Danielle T.

I love this place! I've gone here twice now and had my nails done by Tanya and have not been disappointed. Tanya does an amazing job with acrylics. The look pictured above is rose gold chrome. I never have to wait even without an appointment. They are always professional, clean and so friendly. I just moved here and am happy have already found such a great nail place. Will be going back revul

Nail just popped off. Not even a week and looks like i need a fill wtf

Idk how to feel about this place. I know they just opened and stuff but I got a pedi and I was charged to remove the gel even though I was getting gel again. I never paid extra for that? My full set looks decent but for what I paid it could have been better . I paid over 100. I don't think I will return but if you're desperate and need your nails done I guess give it a try . They make you sign a waiver and they check your temp. Tania kept coughing under her mask I hope it's not corona js!

OPI- Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. Notice the uneven edges.

Stopped by because I noticed the $35 mani pedi with salt scrub and massage sign hanging in the window. I really don't get my nails done that often but I had a fading gel pedicure that needed to be removed so decided to check this place out. I didn't have an appointment, it was fairly busy when I got there but they were able to accommodate me. It's a pretty big nail salon. I had fairly low expectations given that I just walked by and the price was good. Danny did my nails. The salt scrub and foot/hand massages actually felt pretty good. The massage chair was cool as well. Nail polish was applied evenly and my cuticles were trimmed without any pain. He buffed away some of the skin on my heel but I do feel like there is still some dead skin left. It's definitely not a luxe kind of place but they are nice enough and I don't need a whole lot to feel pampered. Minus a couple of stars because I noticed that my fingernails were not filed smoothly, they are a bit uneven after the trim. On the plus side, I think I found a new favorite pink neutral shade - OPI mimosas for Mr. and Mrs! I was charged $40 instead of $35 but I'm assuming maybe it was because of the extra time/effort spent removing my gel toenail polish. Overall, met my expectations given the price. I'm fairly satisfied with my nails but I wish my fingernails were filed more smoothly.

Came in and was instantly serviced for a gel mani and pedi. Jessie did my pedicure and helped my feet tremendously. She helped with two ingrown nails that other nail techs have failed to address and Jessie took care of it. My feet are much better now and she did great. Tammy was so kind and I love my nails, a simple gel manicure but they did amazing. Love this spot!

I was sat immediately and got great service! They had an amazing assortment of gel colors and I liked how they were in preview booklets as opposed to those rings that salons typically have. I got a mani pedi at the same time and they did a great job!

My Favorite nails spot. Tanya, is awesome! I got a full set she did the super and I love them. She's very professional.

Gel nails chipped one day after getting them done.

I rarely write bad reviews. I love giving compliments where they are due, and helping businesses get more business if they do a good job. With that said, I am giving two stars for this place, as an average between my experience and my friend's good experience. My friend who brought us here is a long time repeat customer so perhaps that is why she had a better experience (which should never be the case). My nails were nice, but I got gel and they chipped immediately after I left the store. She did give me three layers but perhaps they were still too thin, as this never happens to me. I went back to get it fixed and the lady told me she could tell I bumped it. She basically blamed me for GEL nails getting chipped. Lady, they are supposed to hold up if they are bumped, and secondly I didn't do anything crazy after I left the store to cause it to chip. Blaming your customer and giving her attitude...never the best way to go. The whole point of gel nails is so they last through regular wear and tear (especially the same day!) She HAD repainted one of my toenails the day before that I had smudged as it was drying, and I take full responsibility and appreciate her fixing it at that time. After getting my nail repainted, a few hours later my thumb chipped. I didn't go back this time to get it fixed. Once again, not blaming her as it is probably the nail polish itself, but perhaps this brand just needs extra coats (orly). Secondly, we had paid for our friend to get her nails done, including tip, as a surprise treat. I am not sure if she told my friend that tip had already been paid, but she had no problem accepting more tip from my friend. Thirdly, I hate when people paint the cuticles and then use a brush to clean it up. My pedicurist did this. It never looks as nice as being careful the first time and not painting the cuticles. If you hate this technique, make sure to let them know you want them to be careful the first time around. The whole experience just left a bad taste in our mouths. I'm including pictures so you can see the nails. They look nice but we really could have done without the attitude.

This is my go to nail salon! Tanya and the other ladies do an amazing job for my nails. I've been coming here for months and I am always content every single time. I would recommend this nail salon! Prices are reasonable too. I got acrylic ombré - $48 & gel pedi -$40

I got my nails done in preparation for a banquet and graduation and needed a place in Pasadena nearby. I found this place on yelp and noticed a lot of people praised Tanya, so I put in a request for her when I made my appointment, and she assured me I would have Tanya work on my nails. When I came in early (1:45ish) for my 2pm appointment, the place was completely empty except Tanya and two other technicians, so they took me right away. It worried me though that it was so empty. However the two other technicians began working on my manicure and pedicure right away once I chose my colors. The technician that did my gel manicure, Lynn, was very friendly, but after a few minutes she and the other technician just spoke Vietnamese with each other. I had thought that Tanya would be doing my nails, but she ended up helping another customer that walked in for a manicure. Overall, they both did a great job on my nails and I would go again if in the area. I do wish they had a tv or something on because I had nothing to do while the technicians talked to each other. I have no issue with them speaking with each other in Vietnamese but I just wish I had something to keep me occupied.

Nice job Clean they take time to do good , all lady's very sweet and teamwork, I love this place so much ,will be back

Love this ombre glitter.
Ithey Z.

Definitely the best place for nails. My mom got gel nails and they lasted almost a month and a half. I got acrylic nails ombre with glitter and they have lasted 4 weeks. They have a very nice and attentive staff. I recommend this place 100%. :) You won't regret coming in here.

For a first time waxer, this was the perfect place to go. Receptionists and waxer are so kind and…read morehelpful! The woman who did my wax (I think her name was Kiara but started with a K for sure) was supportive and helpful. She was very careful and mindful the entire time, and gave me very good tips for after care and some peace of mind during the wax lol. Entire salon is very clean and pretty. Would definitely recommend coming here! Also they have great waxing packages so that's cool.

Been coming here for a while now, probably a few years and haven't had any problem with any staff…read moreuntil this time this last service really disappointed me and made me feel very uncomfortable. The girl who was supposed to do my waxing was already in a rush, rushing me when I got in there and was presenting with attitude. She had a bracelet on that kept rubbing my eyelid when she was working on my eyebrows, and I had verbalized to her in a nice manner originally, but she was having attitude already at me and basically being pretty rough when it comes to removing the wax. And then she missed a few spot and when I pointed out that she missed a spot, she was giving me attitude while telling me to lie down and then when I got back up after she was done and told me that she was done, she looked at me and was like what are you doing? I still need to put cream on you. And suddenly I feel gaslit because she was the one who told me to get up and then she followed that by asking if we have any problems because I am making her feel very uncomfortable here while giving me attitude. When really I haven't really verbalized anything and I have barely verbalized my concern about the eyelid and that's basically because her bracelet keeps touching my eyelid because it dingles down. The front desk lady have said that she tends to have attitude for whoever is last on her list and I find a very unfair that they book her as my cosmetologist if they know that that's the issue. If they're going to hire employees are representing their company I sure hope that they evaluate their personality and their customer service aspect because that is the most important when it comes to these kind of role and if they're not happy and don't wanna work here, they really shouldn't take additional clients or they shouldn't have the job here. As someone who works in a place of customer service, I always make sure that I don't bring my personal opinions or emotions in. This whole experience made me feel kind of uncomfortable and also feeling like I don't really want to come back and make an appointment with that person ever again. By the end of the session after she gave me the mirror I told her she had missed a few spot. I mean, there were clearly hair in those area, and she clearly was very upset by me pointing at things that I'm just merely pointing out at as anyone would and she is just showing her bad mood and the environment that didn't need that. And after this time, she was done, she not only did not let me check in the mirror. She also told me that I am good to go. I am very uncomfortable I am very disappointed with my experience and I don't wish that on anyone. When I finally got to my car, I noticed not only a few spots but many spot that she missed and I can't really even walk in because I'm kind of scared and worried to really deal with her and I honestly don't want her to ever service me ever again . And I hope that nobody becomes her victim because that is just some rough waxing services watching someone having a resting bitch face and attitude the whole time when really I just want to come here to be vulnerable and did nothing wrong.

She makes you feel comfortable immediately, and is very careful and meticulous with her work. The studio is very clean and peaceful, and she is the only lash tech I've ever had who will wash her hands each time between moving from different clients. Such a small detail but so important and I noticed this the first time I came to see her. Her work is always on point and each time, I leave her studio with the best lifted lashes. I have even gotten a permanent bracelet done by her (called Love and Lock in the same space) and I've had it for years and it still looks perfect. 5 stars all around for Jen and Wax Boutique LA!

After I moved away and tried other places, the difference was clear, long, painful sessions! When I moved back to Pasadena, returning to Jenny was a wonderful. Her technique is so precise and fast you're in and out before you know it, almost unbelievably quick and comfortable compared to anywhere else. She's also genuinely warm, down to earth, and easy to talk to. She makes you feel completely at ease from the moment you walk in. Every appointment feels like catching up with a kind friend rather than just getting waxed. Her personality is the perfect bonus to her exceptional skill. The studio is cute, clean, and super convenient with easy parking. After experiencing the alternatives, I can confidently say no one else compares. Jenny is the complete package, outstanding at her craft and a truly nice person. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I recommend her to everyone!
