Pasadena Nails & Skin Care - #Renee - Nail Salons Near Me - Altadena, California

Do not come to this location. The owner Anna is rude loves to yell at her employees and customers. Shop is small and dirty . I had an appointment and waited 30 mins to be seen and then the owner made two technicians bounce back and forth on my nails. Unprofessional and disgusting read more

Been coming to this place for over 17 years with Renee. They changed from other locations but have been here in Altadena for a couple of years now. Service is great and the parking is easy. They've been affected by the fires and lots of the businesses around them have not yet reopened. They need our support. Come try them out and you will not be disappointed! read more

We have been going here for many years and have always been happy with their service. I wouldn't think of going any place else. They where effected by the Altadena Fire. They last a lot of their customers when the surrounding home burned. It would be great to help support them. They are very friendly. Easy parking. read more

The staff is very welcoming as soon as you walk in! Anna did my eyebrows and they turned out amazing and sharp! Ruby did my nails and they turned out amazing. Would recommend coming to get your nails and eyebrows here !!! read more

We've been customers for decades! Since they opened in the 90s, in the Plaza Pasadena, we've followed Anna and the girls to every location they called home. The quality of their work is amazing! Renee is my go-to for a nice and clean French manicure and lovely polished toes. My daughter adores Ruby. Rudy is also the best at heavily callused feet. The mango scrub and warm towel are so relaxing. After every spa mani-pedi combo, you get a nice little neck/arm massage. read more

Shout out to Renee!!! Thank you for going above and beyond to take care of my nails and make me feel special. I lived in Pasadena a few years ago and would come here frequently. I moved far away a 2 hour drive but still come back here for the superb service patience and design style. Where I live now no nail shop has GelX. Shops here don't know what cats eye is. Two different shops here cut my finger and toe!!! WTF Renee knew exactly what I needed and handled it like the pro she is. If I could give Pasadena nails 10 stars I would. Save yourself some pain and heartache and come here. You'll see and feel the difference. read more

Love Rene! Customer for 10y plus. I find the team very friendly. The location is minimal to make it more affordable for the customers. read more

I really hoped to have loved this place, but was so sad when I was yet again disappointed. I live walking distance from here so it would have been my preferred salon. I had been once before for a pedicure and had paid a decent amount for a decent pedicure. This time I went for my gel manicure. Uhhhhh!!! I left so sad. My nail tech was such a doll. She was very friendly and polite and I felt she was genuine. Unlike the other ladies there. But sadly she did a horrible job on me. My nails started to chip by the following afternoon. The gel on a few of them was half gone by day two and three. Not only that, the gel was past my cuticles and looked hideous. Time to pay. $38 for my gel manicure plus $5 tip. My regular place that I should have just gone to I pay $40 for gel manicure and pedicure. They are on Union and Lake and have amazing service. My nails last three weeks and don't chip off. I wish this place had worked out for me since it's a few feet away from me. read more

Recently popped in to this nail shop for a mani and pedi and had a really good experience. Because I was a walk in I had to wait a bit, but all the attendants were really nice and I knows the wait was worth it. Lots of colors to choose from and prices were reasonable. The chairs had the expected massage option and the attendants would also do a hand massage for shoulders and legs with various packages. In and out took about 1.25 hours! They do charge to use credit cards, but their prices are so reasonable that the additional charge is not outrageous! It's hard to see the name of the shop behind the tree, but it's well worth it! read more

They got me in right away and did a great job on my pedicure. Very nice ladies. I will be returning.

This place is a joke, if I could give negative stars I would. The manicurist claims she's been doing nails for over a 10 years but a child could've done a better job. I was left with nail polish on both hands and when I asked if it could be removed she informed me that they use nail polish off the nail so that it doesn't chip. Not to mention my cuticles were not touched. Update: Today is Tuesday, I got may nails done on Sunday. Monday morning this was the result of my gel manicure. read more

I'm not the kind of girl that has to get her nails done all the time. And with a nail salon at practically every corner here in L.A., it's kinda hard to find a memorable place that gives a positive memorable experience that will keep me coming back when I do feel like being girly and getting my nails done. My nine year old step-daughter seemed to be hankering for some much needed mommy time this last weekend, so I called a friend who has impeccable nails, ALL THE TIME, and she recommended this place. She said that she had been going to this nail salon since 1990. I know, right? Pampered bitch. I called at two and they told me to come at three. When we waltzed in at three, they seated us promptly. I noticed that there were just a few other customers being serviced. They soaked my little girls feet first and after five minutes they had someone else start to soak my feet. I dropped my friends name and they knew who she was, so I don't know if that made a difference in the way they serviced us. First, I must confess, I've got some gnarly lookin' toes and I've been to nail salons where they flinch when they look at my feet. Right? That's how fugly they are. But the lady who did my feet, she didn't flinch. She embraced my quasimodo toes. I mean, for all I know she could have been talkin' smack in Vietnamese to the other nail ladies, but none of them craned their necks to have a look at the mangled mess attached to my legs. For this, they get high marks from me. Another reason they get high marks is that they treated my little girl like a princess. They gave her the full treatment, massage and everything and they put flowers on her big toes, which put big smiles on our faces. From the outside it's not all that glamorous looking, but they sure made me and my little girl feel like it. Yay! I'm a fan! read more

Pasadena Nails & Skin Care - Lula's toes. Thanks for the flowers! - Nail Salons Near Me - Altadena, California

The new location is gorgeous (compared to their old facilities). The old bldg is being demolished and their new location is just down the street on Colorado across from Roy's Restaurant. Parking is a bit inconvenient b/c everything is paid parking around the Pasadena Playhouse. Ruby is great and they charge a reasonable price for Gel Mani's. Plus you get $10 off if you do a Mani-Pedi combo. They don't skimp on the gel here either. If you're not in a rush, they'll massage your shoulders while your nails are drying too. Totally worth every penny! read more

I love this nail place. Judging by how extremely busy they are at all hours of the day, I'm not alone. I am VERY picky about who does my nails and how they're done. Basically, I'm your worst nightmare of a client in the chair. No joke. I've berated nail ladies for the tiniest of things. However, I can easily sit back and relax here. I've been coming here for roughly 7 years that I've lived in the neighborhood. After 7 years, I am a regular of one of 2 people- the owner or Linda. Both are excellent at doing fillings, full sets of acrylic, etc... There are a couple of girls who do the pedicures, too, and I'm really a fan. First of all, they're SUPER CLEAN here. Pedicures (even spa pedicures) are done in a clean tub with a plastic bag so you don't come into contact with the tub. And there's the blue disinfectant stuff they use. And oh yeah, the tools they pull out of disinfectant stuff. This is very important as I had a friend who went to a not so clean spot in Glendale and suffered through agonizing surgery for the raging infection they gave her. The owner is the lady who does the waxings and facials there and she's actually really good. My brows are always perfectly shaped here. Love it. And the price is cheap. Overall, the staff is extremely friendly. I keep their number on speed dial in my cell and when I have some time to do my nails, I call them to see if I can just pop in and get my nails/ waxings done. I've never had a bad experience here and am always extremely satisfied. read more

My acrylic fill began to lift when she was buffing my nails. I had told her that she needed to buff out the shine in my nails, she refused to. That led to my acrylic not sticking to my nails. I showed her and she did not care and did not offer to fix it. Never coming back. Not saying that this is a all bad business but this particular woman needs to be trained, possibly learn more English, and just aim to please. She had a clear opportunity to do so and she refused to be humble and use her nail drill to buff out the shine in my nails. It's clear that she cannot even use the machine, it was going at very different speeds and sometimes it to long for the nail drill to even start. Very unprofessional. Not such a clean establishment. They do not offer a cushion for you forearm. No reason for me to ever come back. Also the color application is worse that having a five year old do it for you. Sloppy, way far way from the cuticle, the edges are not even covered. Just all bad! read more

Good service and I like to able to walk in and get a quick appointment but worst quality of gel nails I've ever had. I've had gel nails around 100 times and they always last about 1.5-2 weeks. This is after 4 days, no pools or beach (which is usually the case) and they look terrible. Total waste of money. read more

Looked for a good place in Pasadena for mani/pedi for me and a few girlfriends. Thus place had pretty good reviews, seemed bright and clean and had the nicer massage chairs with four soak tubs. Even though we were all late for our appointments, they were still very accommodating when I called to let them know. The ladies were all waiting for us when we got there. Everyone was really friendly and one of the gals kept joking around with us which I thought was cute. They did exactly what we had wanted, colors and design. Nothing too complex but they made sure to take their time and make sure we were completely satisfied. We even got quick shoulder and arm massages for our gel manicures and pedicures. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely go back. read more

No stars - this place is horrible. They DON'T sanitize their tools which cause for toe to get infected!!! Went back 2 days after to get a refund and made me write a letter stating what had occurred which I found to be ridiculous since ANA could see pus coming out of my toe. Went to ER immediately after that, I was provided with antibiotics for the infection and was sent to a Podiatrist to remove nail because the infection had spread trough out the toe and 1/2 of my nail was removed. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!! read more

Clean salon with nice technicians, but my mani/pedi has never looked worse. My gel mani is lumpy, my cuticles weren't properly cleaned or trimmed, and 2 days in it's already chipping - and it was a GEL mani. My pedi was cut all wrong - nails are literally slanted or crooked. I asked twice for a different cut and the technician didn't understand and laughed me off. Complete waste of money. read more

Very unsanitary , they are really bad at dissecting their tools . I don't recommend coming here . read more

I had another errand near here today, so I stopped in with my husband for pedicures while we waited. They were able to take us both right away. The salon was clean. The pedicure chairs were nice. The regular polish selection was so-so. (Not really very organized, mish-mash of brands, many old-looking bottles.) I asked for their $45 pedicure for both of us which included callus removal, a scrub, a mask, and a massage. I got all of that, but there was a misunderstanding for my husband. He just got the basic pedicure. He didn't complain because he didn't know what I had asked for. He was really with his basic pedicure, and I had one of the best pedicures I've had in a long time. My feet were hoofs, and the nail tech did a great job of trimming and filing and buffing them back into good shape. I will go here again, and I would recommend their pedicures to others. read more

Anna is amazing and they moved to an incredible new location in Altadena! They are open late on Fridays and the courtyard that they are located in is soo charming. Live acoustic music playing outside, gelato & wine next door AND the best mani/pedi available in town. Their dedication and time is next level! The new address is 751 E Altadena Dr. A must stop for all nail care needs! read more

I was kinda nervous coming in because of the mix of reviews that I saw on yelp. My friend and I came in as walk ins around 1:30 pm on a Saturday. She was got a gel manicure (they could take her right away) and I got a pedicure (I had to wait approx 30 min). I had a great experience. She did a fantastic job. It came with a foot massage. The polish job was very clean and neat. All for $20! When I saw my friends nails, they were not that neat, so unsure what she would rate the experience but for me- I thought it was great! read more

It has been a long time since I took to yelp to gripe, but this place sucks. I tried to email the salon through their website, and you cant. I got a mani pedi there 2 days ago, and my nails look so bad that Im angry. I paid to have callus removal, and I still have a lot of calluses. The manicurist didnt remove the clear polish on my nails, just painted over, and now I have ugly, messy, chipped RED paint on top of old gels on my fingers and toes. This was my 2nd time there, and first time wasn't great. She put GLITTER in my french tip gels, and cut me 3 times. read more

Pretty bad at doing gel nails, the lady clearly had zero talent, and I ended up with a nail infection. Don't go here.

My daughter went for a pedicure yesterday and employee scrubbed the bottom of her feet so hard that her foot was bleeding!!! How is that even possible to be that rough! My daughter texted me while the blood was dripping on the towel and I told her to ask the to clean it with alcohol which they did after my daughter asked. I'm now freaking out and scared that she will get an infection and putting peroxide etc on her foot. In the meantime it's painful for her to walk. Someone at this saloon needs to get their act together and start paying attention. read more

Had some time to kill and needed a pedicure so I tried this place out with a friend. The pedicures were just ok but the good review killers were these: - my nail tech was either hard of hearing or didn't speak English. But she didn't acknowledge either so I don't know. I know that I had a few requests and she kept nodding and smiling and not doing what I asked. - my friend didn't want polish but to buff the nails it was $5- which is both a high price (it's usually $3 and really, why charge @ all. there's no material being used and it take the same amount of time as polish) and generally they notify you of the charge. I wouldn't go back or recommend the place. read more

I got a mani/pedi here on 2/14/19 & now it is 2/26/19 and THREE of my nails have already fallen off. It hasn't even been two weeks yet. This is unacceptable and I will not be back. She cut my nails all different lengths & the polish started chipping within days. The only good thing was the pedicure. That's holding up really well, but the lady that did my nails did a horrible job and it took her forever to finish. There are plenty of less expensive salons in Pasadena that will do a better job. Avoid this place if you want to get your money's worth. $60 down the drain. read more

If you come here for a mani/pedi, book ahead of time with Ruby or Renee. I don't recommend any of the other girls (tried most). Ruby and Renee are the best of the bunch!! If you need your eyebrows waxed, Anna does a great job. They prefer you pay with cash. If you pay with a credit card, you will get charged an extra dollar. They have always been upfront with me about the extra charge. I like this place since they have the massage chairs-hard to find around that area! read more
