My nails
Emma N.

I wanted to do a natural and simple look. Nancy did an amazing job! She was so kind and very knowledgeable. Will definitely go again! Thanks Nancy! These pictures don't do it justice.

Always makes my nails look flawless and natural! I like that it's a quiet private space, no crowds. My appointments are always on time, and she takes her time to give me the best nails. Thank you, Nancy!

Ahhh, so glad to have my nails back to normal!

Nancy did a fantastic job on my nails. Location: this is located in the back of Jubilee Salon. Jubilee Salon is squeezed between two businesses. There were a couple of spots up front, but the lot is located behind the building which isn't accessible from Lake. You can cut through grocery store parking lot next door to get to Mentor to enter the lot. I had called to make an appointment, the day before. I arrived a few minutes early. I keep it simple when it comes to my nails. I want nothing more than a basic mani & pedi. I like the nail shape rounded (there have been times I have had to argue that I don't like square). In fact, I usually arrive with my nails already shaped, I just need them to clean it up. Nancy did exactly what I wanted and was meticulous. Perfect. Plus, she did my mani first to ensure that they were dry, prior to leaving. THANK YOU! This is one of my pet peeves with salons. Its been several days and my nails still look great. Nancy was friendly. Bonus, salon had reality shows to watch while getting my nails done. Nice! Definitely call to make a reservation because her phone rang at least 4 times, while I was sitting there. Finally, basic mani/pedi was $30, Cash Only.

I've been going to Nancy Manicurist in the Jubilee Salon for the past 4 years. I've become a regular for my gels and pedicures. What I appreciate about Nancy is how she runs her business. You will get quality nails that last longer than normal. Nancy and Lily take the best care of you. Nancy books by appointment only. It is quiet and there isn't more than 2 people at a time. You don't wait because she is strict about appointments and does not overbook. She is extremely flexible and will work with your schedule. I now book out the next 2-3 appts out and if I need to change I text her. The equipment and tools are sterilized, clean and the nail salon is in the back of the Jubilee Hair Salon separate in its own section. Park behind the salon off of Mentor. I like having my routine every two weeks and knowing my nails are fabulous.

Found Nancy on Yelp. Called to schedule an appointment for a full new set of pink and white. I'm very picky about my pink and white so I reserve about going to someone new. Nancy was very prompt for my 5:30 appointment. She's very professional, super nice, and did an amazing job on my new set. They're thin and shaped exactly to what I asked. Her facility is clean and the stations are spaced so that I could sit comfortably. I made my next appointment in 2-1/2 weeks. I'm hoping that I've found my nail person....but only time will tell how my nails grow out. Keeping my fingers crossed that there isn't any lifting or cracking. Will update review in regards to this last paragraph...but in the meantime, LOVE the way they turned out!

Nancy's work....love the shape & color!!  Thanks Nancy!!

I needed to find a new manicurist in Pasadena. I came across the yelp reviews for Nancy and Jenny. I'm very happy I decided to get them done at their nail salon. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere, look no more. It is not like the other nail salons that are hustling and bustling...the gel manicure and pedicure are top notch! Feels like you are in a exclusive salon. They are both very sweet and meticulous with their work. Thank you Nancy and Jenny!! I'll see you both in a few weeks. : ) ~Carla

This is an exceptional salon! BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. No walk-ins means no pressure and no rushing, No one is constantly interrupting your appointment. I found this a refreshing change from most salons in the Pasadena area. If you appreciate attention to detail, cleanliness, timelines, quality, selection of color, surrounded in a peaceful environment this is a place you would enjoy. Nancy goes the extra mile and you feel pampered and cared for. Pricing isn't anymore expensive than anywhere else I've been. Nancy is worth it!! My nails look amazing, not thick, not shaped funny and they all are the same length. Absolute perfection. There is plenty of free parking and the salon is easy to find. Make an appointment - you won't be disappointed.

Gel Manicure
Monica S.

She always does an amazing job at cutting my cuticles and always leaving my nails clean and polished. Never disappoints me and has a wide range of different color gels.

Jenny is awesome...got regular opi "devil's advocate" polish. Getting gel next time.

This review is difficult to write because I gave this salon multiple chances and truly wanted to support them as a Pasadena local, but what started as disappointment over birthday nails turned into concerns about sanitation, professionalism, pricing, and customer treatment. Please consider looking at the photos of my nails an hour after they were done. I initially overlooked things because there was one employee in particular who was very kind and I kept hoping my experience would improve. Unfortunately, after several visits, I began noticing issues that became impossible to ignore. I observed sanitation and maintenance concerns that made me uncomfortable, including openings in walls with exposed plumbing, tools appearing to be reused between clients without proper visible sanitization, and a communal nail brush in the bathroom that was later used during service. This raised hygiene concerns for me personally. My birthday appointment was the turning point. I specifically requested Serena. During removal, my nails chipped significantly and I felt the service was rushed. I requested nail strengthening treatment and a simple French tip, but the final result was thick and not what I had asked for. When I politely said I was unhappy with the outcome, the response immediately became uncomfortable. Cameras were repeatedly referenced even though I was simply discussing the result of my nails and not disputing what happened. I was told that whatever I chose next "better be right" because they did not want me returning unhappy later. The repeated references to surveillance felt unnecessary and unrelated to the issue I was trying to address. There were also concerns about pricing. The posted pricing showed removal and regular polish charges, however I was charged more than expected and left confused about the final total. The polish reportedly applied "free of charge" did not feel free when the overall bill had already increased. After payment there was little acknowledgment, no effort to resolve concerns, and the interaction felt abrupt. When my husband later tried to discuss the pricing and service concerns, the conversation escalated further. Cameras were referenced again, we were directed to contact the owner, a phone number provided was unreachable, and the situation became increasingly hostile rather than solution focused. At that point it stopped being about the money and became about customer treatment. I gave this place multiple chances because there were staff members I genuinely liked and wanted to support. Unfortunately, I left feeling dismissed, uncomfortable, and disappointed. I would encourage management to focus on professionalism, sanitation transparency, customer communication, and handling feedback without escalation. For those looking in Pasadena, I would personally recommend seeking a salon with clearer pricing, stronger customer service, and a cleaner environment.

In all that time, I have never once been disappointed with her work. Her attention to detail is impeccable, she has a beautiful selection of colors, and her prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of service she provides. Karen has completely transformed my nails, keeping them healthy, beautifully maintained, and consistently polished to perfection. I receive compliments on my nails all the time, which is such a testament to the care and skill she puts into her work. Beyond her talent, Karen is incredibly warm, friendly, and personable. Every appointment feels relaxing and enjoyable, and it is always such a pleasure spending that time with her. After two and a half years of consistently beautiful manicures and pedicures, I would not entrust my nails to anyone else. I cannot recommend Karen enough!

She was funny, personable, and a little talkative, but in the best way possible! We chatted about everything from travel and food to work and everyday life. It made the entire experience feel relaxed and genuine. Sophia was also extremely thorough with my treatment. Her attention to detail was impressive! She recommended a color for my French tips that would complement me, checked in throughout the service to make sure I was comfortable, and even double-checked the color to ensure I was happy with it. I really appreciated the care and effort she put into her work. I also treated myself to a manicure, and I'm so sorry I didn't catch the nail tech's name because she deserves her flowers, too! She was incredibly sweet, gentle, and thorough with her work. My hands look SO good and feel even better! You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and I truly appreciate the attention and care she gave me. Thank you so much! Beyond the services, I genuinely enjoyed the entire atmosphere at Jasmine Nail Spa. You can tell the whole team is locked in! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and working together. I especially enjoyed watching the staff joke around, laugh, and banter with one another. There's something refreshing about walking into a business where the employees seem to genuinely enjoy what they do and the people they work with. The vibes here are HIGH, the customer service is excellent, and the attention to detail speaks for itself. It's not just about getting your nails done; it's about the overall experience, and Jasmine Nail Spa definitely delivers. 10/10 experience! Thank you, Sophia, and thank you to the lovely nail tech who took care of my manicure. I appreciate you both! See y'all next month!

I love the dazzle dry selection of colors, and for someone who NEVER gets her nails done, the value is there for me.

Janet did a great job on my feet and Mikey did a great job on my hands with some friendly conversation. Love the complimentary drink option, the massage chair, the decor, and good lighting.

If you scroll through the reviews, you'll probably even see a positive review I've left in the past. Unfortunately, after being a loyal customer for years, I've decided it's time to go elsewhere. I spend upwards of $285 every three weeks for Gel-X, a pedicure, and relatively simple nail art. With my last two sets, I've experienced lifting. Most recently, my pinky nail began lifting exactly two weeks after my appointment. When I contacted the salon, I was charged an additional $15 to repair it because their policy only covers repairs within one week. For a longtime customer spending nearly $300 every three weeks, I would expect management to take into consideration that this has now happened with two consecutive sets and could potentially be an issue with the gel or products being used. Instead, I was simply charged again. Gel is also an additional $20, and over time, the extra charges begin to feel like you are being nickel-and-dimed, especially when there are independent nail techs offering comparable or better services without adding a charge for every little thing. Yuki is fantastic, and this review is in no way a reflection of her work or how I've been treated by her over the years. But as far as Maison Nail Sparks itself, the pricing, policies, and product quality no longer justify the cost for me. If you're going to spend this kind of money consistently on your nails, I would recommend exploring independent nail techs who may provide better value and stand behind their work when something goes wrong.
