    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

    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!

    Monthly visit never disappoints! I couldn't ask for a better place to provide quality nail art and service. It also helps to have the choice of your show on Netflix in the background to make the experience much more relaxing and enjoyable.

    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.

    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.

    My manicure. Great attention to detail.

    Great job! The staff was so nice. They had on good shows to watch and everything was so clean. I got a mani pedi and $55. They have parking right outside.

    Japanese gel ($45) + French manicure ($25)

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    Amazing work! Gel X

    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!

    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!

    Look at all the detail !
    Mag S.

    First time customer here ! Had an appointment with Cassie ! I'm in love with these nails, might be one of the best sets I have ever gotten. Loving all the details. Cassie was very easy to communicate with, listened to all my requests, and was very nice. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!

This review is difficult to write because I gave this salon multiple chances and truly wanted to support them as a Pasadena local, but what started as disappointment over birthday nails turned into concerns about sanitation, professionalism, pricing, and customer treatment. Please consider looking at the photos of my nails an hour after they were done. I initially overlooked things because there was one employee in particular who was very kind and I kept hoping my experience would improve. Unfortunately, after several visits, I began noticing issues that became impossible to ignore. I observed sanitation and maintenance concerns that made me uncomfortable, including openings in walls with exposed plumbing, tools appearing to be reused between clients without proper visible sanitization, and a communal nail brush in the bathroom that was later used during service. This raised hygiene concerns for me personally. My birthday appointment was the turning point. I specifically requested Serena. During removal, my nails chipped significantly and I felt the service was rushed. I requested nail strengthening treatment and a simple French tip, but the final result was thick and not what I had asked for. When I politely said I was unhappy with the outcome, the response immediately became uncomfortable. Cameras were repeatedly referenced even though I was simply discussing the result of my nails and not disputing what happened. I was told that whatever I chose next "better be right" because they did not want me returning unhappy later. The repeated references to surveillance felt unnecessary and unrelated to the issue I was trying to address. There were also concerns about pricing. The posted pricing showed removal and regular polish charges, however I was charged more than expected and left confused about the final total. The polish reportedly applied "free of charge" did not feel free when the overall bill had already increased. After payment there was little acknowledgment, no effort to resolve concerns, and the interaction felt abrupt. When my husband later tried to discuss the pricing and service concerns, the conversation escalated further. Cameras were referenced again, we were directed to contact the owner, a phone number provided was unreachable, and the situation became increasingly hostile rather than solution focused. At that point it stopped being about the money and became about customer treatment. I gave this place multiple chances because there were staff members I genuinely liked and wanted to support. Unfortunately, I left feeling dismissed, uncomfortable, and disappointed. I would encourage management to focus on professionalism, sanitation transparency, customer communication, and handling feedback without escalation. For those looking in Pasadena, I would personally recommend seeking a salon with clearer pricing, stronger customer service, and a cleaner environment.

More importantly, I've been working hard to grow out my nails and wanted to make sure I kept a good amount of length. But on her initial pass with the drill, Sylvia took so much length off of my thumbnail that it had to be filed below my fingertip. I asked for a round shape but because she took so much length off, I ended up with rounded squares. I'm really upset about the length. I will say my partner's nails look great, and if I decide to return (which is a big "if") I'll be sure to book with Olivia (and hopefully get who I booked with).
