    Love this place! I just went for the first time to get a gel x removal after another salon had literally drilled into my nail bed causing a dent. Chi was amazing, she took so much care with the removal and was so sweet. I think the color application was fantastic especially since my nails have that bump in them from the last place. Thank you so much Chi!

    I got a last minute regular manicure from Rainey. I will most definitely go back. Rainey is not only talented, but a wonderful person to chat with. The salon is clean, well lighted and back parking lot is stress free.

    inside store and pedicure chairs

    i went there yesterday because i was in the area and needed a fast pedicure gel pedicure was 73$ the girl did a nice job i liked her but it's regular chairs white color with lots of dirty spots on them, my friend said im not sitting on that, then they bring water in a basin not a regular nail salon spa chair, my friends they said no prices are too high and service with basins no way what century are we in!!!

    Gel mani $45 by Linh  Color bubble bath

    Linh did my mani and Hannah did my pedi. They got me done real quick, so I still got to take advantage of that free 90 min parking. Got my basic bubble bath pink and each coat was nicely polished on. Would recommend for the basics mani/pedi. Also super clean inside which is a plus!

    This is the best nail salon in the valley--hands down. I drive about 15 mins from Glendale to come here because I love it so much. I tried a couple of spots in my area and they just didn't hit right. I've gotten some really terrible pedis in Glendale and most people don't seem to be super down for the kind of manicure I get. It's all GelX, dip, or nothing. Nestled in a little shopping strip modeled after British "Arcades"-- It's a super small spot, but I like that. I've gotten both one of the best manicures and pedicures of my life here. Vy is a genius on my nails-- I am a content creator for a company, so a bit of a hand model in some ways. I like to get eye-catching designs, and Vy has not failed me yet. I get gel overlay/hard gel on my natural nails. No extensions. It's a time consuming preference, but Vy is a incredibly accommodating. If you're looking for a place that feels like you're own little best-kept-secret-- this is it!

    gel french tip glitter design done on right hand. look closely to how poorly gel was applied

    Went here on a weekday with an appointment and got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. in spite of having an appointment they double booked and i didn't get to see my manicurist til 40 minutes after my appt. I asked for a french tip design on my ring finger for both hands and didn't notice it wasn't applied correctly til I got home. the glitter smeared all over my ring finger and residual glitter got on my other fingers (see pics). Tried contacting the salon via their website contact page and DM Nailbox instagram to rectify this situation and got no answer. Super disappointed as I work down the street from here.

    Amazing service and attention to detail! Staff is friendly and welcoming. The decor is beautiful and adds to the pampering experience. Highly recommend!

    AMAZING salon! Super clean and aesthetic inside, very monochromatic. Lynn did an excellent job on my set, she really paid attention to the details I asked for and was super communicative about what she was capable of doing :) I've been on the hunt for an affordable nail salon and their prices can't be beat! So affordable and reasonably priced, I was able to leave a really big tip because of it! They do mani's and pedi's if you want the best of both worlds. I will absolutely be returning, this is my new go-to spot! I did chrome aura :)

    Pasadena Nailbox is definitely a more intimate nail salon, which I enjoy. Additionally, the nail salon was clean and the techs were friendly and accommodating.

    I love this place. They are super nice and professional. Staff really take the time to ensure my mani looks perfect.

    I visited Haley's Nails Salon on Mother's Day weekend and overall I'd give my experience a 3/5…read more I called around 3 p.m. asking if they had availability. At first I was told 4 p.m., then it got pushed to 4:30, which was totally fine. When I arrived, the salon was pretty packed, which I expected because of Mother's Day. I got the $39 classic pedicure with callus removal, and overall the pedicure itself was nice. The process just felt a little rushed. They still did the massage and hot towel, but everything moved pretty quickly, as the lady kept saying her back hurt, which I understand considering how busy they were. For my acrylic nails, I showed a reference picture. They didn't have the exact color from the photo, which honestly wasn't a problem for me. My main request was short, very square nails. Unfortunately, it felt like my request for shorter nails was more of a hassle than anything. Since I was one of the last clients there and the owner was doing my nails, it honestly seemed rushed toward the end of the appointment. I didn't notice everything right away because I left around 6:30 and headed to the store afterward. Once I really looked at my nails, I noticed several issues. Some nails are different lengths and sizes, some look crooked, and the shape came out more rounded/"duck nail" style instead of the short square shape I asked for. I'll be including pictures for reference. My total before tip came out to $104 and then to $107 after a $3 card charge that wasn't disclosed beforehand. I still left a $25 tip because I understand how busy and stressful holiday weekends can be. In total, I paid $132, which makes it more disappointing considering I'm not happy with the acrylic set itself. I understand acrylic can only be corrected so much once it's already done, so I didn't feel like there was much that could realistically be fixed afterward. At this point, I'll just wait for them to grow out. Would I return? Probably for a pedicure. Would I get acrylics here again? Most likely not. I think this experience was more of a lesson for me personally that acrylics may just not be for me anymore. Overall, not a horrible experience, but I wasn't satisfied with the final nail result, especially for the price, so I'd give this salon a solid 2/5.

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.

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.

The day OF less than an hour before my new appt time and pushed it an hour. Ok fine whatever Lisa is (I'm assuming) the owner and the receptionist interrupted three times to ask what they should tell customers throughout my appointment. She immediately told me we couldn't do builder gel because my nails were too short. Okay, I'll keep being flexible. I had chosen a design and showed.explained it to Lisa. She expressed that one of the colors I chose might be too sheer for the intended purpose, which was correct. I asked her to help me find an alternative that was lighter than the example picture. She brought me a few colors that were continuously darker. I decided to go with a solid color instead of the design I came in wanting. One of the other employees made a comment in Vietnamese that I was being difficult with my color selections. I did not engage. This did put me off vibewise though that they were busy enough to push peoples appointments, but that I couldn't ask for what I wanted to pay for. I then canceled my pedicure. Overall, the gel-x nails we did instead look nice and the price ($70) is pretty fair for the surrounding areas. I was just disappointed in the way I kept feeling put off as a paying customer. I fully recognize this is a first world problem, but it was frustrating nonetheless.
