This is what my nails look like after a week.
Janet P.

Here's a polished version that is clear, fair, and specific: I came to this salon based on recommendations from several of my coworkers, but unfortunately my experience did not meet my expectations. My gel pedicure was fine overall, but I was nicked during the service and started bleeding. When I pointed it out, the only response I received was being asked if I wanted alcohol sprayed on it. There was no apology or additional concern shown, which was disappointing. The biggest issue was my gel builder manicure. Before the service, I clearly explained that I wanted the gap between my cuticle and the nail polish to non -existential. The technician assured me that once she added additional coats, the gap would disappear. It never did. It's only been a week, and my nails already look like they need a fill because of the noticeable space near the cuticles. For a fresh builder gel manicure, that shouldn't be the case. I was really hoping for a better experience, especially after hearing such positive things from my coworkers. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Some of my latest nail art with Gigi! Love this salon. Bella and Tera are amazing too!

Light Pink Gel X
Cecilia L.

This place is great! I got an appointment right away right when they opened. My nails are super short, so they suggested Gel X. I didn't catch my nail tech's name, but she was fast and did great work! Exactly like the picture I showed her. Great price too. Definitely coming back :)

Gigi did it again with the nails!! I love them, thank you!! I showed my inspiration photo and she nailed the vibe I was going for.

Hard gel fill ($55)

I've been coming to pure nail for a hard gel manicure for over a year now. I don't trust any other salon. The manicurists are kind and professional, and the environment is so welcoming -- they even give you tea/coffee when you walk in.

I've been going to Pure Nails Spa for going on three years now and I love it! The salon is clean, staff is responsive, and I can always get an appointment with my favorite nail techs. Tera always goes above and beyond bringing my nail visions to life. Her shaping, color matching, and art is unmatched. :-) I won't go anywhere else for my nails!! Also a plus, parking is easy to find and relatively inexpensive. I'm in and out in less than 1.5 hours.

french tip gel x nails

I took my little sister here to get her nails done for her graduation! Great service and good atmosphere. She loved how her nails turned out. We will definitely be coming back. Also - the nail shop is in old town pasadena which is a plus. :)

I've been coming here for about a year now, I'm about to move out of Pasadena, but I will come back every 2 to 3 weeks to get my nails done by Gigi! She is amazing, every design I bring her she can do. She is so talented and quick! The staff is always so kind.

Great service. The girls are always so nice. Everyone does an amazing job. Customer service very good.

Beautiful pink nails
Suzette F.

Ivy Did a great job with Barbie pink nails. I wasn't happy with the OPI color changing gel so I went back and ivy redid them and they look fabulous!

Short almond/round nails with cute chrome design
Cristina H.

Everyone was really nice. I don't regularly get my nails done so I always feel out of place in nail salons, but everyone made me feel welcomed and relaxed. I got exactly what I asked for and I will definitely be back. Thank you!

Only place I trust with my nails !! They always do amazing job !!! Natural look for me

I have never heard of this company before. I happened to be in the area on the 3rd of this month…read morewalked in around 2:30pm and was nicely greeted by Stephanie. She wanted to know what was it that I needed? Told her I only need an eyebrow wax and also an under arm wax. You can also make an appointment on their website or on the app. Right away I was seen by Maddy and Izzy. They wanted to know who I would be comfortable with. I said,"it doesn't matter, whoever does a great job" and we all laughed. Maddy took me into the room where they do the waxing, and started doing my underarm first, then my eyebrows. I told her not too thick, & not to thin. That's exactly what she did. Just a touch up. It was a very pain-free experience. I got the feeling that they use high quality wax and I was right. Heard other patrons talking about it. She even applied Aloe Vera to cool down the sensation, which wasn't bad at all. Some places don't do that. They sell many different types of products for your skin and hair. What I liked was that they didn't convince, nor force you to buy anything. To be honest with you, the price for both were a tad expensive. I paid $31 for my under arms, and $30.00 for my eyebrows. Yes, both of them. LOL.:-)) I have 2 eyebrows. Minus her tip. They do all types of wax, for women and men. Eyebrows, chest, bikini, underarms, legs, arms, lips, entire face, and more. Place was spotless clean, with street and private lot parking. They have gender neutral restrooms. I guess you get what you pay for! I will stop by again, if and when I am in the area. They have multiple locations and I would like to extend my thanks to both ladies, management and European Wax Center.

After I moved away and tried other places, the difference was clear, long, painful sessions! When I moved back to Pasadena, returning to Jenny was a wonderful. Her technique is so precise and fast you're in and out before you know it, almost unbelievably quick and comfortable compared to anywhere else. She's also genuinely warm, down to earth, and easy to talk to. She makes you feel completely at ease from the moment you walk in. Every appointment feels like catching up with a kind friend rather than just getting waxed. Her personality is the perfect bonus to her exceptional skill. The studio is cute, clean, and super convenient with easy parking. After experiencing the alternatives, I can confidently say no one else compares. Jenny is the complete package, outstanding at her craft and a truly nice person. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I recommend her to everyone!

It even smelled amazing. Even the bathroom felt luxe and thoughtful, which says a lot about the care they put into the space. My esthetician was wonderful. The whole experience felt pampering and soothing, even the extractions (yes, you read that right!). My one teeny tiny wish is that I would have loved more explanation as she went along about the products and steps being used. I would have happily splurged on skincare to take home if I had known what was on my face. That said, my skin was absolutely glowing when I left. It felt refreshed, hydrated, and just happy. Dehydration is usually my main issue, and this facial hit the reset button. Other little details I appreciated were the super convenient parking structure across the street. That's always a plus especially in Old Town Pasadena. Bottom line: if you are into self-care and skincare, this is your spot. I will definitely be back for another facial, maybe even to try a different treatment next time.
