Very clean establishment and walk ins are welcome. The polish color selection is not as robust as most places. They unfortunately did not have the shade I wanted but they did offer to improvise to get as close to the shade as possible. I wanted a midnight blue shade so they tried to use a black base and top it with a dark blue/green color. It's not the shade I hoped for but it came out ok. I did appreciate how well she glued on the Gel extension nails and filed them. read more

I've been here a few times, and always had decent service with a good job done on my nails. The vibe is chill. Big screen tv with fashion videos, calming music and the order of wine or soda. Lots of good colors and the luxury pedicure is super pampering. Recommend. read more

I went in for a pedicure and manicure at 10:30 we finished at 11:15 ... firstly one of the girls was very sick and was coughing in my face while doing the manicure but also I left with sandals at 11:35 and went home to get ready. I put on shoes at 12:30 way past when the pedicure should be set and the entire polish on the big toes came completely off . I called them for a refund and they said no and said goodbye and hung up .Now I'm on way to event and toes look horrible ... I don't even have polish remover on me plus I feel a tickle in my throat because of the girl coughing in my face while doing mani... I asked if she was sick and she said yes ....that's dangerous... wasn't even covering coughs with elbow nothing. Terrible all around. Never come here Uodate two hrs later - it gets even worse... at 12;30 they told me to send a picture to them and they will call me back and now they have blocked my phone number and the email on their website is just info@gmail.com.... This is the worst service ever read more

I have been going to Lucy for a long time she recently came here and I came her to get my gel x fill and pedi. She likes to keep in the the trend I had the chrome but the last few times she did the cat eye. She does a great job knowing I am diabetic and keeps me in check. If you want a good job ask for Lucy. She hears you and will do a great job. read more

This now has been my new go to for pedicures! My daughter recommended this place many times and I finally decided to give it a try. Tiffany is my girl!! She does an amazing job! She knows exactly how I like my toes done read more

Now that they have a NEW OWNER and Kelly is the main person in charge, this is favorite nail salon in Pasadena area! It is super clean with massage chairs (leather/non fabric so extra clean.) Kelly did a great job on my short nail shaping, and my polish was perfectly even with a really natural look (like I requested.) Mostly I love that they are really good at booking appointments so you never have to wait long like other places who say you have an appointment but then you still have to wait. I also love that they are open after work and on weekends. I do regular polish but if you want gel they have tons of cool/latest options and do design work. read more

Lucy does my Gel X. She's amazing. I got the cat eyes polish color. The sparkles change with movement of your hand. Super cute! Been coming here since they opened. read more

I want to give another review to Lucy! She did another amazing job. Blending colors for me and looking at the inspo pic and I make sure she got it perfect and she did! Notice the subtle French tips as well. Lucy is the best and pays so much attention to detail, I love her work read more

Great, clean, efficient nail salon! Rose at the front desk is a long time South Pas favorite and Maria is an excellent technician! Please visit as the space they leased has emptied of other tenants (RiteAid and Urban Pets) and they need fit traffic!! read more

Loved my mani pedi session. I'll definitely come again. The parking is an issue but not bad. Street parking is 1 hour free

First time here and it was amazing! They seated us as immediately and nail tech Lucy got started 5 minutes later. She is so sweet and super on trend - she suggested doing an incredible set of cat eye + ombré gel x nails with gems for my friend, and she also showed us pictures of beautiful nails she has done for other clients and her daughter. We also received free drinks and snacks while we were there, and the interior was so clean and beautiful too. Lucy and the owners also that if any gem falls off/breaks within one week, they will replace it for free. We love Lucy and Aria Nail Lounge!! read more

First, this place is clean and has an amazing selection of new OPI nail polish. Unlike other nail shops. Here's the reason why I rated this place low. Yesterday morning I left a detailed message requesting an appointment for four mani/pedi. It was a bonding day out with my mom who is 87 years old, my cousin who just arrived from another country and my daughter in law that lives in San Diego. To make sure we all have a bonding time together, in addition to calling for a reservation, I stopped by the nail salon and spoke to a manager who confirmed a mani pedi for four people at the same time. When we arrived at our appointment, the nail technicians were not aware of our appointment. The manager was not present when we got there. There was a technician who started speaking in her language who sounded irritated and said they can finish with their client in 15 mins. Well, I had to ask her to speak in English so I can understand what she was irate about. So we waited..... 40 mins later, they have not attended to us. The manager finally came and had a lot of excuses and then finally apologized. In summary, if you have all day and have the flexibility, I guess just walk in. They will get to you when they can. No need to make an appointment. read more

Lucy was amazing! She was very sweet and her designs were beautiful. I can't wait to come back next time read more

Truly terrible experience which resulted in my nails being completely reunited. Filed them down to nothing and women there were rude and unapologetic. Going tot take me weeks to fix my nails after the disaster they left me with then overcharged me for. Will never be returning; highly recommend you don't ether read more

Completely over priced and dishonest! My first experienced was good the first time. I got a full set French. I went back the second time and noticed they really tried to push the alcohol. She charged $52 for a fill and i had the exact color french done as previously. The third time I went was for a simple fill again and told Lucy same color french. I asked her if there where different types of pink because I noticed the color she was putting did not match the color i had previously had. The pink I had, had more of a purple tone. She was short and just said yes. I looked at my nails and told her that the color did not look like what I had. She said she didn't have the color I wanted. I think it would have been reasonable for her to have told me this at the beginning. She goes on to tell me that I do have purple. As if I am so stupid not to notice the difference. Not to mention she just said she didn't have the purple tone. I thought maybe she could borrow the purple tone from another nail tequ. but it seems they work independently like a hair salon. When I went to pay she wanted to charge me $75!! I asked cashier why I was being charged more than the last time, having had the same thing done. She goes back and forth with Lucy speaking in language I can't understand. Then Lucy goes on to explain that she did all these other extras that she did not do!! I told her to do the same thing I had. The cashier asked the previous nail tech I had and again I could understand what they were saying. The cashier said to pay the $75. Meanwhile, I'm pulling out my previous receipt that shows $52. They go on talking in their language and then say fine pay the $52. I really think Lucy was trying to pull a fast one and up the price. Very dissapointed. Never again will go back. I rather pay more for honesty! read more

Asked for tasteful, left with tacky. My boyfriend and I came to Aria 3 for manicure and acrylic full set, respectively. I'm from SP but moved a while ago so I usually visit Jenny at the Sierra Madre location and they are phenomenal there but boy oh boy...not sure I can say the same for Aria 3. Let me be clear, these people are VERY nice and hospitable, my boyfriend really enjoyed his manicure. I had no issue with how I was treated and they offered a menu of complimentary refreshments, this is why I gave 2 instead of one star. Elsa did my nails and it was going well until they all started talking, EVERY time someone said something she'd completely stop what she was doing to talk, I obviously don't expect people to not have fun at work, but this was far too many times. A service that I can usually get done elsewhere in an hour took two. Not only was the service incredibly slow , it was sloppy. My nails are shorter and more wide than what I asked for, and my attempts at communicating this weren't listened to because, again, she was talking. The acrylic application was uneven, some areas completely missed. Acrylic getting under nail, and when I asked her to file under my nail to clean it up, it still was sloppy. Uneven and patchy gel, and she even got some on my hand twice, and she rubbed in to my skin to take it off, not wipe away with alcohol. I left with cured gel on my palm, which was a bitch to get off cause I didn't want to ruin my jacked nails with acetone. The French is uneven and some parts are thicker than others. read more

Hooray for the magical Genie of Serenity who gave me 2 amazing pedicures in the last 2 months (or maybe she spells her name Jeanie)! I'm kind of a "special needs" person right now due to an injury which prevents me from lifting my right leg high enough to do my own foot care. The first time, I hobbled in leaning on a crutch, and she took great care to make me feel welcome and safe. She completely focuses on each task (cuticle cutting, nail trimming, massaging) with meticulous grace - careful not to hurt or startle. Her nail polish lasted so well that I could have skipped the next appointment if not for the fact that my toenails had grown and my calluses were out of control and painful. This time around, instead of "basic," I splurged for the Deluxe Pedicure which included hot stone leg massage, callus smoothing, AND a heated vibrating soft chair molded to my body - Genie gave me a lumbar pillow without me having to request it (I suffer from multiple spinal issues). I've avoided salons for years, mainly because I didn't want to look entitled while someone who clearly hates their job waits on me. BUT this is NOT at all the case with this lovely person! She conversed a little, very gently - not prying or invasive, but generally and kindly. Never condescending (this time I had a cane and she simply made sure that it was stored safely and retrieved it for me at the end). As for the salon venue itself, it absolutely deserves 5 or more stars! What a great find wedged between a Rite Aid and Urban Pets in a plaza in South Pas! The ambiance is artistic and serenely Asian style with beautiful fish tanks, decorative bamboo stalks that are not fake. Quiet. Some unobtrusive music and a wild wide video screen that can play those "Idol" and "Got Talent" shows. The kicker was after I walked out of the salon and had gone one block, I happened upon a frustrated young woman turning away from the Closed sign of a nail salon. She spoke to her elderly mother about what to do because that's where she gets her nails done. I whipped off my sandals and showed them my new beautiful red toenails and gave them directions to Serenity! I hope they made it! read more

My twin sister took me here for a spa day and we enjoyed it from beginning to end. The worker even said happy birthday to us. We got exactly what we asked for and was not pressured into paying for extra services. The nail salon was very clean and had very nice music to make it even extra nice. I would definitely recommend this place to other people. read more

I drive all the way from North Hollywood to come here every 2 weeks religiously. Elsa, Mary and the whole staff are so talented. The salon is beyond clean. Elsa can do any design you bring to her. Mary's massages are to die for. I pay for extra time for her massages because I don't want them to end. They truly take care of me every time and I not only appreciate them but value them. I have been to many nail salons but nobody elsa compares! Thank you ladies!!! And Tony of course! :-) read more

I live two blocks from this location. I stopped in today to check it out and was so happy to see a full service, spacious and elevated nail salon in a town that has two to four nail salons on block! Reception is well organized and as a walk in I was attended to right away. I went for just a basic mani and enjoyed my mani so much I also got a brow and lip wax. They take cash, Zelle and Venmo which is very convenient. Tips in cash which I always do anyway. This will now be my home salon for nails and waxing. Kat is great and very skilled. I had a wonderful time getting to know this new salon Highly recommend read more

The location is under new ownership, newly remodeled and looks amazing. I had the best pedicure I've ever had. I will definitely go back.

I got these nails as a walk in service. When I came in, I was curious to try them out. They were local to where I live so I thought I can give them a shot. They started me off with a pedicure. The service for that was fine, but it's my fingers that aren't doing so hot. I am currently on week one of having my nails done and the left thumb nail fell off. At this point I'm not sure if their stuff hasn't expired or anything. Usually I put my nails to the ringer and not one nail would fall off. Also they told me what the price would be for a manicure and pedicure but it ended up being 118 (they took off 10 for the fudging of my other thumb) but I was never told that price. I wish they could have or at least told me for the stuff that I wanted would cost extra. I wouldn't have picked if that was the case. Overall disappointing except for the feet. I'll just look elsewhere for another nail salon. read more

I came in on Sunday with my daughter and asked for a full set with Joe nail polish. My daughter got gel extensions, although the customer service was OK when I asked for my nails to be cut shorter the woman called me picky when I explained I had to do it for Work. She said I was still picky, my nails came out chunky uneven, and my daughters came out pointed upward. For some reason. There was way too much glue. although the gentleman who helped us was very polite and the salon itself is clean and really beautiful. The customer service could have been a little nicer and for the amount I paid on my nails, I am sdisappointed read more
