This business was just bought by a new owner I had a gift certificate that the new owner refused to honor saying he didn't get the money from previous owner.. are you kidding me. I will never come to this location again. They have lost a client that has been with them for over 7 years. read more

If you take over a business.. you inherit the clientele and all that comes with it. My mother would frequent buy me and my sisters gift vouchers from this place. She bought me a $50 gift voucher 06/22/22 that stated on there it does not expire until 12/2022... when I tried to use it today the new owners said they couldn't accept it because they never received the money for it from previous owner. But they did accept a gift voucher that I had from the previous owner of $13.. it does not make any sense. They can forget about me and my family EVER coming here again read more

Love this spot! Kevin is the man. He is so meticulous and detail oriented when he does my toes. My toes have literally never looked better. Kim is fantastic too. I totally recommend getting a wax here. Love the service! read more

Came to this salon for the first time today and loved it. I've been a long time client of Jenny's. There is plenty of parking easy to get in and out of. Loved the pedicure chairs best I've ever experienced. Everyone is sweet and does a great job. Highly recommend! read more

Ok, I love AQ! It's next to my house and I've been coming here for about two years. I feel like every time I've come, whoever helps me does a good through job. They have all good and up-to-date colors! I've also got acrylics here too and they are good at doing what you want and staying on trend. Usually there's not longer than a 15 min wait! Love u AQ! Switched review. They are a little rude and speak Chinese or mandarin and yell at each other and i really believe speak about the customers. Really unhappy with my last experience read more

Great salon! I always get my nails done here. They're super nice and provide a relaxing environment.

Let me give you the worst part first: THE OLD WOMAN STARTED SCRAPING OFF MY OLD NAIL POLISH WITH HER FINGERNAILS. Her nasty, bare, obviously fungus-thickened, green and yellow fingernails. When I asked why she wasn't using a tool, she told me it was because she wanted my nails to look good. I said I'd prefer she use the tools, and after giving me the stink eye, she begrudgingly got the sterile tools out of the back, and started using them in a way that let me know she has no idea what they're for. Then she got up after "removing" the polish from my second finger, greeted another customer who had just walked in, showed her to another table and started taking off HER polish. Not a word to me. Just left me there. I looked around. Everyone else was with other customers. By this time 30 minutes had gone by ( old lady had been making calls, receiving calls, and walking around the shop talking to the callers while she was supposed to be working on me) so I finally got up and told her if she was too busy for me I could certainly go somewhere else. And I did. I took my scraped nails a half a block away to Queen Nails and they fixed the damage and had me out of there in 30 minutes. Obviously, I'm never going back to AQ and you can just bet that the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology is going to be paying them a visit regarding their extremely hygienic and sterile practices. read more

AQ Nails Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

I called this afternoon and asked if they had any available appointments for today (since we have stricter COVID restrictions) the lady on the phone said to come now! I showed up and Ling set me up in my chair upon arrival. She does the most amazing pedicure I was almost falling asleep in the chair. Now don't get me started with Linda, she did my fill and shaped them so wonderfully! They were so attentive, and talkative, almost like I've been their friend for years. I'm definitely a long time customer now!! read more

Terrible ! A day after my acrylic nAils turned black with streaks from the gel nail polish ! Plus it's weird they put gel on 1-2 nails and have you put 1-2 nails in their gel machine at a time -this has happened to me2x - first time I gave this place benefit of the doubt - 2nd time shame on me! Cheap products and bad customer service ! read more

Was told to be here at 11 been here waiting for 15 mins with a manicurist sitting and playing on her phone then she decides to tell me to sit down after i said i would leave because the wait is long. Ridiculous!!!! So i decided to go back and try them again since I liked the SNS manicure Amy did I called a day before spoke to Amy herself asked for an appointment for 11 she said yes I came in at 11 she wasn't there so I waited 20 mins then someone else started taking off the previous set then Amy finally came at 12:10 and I told her I had an appointment at 1 and she said she would be done in time which she wasn't. So overall if you want to be late or treated like you're not important go there. read more

I'm pretty torn on how to rate this place. They do a GREAT job and they're cheap but they're customer service sucks. Making an appointment is useless and if they're busy the ladies will just keep getting Up to help other people. Last time I was in there, the lady stopped once to paint someone's nails and twice to go wax other people (she was super hygienic--always washed her hands and changed gloves, but still...). All of these people were walkins and I made an appt. I will definitely keep going back but only on my days off when I can go in the middle of a weekday so I know they won't be busy. Hopefully. read more

Amy is awesome, everyone here is awesome! Best manicure and pedicure in town, prices R super reasonable & they have they strongest spa chairs. Bikini wax was near painless. read more

Got a regular manicure pedicure here. You could tell they do a great job because everyone else in the salon was a regular customer! The prices are very good. I would recommend calling ahead so you do not have to wait long, as this salon is popular. read more

I was directed to go here because Queen nails was too busy. AQ is literally down the street and it's the same owner. The lady who did my pedicure was way too rough and was digging into my nails. Kind of a painful experience, and they charged more than Queen nails. read more

Absolutely love the job that was done. Got exactly what I wanted. They took there time, didn't rush and they came out perfect! read more

See all

Every time I go here I leave with a wonderful set. Amy is the best!! The quality is amazing, AND they're reasonably priced!

Excellent pedicures for me and my daughter. They have a kids' pedicure chair so little feet can reach the water for a soak. Brought in a picture of the nail art we wanted (Pokéballs!) and they were happy to accommodate. So pleased with the results! Everyone was so nice and the salon was so clean. Definitely coming back soon! read more

I spent two hours here and my nails were all crooked, not the shape I asked for, the polish was already ruined my the time I left the salon and while I was waiting to get my acrylics off, three of the employees were sitting there on their phones doing nothing. I also came in with gel extensions on (got them done at Jasmines Nails on Colorado, highly recommend) and the employees had no idea how to take them off so completely ruined my actual nails. I was with my younger sister as well and you could tell that the employees were laughing at her while doing her nails. read more

This is the same owners of Queen Nail one block east. They shuffle the manicurist from one shop to the other. This is the 3rd and last time I have made an appointment with the only person there that does good work. Showed up for my appointment time, I even called on my way to confirm she was there since I have been screwed over on previous appointments. Got there, she's not there. They then said she was walking across the street and would be there in one minute. They try to get you to put your feet in the water so you're sitting there like an idiot for 30 minutes with wrinkled feet waiting for your appointment to show up. Didn't fall for it this time, after 10 minutes I walked outside to see her walking across the street - nothing but leaves blowing for miles. I went back in and asked where she was, and again..."she's walking across the street, put your feet in the water!". Over it, goodbye Queen Nail and AQ Nail Salon. You are totally disrespectful of your customer's time. read more

Find it hard to give them even 1 star. I have been going there for about 7 months. Everything is usually ok, sometimes they hurry and the paint job isn't as good. The last 2 times I've gone the pedicures have hurt. I just went last Saturday and I started having toe pain on Monday, well now I have an infection on my big toe. My opinion is stay away from this place. read more

Worse nail shop ever!!!! Had the worse pedicure of my life and I've been getting pedis and pedis since I was 15 yrs that's a while and never had a pedicure this bad the lady that did it had absolutely no clue what she was doing didnt even clean my cuticles it was the worst pedi only reason I didnt call the owner over and tell her send me someone else is b/c I didnt want to look like an ass! But I was close regret paying $19... she got $1 tip it was horrible!! read more

I've tried this salon on three occasions. The first couple of appointments were pretty great, but after my last experience I won't be returning. I had a gel mani and spa pedi and my gel literally peeled off after 2 days! During the manicure, the technician applied a different technique than what I'm used to -- she had me put in one finger at a time in the UV light and for 30 seconds at a time. I kind of questioned it because I worried about the consistency of my polish. In the past 5 years I've been getting gel manicures, I've never experienced this kind of "technique." It almost felt like it was done purposely so my polish wouldn't last! I'm upset because this salon was walking distance from where I lived. Unfortunately, now I have to find another salon. read more

I had a fill in and pedi and am happy with the results. But the customer service is poor. After the pedi I waited while someone else was served before I got attention for the fill in. Then two different girls worked on the first step of the process. After about three hours I was out of there and won't go back. read more

First time here and I loved my SNS nails, they have a few colors on dipping powder but I always ended up with red so this is good enough for me. They're very careful with cuticles and I love that. I'll definitely come back Amy is amazing! read more

The ladies that work in the shop are very kind. I tried them for their SNS nails and after two days the nail was chipping and took them off.

Horrible. I get ingrown nails, the way they did my pedicure gave me problems and pain for 2 months! Toes were infected for 2 weeks. Pic is worth a thousand words. The whole side of my toe is red and infected. On both feet! read more

Clean, good color choices, good service. They spend the time to clean up nails well & do a great job. I love that with the regular pedi/mani they use a foot scrub. The massage chairs are awesome! Aaaaaah...total relaxation. read more

My SNS gelous manicure is perfect. They're the best in Pasadena at organic powder gel manicures. They were so meticulous... Work like this keeps me coming back!! read more

The worse experience ever... painful and crappy job done to my nails. The old lady doesn't use gloves, tried to remove my old gel polish by bare hands with long finger nails. She was so rough to remove old nail polishes. I have to repeat my self thousand times that I hade ingrown nail that needs to be careful but she seemed not care, talking so loudly in their languages. I would never never come back. read more

Way to over priced! They bring workers from Queen nails! Same company and I'm sorry $19 for a pedi too much!

Amazing place I started coming here about a year ago and never went anywhere else!! Friendly staff most favorite Amy and Chow !!! Great place! read more

Terrible customer service. Went in to ask about pricing and availability and no one paid any attention to me until I said something and then still didn't answer right away and had a rude tone and attitude. I said no thanks and left! read more
