Honestly. Horrible experience. They're voted one of the best and I was really shocked at their work. I went into on a Tuesday morning, shortly after they opened for the day, and chose out a gel color. After about 3 days it began to chip and I gave them a call Saturday morning. They asked me to come in the next day because they would not take care of me on Saturday. When I went back on Sunday morning, they buffed out the top coat of my nails and then just painted another layer on top of that buffed out top coat. When what they should've done was just start on fresh canvas on nails rather than short cut it and fix it the lazy way. Not even 24hrs later and it began to chip...not surprised. I was upset that I had to go in a third time. I went into the following morning. The manager whom I had spoke to about the issue initially was not there. They wanted me to come back the next day because the girl who first did my nails was not there but they had enough employees to help me out. They refused to accommodate me even after I was trying to be understanding about it after the second time of being there. The guy began to give me attitude and tell me how he couldn't do anything about it and I had to come back the next day unless I wanted to pay again to get them fixed. I was not going to pay extra for a job that should have been done correctly the first time. Not to mention it was a GEL nail polish. After back and fourth about it they agreed to "fix" the chipped fingers and yet again, they did it the lazy way and literally just applied nail polish to that spot....I was in shock. Horrible customer service. And surprise surprise, they began to chip the next day!! Haha this place is a joke. In the picture, you can vaguely see the buffed out layer under and the "new" coat chipping. read more

Michelle is the best for a manicure! As a whole, the staff is always kind, professional, and helpful. I never go anywhere else to get my nails done. read more

I know this is a cheap nail salon in southern California. I know what I am getting into. I have tried many of the salons around the Pasadena area. Decided to try this one since it's in walking distance to my new place. HOWEVER, it was not worth the time or money to come here. Should have driven to my usual spot. I was rushed to pick a color and then quickly rushed into a chair. Honestly only 30 seconds or so was allowed to choose a color. I originally came in for the deluxe pedicure since I read great reviews on the callus removal. Well after my lady rushed, rushed, rushed through rudimentarily trimming my nails and cuticles she asked what type of pedicure I wanted and I decided not to pay for this lady to rush through the extra callus removal. Meanwhile, someone started my fingernails but when another lady (who didn't seem to have an appointment) walked in for a eyebrow wax I was ditched mid-filing to wait for a new technician to finish my nails. Helen ended up doing my nails after my pedicure had finished and she seemed to do a nice job but also rushed through the entire service and left for the night before I had even paid. The receptionist seemed nice enough but when I was paying he said to let him know if I had a problem. Ok I thought, he noticed I wasn't happy with the service, but he simply waved off my concern that I felt very rushed and pushed around with "some people like us, some people don't". Well, I hope thats not their business motto! I'm rating 2 stars since the end product came out just plain fine. Not great...not terrible. However, I would gladly pay the same price (or lower) at any of the neighboring places in Pasadena and not feel so shoved around. read more

I went here for the second time, the first time I loved my nails. This second time I got a manicure and pedicure. The way they soaked my nails to get the gel off burned my skin. Then she kept filing and filing my nails down and they all ended up hurting :/ I would move my fingers , she would move on to another nail and come, come back to the previous one and keep filing! They have 3 coats of gel right now and 3 nails broke later that day. That's how thin my nails were left. Then my pedicure, my big toes are completely different. I had to remove my polish because my left toe was hurting more than my right. She had trimmed my left toe so short that it is hurting, it's super sensitive and red. Compared to my right toe, my nail is longer . I will say they are very nice and it's quiet but I do not like how thin my hand nails were left nor the different shape of my toes. read more

The whole experience: Distasteful, unprofessional. First, two of my fingers got bleeding cuticles! No one was apologetic. Why bother, it wasn't them in pain. Second, as soon as I walked in there, Jennifer, the owner started pushing a service of eyebrow threading on me and I said no. Then she pointed me to the spa chair as if I was getting a full manicure and pedicure. I specifically told her on the phone I only needed to have finer nails fixed. What's more unbelievable was that after I said no to the spa pedicure, she insisted that since she heard me over the phone that I needed pedicure, now I have to have one no matter what. I ignored her. My toes were perfectly fine cause they just got done a week before. Why would you want to deal with this at a nail salon?! Then Jennifer pushed me to the edge. I went in for an $18 work of acrylic gel refill and got charged for $28. I assure you it wasn't the $10 that pushed me to say goodbye to them. Lynne insisted on doing a regular manicure for me when I told her what I had was an acrylic gel and I would like to have the same done. Trusting her experiences (which now I know is very much outdated), I let her go on. Half way through, she realized that she couldn't do the refill job. She complained that she could do acrylic gel but the owner didn't want to buy the material for her to do it!! Wow, how much can that cost??? Then later on, another girl, Nancy pulled out the whole set of acrylic gel material and did it for me?!!! I am confused. This is a place where employees don't share and talk to each other?! Jennifer, the owner later confessed to me that I really only needed a refill not a manicure. The usual acrylic refill is $18 and I am used to that. I felt ripped off when Jennifer insisted that I wanted the regular manicure on top of the refill and charged me $28. I paid what she asked me and paid tips to Nancy and fled. Greed=Unhappy employee=Bad customer service=no returning customer I echo with another reviewer: I couldn't get out of that salon fast enough. read more

By far my favorite nail salon. Quick, clean and professional. Jackey is amazing at full sets and shapes them perfectly, I highly recommend setting up an appointment with him. read more

Harmony - Full set by Jackey :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

I am in general a pretty low maintenance gal, but since I turned 14 and no longer wanted to sport the "Frida" unibrow, I have been getting my eyebrows threaded. I used to drive all the way to Artesia from Pasadena to go to Ziba before it took off. About 5-6 years ago, my sisters and I found Jennifer! The owner of Harmony. She is the absolute best. The salon JUST opened about a week ago and I hauled my way over from Agoura Hills just to see her and the new place. It is located right on Pasadena Avenue between Green St. and Colorado, you can park on the bridge or street at a meter or valet or at the DeLacey garage. The salon is very chic, and has a very clean and kept feel to it. Her staff is kind and friendly, Lynn does the best pedicures. Harmony is open 7 days a week, which is great for the Sunday errand runners like myself. read more

Jennifer is great. I hope this place does well because I like to support small businesses. I don't know why this keeps happening - at this salon and others - but please DO NOT tell me how to tip so you can avoid paying taxes. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

If I could put minus 5 stars if I would .... We walked in they saud no problem, 20 minutes, its was a special night for my daughter and she and i wanted a mani pedi, I was going to get a pedi.. It took so long and as I sat there I realized they were so over booked but at that momnet they called my daughter and she sat down , I told them I would come in another day.. All the sudden my daughter yells my name I come over and she is bleeding, he cut into her finger it was bleeding so much... NO one knew what to do, I was saying , it needs to be cleaned and bandaged, they had NO first aid kit, NO bandages and were putting cotton on it which was sticking into the cut, The woman next to us got up from her pedi and took us to her car to get bandages.... 5 hours later it still hurts and the woman that gave us the bandages told us they cut her sister there before..... Really Scary... Its one thing to get a tiny cut, I have never ever had that happen but the fact they had NO idea what to do or anything to help us was truly shocking!!!! read more

First time here and it is a good experience. Friendly staff, and everyone knows what to do. Easy in and out, no fuss no muss. Would come again! read more

OK, I am not one to bad mouth any small business owner because I know how hard it is to get ahead these days.........buuuut, I feel I need to warn everyone about this place called "Harmony" Salon. Initially, I actually loved the place--the owner was very nice and seemed professional. I got my eyebrows threaded & a bikini wax. They were both so great, I was recommending the place to all my friends. However, the second time, I got a bikini wax from a different woman and she seemed very uncomfortable about the job--which seemed odd because she said she had been doing it for years...hmmmmm, not so great. I also got threading done again by the owner, who seemed rushed and preoccupied. I sat in the chair while she multi-tasked: threading my brows and chatting with her husband on the phone about whether to order in or eat out--by the way, they decided to order in... So, I charged the services and asked about adding gratuity. She looks at me & says "you don't have cash?" I say no. She fumes silently & then says "well, you can add it this time but next time bring cash". How bout I DON'T tip you? is what I was dying to say....but believing in "harmony", did not. The third time--and actually I blame myself because I should have known better by then...was just terrible. It was my birthday and so I wanted to treat myself to a mani-pedi. I made an appointment for three actually--myself, my mother & my sister. However my mom decided to skip it & just keep us company. So, you would think the job would go faster? No...that's just crazy talk. Despite the fact that I made the appointment and that it was my birthday (Yes, I am a ham & had to tell them...), I sat there waiting, waiting, waiting. Meanwhile my sister's pedicure was done before my mani was barely started. I thought the whole point of the appointment is to have it done at the same time. I ended up leaving and not even bothering with the pedicure. The owner didn't even seem to care...talk about a downward spiral! So I promise never ever to go back or else, I will give myself a bad review! Now, where do I find a good waxing & threading place...? read more

Guess I found my new threading joint! Jennifer is SUPERB. Like, wow. It's beyond words. I've only gotten my brows done at Vinita's in Westwood and every single time I've gotten it there, no matter how many times I had gone before, it always made me squint in pain just a little bit. Not here. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if she was actually removing anything until she was done and voila! And, my brows weren't red afterwards the way it usually is. I mean, she's fantastic. The salon is nice and bright too. The walls are a serene sea foam color and it's a really nice place. Only downside is that they don't have that many colors to choose from if you're getting your nails done, but honestly, the threading with Jennifer is more than enough to make me come back again. Cost wise, I got my brows and upper lip done for $18 (I think it was like, $12 for the brows and $6 for the lip). The mani/pedi was $28. Thanks Yelp! I couldn't have found Harmony Salon without you! read more

My co worker recommended me to this place, which is great because it's walking distance from my job. I made an appointment they saw me right away, offered me a drink even wine. My acrylics were a disaster, and the man who did my nails completely fixed them. Everyone was so friendly, I felt comfortable right away. And they work quick!! I was in and out in under an hour for acrylics with gel and a pedicure. I'm so happy I've found my new nail home. read more

Harmony - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

While this isn't a five-star place cost and amenities place like Burke Williams, it's easily five stars for what it is. I'm always able to walk in and be helped but it's not dead inside, it's bright and fresh with lots of windows and open doors, and the staff are polite and friendly-enough with good equipment, colors and skills. I've been here on a casual week day on a day off, and taken my wedding party before my big day, and always been happy and feel well-pampered. read more

My normal salon has limited hours compared to Harmony so one Saturday evening I called made a last minute appointment and was so glad I did! PROS: - Open 7 days a week! - Open later than most salons! - The owner Jen is so warm and gets to know her customers. - Gel manicure done by Sue & pedicure done by Michelle easily lasted 3 weeks. - Most gel colors have an exact match for non-gel colors for pedicures. DRAWBACKS: Note I say drawbacks and not cons because they really are not. - This is a busy salon with the ability to service a large number of people all at once. So it is not very "relaxing" but I suppose that is also why they can squeeze late appointment makers (like me). - It is located on the edge of Old Town so it falls into the same parking options. The 90 minute free lot on Delacy is about 1 - 1.5 blocks away, there is limited metered parking directly in front of the salon and there is a pay lot right across the street which depending on the day / time seems to run about $5.00 OVERALL So all in all I really enjoyed this salon!!! I would go back without any hesitation if my schedule did not allow me to visit my regular nail salon. Basic Manicure & Spa Pedicure is $30 (good price) Gel Manicure $30 Spa Pedicure $20 read more

My husband and just recently moved to Pasadena from South Carolina so I had been doing research of good nail salons close to our home. Harmony is less than .5 mile from our house. So the distance was perfect. The guy at the front desk made things run smoothly and was nice enough to lead me in the direction a good Restaurant close by. I got a gel manicure and was so happy with the way the turned out. I was also impressed with their selection of gel color. I will be going back to the same place again in two weeks!! read more

I came here from a recommendation from a friend and I'm glad I took it!!! I came here around 10:30 this morning for an appointment with Jennifer for my eyebrows and I found parking easily on the streets of pasadena (free before 11:00am whoo hoo!!!!) I walked into the salon and was greeted so pleasantly by the staff there and Jennifer proceeded to thread my eyebrows. There is a minimum of $20 for credit card charges! I've had my eyebrows threaded before but no one has come close to what Jennifer does! I literally hadn't had my eyebrows down since December (i know... i've been a hairy beast for the past 3 months!) and she reshaped them and cleaned them sooooo well in less than 20 minutes!!! She wasn't aggressive like other people I have gone to! Usually the places I go there, I would go home and finish the job since I'll notice they missed some but Jennifer gets every last bit of hair! Their salon is really nice and had a good vibe when you go there! It's really clean and you get that harmonic feel when you're in there. I looked at their pricing for other services they provide there and for being in pasadena area where all the shopping is.. this place gives you great prices for the great quality! read more

Finally gave up on this place. They give preferential treatment to usual customers (even though I've been going there for a couple years now) and there is no attention to detail...especially customer service. Very factory like...no special touches about the space and the employees lack personality. Its a quantity over quality type of place. I knew I was done when one of the girls was talking on her phone while doing my manicure, the other one made my toe bleed and said nothing, then the day after my manicure, my nails we trashed after taking a shower (work of girl on the phone!) If you want a nice place with good atmosphere and service, DON'T go here. read more

Our entire family has been getting their nails done at Harmony for years and they always take amazing care of us. Consistently great work, clean and friendly. read more

I am so glad I found Harmony on Yelp. Originally, I went to see Jennifer (the owner) to thread my eyebrows. When Jennifer is unavailable, her sister-in-law, Trang is also incredibly precise with the threading. I'm very particular on how my brows are shaped. On the side note, I recently divorced my nail salon, Delacey Nails (after 10 years) since my gal moved to the bay area. Luckily, I was introduced to another family member, Julie (the niece of Jennifer) who also does an exceptional gelicure, mani, or pedi. I always feel welcomed when I swing by the shop, and I will continue to recommend Harmony Salon to all my friends! Thank you ladies for all your hard work. xoxo read more

Harmony Salon offers some of the finest service I've ever encountered. I received acrylic nail experience of the highest quality ever. They've employed a very friendly and outgoing staff, which provides a pleasing environment that is always buzzing with happiness and laughter. I'm especially fond of the owner, Jennifer! Just recently they've added facials and eyelashes to their expansive list of amenities. This is a total one stop shop. read more

Absolutely love this place. Jennifer does threading and she's amazing. I found this place on Yelp when my last threader packed up and moved to Taiwan without telling me ... I'm so glad I did. She remembered my name/face on my second visit, which is awesome. You can't sign tip into the credit card charge though, so make sure you have enough cash to cover. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE I've been going here for several years now, pretty much since i moved down to LA.. and i can say that i've been dragged by friends to other salons but Harmony Salon kicks butt 100x over any other place i've been the past 4 years... which is why i recommend this place to all my female relatives, friends, and pretty much anyone who's looking for a great place to call mani-pedi home. The salon itself is very clean, bright, and airy so you don't feel like you're breathing in toxic air.. plus everyone who works there is a sweetheart and i've never been disappointed with my mani/pedis~ love the warm lotion/scrub they use on the feet and hands.. and that they always have tons of magazines to browse through.. LOVEEEE that everything is so clean.. all their instruments are cleaned with each use and come sealed in an autoclaved packet.. lastly, the price is just right! for the service, the quality, the cleanliness, this place is a steal! also, i recommend that you call in for an appointment and then park in the delacy parking lot for a free 90 minutes.. or you can meter park right out front and run out to feed the meter if you're spending a leisurely afternoon getting pampered. read more

Love how my nails came out. Ann & Amy did my mani pedi and this will be my new go to spot!

Seriously dope service. The staff is so friendly and playful and they did a WONDERFUL job with my waxing my legs. Seriously recommend!

The nail technician did a great job and was very friendly. I will be back and this will be my spot in Pasadena!

I went in for a massage ‍ on Tuesday afternoon, I got Jerry , he was amazing . I had been having really bad shoulder pain for a few weeks now. I No longer have that pain , he was great. I most definitely will be back for another massage and will be recommending people for this service read more

Not sure what the 1 star reviews are about, but this is my go to nail salon! I've been going here since they opened. Mai is my lady! If she's unavailable I go to Fong who's great too. These two ladies are awesome if you're particular about how your nails are done. Service has always been great! I make same day appointments and they always accommodate me. Josh, the guy at the front is beyond hospitable. He makes it a point to know clients by first name and just makes the overall experience enjoyable each time I go. Such a friendly staff overall. They have spa chairs for mani/pedis but they also have a nail bar your hands only. They're a full service nail salon. They offer gel, acrylics, waxing, threading, eyelash extensions all for a reasonable price. Prices aren't too bad for the location and up keep of the salon compared to other joints. They maintain the shop and all its materials on a regular basis. They've swapped out the spa chairs a few times so you know that it's well kept. PROS - Open 7 days a week - Open until 7pm - Easy street or structure parking - Located in Old Town Pasadena - Nails and threading in one spot read more

This place has saved my nails quite a few times. I've been getting my nails done here for the past few months on a regular basis. Mostly I've just gotten french mani/pedis with gel, but they have consistently lasted me a couple weeks at a time (and they'd last longer if I wasn't a perfectionist). The only problem I've had is when I got hair dye on a couple of my gel nails and it wouldn't come off. I went back into Harmony and they fixed it for free since I had just gotten them done the day before (and they were super cool about it). WIll definitely continue going back! read more

Absolutely love this place! Everyone is so friendly. Ask for Mai when getting a mani/pedi. She is the best!!!

I've been going to this nail salon ever since my mom took me here when I was in high school. I love how I can trust all of these ladies with taking good care of my nails! They are so sweet and would help me decide on which colors to get when I can't decide for myself! I love this place :) read more

I love this salon --wonderful people and great service! I definitely recommend any time you're in Pasadena

The salon always takes such good care of me. Jennifer has done such a good job making the clients feel at home. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Michelle and Mai always do an amazing job on my nails. Highly recommend! read more

Jackie, Hannah and Mai keep my hands, feet, nails and eyebrows looking feminine and kept! Love them!

My nails look great! I always get so many compliments about my nails when I come here.

I saw TRAN for threading and she was amazing. I made an apt and came in early and she took me as soon as I got there. She sat me down and took control. She didn't even ask me what I wanted she just knew. The whole apt was less then 10 mins and my eyebrows have literally never looked better! I have only got them waxed in the past and every single time they get messed up somehow. This is my first experience with threading and I will definitely be a loyal customer to Tran! The spa was clean and pleasant and it's a block away from work. For the price of $12 + tip I will be back often. read more

Jen has an Amazing Staff, everyone treats my family like royalties everytime we go. I have been going to their salon since they openened & prior,in another location. Lynn is my girl. I call her Dr Lynn because she is Amazing with in- grown toe nails. I used to live in AZ and drove straight in to see her. Now I live in the OC & haven't found a place that comes close. They do threading & gel & everyone is good. I highly recommend it!! Great prices & people worth the drive!! Love Harmony =) read more
