I've been coming here so long that I decided it was time to update my review. I'm very happy that the excellent service and quality care have remained a top priority. Each station, as well as the entire salon, is cleaned and sanitized constantly. My technician was attentive and communicated with me, as she cared for my feet. Problems that were once there are now gone because of her expertise. I can hear other clients expressing their appreciation for the care that they are receiving with their manicures and pedicures. Staff is always available to help you with your polish type and color. They will also help match a hard to find color. They are very good at explaining the pros and cons of techniques and polishes. The salon is well ventilated. Walk-ins accepted but I always choose to make an appointment. There is plenty of parking in the adjacent parking lot. I usually am able to find a space right in front of the salon. I've always had an enjoyable experience! Surgical precision and attention to detail every time. read more

Nail Lounge - Prettiest nails ever! - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

Pho for lunch followed by a mani/pedi is one of my favorite treats. You can walk in or get a reservation. A lot of beautiful choices for polish. I like that they have a lot of choices for regular polish, not just gel. read more

I've been coming to Nail Lounge since I moved to Pasadena in 2020. I've had many different technicians do my nails here over the years and every time they do a fantastic job!! Most recently I came in to have my nails done after my fiancé proposed to me! This was my first time having my nails done by Chau, the owner. She talked to my fiancé and I the whole time about our lives, our relationship, and our upcoming wedding plans. She's so wonderful to talk to! For the nails, I requested a gel French tip with a red heart on each ring finger. She suggested we do a "micro" French tip to make my nails look longer, which I loved! Overall the nails came out great and I got so many compliments. I love this salon and will come back here time and time again! read more

Disappointing Experience - Unprofessional & Misleading I cannot recommend this place, especially for microblading. While the aesthetic of the studio is fine, the actual service and business conduct were highly unprofessional: Hidden Fees: After paying an already high price for the initial work (which was only "okay"), I was told a touch-up was required a month later. At no point was it mentioned that this would cost an additional, unreasonable fee. It is industry standard for the first touch-up to be included or disclosed upfront; instead, I felt deceived at the counter. Poor Time Management: My appointment time was not respected, leading to unnecessary waiting on top of the pricing issues. The quality of the work did not justify the "overcharged" initial price, let alone the surprise secondary fee. Save your time and money--go somewhere with transparent pricing and better respect for their clients' schedules. read more

I told him I haven't gotten my nails done in years, and he was really sweet. However, when I told him I wanted my nails slightly long, he gave me gel X. I didn't realize gel X was the most expensive option at $58. I wouldn't have chosen that if I had known. I also didn't know French tips are an extra $15. These are details you should tell your customers, especially since I mentioned I hadn't had my nails done in years, so I wasn't aware of those prices. He did an okay job. I do my own nails, but I wanted a change, so I tried this place. I'm kind of upset it didn't give me the experience I was hoping for. read more

If you are looking for a nail salon that's reasonably priced and does excellent job, this is the place for you. All of the girls are exceptional. They do a great job for every service that I ask from them. Most nail salons are always in a rush to finish to get more customers, but the ladies here take their time which I love. The last service I got was gel manicure with gold flakes and they did a fantastic job. The girls really know what they are doing and they sure know how to satisfy a customer. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Decent nail clean up but not the best application. Non existent massage - workers don't really seem to care. Someone else was getting acrylic or some other service that smelled so bad. No ventilation or circulation. Lower price and easy parking but not worth it anymore. read more

This is next day gel service they gave my mom. Offered me 15 dollars back or to bring my mom back in but overall this was a horrible pedicure over all the nails are not straight. I can't bring my mom back in and 15 dollars back isn't convenient for me being I even had to go out my way to come back and show them the picture... I told them don't worry about it I'm just going to leave a review... that's when they offered a full refund... they can keep the money cause I'm way too upset. What I will say is that the price matched the service. So if you want cheap then this is the place to come. read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars because this is the worst gel ex manicure I have ever received in my entire life. She didn't even paint the nail all the way there's like a bubble or whatever on the side of my nail mind you, I'm literally just writing this as I'm leaving this place. I did not have time to sit there and have her fix all of this stuff, but then she decided to grab my hand so tight tightly and let me know that if I'm not going to pay for my nails, then she has to cut them off. I said I am not that type of person that's gonna just walk out and not pay and let go of my freaking hand. She thought because I was black that I was just gonna run out of the store and not pay for my nails, and she was literally holding onto my hand so tightly to the point where I literally could not move I could not understand this. I don't think you understand how that feels to have someone literally grab your hands so tightly because they believe that you're gonna just be running out of their store and not pay. My nails look like I did them myself. read more

I've been here a couple of times and they've always done a great job, but today they blew my expectations out of the water! My sister-in-law and I made an appointment for noon, but showed up half an hour early and they took us in right away. I got a gel pedicure with callus remover for my hooves, and acrylic nails on my hands. I was extremely happy with both! I was serviced by two different women and each one paid close attention to whichever area they were working on. I rarely get that kind of attention to detail elsewhere! They were in no rush like other places who just try to get you out the door. My sister-in-law also loved her nails and was surprised at how affordable it was compared to the other salons she'd been to in the valley. I am obsessed with my acrylic nails, they are everything I could have ever imagined! The peach ombré is so beautiful and natural looking. The grand total (without tip) was $112, which is not bad at all! Also, cash tip only, so come prepared! read more

Hello everyone I am so happy to find that Nail Lounge on Colorado in Pasadena has a great, new to me, manicure product. Have you heard of soft gels/Japanese manicure, Russian manicure? All seems to be the same with different names. Yes they have this type of manicure. Nails turn out very natural looking, light on your hands, very shiny. My last pair still looked great after 3 weeks. Except for the growth of course. I also love Nail Lounge for a relaxing gel pedicure with foot massage. Thank you ladies. MV read more

It's always an amazing experience at Nail Lounge! They offer an impressive selection of colors and designs, making it easy to find the perfect look. All the nail technicians are incredibly talented, and the prices are surprisingly affordable. The friendly staff made me feel welcomed and pampered throughout the entire visit. I highly recommend Nail Lounge for anyone looking to elevate their nail game! Can't wait to return! read more

This place has gone waaaay down hill in the last year. I usually just have a quick in and out pedicure which I get about every 6-8 weeks. This place has been my go to place for the last couple of years. I never make appointments I'm always a walk in and they are very accomodating. Over the last year I've noticed it becoming a little less clean, lot of rotating staff...But the biggest issues have been the 3 times they cut me during the service. Blood! and today it was a guy and he was just awful. He was literally filing my toes. Not the nail my actual toe. I'm done! I can only speak to my service. I'm sure they do great work but patrons beware. The nice manager who used to be there is now MIA. It might be under new management. read more

I'm not really the type to leave a review unless specifically asked or I've had a bad experience, but it was on my mind to do one. I came to get my toes done here just as a quick service before an event I had today so I didn't have much of an expectation. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the service I received and stellar job that was done on my toenails. My nail tech, Jackie, was keen on finding the right color I described to her and was gentle with my pedicure. Not only was the color perfect, but the nail shape and overall experience was great. Additionally, I was able to walk-in earlier than my appointment time. read more

I've been coming here for about a year now and have had a wonderful experience with Lisa and Helen. Lisa's my go-to for gel manicure and Helen is with waxing. They are always welcoming and friendly with each of our interactions. The services provided also meet my expectations. Highly recommend them! read more

This place is great. Friendly, excellent service. Walk ins welcome and never a wait. We love coming here!

Niky did a great job! Never hurt me once which you would think is how it should be done and it should. You should never have a painful mani or pedi, unfortunately a lot of these girls do it too hard. read more

Nicky and Lilly did an amazing job Lilly did my full set acrylic and Nicky didn't my pedicure (she was amazing getting my ingrowns out) my nails look perfect and they were very kind considering I get anxious at nail salons very hospitable.

Nail Lounge - Gorgeous ombre! - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have never had such a terrible experience and service. I went in with even nails. Wanted dip. Kept making them too thick. I expressed they were uneven and thick as we went along. Then she used the file machine and made nics and chunks which resulted in needing to dip again over and over. Then added gel color to try to fix it and the paint isn't even fully on some nails. Still charged me $45. Hands don't match in shape. One nail was filed down completely and doesn't match the length or shape of the others. They are HUMPED up! Absolutely terrible salon. Took an hour and a half! She had no idea what she was doing. Do not go here unless you want your nails ruined and time wasted. read more

I was recommended this nail salon by my uncle and it was different from the one I usually go to. The environment was clean, quiet, and relaxing compared to Pearls. Kaylani was the person who did my deluxe pedicure. I got a regulmassage, hot stone massage, callus remover, scrub and WINE!!! She asked me if everything was ok or if it hurts. Shows me a timer for when I am getting a massage so that I know I am getting my money's worth. This place is fast! My friend got her mani and pedi done quick and is currently waiting for me. My boyfriend is enjoying his deluxe pedicure as well. We will be coming back :) read more

I decided to come the next 2 weeks to get a fill . As I'm getting my nails done I ask her the price . She then says 60 bucks ! The same price I paid for my actual set !!! Unbelievable they really tried to finesse me , So at this point I tell her ain't no way I'm paying the same price for a fill , so I made her take off my nails and put me a fresh new set !! The audacity of these people , she then says I'm lying and I show her my electronic receipt and doesn't even bother to apologize for lying . These ladies are thief's and will try to give u a run off ur money if u let them . to make matters worse there Apple Pay machine was down , so I had to Apple Pay her from my personal phone . This place is a shit hole and everyone in there has nasty attitudes & vibe . Grow up and own up to ur mistakes , I even left a tip to both ladies because by there performance & personality they definitely need it to lighten up there attitudes . SMH ! read more

The staff at Nail Lounge in South Pasadena is clean and welcoming. As a result of the car door slamming on my finger I had a nail that continually split down the middle whenever it grew beyond a certain length. I was always self conscious about my nails until I went to nail lounge. Of course, I have a favorite because she had a solution to my split nail. Now I love my nails and am so grateful to her for her expertise and advice for healthy nails. I highly recommend Nail Lounge. First time I have had French tips and the nails are my own. I love them!! read more
