If you like getting acrylics please do not use your money here. They do a horrible job of shaping and painting the nails. They also do not clean the area around the cuticle after making mistakes. And when I got home, i realized that instead of painting my nails black like i asked, they painted them blue. Not to mention the horrible service. The workers are very friendly, but do not know how to run a salon!

Thank you for making me feel comfortable and beautiful again I've been neglecting my many pedi for a long time. They are so nice here and make you feel comfortable and not pressured. Decent prices. But overall I will be coming back!

My 3 month affair with this nail salon ended today when I discovered fungus growing under my toenails!!! I came here once a month for a mani/pedi and was just about due for an upkeep, until I noticed darkened areas on both big toes where the nails had outgrown the polish. I immediately removed the polish to reveal what is shown in the attached photo. Gross!!!! Completely disgusted. This salon is not sanitary, obviously their equipment and tools are not clean and unsterile. Would avoid this salon at all costs and look elsewhere for your nail care.

My manicure, same day with polish redone.

The customer service is fine, the products (regular nail polish) is old thick and lumpy. Same day went back to get polish redone and the results were the same. Want to support neighborhood small business, but money is tight and service must be good. And let not forget the tip, must be satisfied or else.

My gel manicure after a month
Joyce C.

I don't normally get my nails done, but when I do, I have pretty high expectations. About a month ago, I had a wedding to attend and was in dire need of a manicure. I found this spot and was able to get a same-day appointment close to the wedding venue. When I got there, it was packed! Everyone and their mothers were there for manicures and pedicures. I had to wait quite a bit after my reservation time, but I wasn't too bothered by it. By the time it was my turn, the ladies were very nice and got started with me promptly. Service was quick and prompt. Pricing is very reasonable too. My only issue is the polish near the cuticle - it's not rounded off very nicely and looks a bit sloppy. It's not as noticeable when it's done, but becomes more and more as the nails grow out. Longevity is great though - manicure still holding up great after a month! I can see why this place is so busy!

Nice people, but these are my nails 5 days later. Gel is coming off already, nails are breaking, I had the gel powder harden all over my cuticles. They do a good job on feet but nails I do not recommend unless it's your real nail. I spent $85 for this. Won't be going back

I've tried to find a nail salon that actually pays attention to detail is Courteous their customers is clean it's really hard to find but I'm so glad you have come to Royal nails done at it really good care of me she did a great job with my nails they're elegant clean sharp reasonably priced at $30 for medium-length coffin shaped nails I'll definitely back the only downside is that it's a little hidden it's in the Rite Aid parking lot off of lake and Altadena Drive However the technicians are amazing but ask for Donna

Vinyl polish. Lasts for 3 weeks!!! No chips.
Emily H.

Great salon! Reasonably priced. Mani-pedi is $32. $5 more for vinyl. The vinyl polish is my new fave! It lasts for 3 weeks. Doesn't chip. The better alternate to gel. Comes off with regular polish remover so it doesn't ruin your nails. Lots of color options. The technicians are very professional...they do a thorough job, very meticulous. Bonus: the salon is in the same shopping center as an amazing gelato shop and yummy Greek cafe / bakery. Can't go wrong here.

This was my first time going here, after reviewing the reviews on yelp, I decided to try it out cause people were saying it was a very relaxing place and I must agree. I have never felt more relaxed, in fact I ended up taking a short nap during my foot massage, this will be mine go to spot from now on. Didn't get the name of the gentlemen that did my feet but he was awesome he knew all the pressures points and work them, it felt great

Love my pedi! Thanks Judy!!!
Aryanne P.

First time trying this nail salon and I'm so happy I did. I got a mani and pedi with Judy. She is excellent! Very kind, took her time and yet it was very quick. Prices are great, the salon is very clean, the massage chairs are new and so are the nail polishes. Staff is very friendly and nice. As I was there, a 94 year old man went to get his pedicure and I was impressed on how nicely he was treated, Michael did his pedi and it was very gentle with him. The salon is a bit hidden, it's on the far right side of Rite Aid, so plenty of parking spots. It's right by the best gelato in Altadena and some other shops. I do recommend this place and will definitely come back! Thank you Judy!

I got vinyl polish this last Saturday. Sad to see they only lasted 4 days with me. The colour swatches they have aren't accurate as well. This was colour 42 and was suppose to be a darker brown.

She even did a couple sample nails first on some extra acrylic nails on the side, just to show me what the color/ full design would look like when finished and we could look at it on my skin tone. (I really wish I could upload videos. So you can see how beautiful they are in the light and how the color changes with the cat eye design) What really stood out to me was the customer service and how welcoming they are for their customers, making it feel like home to them. There was an elderly woman getting in a pedicure done and even when she was done, they didnt rush her, instead they told her to relax and feel free to get a massage an close her eyes. As someone who struggles with social anxiety, I get nervous trying any new places, i'm not sure what the interactions will be like, if people may nice, so if you're like me, and you are looking for a new place to try, definitely give them a chance!

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 doesn't care if I'm only doing mani pedi on all appointments now. I would get judged in other places when I don't buy all the bells and whistles. No judgement here.

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. The dazzle dry manicure was $50 and the dazzle dry pedicure was $60, with the pedicure a bit cheaper than the other places I called nearby. 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. It took about an hour from start to finish with good customer service from everyone (and a clean bathroom). Great location next to Republik coffee! I walked from downtown Pasadena, but I believe they offer free parking or validation for parking.

This review is completely separate from my nail tech, Yuki, who has been doing my nails for the…read morepast four years and has always been wonderful. 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.
