Deep cut on my finger from nail tech
Some L.

They cut up my fingers! Read below... I have been going here for a year now, it started out well, staff was nice and the couple of girls who would always do my nails were nice and did a good job. As of the last 4 months it really went downhill, my usual nail lady has been double booked the last 3 times I have came for my appointment, they leave me sitting there for literally 30+ minutes sometimes waiting, despite me having a confirmed appointment for a specific time. This last time I came in once again with a confirmed appointment, to be told my nail lady whom I scheduled with, didn't even work that day? So they insist I use one of their other girls telling me she is really good. I had a trip scheduled and didn't have time to come back another day, so I agreed. My nails were hacked! I was literally bleeding on 2 separate fingers because the nail lady doing my nails kept chatting with coworkers and kept cutting me with the nail drill. Then she used alcohol to stop the bleeding on my cuts which burned. I now have bandaids and neosporin on 2 different fingers days later, healing the cuts still. I don't know why service, scheduling, and lack of care had gotten so bad at this place as of recently, but I wouldn't recommend this place and sadly I will have to find a new nail place.

I went back to Kim to get my nails fixed since they offered a discount on a new set to try and work things out. After putting a couple flowers on, she told me that my nails were too small to do the current design that I wanted to which I replied OK then I'd like a different design and she said "no I already put flowers. I'm not changing it" and then proceeded to do the design that I wanted, but not how I wanted it due to that and the fact that there is polished on my cuticles the lines are not straight. and the flowers are not rounded like typical flowers or like the flowers that I wanted in the photo a very simple design I will not be returning and do not recommend this business. Also, toenail polish (gel) bubbled up and got sticky.

We recently moved to the area and decided to give this nail salon a try. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing, from the inconsistent pricing to the poor quality of service and unprofessional attitudes. Before coming in, I called to ask about their services and prices. I specifically asked if they offered polygel, and I was told they didn't, but they offered something similar with extensions starting at $55. However, once we arrived, I was charged $70 for short nails, which was frustrating considering what I had been quoted over the phone. I also asked about a kids' manicure and pedicure and was told it would be $35. When we arrived, they asked my daughter's age, and when I said she was 12, they informed me that she would be charged adult pricing. I had no issue paying the adult price, but I certainly expected adult-quality service. The manicure and polish application on my daughters' nails were honestly a joke. The top coat was applied so thickly and unevenly that I had to ask them to redo it. Even basic polish application should be done properly, regardless of the customer's age. As for my own nails, my cuticles were not properly cleaned or trimmed, and the builder gel was applied so unevenly that my nails have visible bumps throughout. They look bulky, messy, and completely unprofessional. My gel pedicure is a whole other story and was just as disappointing. What made the experience even worse was the attitude of the staff. When you politely ask them to correct something or even compare the lengths of your nails to make sure they are even, you're met with attitude instead of professionalism. As a paying customer, I shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable asking for something as basic as evenly shaped nails or properly applied polish. Rather than being receptive to feedback, they make you feel like you're being difficult simply for expecting the service you're paying for. What bothers me most is that I came in expecting a relaxing experience for myself and my two daughters, especially since we are new to the neighborhood and hoping to find a salon we could regularly visit. Instead, we left feeling frustrated and disappointed with both the quality of the work and the customer service. I don't mind paying for quality service, but I do expect the results to reflect the prices being charged. And if something isn't done correctly, customers should be able to speak up without being given an attitude. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Poor workmanship, inconsistent pricing, and unprofessional customer service. I would not recommend this salon, and we definitely will not be returning.

Chanel is an amazing tech between the attention to detail and longevity of my nails when she does them!! This was my second set with her and I'm obsessed. As someone who works with their hands on a daily basis it's hard not to pop off a nail but since going to Chanel my nails last me well over a month!! Thank you Chanel

I've been coming to Paula's Nails for the past couple of years, and I keep coming back because of the exceptional service and genuine attention to quality and care. My nail tech, Chloe, is absolutely wonderful, she's so sweet, friendly, and always makes sure I get exactly what I want. She does an amazing job every time! Jonathan, the owner, is also great and always makes sure you leave completely satisfied with your service. Highly recommend Paula's Nails!

I had a great experience at Paula's a month ago that I did my bio gel mani with Chloe and she did an amazing job. I highly recommend her Staff very friendly and the salon looks pretty clean and neat as well.

Crome French tips bio gel manicure!!! Love them!!! By Tea!! And Deluxe Pedicure by Henry was 10/10. Both did excellent work, no cuts, and took their time instead of rushing. Very satisfied:)

Poor gel quality - nails broke within two weeks
Dani A.

Very disappointed with the flimsy quality and longevity of the gel manicure I received here. Everyone was really nice but fast forward two weeks later and 5/10 of my nails have broken down to the fingertip despite me having a desk job and not doing anything unusual to cause this. Been getting gel manicures for 10+ years and have never had anything like this happen to my nails. Definitely won't be returning.

I used to come here regularly, took a little break because ya know... the economy.. lol It had been over a year and I was greeted by name even without an appointment I love this entire staff. There standards are everythingggggg. Super clean and professional. Fairly priced. Leann did phenomenal so sweet and warm. Incredible attention to detail. Couldn't recommend this place more.

Nails, buffed, no polish
Jenn S.

Just had the best manicure of my life! I am not kidding - Don is amazing! She's got the best hands and is so talented!

I came here for the first time with a friend to get Gel-X, and I'm so glad I did! Khloe helped me out, and she was amazing! She was very detailed and made sure I was comfortable and okay throughout the entire process. I absolutely love how my nails turned out! I would definitely recommend coming here!! Ask for Khloe! She's amazingggg

Our nails person moved and this is the second place i've been to into my journey of finding our go to nail salon. My soulsis discovered the place by accident and she liked it so I went today with my mom on Valentine's Day. i try to get our nails done twice a month as it gets really difficult when I leave the gel too long. I am writing my review as Hannah finishes my pedi. Jonathan did the mani and the other 2 ladies attended to my mom. So i am going to post this without the finished product yet, nor how the nail polish have stayed neat and solid the next 2 weeks. Here's my observation for the 49minites I was here. But first let me mention that I called around 1pm to check availability for 4pm and the receptionist confirmed our appointment. As soon as I hung up the phone, I received a text about the appointment. That's a good sign of being systematic. We arrived 5 minutes before the appointment time and they immediately accommodated us. I was led to the main tables while mom went straight to the chair for her pedi. The turn around was quick so before Jonathan finished cleaning one hand, th had me move to the seat next to mom. Being aware of the customers is a good sign. I selected the regular pedi with callous removal for my stubborn callous, and a gel manicure. They have a wide selection of colors which I like. Jonathan was very attentive to th customers coming and going. He seems to know everybody, calling them by their first names and engaging in small talks is a bonus, 5-star customer relationship! He cleaned my nails well and even suggested coconut oil for my very dry hands and cuticle (which I appreciate). Hanah was very thorough with the spa and pedicure, regularly smiling and checking with me if everything is ok. I had a very pleasant experience with this salon and I'm positive to come back after 2 weeks, before I leave for the trade shows. They have a lot of staff so there's no waiting time; They have uniforms and they look professional, they wear masks and gloves. As soon as my mom stood up to move to the chairs across while waiting for my to finish, a lady was already on stand by with towels to wipe the chair, replace the plastic in the basin and prepare the chair for the next customer. I'm impressed! and if they have been doing this for a long time, then I am glad my friend found this gem! Let's see in the next two weeks coz at the last salon that I tried, the lady was good in cleaning the nails but their gel was probably old coz it quickly peeled off. I really hope this will be our go to salon... Will update soon.

How much for Gel x?

A new set of Gel X is starting from $60 and up, depends on how long you want, that can be $5 for every longer length.

How much is gel manicure and can I schedule an apt for today at 6 pm?

How much is it to get a dip fill for acrylics?

I got dip and it was $40 I believe. Acrylic is different. I would suggest you call them. Ask for Harry he's amazing!!

How do you make an appointment when the mail box is full & nobody picks up during business hours?

They always answer during business hours and if not they will call you back. Make sure you have the right number.

How much is pedicure with gel?

How much for a regular mani pedi (not gel)?

I'm trying to call you guys to make an appointment and no ones answering. Called four times already. How do I make an appointment?

You need to call during their open hours and that is usually 9am to 7pm during the week. They always answer the phone during their operating hours.

Do I need to make an appointment?

I think it's always better to make an appointment so you don't have to wait. But I know they do take in walk ins when they can. : )

I made an appointment for this morning at 10 am with a young gentleman who scheduled the appointment. Salon was closed and we waited for half an hour before we left. There were other customers waiting as well. Why did this happen?

How much is a gel pedicure?

For just the standard pedicure in the massage chair it was $25, I believe the gel was $10 more but I'm not entirely sure!

Hi. How much is mani/pedi combo?

They have a picture of their prices.

How much does a gel manicure go for here?

Hi Cristina! Gel manicure cost $35, and we’re having a promotion that all clients will get 10% discount till the end of November. So you will only pay $31 for now! Thank you for asking! Take care!

Great refill store! They have donated glass jars for patrons that didn't bring any, as well as…read morereused plastic bags! Happy to have one in Pasadena, as I've been looking into more alternate options to reduce waste. They have all kinds of items, including conditioner bars which have worked great. They have all kinds of items you can use to lessen plastics and waste in your bathroom and kitchen like wool dryer balls, detergent, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner bars, bee wax paper to use to store food, and so much more! Check their website for more items. I called to ask some questions, and they were incredibly knowledgeable and let me know everything I needed to know so you can tell they are passionate about zero waste. There's streetside parking alongside target, and I think there is parking lot next to the store itself- which I didn't see until I was driving past it, so there's that too I believe? I came in 10 minutes before they closed (mainly because I had to rush to work to catch them before they closed) and they were very nice and let me know I could take my time. I wasn't rushed at all and I was able to buy my conditioner bar with no problems! Will be back to try their other products!

I've been wanting to try an establishment like this for a very long time. This was my first visit…read moreto My Zero Waste Store. Let me tell you, I was blown away. It's a small place - and street parking can be tricky. But I was fortunate to get a spot right out front. I stepped inside and saw the various containers of products and was pleased. Not only were there things that I use every day, but the prices were ridiculously affordable. Isela (theeee sweetest person) gave me a brief, but thorough "tour" that was absolutely fascinating. She answered any and all of my questions and provided me with a few donated containers for my purchase. So far, the star of this visit are the scented lotion and hand wash. Can't recall the name. But they are pricier than the other products. I don't care at all. I LOVE the scent. As a matter of fact, I'm going in this weekend for some more of the hand soap. I have it in my bathroom (foaming pump) and my kitchen (regular hand soap pump). I also diluted it to use as a shower gel. YES, doggone it!!! I'm kinda addicted! This is one of those places that you should actually do a personal field trip to. It will change your life. Believe it. Highly, highly recommended! UPDATE: I went back in for more hand soap concentrate and some retinol serum. By the way, soap and lotion brand name is "Further". Alyssa assisted me and she is an absolute DOLL. And I met her husband and best friend, who happened to be in the store. Simply delightful. I think this is going to be another one of my "happy" places.

Once you're in the store, this is a great location. Mainly because I think most people don't know…read morethis location is here. I've never seen it busy which is fantastic. Especially because I usually come here to just quickly pick up over the counter medicine. I always know that I am not going to have to spend a long time waiting in checkout. Or roaming the aisles for that matter as things are laid out in a very well thought out and labeled way. My main issue with this location is the parking lot. While it seems like it has a huge lot outside, it's in desperate need of upkeep. Mainling the spot markings. Things are so faded that there's basically no markings at all. I often get out of my car to realize I've parked in 2 spots unknowingly.

Terrible pharmacy experience. Will never use this pharmacy again…read more I transferred a prescription yesterday morning and received an email confirmation from Walgreens Pharmacy stating that my order will be ready for pick up today at 10:00am, at this specific location.

I just wasted a day of waiting for my meds, to only find out that nothing was actually done and nobody knows why confirmation email was sent to me for pick up. Walgreens obviously cannot be trusted, so if you want to receive your meds in a timely fashion, id suggest to go to a different pharmacy.
