Lalla Pedi Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

I apologize for the long post in advance...lol. I have been coming here for over a yr and had previously had nothing but good experiences. I only allow Sara to do my nails. She deserves 5+ stars. There is a male who is either the mgr or owner. He was the first one to start treating me poorly. I had to return due to gel polish coming off 1 nail....which had never happened & hasn't happened since. It was at about the week mark and Sara was happy to fix it. I had scheduled a slightly earlier appt but had an unavoidable delay. So, I came in later in my lunch break and explained if she couldn't do it I would return after work since I was ~20 min. later than planned....on me. She asked her current client if she would mind if she fixed the 1nail & the client was super nice, said no prob. I had already pulled out $10 to give Sara. B4 I could hand it to her, the man at front began yelling at me telling me I better tip her. Sara became upset saying that I owed her no tip bc the polish shouldn't have chipped. She tried to refuse the tip but I insisted bc she had been nice enough to fit me in. Fast-forward about 4 mos & Sara left on vac for a month. My nails were lasting nicely but after 3 weeks i decided on a polish chg due to an event I had. Person new 2 me spent about 10 minutes thoroughly inspecting my nails and wouldn't answer if there was a problem. She walked off & returned to do the same thing a couple of times insisting that I did not have gel polish on my nails. I told her that was not true. She then went to one of the? Asst mgrs who came over and said the same thing. I told them to look at my toes to see the perfect match...which is impossible to achieve unless it's the same substance. They then insisted that i had powder. I told them I had only done powder once in my life, it wasn't with them and I would never do it again (side note...as a physician, it is not rec due to most salons' communal dipping which is unsanitary and increases risk of infection). This went on for another 10 min to the point that they lied and said they checked the system to verify my last service and insisted it was dip. I then insisted on seeing proof of that at which time they changed and said it must be acrylic. Again, have only done that once...not with them. I prefer gel. They then "apologized" and said it was just because "those services cost more"...??!!!...what the what??!!!...and that had what to do with me and my request to change my GEL POLISH??!! At that point I became upset and told them that I did not appreciate the way they were talking to me and implying as though I had done something wrong or unscrupulous. They again apologized saying they would take care of me, but then began insisting that Sara must have added extra coats of polish or topcoat???!!!. So, now i felt they were then trying to drag her name thru the mud and imply she had done something wrong. Meanwhile the sweet young lady that was changing the polish on my toes was done while the person working on my nails hadn't started. I wouldn't have come back if it wasn't for Sara. Fast forward two visits later and I had my sister with me who has Alzheimer's. It was a Wed and when we checked out, I reminded the lady checking me out (also either mgr or co-owner) to add my sr citizen discount. She asked for my id despite me having been there for well over a year getting that discount or the medical discount on Mondays. No prob. I showed her and she proceeded to tell me that I was not old enough...I'm 59 soon to be 60. She insisted that it has always been 65 for the discount. I calmly said no one had ever said that in the entire time i had been coming (& that included her but I didn't go there). She insisted it has always been the policy, followed by running outside to check their promo board......I pointed out that most places start sr discounts at 55, to which she replied that they are their own business separate from anyone else. She pointed out that i couldn't use my points and a sr discount together anyway so rec i use my points. When i paid for my sister's, she started again b4 she even looked at her driver's license. I pointed out that my sister was 66! She seemed disappointed . It's a 10% discount!! I get that businesses are likely feeling the economic crunch...but so are consumers! Don't offer the discounts if you don't intend for them to be used. I soo used to love this place. I would have given them a rating of 10 on the 5 point scale... but they charge too much (plus i tip 20%) to be treated poorly. I will likely continue going bc of Sara...she is the best and I always get tons of compliments on my nails. Mani/pedis should be a relaxing experience. It's sad that many of the nail salons have a way of stressing you out more than when you entered. If this continues, I will likely have to start searching for a new place. Good luck to you, maybe your experience will be better than mine. read more

This was my third time giving this salon a chance because I was influenced by all the amazing reviews. Unfortunately, every visit has had some kind of issue, and this was the last straw. I came here on my birthday for a French tip manicure and pedicure (no acrylics) and still paid about $150 after my birthday discount. For that price, I expected excellent work. Instead, I left with white residue/stains on my nails and had to ask for several things to be fixed. I was already late for my birthday party and eventually stopped pointing things out because I felt they were rushing to get to other customers. When I went back about the white marks, I was told I could just wash my hands and that it would eventually come off. That wasn't the point, I came here so my nails would be perfect for my birthday that day, not so I'd have to fix them myself. To make matters worse, the very next day my French tip was already lifting. The pedicure was also disappointing. The leg massage lasted maybe a minute, there was no hot wax treatment, and the entire service felt rushed. I've paid almost half this much at other salons and received far better service and longer-lasting results. I don't mind paying premium prices when the quality matches, but this experience didn't. After three chances, I won't be returning. There are much better salons that offer better quality and value. read more

I've been coming here a little after they opened and love Trina, she does such a good job on details and makes sure you get your moneys worth for a pedicure. Feet always feel like a babies bottom. Other techs are just as good, over all experience is great. read more

One Star. Things started off well--the space looked nice, they soaked my feet, and I appreciated the complimentary Thai iced tea. I specifically told both the host and the nail technician that I wanted my cuticles pushed way back and my nails cut very short. They said they would. Two days later, looking closely, the job just isn't good. My nails are still long on the sides, they snag on my bedsheets, and the cuticles barely look touched. For a $32 pedi (plus a 20% tip), that's disappointing. This was my first and last visit--I don't recommend this place. read more

Six of us went before a cruise and this place was fabulous! From the warm towel around our necks, wine, and wonderful pedicures, this place is really great!

I decided to try this nail salon because of the ratings I seen online. The place was nice, quiet, and relaxing but the quality of service and the pricing was a nightmare... I asked for a simple French manicure on my real nails (I never get acrylic nails) I normally go to citrus which is also a luxury nail salon but I have NEVER had to spend over $100 with tip. I paid $97, and as I was getting my nails done, I came to the reviews and noticed a lot of negativity from the employees if you try to ask why they up charge for everything. Mind you, I did not even get acrylics!! They're just my natural nails! So I paid $65 for something so basic? The tech offered to trim my cuticles for an additional $8 and I was confused because I always get my cuticles taken care of inclusive in my service, it's a GIVEN. It should be a part of the service. And then if I wanted the white part of the tip to he "higher" it would be another $10, and if I wanted a certain shade of pink for the base, "another $10" I will not be coming back. I was so upset when I left but I felt no point in trying to dispute the price. Please avoid this place because they truly do try to take advantage of their customers and it's just not worth the price. Im not satisfied with my nails either. read more

I've been a loyal client of Lalla Pedi Spa since they opened in 2022. Getting my nails done is one of the ways I treat myself regularly--I never go more than 6-8 weeks without a visit, and until now, I've always had decent experiences. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was extremely disappointing. I was assigned to a nail tech I hadn't seen before, and her technique was unlike anything I've encountered in my 16 years of regularly getting my nails done. I politely asked her to cut my nails shorter, and she told me she would do so after applying the acrylic--something I've never heard before. The process felt disorganized, and the results reflected that. My nails were uneven in length and thickness, some were crooked, and the edges were inconsistent--some square, others rounded. I calmly expressed my concerns and asked if she could fix them. Rather than addressing the issues, she kept brushing me off, saying she would "get to it later." Eventually, I accepted that they just weren't going to be done to my usual standards and decided to let it go. But when I went to pay, I was surprised to see an extra $5 fee. I asked what it was for and was told it was for the length and shape--despite the fact that I got short, basic square nails, the same style I've always received there without being charged extra. When I respectfully explained that I didn't understand the charge--especially given the poor service--I was shocked by how the manager responded. In the middle of our conversation, she called another client, paused to ask if they could come in later, then looked me dead in the eye and told me that if I was dissatisfied, I didn't need to come back. I was stunned. I wasn't rude or aggressive--I simply shared that I was unhappy with the service for the first time in three years. Instead of an apology or an attempt to make things right, I was essentially told I was no longer welcome. I can't recommend Lalla Pedi Spa after this experience. If the first sign of dissatisfaction results in you being rejected as a customer, it speaks volumes about how they value loyalty and treat their regulars. * I would also like to note that it's not like my nails are utterly atrocious. There were just a couple things about them that I wish they would have changed. My pedicure was cute though. read more

****EDIT 12/09/25**** I would like to come here and edit my previous 1 star review back to 5 star. The manager Dana called me right away to correct my nails and apologize for the service and let me know the issue had been addressed. I appreciate any business that contacts their customers and takes these issues seriously. Thank you Lalla's. I have been a loyal customer for over a year and I only come to Lala's but today will be my last. The tech who did my chrome full set manicure in the front was very rude. I am so nice to everyone and she just didn't want to be there. Bad attitude just because I was asking questions. I don't get my finger nails done often. She cut my cuticles twice and made me bleed, used a large and painful tip on the drill. She didn't apologize for making me bleed and then when my nail accidentally bumped the nail dryer she loudly said "UGH!" And Rolled her eyes. So embarrassing. I have never been treated this poorly by a nail tech. I was still nice enough to tip her but I shouldn't have. She has ruined this salon for me. I expect Lala's to hire much nicer people for the prices they charge. I'm so upset. The nails look okay I guess. I just wanted to hurry and leave. I don't know her name but I'm sure the owner can check the cameras. Today at 4:00pm read more

The first time I came here for a full set and pedicure was magnificent I don't remember the woman who did my pedicure, but Kayla did my acrylics and it was amazing, they lasted for a full month, no lifting until the 4th week, and no chips, or breaks; she also made sure the acrylic started right at the nail bed, that the 2nd week barely looked like a week had passed. This second time I went a man haiwan I think his name was, filed my thumb and didn't apologize, he didn't offer any refreshments, and did such a lazy job on my nails, he didn't start the acrylic at my nail bed and after day 6 it already looks like a 2 week grow out, I'm barely at my second week and I already have a chip and my nails are lifting I'm so disappointed. read more

My daughters BFF went to Lalla Pedi Spa for a gel manicure with dark brown polka dots. She showed Kevin (the tech) a photo, and he asked if she wanted them a little longer for $7 more. She said yes -- and without explaining, he switched from gel to powder. When it came time to pay, she was told the total was $70. Caught off guard and feeling too nervous to dispute it, she paid. Her mom immediately called and was told by the manager they'd change it to $52 -- still high for what she got, but better than $70. When she went back in, the manager and Kevin argued with her, raised their voices, and claimed polka dots are $20 extra. They then refused to honor the lower price. Upselling without clear consent, hidden charges, and worst of all, yelling at customers -- never again, Lalla Pedi Spa. I hope the short-term profit was worth losing future business, especially from a kid. read more

I was visiting home from Cali, and found this location based off of Yelp reviews. Lalla Pedi Spa is a very cute nail salon and the ambiance is nice and cozy; not overwhelming like many other nail salons in Houston where it is usually a large location with a lot of people can be overwhelming. I came here mid week and although service was slow, I didn't have to wait too long. The staff were accountable for the wait and when service was done (pedicure) they were attentive. They also serve complimentary drinks while getting my toes done so that was nice. Highly recommend this location as this place is updated, clean and friendly staff who have attention to detail and aren't in a rush for you to leave. I'd come back whenever I visit Houston. :) read more

I have been to Lalla Pedi Spa a few times, but the last two visits have been a nightmare. First, after I got a pedicure, my toenail became badly infected. I thought this was a simple mistake on their part and decided to give them a second chance. However, this will be the last time I go to this place. During my most recent visit, the lady was too aggressive with the scrub on my skin to the point that I left with a burning sensation and truly irritated skin. She was also rude throughout the appointment. The burning sensation was so bad that I couldn't even wear pants--everything hurt. The pain and burning have not stopped; I continue to experience discomfort. The pain has left me with no choice but to make an appointment to see a doctor. After the pedicure, I spent the entire day dealing with this ongoing pain and irritation. When I got home, I saw that my skin was extremely irritated and I could barely touch it. To make matters worse, the price was extremely high for such a horrible experience and lack of customer service. This was the worst experience I've ever had. read more

This place took advantage of my daughter. She asked for a simple gel manicure with a small design. The salon charged her $70 - when she questioned it the employees ganged up on her and yelled at her.

Had a great time at this nail salon. It was my first time getting gel polish on my toes along with the massage package. Loved how my nails came out. Got them done for a St. Patrick's Day theme for a tribute band that I saw that same day. For the nail design on my fingers I went with something that was similar to the album design for the 30 years of Justice album by Metallica. I would definitely recommend this nail salon. read more

I'm new to Pasadena and luckily by my second try at getting a pedicure here and finding a great tech, I came upon Lalla. I'm a nail artist myself and great pedicures are important to me. From the care taken with nail filing and cleanup to the relaxing atmosphere to a great polish job - all of it is important. Dana hits all the marks and provides a pedicure just the way I like. I don't even have to watch - I actually get to just relax, that's rare for me and I need my self care to be more like this. I always get the Glowy and order up a vietnamese coffee. Then there's the warm shoulder wrap, the great massage chair and the massage they give not just with the scrub but the lotion. I truly look forward to my monthly pedicures. p.s. Lalla is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and the space is so clean - even the bathrooms. This is what modern nail salon dreams are made of. My favorite little nook is the museum feels I get on the wall by the restrooms. read more
