    My perfect gold glitter nails!

    Christa is a nailgician! She transformed my nails (which did not get done during the pandemic) to spectacular works of art!!! First of all, she always cuts and files them exactly how I want it. They look perfect without polish, which should be the proper way to do it. Other places are so lazy when I ask for my nails to be cut a certain way. Next, I wanted gold glitter, and Christa didn't just apply glitter polish. She actually custom built different kinds of glitter to make my fingernails really shine! They look just amazing!!! Both my mani & pedi are sooo perfect that I can't stop looking at my hands and feet right now. Christa is also a really fun person to hang out with, so that's another plus! Before I ever discovered Christa, I would go to nail salons where sometimes the person doing my nails either didn't talk to me or spoke in another language to their coworkers the entire time. Oh yeah - she really, really, really cares about sanitizing her studio. Thanks, Christa! You're a magician AND an artist!

    Love christa! She is a legit nail guru! From the trends, colors, cleanliness... she does it and has it all! She has been doing my nails for a year now and I don't trust anyone else! She's very professional in her work and knowledge of nail products! Always up to date and has the latest coolest designs. Her studio is cute, clean and relaxing! She will do what's best for your nails, take her time, and perfect her work! Couldn't ask for a better gal to have so do my nails! She has a great personality and always knows how to make me laugh! If you haven't tried her yet, you must!!!!

    Being a new mommy I worried will I ever get my nails done. After taking some time to think about it and researched through yelp, I found Nailgician. I give 5 stars across the board for service, expertise, cleanliness and skills. I was able to bring my newborn baby into her studio which made it easy for me. She was very accommodating in allowing me to attend to my baby when needed. I definitely recommend Christas services if you looking for a good nail artist. Thank you for all your magical work.

    Christa is an artist!! I met Christa when she was with Olive and June. She just recently went out on her own and I have followed her down the street to her new place. She is super creative and is always honest about what works and what doesn't. And the manicures are top notch!!

    So thankful for Christa for taking me on for a same day appointment. She was super nice and professional and had an awesome playlist. She has a studio within a salon of different independent studios in Pasadena, near Target. My nails came out amazing and I am so so happy with them. Nails: acrylic with gel. I would def recommend and will be back.

    Christa is so endearing and friendly, and I felt like I was getting my nails done by a good friend.

    Sometimes in life you just want different, local nail shops in your area are great. But I…read moredefinitely took my time with this choice. I was just randomly googling different nails places near me, and this had to be about the second or third time searching google and really getting the feel of the place just from its photography and appearance. Mind you I was browsing first to find air brush, but then I came across some nail inspiration and boom. I found the "one" look I wanted. So just from the nail inspiration I wanted to find a nail place that gave me what I was feeling from the photograph, a meditation zone, a mini vacation, some earthy vibes, a peace of mind. So out of all the places I came across I chose this one, mainly because my baby nephew name is Mason, but then I looked into the website and it felt amazing just from its art , the style of nails. The appearance everything. And randomly walking in and getting paired with "yuki" she was amazing. A friendly host, we chatted a bit, but honestly her vibe was so peaceful you didn't even want to ruin the moment, her silence was peaceful enough. I sat in the middle row so I had views of outside just taking in the city and the scenery, amazing vibes. I would highly recommend trying this place out. Book with "yuki" if you can , to be quite frank everyone in there salon looks they do amazing work. Like any nail technician you get paired with with get the job done. Give it a 5 star . Thank you again "Yuki" for everything.

    This place is a hit or miss. It all depends on the nail tech and there quite a few poor ones so be…read morecareful. I've had a nail tech who didn't know how to do french nails. Another one who put way too much polish that my nails couldn't dry. And others who are unsanitary when doing my nails.

I called within a week to let them know, and I was told the repairs would be done at no charge as long as I reported it within that timeframe. I was also advised to take photos to document the date in case I couldn't come in right away. When I came in today, I was told I would be charged because I had gel builder, as if a gel builder manicure is only expected to last four days. I showed the picture and let them know what I was told, unfortunately they do not keep their word. This was very disappointing and completely inconsistent with what I was originally told. To make matters worse, after fixing the nails, the staff did not help me find a color that matched my existing nails and instead rushed me to "make a decision." The entire experience felt unprofessional and customer service was clearly not a priority. Unfortunately, this experience reminded me why I stopped coming here in the first place. It seems the focus is more on making money than on standing behind the quality of the work or taking care of customers. I left feeling disappointed.

These ladies stay booked and busy for very good reason. Make an appointment, treat yourself to all the extras, and prepare to briefly forget every problem you've ever had. The massage chairs alone could convince me to make some questionable financial decisions. And the nails? Always flawless. No streaks, no chips, no surprises--just consistently beautiful work every single time. I've been coming here for years and somehow still leave wondering why I don't book my next appointment before I even walk out the door. A neighborhood gem. If you can get in, you're lucky. If you remembered to make an appointment, you're smarter than me.

I got a pedicure here about a month ago and it was bad (sloppy cuticle work, no top coat) but came back for a gel-x set yesterday to give them the benefit of the doubt. The tech was very nice, but the set is just not good: 1. I asked her to make sure she maintained my side walls and said I was ok with them needing to be longer if the length I specified would mean she had to file my side walls. This didn't happen. Side walls were filed off. 2. Nails look "ski sloped". 3. Set already looks grown out. It's been less than 24 hrs. 4. Salon was visibly dirty and tools were obviously being reused. Gloss is now a skip. Sadly, this was the end of the road for me with Gloss.

I came as a walk-in and did have to wait a bit, but that's to be expected on a weekend. There's a really nice counter to sit at while you're waiting for service which adds to the luxury feel.

From the start, she was sweet, welcoming, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She walked me through the entire process, answered all my questions, and continuously checked in to make sure I was comfortable and happy with her work. She gave me plenty of options while also offering her expertise on which tones and colors she thought would complement me best--and I really appreciated that. The shop got a little busy while I was there, but I was impressed by how all of the technicians handled the crowd with style and grace. Most importantly, Hannah never made me feel rushed.
