Melody Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

When you call to make an appointment, make sure you're booking with Melody Nails in La Cañada Flintridge--it's the best! I've been a loyal customer for over 5 years, and the service here is always friendly, efficient, and welcoming. They greet you by name, which makes the experience feel so personal. Appointments are recommended, but they do accept walk-ins. If you're getting both a manicure and pedicure, they usually have one technician working on your hands and another on your feet, which makes everything so convenient. A few highlights I love: * They always offer you water. * Huge selection of the newest colors. * Clean and organized shop--the manager is very attentive. * You can actually see them sanitize their tools, which is so reassuring. * Comfortable massage chairs that make pedicures extra relaxing. * Wide variety of services (gel, acrylics, waxing, facials, and more). My go-to technicians are Pauline and Linda--they are truly top-notch and I can't recommend them enough! Parking is located in the back, and you'll enter the salon from there. One tip: bring cash for gratuity since tips on credit cards Melody Nails is it! I highly recommend! read more

I'm so lucky I happened to pass by and discover this place. The salon itself may be older, but the quality of their work is amazing. Ella was fantastic--she took her time correcting my nails from a previous disaster and handled everything so gently and carefully. My nails were fragile, and she was incredibly delicate with them. I absolutely love the results. Thank you. read more

$45 gel pedicure! Great price and they did a great job. Got me in at 1:30, I did have to make an appointment since it was Saturday. Friendly staff very pleasant, and love my pedicure. I also liked that they weren't pressuring me to get other services. And she kept saying my name and thanking me. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Went in for an acrylic fill and left with tips and gel polish that looked like a kindergarten did them. The place was super busy with pedicures and a party in the back. Thought I must be in a great nail salon.. not so much read more

We have been going to Melody Nails for a while since it's close to home and convenient. The location is clean and bright, and they usually have availability if you call ahead. The technicians are skilled, especially for basic manicures and pedicures. My nails always look neat when I leave, and the polish tends to last about a week without chipping. That said, the service can feel rushed, especially during busy times. There isn't much small talk or warm atmosphere -- it's very much in-and-out. Also, depending on who you get, the experience can be very different. Some technicians are gentle and pay attention to detail, while others seem to hurry through, even if you ask for something specific. A couple of times my cuticles were over-trimmed, which left my fingers sore. Prices are a bit high for what you get, especially compared to other places in the area. I think you are mostly paying for the location and convenience. Overall, I still go here sometimes, but I wouldn't say it's my go-to for special occasions. It's fine for a quick visit if you don't have time to drive farther. Just know what to expect and be a little specific about what you want. read more

Very moody people, especially owner Had a very hot and cold experience here -- one day it was a great job for my gel nails and another time I went back Paulina was rude and all I wanted to do was remove my gel manicure (I had gotten them done at another salon and I just came here to remove the polish). Firstly, they were all shocked that I don't want a refill or touch up or nothing to be done to my nails after removal and secondly, they said ya this was not gel regular it was harder to take off and took time. I specifically know it was regular gel bc that's exactly what I got from the old salon. However, Pauline was very rude and made it known that she was mad I came to remove my nail polish here.... So I went ahead and said no worries I'll just go to the person that did my nails to remove them next time. Very moody place. read more

Went with my girlfriend for a mani pedi(got dragged along). my girlfriend said the prices were not bad of 55$ for the mani and pedi. the ladies inside were also very nice and had good service. 10/10 would recommend read more

I called the salon the same day to check if they had availability for a classic pedicure, and luckily, they did. The booking process was smooth, and I was happy to get an appointment. The technician working on my toes seemed to be doing a good job at first. However, we had an unfortunate miscommunication that affected my experience. At one point, I saw her holding something that looked like gel, so I interrupted to clarify that I wanted regular polish. She assured me that she wasn't using gel and was actually fixing a broken nail, which I appreciated. I thanked her and went back to using my phone, trusting the process. When it was time for polish, she started applying gel despite my earlier clarification that I wanted regular polish. As soon as I noticed, I stopped her, but she seemed frustrated and told me she now had to remove the gel top coat, file my nails again, and that my charge would be $37 instead of $30 because of this extra step--despite the mistake being hers. I didn't argue, but I left feeling unsatisfied because it was clear she hadn't been listening to me. Additionally, she didn't check in about the nail shape or color until she noticed me looking down, instead of proactively confirming my preferences. The brief massage she did at the end also felt odd since my nails were still wet, making it ineffective. Overall, it seemed like she was either inexperienced or there was a language barrier that affected communication. While I appreciate the effort to fix my broken nail, I wish she had been more attentive to my requests to avoid these issues. read more

I am traveling for business in this area! I needed a pedicure along with acrylic fill. Prior to selecting the location I called inquiring about pricing and services offered. Upon arrival at the location I was greeted with you called I replied yes. I specifically asked them about colors available because I wanted bright but not neon. I expressed this several times being assured they had a color that would meet my desire. Lynn along with another lady attempted to be very helpful to assist me selecting a color despite not being successful. My pedicure was great my technician Ella was kind and did a great job. Awesome foot massage. My nail tech was Van she went above and beyond to ensure I was pleased with my service. I ended up with a neutral light pink which looks great! Thank you entire salon team! read more

I would recommend this place because it is amazing and the nails are well done as well.

I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want her to get too booked for me, but she absolutely deserves it. Kathy is an absolute gem of a nail artist. She pays really close attention to detail and does amazing hand painted art. I've never been disappointed with her work. She's super kind and easy to talk to as well. Thanks Kathy! read more

Melody Nails - My halloween nails. Absolutely nailed it lol - Nail Salons Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

I was overdue for My Gel X recently, coming into to my birthday week, I happened to be nearby so I gave Melody Nails a call, just to see if by chance they could fit me in, as I was in the neighborhood, and really needed help. They were very kind, receptive, and truthful with me, they were not able to do a full Gel X, But, they were happy to invite me in, for a regular Gel Mani and Pedi, which was fantastic! All of the ladies were very nice, to both me, and to all the clients in and out of the salon. I really appreciated the way they worked together seamlessly to make me feel welcome, cared for, and made sure I got excellent service, yet stayed completely in integrity with all of their standing clients appointments. I chose the Hottest, Hot Pink Gel, #19 for my birthday and it's a fabulous job, it still looks brand new, today even though it's been over a week, and I work with kids and dogs constantly! Beautifully done ladies, I'm thrilled to have another really amazing resource local to me, for exceptional nail Services. Thank you all. I'll be back PONI SUMMER ALTVATER read more

I had such a wonderful experience at this nail salon! I work down the street and I was in desperate need to get a regular manicure and pedicure for my two daughter's first communion. The owner Pauline was such a great help and got me in quickly. She was very sweet and the salon was very clean. It had a calming environment and great chairs to sit in for a nice massage. The other workers are very professional and have great skills providing excellent service. I am now a regular because they were able to do my services in less than an hour. You just have to book an appt at least a day in advance. read more

They were definitely overbooked. My appointment was 10am for a gel mani and pedi and I sat in the chair for about 15 minutes before someone even brought a towel over. My mani started about 10:20 and my pedi started about 10:30 with a 10am appointment. The nail tech working on my toes kept getting up to do other things like clean the last chair she used or whatnot. Then took forever trying to find the matching non gel color for my toes which they ended up not finding so I had to choose something different. Im not a huge covid freak but if you are, there's no social distancing and it's a small space. Great massage chairs though. Ladies are nice enough. read more

Melody Nails is a wonderful nail place! I haded't gotten my nails done regularly previous to going to Melody Nails but now I get a gel manicure and a regular pedicure regularly. I love Pauline and all her employees. Everyone is very warm and kind, and I love the quality of gel and polish. From the massage chairs, the polish and gel color selection to the amazing service, I'd recommend Melody Nails over and over. As a cherry on top, they also always have a a video blogger show on that is very entertaining and soothing. Ten out of ten! read more

Wow! So happy to have found a nail place where the women actually care about the state and health of your nails! Linda is so sweet and took her time to make sure my nails are looking flawless. Pauline is a total doll as well - she made sure to go over the price breakdown with me and as a new client I really appreciated that. They were so kind to my daughter and I truly left calling my bff telling her to start coming here. Also, we witnessed them having to deal with a not so nice client and they handled it well. Just a typical person who wanted to complain I guess. read more

This was the second time I had gone to the salon. The first time I had a decent manicure pedicure, so I thought I would go back the second time I went there. I was asked three times if I wanted the same color on my hands and my toes I said yes I said I want gel on my fingers and regular polish on my toes. I gave them the color before they started and they asked me again if I wanted the same color on my fingers and toes. I said yes well come to find out after they painted my fingernails. They said they didn't have the color for my toes to match and I said why and they said well we don't carry it but we'll try to find a color similar. They couldn't find a color that matched. They said I could pay extra $20 to have the same gel color put on my toes but it would have to be gel I said absolutely not. That's not what the deal was when I first got there. I will never go back here again. They bamboozled me into getting my nails done there by lying to me in the beginning. Not a professional place at all. This place just wants your money. They don't care about anything else but the money. read more

Came here for a last minute manicure gel that absolutely needed before a holiday party. They took my right away and my nails look great!

They kept changing prices and would talk amongst each other to increase and decrease. They kept trying to talk me out of french tips and gel polish. I almost walked out a couple of times but one of them felt bad so I just settled. Would not come again, might get a different price every time. read more

I really wanted this to be my new go to spot for pedicures but unfortunately I was very underwhelmed by my experience. I came in for a full set and a pedicure - the full set was fine and the lady doing my nails was sweet. I get my nails done elsewhere typically so for me I was really looking for a new pedicure spot that wasn't in the OC. However, the pedicure was very subpar in my opinion. My pedicure lasted about 25 minutes give or take (my massage chair hadn't even moved positions on my back thats how short it was) There's no hot rocks, barely a massage, no foot wax - literally nothing special. I added on callus remover AND scrub (which was a $20 up charge) and I feel like for the price I could have paid a bit more elsewhere and gotten more bang for my buck. If you want a treat your self type of pedicure then this place isn't it. Because theres no menu really anywhere online I didn't have any idea what came with the pedicure but because of the high reviews I figured it had to be worth checking out. If you're looking for a basic pedi and mani place then this is a great spot - the staff is friendly and you'll be in and out pretty quickly - however if you're looking for a little more of a premium pedicure experience then I would look elsewhere. read more

Pauline and Linda did a fantastic job on my manicure and pedicure! I would definitely go again. I was super indecisive with the colors and they were really patient and kind. The salon is small but everyone who was getting their nails done were talking and enjoying their Saturday. It has a good vibe and they follow covid-19 guidance (wiping down areas after a client leaves, etc.) Definitely go and ask for Pauline or Linda if you can! Wonderful place :) they've been around for 17 years for a reason! Thank you Pauline and Linda for being so sweet! My nails look so good! read more

I want to say here that the owner is a really good person, I wasn't happy with my pedicure result, but Pauline came and talked to me and everything is fine. As an owner she cares about her client. And that is something I appreciate..a lot. For sure I will be there again. read more

AMAZING SALON FOR ALL YOU LOCAL ANGELINOSPauline is the sweetest, most generous, kind, artistic, skilled nail artist! She squeezed me in for a pedicure when I had no appointment and was just planning to wait for my sister to finish. Paulina then proceeded to schedule me a waxing service in the blink of an eye. To top it all off, she seng me home w her own skin care after wax remedy after I mentioned I have sensitive skin. She did not charge me for this . She is the most adorable salon I've been to in years, also SPOTLESS and clean as F. Enjoy read more

Went for the first time today and will be back! They were super nice and took their time making sure my nails were to my liking.

It took me awhile to find this spot. This was probably the 4th shop I've tried around the area. And thank God I did because, they have the best customer service. I love Ella and Pauline. The ladies are so friendly and very patient with their customers. My first time going there, I messed up my pedicure while standing up from the chair. Ella was so nice and did my toenails again. Best nails shop I've been to and the price is not that bad too. read more

Don't trust the bad reviews about this salon. I recently moved to the area and needed to get my nails done before meeting my mother in law. I made an appointment a few days in advance (they get busy!) and was so impressed once I arrived. My sister came with me but didn't make an appointment- even though they said they didn't have enough time due to appointments, they managed to squeeze her in for a pedicure and a wax! Pauline helped my poor nails come back to the lustful pre-COVID condition, all while cracking jokes and laughing along with my sister and I. Hands down one of the most comfortable nail salons I've ever been to. Definitely my go to salon. Pauline has a client for life! read more

Wonderful service ! Owner is super nice! Very clean! All the lady's are great! I have been going there for many years.

Called this facility three times three different days confirming my appointment then showed up the day of the appointment and they canceled the appointment and gave my seats away and said oops sorry when I arrived looking forward to getting my nails done for the wedding that is the next day but instead they're gonna get a crappy review telling everyone that this is a waste of time not to go here Tiny space that smells really really bad too read more

I really enjoyed getting my nails done here! Everyone is very kind and I got a gorgeous gel from Japan that lasts longer and is super pigmented! The colors are gorgeous.

My sister and I got our nails done at Melody Nails and we were blown away by the great, friendly service. Pauline gave us green tea and was so welcoming. They checked our temperatures at the door and gave us hand sanitizer and they have plastic screens at every station to protect the customers. They are doing a great job at protecting people from COVID. And our gel nail manicures turned out lovely. Very professional but warm and friendly. I highly recommend! read more
