My go to salon. Ask for Savannah. If you get hard gel overlay, she is your person. Very gentle on my nails and meticulous with the cuticle care. She even buffs my callus. It is appointment only, but I just text her to see when she's free. Tiny shop in a plaza with a few other spots such as Lee's Hoagies. I recommend bringing cash or Zelle to avoid the $3 cars read more

I came here last minute tonight (a Sunday) and the woman who worked on my daughter and I was very nice and accommodating. My 2 stars is for the pricing. I got a gel pedicure with French tip and my 6 year old got a gel manicure. The total price before tip was $130. I mean that is absolutely insane. I checked afterward, there is no website that lists pricing and inside the salon there's no menus or signs with the pricing. I think in 2026 this should not be allowed anymore. Pricing has gotten out of control but it's also deceiving to not have something set that customers are able to see. On top of that, I have been getting French tip on my toes for 5 + years and never once have I received one with such a thin line. The price breakdown was: $60 gel pedicure + $20 extra for French tip. I mean...the amount of white on my toes absolutely does not justify $20. My daughters (6 years old) was $50 and she finished with her in 15 minutes. Like I said the technician was very sweet. we were the only ones in there so that was nice. This is strictly for the insane pricing and lack of menus available for people to see pricing. I hate to show my feet on Yelp however, this is the French tip that cost $20 extra. All in all, enjoyable service but I won't come back. Nail salons need to start having menu prices listed. read more

Was on vacation and needed a pedicure stat, Yelp to the rescue! I just chose this location based proximity and positive reviews. It's priced reasonably and most importantly they take walk-ins. A fun little thing to do with a couple friends, we all got self-care time and it made our vacation just a bit more special. Unfortunately I don't remember the person that helped me but they were efficient and did a great job. Cheapy one-time foam thin flip flops were provided for my friend that didn't come prepared with the right foot wear. read more

Thanks for the great nail repair! I'm in town visiting and broke a Russian manicure on my pointer finger. Uni Nail was able to squeeze me in before the holiday after I sent them a message. The salon was quiet and clean, and they did a great job color matching and redoing my nail. Thanks! read more

Uni Nail Innovation - Great repair and color match on my pointer finger! - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

I had my nails done by Savannah at Uni Nail Innovation, and she was absolutely amazing. I've tried so many nail salons across the 626--including private nail techs--but I've never met someone as personable, professional, and detail-oriented as Savannah. The shop itself is simple, clean, and calming, and the private parking is such a perk, especially in Pasadena. We had great conversation during the appointment, and Savannah made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Most importantly, I'm obsessed with how my nails turned out. I went for a clean girl/princess-style set, and while the design is minimal, the attention to detail is unmatched. Savannah used Japanese gel polishes with a rubber base underneath, and the shape and finish are perfect. Subtle, chic, and elegant--just how I like it. If you're looking for a new nail tech in the area, this is your sign. I'll definitely be back! read more

By far the best salon in Pasadena. Walk-ins are accommodating which fits my busy schedule. The nail technician listen, and every need was attended. The staff was friendly, and fast. I WILL BE BACK. read more

First time coming in. I texted in advance to ask if I could walk-in in about five minutes and got an immediate response. Parking is easy. There's a lot right in front of the salon. Cassie is a bit of a perfectionist, and I really appreciated her attention to detail. It cost $60 for gel removal + manicure, and I thought the cost was reasonable. The color selection is great--lots of gorgeous muted shades of pink, rose, neutrals, etc. read more

My favorite Savannah. She is amazing. I love the Japanese gel and I can get different nails all the time. She is very detailed and I like that, highly recommend read more

Wanting to get my nails done, I decided to stop by Uni Nail Innovation (which is located in the same plaza as Go Go Sushi with free parking). I came by earlier this morning, just as a walk in (figured I didn't need to make an appointment for a Monday). Savannah greeted me and ended up working on my nails. I decided to try a manicure with Japanese gel ($45) and a French manicure ($25). Time it took was a little under an hour. I'm not going to lie, but $70 (prior to tip) is a bit pricey for a manicure but I decided to splurge since it's the holidays and I don't normally get my nails done on a regularly basis. Also I have read that Japanese gel typically last longer than regular gel and hope that will be the case for my first time experience. I loved the way my French manicure came out and love how the green color that I picked (my favorite color) turned out. Savannah told me that they have a one week guarantee that if anything happens to my nails (chipped for example) then I can come back and they can repair the problem. If more than a week passes and there are problems then they can give me a discount if I want them to fix it. After my nails were done, I was given a quick hand massage with lotion (and oil was placed near my cuticles). I was also given a stamp card for my first visit. Overall, service was friendly and well done by Savannah and would come back to her the next time I want to get my nails done. For those that are interested in pricing that I paid and also overheard when another customer came in during my visit (which is what I typically look for when scanning reviews): Japanese Gel: $45 French Manicure: $25 (add on) Chrome color (Japanese Gel): $25 (add on) Nail design: $5 (per nail) Pedicure: $30 (for polish) Pedicure: $55 (for gel) Callus removal: $6 Please note that there is a $2 transaction fee if you pay by credit card. read more

The service here is always good. They use quality organic products and have the best stylish machine equipment they use on your hand and feet. Nice modern upscale nail shop. They need more workers though they only have two workers. Prices are high but you are paying for the quality of the organic products they use. Plenty of parking. read more

Cassie is a pro, I've been coming to only her since my last review and I can honestly say she is extremely skilled, talented and pays extreme attention to detail. She is clean and thorough with her work and each time I come I can be certain that it will just as good as last time. She is also a nice person and her salon is always clean and never filled with a bunch of people as it is only her and her most trusted colleague everytime I come. For those wondering yes she sanitizes and she also uses the best trimmer and nail products. She also has the plastic covers for the pedicure bath, which for me and I'm sure many is a necessity. Her pricing is average but it is very worth it considering her work and the equipment/ products she uses are high end. I've never gotten my nails done by the other girl that works here but she's always busy so I'm sure she does a great job as well. Long story short I would 100% recommend Cassie's Nail salon read more

Cassie was amazing! She accommodated me last minute when I had no expectations there was any availability. She was sweet, detail-oriented, but fast! She perfected details I wouldn't have noticed but I very much appreciated. I was extremely overdue for a pedicure and she took amazing care of me! Highly recommend :) read more

Legitimately the prettiest nails I've ever had. Savannah was meticulous and paid attention to the littlest details. I brought a photo of what I wanted, and she made my nails look better than the original inspo photo I brought. Ample parking, friendly & courteous staff, great hours. Kind of want to keep this place a secret but also want the business to thrive. Will be back and happily recommending the location to others. read more

I brought in a photo of the nails I wanted and they are the exact same as the reference photo. How rare is that?? Casey did my nails and paid attention to every little detail and did an amazing job. She also picked out the color to match perfectly to the photo I gave her, but also gave me other options that I might've liked. This is definitely my new nail salon, their prices are competitive and they do an amazing job. The salon itself is very clean and new. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I've been looking for a place that can do gel ex designs to the T of a photo or replicate a design. Eureka!!! I think I finally found the spot. Let's be real, most places can't get it just right or right at all. Made an appointment with Cassie based on the reviews I read and her IG account. The place is not crowded with people, which I like a bit of tranquility. Cassie took lots of care with my nails and was meticulous with each step. And the final result was a love love situation! I believe I found my place and new tech! read more

Overpriced $130 plus tip, for the most ugly nails. Savannah did a good job last time, but this time she just didn't listen to what I asked for. She did the most depressing nail set. Now I have to go and pay elsewhere to get them fixed. She charged extra $45 for two small snowflakes stickers. That's not a design !!!! Please don't go there they will do a good job the first time then they will overcharge and do what they feel like. read more

Had an appt for a gel mani & regular pedi at 5:45pm. Checked in at 5:40pm. Was seated at the spa chair at 6pm. The tech didn't start my pedi until 6:19pm. She kindly says "thank you for waiting", not a problem. She did a great job! Cassie comes over @ 6:32pm & begins the process of removing my old gel. A party of 3 walks in with no appt & ask for pedis. 2 of them get seated right away. Cassie leaves my nails wrapped in foil to remove the gel & leaves to work on one of the walks pedi. Once done with the pedi, she calls me to her work station to do my gel mani. The 1st pic is the inspo pic I sent her, the other 2 pics are my results. I was asked to pick a red color, there was miscommunication. I trusted she picked out all of the other colors, and I got caught up watching Netflix that was playing in the background. Once done, I noticed something was off, she ended giving me a lot of red as seen in the pictures instead of all the colors in the inspo pic. I didn't leave the nail salon until 7:58pm. When I texted her to ask for the 1 color to be fixed she replied with a and said you picked purple and said it'd be a $10 charge to fix it. I followed Cassie from the old nail salon that is right next to my house to her new salon that is further away because of her attention to detail and timeliness. I understand she was busy today, it happens. In the business she cut my pinky nail skin as seen in the picture, I didn't complain. However, the poor attitude & customer service she had towards an honest mistake on her behalf will have me take my business else where. read more

I recently visited Uni Nails Innovation. There use to be another a nail salon here in 2019 when I used to work in Pasadena so this is how I heard about it. I reached out to the business through Yelp to schedule an appointment and they were quick to respond. I was able to book an appointment for the next day at 10 AM with no issues. When I arrived at the salon, I was warmly greeted by Savannah who did my nails. I got the Japanese manicure gel done and it took about an hour. Savannah was quick and friendly, and the overall atmosphere of the salon was clean, well-lit, and spacious. I highly recommend this salon and look forward to coming back. Thank you again to Savannah for providing me with the services I needed. read more

Upset is an understatement. I wanted to get my nails done because of an upcoming trip. I understand my nails were "short" but don't just keep buffing my nails or keep clipping especially if I told you it hurts. My nail artist Amy kept telling me to relax but if my natural instinct is not to, then pls be more gentle. I paid 112$ for these nails that were already discounted because I bled. I just wanted to show everyone that my nails are all uneven & I still have my cuticles poking out. Definitely not worth the money! I just wasted my time & money for nails I hate. On the other hand, my friend got a mani & pedi with design & she was done before me. Her nails turned out great so maybe ask for Cassie if you want to try this place out... read more

Uni Nail is the new spot! Started working around the Pasadena area and so happened to break 3 nails, I called for an appointment and was able to be seen the same day. Receptionist called minutes before to confirm the appointment and I was seen by Cassie. She is very professional and does amazing work. Very clean and I noticed how she paid close attention to every little detail during cleaning and application of gel layover polish. Once I seen that, I was able to relax and let her do her thing. She made sure I was happy with the color and shape. Overall this place is clean and well kept! Had a good first time experience and will definitely be coming back. read more

Sometimes when you go to nail places they just rush through to hurry and get done but I really felt like they took time to make it a nice relaxing experience. They worked on myself and my mom for about an hour non stop. Fun fact: they actually have the cheese thingy that get all the dead callus off your feet.
