I hate giving bad reviews but I must say... the service was poor. I walked in and nobody was waiting so I was seated right away. The lady doing my pedicure was rushing and she cut me while getting rid of my cuticles... the next day which is today, my right big toe is now leaking PUSS. Seriously? This is the first time anything like this has happened. I'm super disappointed. Ladies and men come get their nails done to make themselves feel better but I came out with toes painted outside of the nail (since she was rushing) and it was not cute. Even better, now my right toe is in so much pain with puss leaking. I'm cleaning it myself and hoping it won't get any worse. But anyway, I really expected more from a place with 4 stars. Glad other people didn't get the experience I had. read more

My favorite local place, Tammy and her team are awesome! They're fast, do a great job, affordable and your usually in and out in an hour max for a mani/pedi. Appointments are recommended but not necessary, they're very accommodating and try to accept walk ins always! read more

I have been coming to pristine nails For over 4 years, and I understand that new Covid measures may have caused an increase the cost of doing business, like when previous owners raised added a five dollar service charge. Under new ownership prices have doubled. Manicures are a luxury and not a necessity in most cases, and for that reason I will not be returning. And also because the quality of my manicure (acrylics) have not been consistent. (Fills are now $40 plus, before it was under $20 easy.) read more

I just can't say enough how much I love coming to this salon for my pedicure. The service is outstanding from the owner down to the staff. When you arrive they first ask if you would like water or coffee. I always go for the Vietnamese coffee. I usually see Lee for my pedicure but the whole staff is good at what they do. That leg/foot massage at the end of my pedicure had all the stress leave from my body. The massage chair is extremely relaxing too. My whole family comes here. My sister and both of my parents get their nails done here too. Highly recommend it! read more

I visited Pristine Nails & Spa for a gel mani and regular pedi with Nancy & Lee respectively. Disclaimer: I am extremely picky and both ladies surpassed my expectations. Diane, the owner is welcoming and accommodating. There is a great number of gel colors from brands including OPI, DND, IBD etc. similarly a great number of regular polishes too. Lee has amazingly strong hands and gives great massages and is thorough with her pedicures. Nancy is incredibly gentle, and also very thorough in her work. I've also tried Tracy, she is also incredible. I am happy with the new management (Diane) and the service has improved so much under her although I did like the former management but something was definitely lacking. This salon has my recommendation so give it a shot, you won't be disappointed! :) read more

New to the area and so glad this was the first and last nail salon I'll need to try in Glendale! My 6 year old son and I called for last minute gel pedicures and were treated so wonderfully and left with the prettiest toes. The owner was present and attentive and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. It's no surprise why her staff was happy and friendly and did such great work. Also so sweet to my little guy. We will be back! Covid precautions were most definitely met (I'm licensed cosmetologist) and the place in general was beautiful and spotless with a the most comfortable massage chairs I've ever been in. read more

Thank you so much to Diane and the entire team At pristine nails you guys have truly made an amazing experience I love getting my nails done the best pedicures manicures I've ever had they do the best gel X!!! I finally found a nail salon in Glendale that I can go to read more

We had gone to another nail salon initially and waited nearly an hour with an appointment. We had looked up this one and called for walk in availability and they were able to help us so fast. we are soo glad we came here instead! We were seated immediately, there are so many colors to choose from, and they offer complimentary coffee and water! The staff is also incredibly friendly. Thank you for helping us get 3 mani pedis on a Friday night!! read more

I was very skeptical when I came to the salon. However, Tom was fabulous and was able to make my feet feel brand new again. Thank you

Love my nails. I called and was able to get seen the same day. I had to wait but was expected due to the short notice. I might have just found my new nail salon. read more

I've been going here for 6 years now and its my go-to. Even though I moved 40 minutes away from Glendale a few years ago, I still make the drive here because it's both affordable and clean (and trust me I HATE driving so this says a lot). Whether you come in an as a walk-in or make an appt, they're almost always good with time and make sure you are taken care of. There were only a couple instances where one of the ladies and one young man was too rough with cleaning my nails that caused bleeding and pain... but majority of the time, the service overall has been a pleasure for me. A big plus, is there is a small parking lot for them and if that lot is full, you could always find a spot by the neighborhood even though it's a little bit of a walk. read more

Nice clean job on my gel mani & reg pedi. Tom & Kitty were very nice. The salon was also clean. Plenty of nail color options! Would come back read more

I came in as a walk-in for a mani-pedi. The place is well-lit and spacious. They have a good selection of nail colors. Things were looking good when I walked in. I was really unsatisfied with the manicure portion of the service. It was rushed and just felt really unhygienic. They girl filing my nails sprinkled nail dust all over the seat, my water bottle, and my arms. Then, she didn't let me wash my hands so she ended up massaging lotion and nail dust into my skin. I felt SO gross. also, she didn't wear gloves and her hands were extremely rough. The pedicure was a little better, but I was so put off by my mani that I just couldn't enjoy the experience. I also don't like that they touch the cuticle oil/lotion bottle to the customer's skin, because I believe that transmits bacteria/fungus between customers. read more

I've been coming to Pristine Nails for years. Tammy and Jessie are the best! I don't normally like getting pedicures but Jessie is always gentle, thorough and has never cut me. Tammy does my powder fill on my nails perfectly and beautifully. The salon is clean, they honor appointments timely and everyone is nice and friendly. Thank you ladies! read more

Came here because it had decent reviews on yelp. Needed a quick gel manicure before my trip. Gel manicure ran me $27 which I'd say is average. The manicure itself was not great. The file that my technician used must have been old because my nails were ragged not to mention very crooked. I asked her to file it again (I just asked once). She filed it but multiple nails were still slanted. So I thought maybe she just can't see that they aren't straight. I will say that she spent quite some time with me since there was not that crowded. Since she had more time, she went to town on my cuticles. Am I happy with my manicure? Meh. Don't expect anything great. I think there are better places. Color selection: huge. Cleanliness: very clean. Parking: some parking in the back, which was nice. Overall: I don't think I will be back. Ps. They take credit cards but tip must be in cash. read more

I went here yesterday with a girlfriend around noon and it was completely empty. It was a Wednesday and we got a SPA manipedi for $22! It's their special price from m-w. There was a man and a woman and I think the man mostly does the feet and the woman did our hands. They switched off cleaning but I didn't get my nails painted but I wanted French tip on my toes so the lady left after my manicure did my friends manicure then did her toes. The guy ended up painting my toes which confused me... I don't understand why she didn't just finish up with me. I was a bit jealous thought because she does a better job with the french tip than the man after comparing pedicures with my girlfriend afterwards. Otherwise the whole experience was good. They had a tv, things were pretty clean and neat. They had a good selection of OPI colors and the seats were comfy. I will definitely come again for their spa manipedi special! read more

Pristine Nails & Spa - Me and my friends French tip pedicures. $3 extra - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

Great salon with very sweet and talented employees. I get cute designs every time I go and whoever ends up doing my nails always helps me pick and voice their opinion's. I can be very indecisive, so it's nice being able to hear others thoughts. Last time I went I even got a discount on designs from Kristine! Just moved here and glad I already found my go to nail spa read more

Quality of service: 3-4 dependent on whom you get Cleaniness: 5 Stars Time-management: 2 Stars Pros: Sanitized nail tools, foot bath and free water bottles Cons: Limited massage chairs (6). poor time management (I overheard a lot of the patrons coming in with appointments but they still had to wait because everyone was busy) $29 manicure/pedicure By far one of the better nail salons I've been to. I would recommend and come back if I was in the area read more

Pristine Nails & Spa - Perfect manicure!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

Nice, clean place. They were able to accommodate me the same day. Not too impressed with the gel manicure, couldn't tell if made it was the end of the day, but my manicurist rushed a bit, cut me, and left edges of the gel on the sides of my nails. I need camera perfect nails, and I wasn't happy. Not bad, but definitely not great. read more

I've been coming here for quite a while and I will keep coming! The first time I came the lady who did my manicure made me bleed but the girl who did my pedicure did such a good job I ended up coming back! I haven't seen the woman that made me bleed since... I always have a positive experience, they are quick, meticulous and very inexpensive. They do a great job and my manicures usually last a while. (That's saying a lot considering I'm known for breaking, scratching and otherwise destroying my nails) There were two times that my nails chipped within the day (which sucks cause I hadn't even put them under my usual wear and tear at that point). Despite that I love their choices in color, how great they are at accommodating same day appointments (or just walk ins) and how sweet most of these ladies are. Nancy does an excellent job! read more

Came in for a regular mani ($18) and pedi ($22), happy with the pricing and even happier with the service. Made an appointment ahead of time and didn't have to wait long before I was set up with 2 technicians (Erik and Tom) who were very friendly and courteous. I loved the overall vibe, felt very relaxed throughout, will come back again. read more

I finally found a great mani/pedi place on Glendale that I would actually come back to!!! This place is clean and all the workers are super nice and polite. They're all detail oriented and pay attention to all the nooks and crannies of your nails making sure you walk out of there with beautiful and polished fingers and toes! They also give you a nice, cold bottle of water to enjoy while you're getting pampered. Prices are very reasonable and their work is superb. I always get a gel manicure here and it's lasted over 2 weeks without any chips. Pedicures are also great and it's lasted me for a long time as well! Love this place and I can't recommend it enough! Special shout out to KELLY, LY, and HELEN! You gals rock!!!!!! read more

I work with my hands and I change gloves about 200 times a day. Having a nice manicure is not a luxury for me, it's a necessity. I've been getting gel manicures for 4 years now and have tried many salons. This is my favorite. First and foremost, the technicians are very nice and thorough. Since my hands get a brutal beating form the gloves and sanitizers, they tend to dry out and crack. The techs make it mission to restore them back to cleanliness and health. Cuticles are left looking immaculate and the polish is applied to perfection directly at the cuticle-nail juncture without any fuzzies, bumps or streaks. My nails polish lasts no less than 2 and a half weeks! Their gel manicure color palate is as extensive as their regular polish palate and the techs are able to match them to a T when I get a pedi. Needless to say, I'm a very happy customer. read more

I came here randomly as I was visiting a friend in town and I am so happy that I did! Amy is the one who did my nails and she made them look beautiful. She really took the time to clean my nails and shape them the way I like. I'm writing this review one week after I came in and my nails still look perfect! Thank you guys so much! I wish I lived closer so I could come here regularly! read more

I came here with my friend for the first time from a recommendation from another friend! We were welcomed and got help from picking out colors, the ladies at the front desk were very friendly and welcoming. Nancy was the nail tech who did our nails and we are very happy with what we got. My nail art was something new to Nancy and she did very well doing it. I really appreciate listening to some JLo, Rihanna, and Beyonce music while getting nails done, but also the friendly staff that made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I will be coming back for sure :) read more

Pristine Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

I wanted to give them 4 stars but my nails started chipping 2 days later!! And I also realized that the pedicure person did not put a top coat on my toes.... When I first got to the nail salon, I was really excited since yelp was raving about it. When I called to make an appointment for three people, the main guy said to come in around 530 or after 630. We came around 530 and was asked to return back at 630 because they were busy. Since I wasn't in a hurry and could run couple of errands I said okay. When I finally came back at 630 two of us got seated right away and I waited 20more minutes. That was fine since they were really busy and it seemed like they were trying to do their best nail jobs for each customer. It seems like they are very popular thus the long wait time. I got a mani pedi ($26), one got a mani ($12) and another got a pedicure ($17) and callous removal ($10 extra). Everyone got a half bottle of water to drink while getting our nails done. Their callous removal isn't worth the $10. My mother has gotten callous removal every month and she still had callous after her treatment. When she complained, one of the ladies said she needs to get multiple callous treatment. When we explained to her that my mother regularly gets it, they sat her down again and redid her feet. They didn't give us dirty looks but were courteous when they re-did my mother's heel. The result after the 2nd treatment was still not satisfactory but we didn't want to stay any longer. I felt good after my manicure/pedicure but couple days later I was really really disappointed. I found out that my toes did not have a top coat on at all, and my nails already started chipping two days ago. I also had nasty cuticles couple days later. See picture. I could get a much better deal for $20 mani/pedi which could last me at least a week or two. Maybe I just came on a busy night. I don't know. The wait, the results, and everything else all panned out to being a 3 stars place. UPDATE: the owner messaged me back saying why I didn't tell the whole truth.... There is nothing on my review that wasn't the truth... we came in 440 because the guy said to come in before 530 or after 630. But when we got there, they were really busy, and told us to come back at 630. That's EXACTLY what we did though we were late about 10 mintues, I called them and told them we were running a little late. I appreciate that they were trying to make their customers happy and even worked on customers after their closing hours, and I have grudge against them. I just did not like my experience there and thus my review of 3 stars. read more

Pristine Nails & Spa - Um this is the next day at lunch time after I got my nailed done at 8pm the day before...disappointed about my cuticles...eww - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

I came in on a Tuesday morning for a gel manicure and got seated right away which was nice because I was pressed for time. The technician Sarah was very nice however she cut me which hurt a lot and the polish was done poorly, it looks like it's melting off my fingers. There's also a lot of sides/ridges left unpolished. On top of that there's an additional $3 charge for using OPI polish I don't understand why when there's so many salons where OPI brand is just standard. Overall, I really wanted to like this salon, it's close to home and there's a parking lot but I will not be coming back. read more

My favorite nail place in Glendale. Tammy & Jessie are both sweethearts. The shop is very clean, they are extremely reasonably priced, and my favorite, they have massage chairs without an extra charge to sit in them for a pedicure. I've been going to this place for a couple of years now. My gel manicures last 3+ weeks (with OPI polish) when Jessie does my nails, and I am pretty rough on my nails. I would suggest making an appointment, as they are always pretty busy. I usually call and am able to make a same day appointment. Love love love this place. Don't forget cash only for tips! They have an ATM there, but there is a $2.50 surcharge. $1 charge for using a credit/debit card. Best to pay with cash, really. read more

Went to pristine for the first time last night. I needed a manicure done before my friend's wedding on Friday and knew that I did not want a place similar to wear I got my manicure for NYE (pricey & yet the service wasn't great ) Overall, I was very satisfied with my visit. The staff were welcoming, professional, and the place is clean and orderly. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask the name of the woman who had done my nails, but she was awesome! I had shown her a photo of another customer's nails done from their nail salon and she was able to replicate the photo without using acrylic as the customer in the photo had done. My nails look so pretty and shaped perfectly that my mom thought it was acrylic when I showed her later that night. As I was observing the manicurist, I noticed how attentive she is to the smallest detail and I loved that! She was professional, easy to talk to, and made me feel confident in her work. I think I've finally found my manicurist. I'll make sure of it to go back and ask her for her name for my follow up. I seriously can't stop staring at my nails. Lol! Love it!!! read more

Pristine Nails & Spa - First time visit and I believe I have found my manicurist. Woohoo!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

Really enjoyed doing nails here for a past few months and would give the best review... But today's visit was pretty disappointing. Besides the fact that the master was talking on her phone during the manicure, (which I can understand if it is an emergency,but I don't think it was), she put not as many layers as the previous master and the color I really wanted to have looks pale and feels like it would not stay as long as previous time. read more

I walked in without an appointment and they had an opening and took me in for a pedicure. I showed the nail technician what I wanted done and she said okay. When I asked her for a different color base for the French manicure she flipped out and said she doesn't have time. The. She said you didn't want gel, she never told me I couldn't have the look I wanted without gel. Why do you take a customer and than tell them you don't have time. Apparently if you want a French manicure you have to make that clear before they take you in for service. Never ever have I heard of such a thing. I noticed that a few of the tools that she used during the pedicure were not in the prepackaged sanitary packs. In my frustrated I did say I would be calling the health dept. I have never felt like this after leaving an appointment, what a waste of money. I guess it's my fault for wanting to support a local business. read more
