so I'm definitely going to be sticking with Annie! read more

I have been coming to Emblush since there opening week. Tony has been my go-to guy for Gel-X nails and he never disappoints. Tony is always booked ahead of time so always make sure to make an appointment 1-2 weeks ahead of time. I also get my pedicures here by any tech available because they are all so great! I have no complaints about the service I get each time. Non-regulars seem to have a problem walking in and being disappointed when there is no availability. But this salon is always booked so always try to make an appointment. read more

Best gel-x manicure I've ever had, and an excellent pedicure, too! Tony is a fantastic nail tech, and took the time to get the details of my mani spot on. My nails lasted for nearly a month before I had to take them off--and that was only because they had grown longer than I preferred--even after that much time, there was minimal lift, and my nail beds had little to no damage after removal. Absolutely worth every penny! The salon itself is pretty and clean, and I am excited to make this my regular nail place! read more

Emblush Beaute was the second nail salon I tried in Pasadena, and it was way better than the first. It was also the closest salon to me when I lived in my last apartment, so I only had to walk a few blocks to get there. The salon is beautiful and alluring to passersby, and the technicians were all so sweet and kind. I also got my eyebrows waxed here and they did a good job. Right now I'm going through a holographic/cat eye phase with my nails (you don't understand me, mom) so I go to salons specifically for that. Unfortunately when I came they didn't offer those here, so I chose the only polish I saw that I'd be interested in wearing. That's the only reason I took away a star. The manicure itself was well-done and my nails looked great. The whole experience was enjoyable and I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who isn't looking for the same polish effect I am. Hopefully they procure some of those polishes so I can come back sooner! Otherwise I'll give them another try when I'm over whatever this phase is (I'm UNIQUE mom)! read more

Love Emblush! It is a clean, beautiful, large space with a relaxed yet efficient vibe. Minnie and Junko are the best! If you're short on time, they will try their best to get two technicians on the job. It's best to book in advance- these ladies are in high demand! They have a convenient online booking system. It's clearly run very well, I've never had to wait too long and they always get you in and out on time. read more

This is officially my favorite place to get my nails done. Everyone that works here is so kind and attentive....and it's from the moment you walk in. I didn't make an appointment but they worked with me and didn't dismiss me for not having one. I was able to get a gel manicure, a pedicure, AND EYEBROWS done. All received with the best of service. My boyfriend even enjoys coming here for a pedicure and the ladies are so sweet towards him as well! It's really a great experience coming here. I can't wait for my next visit.

I've been coming to Junko consistently for gel pedicures and she never disappoints! She's very meticulous and will cater to all your concerns. Another huge plus is that she's sooo gentle. She's never made me bleed or nipped too deep. A few other pros of this salon is that the service is always A+. The entire staff is so attentive and accommodating. Can we also talk about the cute interior of the place!? The ambiance is super inviting and calming as well. Highly recommend this place whether it be for mani or pedis. read more

My boyfriend treated me to a spa day and chose this place based off of the great reviews. He made an appointment ahead of time and requested Tony to do my Gel-X nails. I also got an organic pedicure and my eyebrows done. Tony was extremely welcoming, kind, and he did an amazing job. While he was doing my nails, we were having a great conversation. I have not gotten my nails done since before Covid and I was very pleased with my experience with Tony. Jessica did my organic pedicure and OMG!!! It was well worth it. She was so gentle and sweet. Overall it was a great experience. The staff at Emblush Beaute are all professional and welcoming. It's a clean salon. I appreciate them taking the extra precautions during the pandemic by sanitizing each area after being used. The salon is also aesthetically pleasing. I don't live in Pasadena so I don't know that I'll be a regular, but I recommend this salon to anyone who lives in Pasadena. Or to anyone who is willing to drive! read more

If you are looking for a exceptionally skilled nail artist, Tony at Emblush Beaute is truly the best in the business. After 15 years in LA and having many mediocre manicures, I will never go anywhere but Emblush Beaute to see my nail King, Tony. He somehow is both extremely precise and efficient (he can do an entire hard gel fill with a nail trimming in under an hour) and there is never a single flaw in his work. He is also a delight, as is the entire staff here. They have created a really welcoming and fun environment. I am bummed that Tony is gonna become harder to book as the word about how incredible he is gets out, but I would be doing a disservice to my community to not share this intel with y'all. read more
