I came to The Maya Salon for a last-minute trim. After calling several salons trying to get a last…read moreminute appointment, this was the only place that had an opening. Finding the salon was easy and there was parking right out front, which made it even better. I stay in South Pasadena on weekends at my boyfriend's house, so I decided to give it a try. EJ was incredibly kind and welcoming. I arrived a few minutes early while he was finishing with another client, and he saw me right at my appointment time. He also offered drinks and snacks, which I really appreciated because I definitely needed the caffeine boost that day. He washed my hair and gave me the trim I desperately needed, removing all my split ends while still keeping my hair long just like I asked. I'm always nervous about losing too much length, but he really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. His station was also very cute and calming, with plants around the mirror and a dream catcher. I deal with anxiety, so I really appreciated his relaxing energy during the appointment. I usually get my trims done in Beverly Hills with my longtime stylist, and I was pleasantly surprised that the price here was about the same -- $120, which is pretty standard for a good trim in Beverly Hills as well. Since I happened to be in the area, I thought "why not?" and I'm really glad I did because it turned out to be such a pleasant experience.

We were in town for the week and needed to find a nail salon close by. We decided we wanted to try…read moreout gel since it could last a bit before our trip ended. So glad to Yelp and find a highly rated nail salon within walking distance across the street from TJ. We made an online reso the night before. We walked in at 11 am and quickly greeted by Jenny (I think). We already had an idea of the type of gel and design we wanted. Jenny and Lily were thorough with the pre polish. Taking their time to file and remove cuticles and hand nails. I don't think any salon has ever taken this much time before. They also buffed out our nail bed for smooth application. DD has a cat eye gel which she was so fascinated with. Jenny matched the color of the picture spot on. Also, I wanted a leopard print design. Lily did the red on alternating fingers and Jenny did the actual design. Wow. So impressed that she did this bloom gel technique that matches the picture I showed her too. Even the base of the tan was spot on. So impressed with the whole experience and couldn't be happier. It's been 5 days and both our manicures look pretty fresh still. I am now a believer of gel manicure and will only be doing them vs regular manicures from now on thanks to this salon. If I lived down here, this would definitely be my go to nail salon.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Nelly is an absolute gem. She's consistent, precise,…read moreand so sweet that every appointment feels like catching up with a friend. She's fun, bubbly, and truly cares about her work, which shows in how perfect my nails look every single time. I felt like to took forever to find an amazing tech, but I found Jenny's Nails & Spa and now drive 45 minutes from home to see Nelly. Even though I travel constantly for work, I will happily wait it out rather than go anywhere else. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and somehow my nails still look amazing even when I've gone a couple weeks too long before a fill. Nelly is the kind of nail tech you keep for life - talented, reliable, and a joy to be around. If you want nails that make you smile every time you look at them (and a nail appointment that feels like self-care for your soul), go see her. And I've gotta shout out Jenny, the owner! she seriously always makes my day! She's so warm and full of good energy, it's always such a good vibe when she's around.

The first time I came here a month ago with my friend for gel pedicures, we had the best…read moreexperience. All of the ladies were super nice, attentive and gave great pedicures. The ladies were so nice that my friend ended up getting a gel manicure, deviating from her die hard nail tech who works in Chino Hills. The lady who did my friend's manicure was so kind that she asked for her when we came back today. It was not the same lady who did her manicure last time and this time, we had the complete opposite experience. Also, the lady who did my friend's manicure last time was significantly younger and kinder. My pedicure came out just fine and the lady was kind enough. But Elsa who did my friend's manicure was an absolute nightmare. My friend uses her natural nails and wanted them almond shaped with a slightly more narrow point. Not stiletto, just slightly more tapered. The woman who did her nails last time nailed it. Elsa not so much. She ranted and raved about her nails and said she could not make them "pointy". My friend didn't ask for pointy or stiletto, just tapered. The issue was Elsa's tone and demeanor. She was blatantly rude about having to shape her nails. She was loud and condescending to the point where the kind woman working on her pedicure had to tell her to stop in English, and just give her what she asked for her. After that Elsa was just a bitch. Point, blank, period. She began talking loudly in Vietnamese to her coworkers, holding up my friend's hands and laughing. When it came time for my friend to pick the color, Elsa became louder and more rude. She kept speaking in Vietnamese and only saying "bubble bath" in English because my friend wanted a light pink color. My friend even inquired about the nail color Elsa was wearing because it looked pretty and said it's MY NAIL COLOR! My friend was confused because it didn't make sense. Eventually I intercepted to ask and we were able to figure out that it was a color she had at home which didn't make sense because why tf wouldn't you have a color in the salon? To sum it up, ELSA ruined the experience of Camay nails and now I will tell everyone (including whomever is reading this) I know to NOT go there which is a shame because every other nail lady was lovely. Shoutout the kind lady who did my friend's pedicure and told Elsa to shut the hell up.

I've tried them twice now and it's been a disappointment. It's not just the end result is disappointing, it's the rude customer service. Came here today to get a manicure and pedicure. Pedicure was good and the person took time to do a good job and kept checking on me. The manicurist took less than 10 minutes to do a shoddy job. When I asked her to do another coat as it was looking flimsy, she was extremely rude and refused to even consider. When you are in a service business, customer service should be as important as your end product. They need to train their manicurist to listen to the customer and not be rude. I will not be coming here again!
