It took a little over 30 minutes for someone to start helping me. There was a white couple that walked in after me and they got helped before I did, which triggered to ask what was going on with me. Anyway, I did the dip nail polish. Not a fan. The girl that helped me messed up a couple of times, I messed it up at the end :( Maybe it wasn't the tech but I don't think it was worth the money. It doesn't look clean and smooth. I just won't come back here again. Way too overpriced for what you get. read more

I requested an acrylic fill with gel polish and a pedicure with gel, paid $120 plus tip $25 plus repair $25 and they didn't repair toes. Garbage.... I don't want to blame the work so much on the tech Ashley and Kaylee , although they are trained to work like hurricanes. I say this because what normally takes a good two hours of relaxation, this work was done in 45 minutes. It was 45 min of at least 20 technicians working and speaking to one another in Vietnamese and laughing obnoxiously with one another while paying clients just looked at one another and rolled their eyes at one another apparently annoyed , me included. But let just say that's the vibe at most shops. But what really petered me was the quality of nail polishes, I got my nails done Friday the 13th of October, by October 17th my nail polish began to bubble and feel sticky , I called them so they could redo the color , I asked if I could do a French tip and I would pay. Tech told me it would be $15 dollars only due to the polish being not dried correctly at first . I agreed and moved forward. As I left to pay the cashier lady told me it would cost $25 because of the color change ???? I was puzzled and disagreed with her and she proceeded to say sorry that's the way it was. I paid and sadly I didn't tip the tech because I felt overcharged. I really hope she gave the tech who did my French tips a percentage .... Sick of these money hungry techs who buy cheap products to make an extra buck, and they have a ring full of zelle and Venmo information for every tech used for separate tipping, or you can "pay cash." Going home to my Las Vegas tech who is amazing and never leaves me unsatisfied. read more

This is my first nail salon I've been to in over a year so I did my best to research a salon that I would feel comfortable with (especially since I'm pregnant.) Before visiting Gloss Nail Spa, I've been getting my nails done at a nail tech's house and would get Gel X/Gel manicures that I absolutely love and was able to really grow and take care of my nails (since I stopped getting acrylics.) Recently, I needed to get my nails done last minute (as well as a pedicure since my go-to nail tech only does nails) so I decided to give Gloss Nails Spa a chance! I'll break it down in sections: Salon: - All techs and clients are required to wear masks. The first door said they check temperatures but I didn't get mine checked so maybe they stopped doing that (if so, they should probably update their sign) - All nail desks and pedicure chairs have clear barriers in between. - I felt safe being here, which was a huge plus for me! Improvement: - The front desk answered all their appointment calls via speaker phone that was ruining the "vibe" of feeling relaxed when getting my nails done. Not sure if this is an everyday thing but something I personally feel should be done aloud because it was a bit distracting. - My nail tech (Natalie) was good, not great. I did want a specific design and she did her best to re-create it. I liked my nails, I just didn't LOVE them. - My pedicure lady was great!! Overall, it was a good experience...especially if you're pressed with time and just need to get your nails done ASAP. Gel mani came out to $50. Regular Pedicure came out to $25. Total of $75! I was done in 1 hour. read more

I paid $100 for these nails Thursday and 2 days later and they were lifting and the tips were not painted well. I called and had an appointment to fix them yesterday however, I decided not to go back as they "fixed" my friends nails and left them the same. It was not worth my time having to go back so they can throw some clear gel on them. *UPDATE although they were lifting the 2 days after, they are still hanging on. The nails get stuck in my hair when I run my fingers through my hair however, they have not fallen off. read more

I made an appointment last weekend for a dipped mani/regular pedi. The studio was clean, and I appreciated the steps taken towards being covid safe. Everyone was masked, my temp was taken, and I was politely asked to wash my hands before browsing colors. Thank you to both ladies who helped me (unfortunately I only remember one name, thank you Olivia!) I love my natural set! The process was relaxing, there were many colors to choose from, and I was finished up in about an hour. So glad this new location is close to home. Can't wait to go back! read more

3rd time at this place. Each time service was so rushed and 2 of the nail tech's extremely rude. Today I asked for almond shape and got whatever the lady doing my manicure felt like giving me. She rushed me out of the pedicure chair in such a rude way. Practically pushing me to hurry up. When I got to the manicure table station she tried to grab my hand to start my manicure while I was still trying to hang my purse and fix my sandals so the fresh polish would not get damaged. I think they highly dislike doing regular nails, meaning NO gel. I do not get gel because of the chemicals. I think this upsets them because they make less money on that person. Well today was horrible. The lady doing my manicure at one point asked me, does this look OK after she finish filing? I responded by telling her that 1 Nail needed to be filed more. Wow, she got really upset. She pushed my hand down and said you need to wait. Wait till I'm done. She really pissed the **** out of me, so I told her then why are you asking me. Then don't ask me. She said ok I will fix after. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS OVERRATED NAIL SHOP. Paid $90.00 for crappy looking nails. I can also do a better job filing than this lady. This nail tech should not pull on peoples hands and push them. Some people react when being physically mishandled and pulled this way. She should learn gentle hand manners. read more

I love this place! Been here 3 times now and always had a great experience. Nail art Gel X extensions simple but clean polish or gel they do it all. Plus the location always feels clean and cared for. 10/10 recommend this place. read more

I've been here on 3 occasions to get a dip manicure and a delux pedicure. Every time the dip manicure has chipped within 24 hours. After my 3rd appointment I can back in the following day to complain and get a repair. They reluctantly fixed one nail, but with a terrible attitude and a poor quality repair. I came back again 2 days later as more were chipping and they refused to re-do the manicure, even though they told me they would if it happened again. I will not go back again and do not recommend. read more

I really like this place. I've come twice this month because they are very professional, efficient, and they do a nice job. The nail technicians that have serviced my nails thus far have always been very friendly. My dip pedicure this past time with Lisa is a much higher quality than the first one I got, but I wasn't dissatisfied with either. My pedicure looks great as well. You can pay with card but they have Venmo or cash for tip, which I find extremely convenient. I love Venmo. What a great idea. This salon is cute, relaxing, and they do a nice job! Price for dip mani and regular pedi: $75 FYI: make an appt. they are busy. I can't imagine a time when a walk in would be a good idea LOL read more

I made an appointment the day before for a 1:00 mani/pedi with a friend. We arrived 15 minutes early and were seated about 5 minutes after arriving. They have a very wide range of nail polish colors from various brands. I ended up choosing a bright pink Zoya polish. The pedicure chairs were very large, the staff was so kind and efficient. They made sure to ask my preferences for everything from massage pressure, nail shape, and polish color. I told my nail technician that it was my first time back since the pandemic began and that I wanted a super thorough pedicure so she told me about their deluxe offerings and was very transparent about the pricing because I asked for a callous removal as well. Now sitting at home I'm so happy with my nails, my arms and hands feel so soft and I'm so excited to go back and probably do the deluxe again. I highly recommend Gloss nail spa if you need anything done! read more

I came to get gel x for my daughter and I and also a pedi for myself. Beautiful setup, a huge variety of colors, and up to date. The ladies did quality work. I've been trying to find a nail salon that I can frequent. I really wanted to like this place but it seemed a bit too rushed for me. The lady working at the front desk kept on running back and forth to do my nails and the lady doing my pedi was not very friendly. I will continue my search. read more

Cleanliness: 10/10 Staff friendliness: 10/10 Variety of colors: 10/10 Beauty of interior: 10/10 Parking 10/10 This place caught my eye with their beautiful work in Yelp and I was not disappointed. The parking lot right across the street was 90 minutes free and I made it under the cutoff. The staff followed covid guidelines and asked me to wash my hands. After I noted my appointment time I only waited 2 minutes before I was assisted. My tech was beautiful inside and out, incredibly kind and professional. She did a beautiful job on my hands and feet. And was able to save my broken nail & repair one that was short. I can't wait to go again. I felt truly taken care of and I feel beautiful! read more

Horrible nails. Super thick. They tried to blame the curve of my nails instead of their poor work. Really horrible experience. Buyer beware.

When I first started going to gloss I always asked for Kevin. He was amazing but unfortunately he left and I would always go to whoever was available which was always very hit or miss and many times discouraged me from going back...until I found Nikki. She is so precise and pays extra attention to detail and I'm not kidding when I say this is the cleanest best manicure I've ever had. Go see Nikki if you can! read more

Thao from Gloss Nails reached out to me and offered to refund me for the manicure or have it redone. I appreciate a business owner that cares about client experience and is willing to take steps to remedy a negative one. I had my manicure redone by Jane and it was great! Truly like night and day. I had the exact same manicure done and the results were so different (this time much better). Jane was friendly and was gentle while removing my previous manicure. The owner checked in to see how things were going and was very friendly as well. The manicure itself is beautiful. My biggest complaint with the last one was how thick & blob-y it appeared, changing the shape and of my nails. This time my nails feel delicate and natural. The gel is thin and smooth and the white of the manicure is nicely sheer as requested. Really happy, beautiful job! Will be returning :) read more

Started going here about two months ago and I honestly love Natalie! I've been going to the same person for over 10 years so to start working with someone else was a little scary. I did a y Yelp deep dive and found Natalie after a friend recommended Gloss. I really enjoy Gloss, it's very easy to find and there's plenty of parking in the structure across the street. Natalie is super professional and a sweet heart. Everyone is always nice and very attentive, especially during their peak hours (something I pay attention too). Definitely recommend this place. read more

I came into gloss nail spa on Friday 9/9, for a gel manicure and was told I should get dip powder which is 10 dollars more but would last so much longer. Meanwhile, my nails started chipping off yesterday, a week and a day later. I called today to ask if they could fix the four nails that have chipped. They explained since it was a day over a week that they couldn't help me without charging me. I will be finding a new shop that does better quality work. read more

I made an appointment for a gel manicure. I felt very rushed like a cow being herded. It wasn't the cleanest. I came in with clean hands and there's brown stains on my finger pads that isn't coming off from the cuticle remover gel. The lady cut my cuticle too deep, and it bled. She also skipped a few essential steps in the gel manicure process like wiping the nails before applying the nail polish. I probably won't be coming back. read more

I'm always satisfied with this place. Today, I went in and Tanya did my nails. While she was working on them, I realized I wasn't happy with how they were looking, so I stopped her immediately. Mind you, I really hate having to say when I don't like how something is coming along cause I don't want to bother them, nor do I want them to feel like they're wasting their time. However, I didn't want to waste her time, only to later let her know that I didn't like them. Furthermore, I told her I wasn't happy with how they were looking and she didn't make a fuss, nor did she look annoyed and I really thank her for that. She turned my awkward experience of having to tell her that I didn't like them, to a positive experience by still assisting me and providing me with great customer service. At the end she even said "I'm glad, you found a color you liked." Thank you so much Tanya! Everyone here is always so nice, even the receptionist is a sweetheart. read more

Amazing location it is super clean and very cute. I got the lex pedicure and it was so relaxing. The staff is extremely friendly.

Came in for an emergency nail service because my fiancée had one of her nails popped off just minutes before our engagement photoshoot. Walked in and explained our situation and even though we didn't have anything substantial service done, just gluing back on one nail, the ladies in this store were very compassionate and understanding of our situation even with a full house of customers. 10 minutes later were we out and about, problem solved, they insisted that we don't pay for the quick service, again very nice people in this store. Just wanted to take my time to thank them and that we appreciate them for helping us. Please stop by and support this business it's also the top nail service in Old Town Pasadena! read more

Gloss mail spa in Pasadena is my favorite spot to get my nails done! They are always so polite and friendly. I have been going there for about a year And can honestly say I have never received a bad set. I will say they do a better job at gel x than acrylic.

I have done everything from Airbrush ombre nails to unique designs and they always get it right. I absolutely love gloss nail and highly recommend it read more
