I came to Nailgician/Christa desperate to repair my nails. After a trip to a salon and some chronic nail biting left my nails super brittle and short I booked an appointment for Nail Rehab to get my nail growth back on track and develop strong natural nails. She is really a miracle worker! I left with my nails feeling stronger than ever and I felt so pampered by her homemade scrubs, lotions, and serums. She is the kind of nail artist that puts the quality and health of your nails over everything. I can tell how meticulous and thoughtful she is as she works on my nails. After just a couple of weeks, my nails are already feeling stronger thanks to her service and nail oil. Her studio is small and cozy with a peaceful vibe; her playlist was so soothing I almost fell asleep! Christa is also just a sweetheart of a person -- really friendly and easy to talk to. I can't wait to return and keep growing my natural nails out. Thank you so much, Christa! read more

I've had so many bad nail experiences I *really* remember the few good ones I've had. I am also a purveyor of pretty and impractical #instanails, so my interest was piqued when my friend forwarded me Christa's information. Christa's salon is so cute and welcoming, I knew I was in good hands. She was so gentle with trimming my cuticles I didn't cry at all (normally I bleed while big crocodile tears roll down my cheeks). And she has an amazing selection of colors and product--Christa is a next level tech. Some of the products Christa used I have never even seen at other places. I could tell she cared about the quality of product she puts on her client's hands. I had reviewed her prices beforehand, and she told me her mantra was "nail art for all." I ended up going with black gel and a little negative space, and it looked amazing. I had random people on the street ask me today where I got my nails done. I am so happy with my nails! Thank you Christa! read more

Where do I began.... Well the work speaks for itself. Christa is talented and I mean one of a kind talented. I normally don't write any reviews and the last review I wrote was a negative review about an experience I had with the Olive and June in Pasadena. Finding someone that has both passion and great service is worth coming back time after time. Please don't skip this gem. read more

Christa is a nailgician! She transformed my nails (which did not get done during the pandemic) to spectacular works of art!!! First of all, she always cuts and files them exactly how I want it. They look perfect without polish, which should be the proper way to do it. Other places are so lazy when I ask for my nails to be cut a certain way. Next, I wanted gold glitter, and Christa didn't just apply glitter polish. She actually custom built different kinds of glitter to make my fingernails really shine! They look just amazing!!! Both my mani & pedi are sooo perfect that I can't stop looking at my hands and feet right now. Christa is also a really fun person to hang out with, so that's another plus! Before I ever discovered Christa, I would go to nail salons where sometimes the person doing my nails either didn't talk to me or spoke in another language to their coworkers the entire time. Oh yeah - she really, really, really cares about sanitizing her studio. Thanks, Christa! You're a magician AND an artist! read more

Being a new mommy I worried will I ever get my nails done. After taking some time to think about it and researched through yelp, I found Nailgician. I give 5 stars across the board for service, expertise, cleanliness and skills. I was able to bring my newborn baby into her studio which made it easy for me. She was very accommodating in allowing me to attend to my baby when needed. I definitely recommend Christas services if you looking for a good nail artist. Thank you for all your magical work. read more

Great nail technician and quality nails for an affordable price! Do not go anywhere else!! Met her while she was doing nails at a beauty event in 2019 and been in love with her work since. She is so welcoming and a great person to have a conversation with. You will not regret your time here - she makes the appointment so fun. At the end, she gifted me with a special made (for me) nail oil that I used for a long time. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Christa is an artist!! I met Christa when she was with Olive and June. She just recently went out on her own and I have followed her down the street to her new place. She is super creative and is always honest about what works and what doesn't. And the manicures are top notch!! read more

You know what's missing in most nail salons? The personal touch Christa provides at Nailgician! I get a manicure and pedicure regularly as a form of self care so I look for a technician who knows how properly trim cuticles and maintain healthy nails. Christa restored my nails after a horrible experience with gel polish from a hurry in and hurry out nail salon. She's a delight to chat with and the private salon suite makes for a clean, relaxing, hustle free environment! Thank you Christa, I can't wait to come back! read more

A Real Artist! Her pride as a Nail Technician shines through and is appreciated in the quality Nail Care that Christa offers with her service. She is always friendly and full of energy. Never been disappointed in her work. She glams me up every time. read more

I usually paint my own nails at home as a ritualistic form of relaxation, but sometimes for special events or vacations I want to treat myself. I've never had a one-on-one experience with a nail artist so I didn't know what to expect, but I gotta say it was a wonderful time! Christa is so endearing and friendly, and I felt like I was getting my nails done by a good friend. My mani/pedi was yesterday and I got normal polish on my natural nails so I can't speak for longevity yet, but my in-studio experience was lovely and refreshing. If you're looking for a fun, personalized, intimate nail service, look no further! Support Christa's small business! read more

So thankful for Christa for taking me on for a same day appointment. She was super nice and professional and had an awesome playlist.

I would def recommend and will be back. read more

Christa is such an awesome nail technician who has takes pride in nail care and design. My nails have always grown and been healthy as long as she been working on them. I actually stopped going to her for a year because I live in the Los Angeles area and she is in Pasadena. The drive was so far, so I tried to find a shop closer to me. Well, that proves to be a HUGE mistake. The last technician that worked on my nails split my nails down the middle. It was at that time, I called Christa back up and told her I needed her to do my nails again. Not only did she restore my nails back to a natural and healthy state, but they are growing so nicely again. Not to mention all the compliments I receive on the phenomenal designs she displays on nails. It is TRULY WORTH the long drive to have Christa at Nailgician work on my nails. I wouldn't let anyone else work on my nails. I highly recommend Christa!!! read more
