I was just randomly googling different nails places near me, and this had to be about the second or third time searching google and really getting the feel of the place just from its photography and appearance. Mind you I was browsing first to find air brush, but then I came across some nail inspiration and boom. I found the "one" look I wanted. So just from the nail inspiration I wanted to find a nail place that gave me what I was feeling from the photograph, a meditation zone, a mini vacation, some earthy vibes, a peace of mind. So out of all the places I came across I chose this one, mainly because my baby nephew name is Mason, but then I looked into the website and it felt amazing just from its art , the style of nails. The appearance everything. And randomly walking in and getting paired with "yuki" she was amazing. A friendly host, we chatted a bit, but honestly her vibe was so peaceful you didn't even want to ruin the moment, her silence was peaceful enough. I sat in the middle row so I had views of outside just taking in the city and the scenery, amazing vibes. I would highly recommend trying this place out. Book with "yuki" if you can , to be quite frank everyone in there salon looks they do amazing work. Like any nail technician you get paired with with get the job done. Give it a 5 star .

The care and attention they give every customer is unmatched. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and detail-oriented, and the salon looks wonderful after a remodel.

They take their time, listen to what you want, and the results are always beautiful and natural. It's rare to find a neighborhood salon you can trust year after year, and Pure Nails Spa has absolutely earned my loyalty. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and exceptional service.

These ladies stay booked and busy for very good reason. Make an appointment, treat yourself to all the extras, and prepare to briefly forget every problem you've ever had. The massage chairs alone could convince me to make some questionable financial decisions. And the nails? Always flawless. No streaks, no chips, no surprises--just consistently beautiful work every single time. I've been coming here for years and somehow still leave wondering why I don't book my next appointment before I even walk out the door. A neighborhood gem. If you can get in, you're lucky.

I got a pedicure here about a month ago and it was bad (sloppy cuticle work, no top coat) but came back for a gel-x set yesterday to give them the benefit of the doubt. The tech was very nice, but the set is just not good: 1. I asked her to make sure she maintained my side walls and said I was ok with them needing to be longer if the length I specified would mean she had to file my side walls. This didn't happen. Side walls were filed off. 2. Nails look "ski sloped". 3. Set already looks grown out. It's been less than 24 hrs. 4. Salon was visibly dirty and tools were obviously being reused. Gloss is now a skip. Sadly, this was the end of the road for me with Gloss.

In a world of "okay to average" nail salons on every block, Venti is a welcome breath of fresh air. I've been going there for almost a year now, and I routinely keep gel manicures on for well over a month without a single chip. Gina, the owner, is an absolute doll and a true veteran expert. The prices are very reasonable, and the quality of her products, services, and mani/pedis is top notch. And don't even get me started on the massage chairs ... In short: the absolute best nail studio in Pasadena (and I've tried them all!) *Located in the alley across from El Portal *Validated parking! read more

Gina Venti is the best manicurist I know. I have been with her for almost 20 years and I am so glad she now owns her own salon. It is quiet, peaceful and nicely appointed. Personally I don't like noisy, chaotic salons. They cause me stress. She is up to date on sterilization techniques and her salon always looks clean. Her personality is a bonus. I noted there was a disgruntled patron who only gave her 1 star...everyone else gave her 5. That tells you a lot. Even the posts that don't show rate her with 5 stars. I can only hope she never retires. read more

Gina Venti has been doing my nails for over 15 years and does a fantastic job. Recently I had Gina's new associate Kim give my husband a manicure and a pedicure. My husband's nails were a mess and she managed to make them look amazing. I have been bringing him on a regular basis ever since and her work has not faltered. I would recommend either of these great ladies to anyone who wants to be pampered and walk away looking fabulous! read more

The second and most recent time I went, I don't know if it's because I got someone who was new or what, but I was fairly disappointed in the result. At first it looked great, but when I came home I realized my cuticles were still a mess and not trimmed properly, and a good amount of my nail was still exposed near the cuticle area. Not only that, less than a week after, the nail areas are now more apparent (see picture) and the gel nails are starting to peel already.... This is a good place for when you are in a pinch or if you're looking for something affordable and simple.

I got my nails done last Wednesday ( less than a week ago)…read more The staff was nice and the shop was clean and welcoming. But there was no price listed anywhere, online or in the shop. So, I was a little sticker-shocked when it came time to pay. They also charged $2 for credit card (which I get) but they didn't have that written anywhere either. And Venmo was only for existing customers. It had been a few years maybe but it wasn't my first time there. I thought well, at least the color is nice and it looks good so I'm ok with it. Then, it started to chip as soon as I got home. The middle finger just peeled right off as I was washing my hair this morning. I don't do any manual heavy activities, just daily activities like cooking, laundry, etc. 100% of my nails are at least 1% chipped. For that price, I would expect it to last at least a week with minimal chipping. I understand that price goes up with supply costs but quality of service should still remain high. My pedicure still looks good. (Hence the extra star).
