The first time I got a full set (white tip) done by the gentleman there, they turned yellow within 2 days. The other problem with this salon is they need more staff. Every time I attempt a walk in or call in, they are always full. They have many empty chairs and only about 1/3 of them being used. They definitely need to hire more staff to accommodate the demand. read more

This is an updated review. I had previously left a 4/5 stars because even though this place is a bit pricey initially I had a good experience. I brought my mom here for a facial and to get her nails done. Molly the manager (or owner?) was really awful to her. We called ahead of time & let here know what services we wanted, set a time & showed up. Molly asked "so you want your nails done right?" my mom responded "yes" and she said "we're too busy right now, you can come back later" WHY did you have us come in then? we had to be somewhere that evening so we decided to go somewhere in the meantime and come back. we came back and she rushed the work & rushed her to leave. one of her nails got nicked in the drying machine so she asked molly to fix it. In the rudest way she rolled her eyes and then put a clear topping on her nail. It was just unacceptable. You don't treat people like that. I felt especially bad because I wanted to do something nice for my mom & I recommend that shop. My opinion, there are far better nail salons. Go somewhere else. read more

Well it's pricey and they don't take the time to do the nails right. They are thick and wide they look ugly very ugly.

This is my go-to nail salon because of the excellent work by all the staff. They are good, efficient, and the price is right. The entire salon is clean and professional. The color selection for gels is awesome too. Free parking in the lot. I always call ahead for an appointment. read more

I came for a gel manicure and regular pedicure (total $50). My manicure came out really great! The lady made sure to get out any bubbles and imperfections. She also tried her best to cover the entire nail. My pedicure also came out so cute! I also love their massage chairs of course. Can't get a pedicure in a regular chair. I called 15 minutes before I walked in and was helped right away on a Sunday afternoon around 2. They prefer tips in cash but they allowed me to add my tip to my credit card. I'd come back! read more

I have been going to pink nails for the past 4 years. This place has by far been the best! The employees are very nice and do great work! I drive 45 minutes every 3 weeks to come here just because i love them so much! They keep their salon super clean and well taken care of. They also have soooo many polishes to choose from! Here is a picture of a fill Molly did. She is amazing at what she does and is very passionate about her work. I 10/10 recommend pink nails read more

Pink Nails - Nails done by molly. (acrylic fill) such a beautiful color too! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Pink Nails is awesome - I have been coming here for over five years, and Molly (the owner) and her husband, and the entire staff are friendly, professional and do excellent work!! The salon is bright, cheerful and clean, and I always receive a warm greeting from the Pink Nails team, even when they are really busy. Molly runs a tight ship - if you make an appointment, you will be taken on time, and if you walk in without an appointment, she will give you an honest estimate of the wait time (one of the reasons Pink Nails stands out among its competitors, and one of the reasons that keeps me coming back). I always leave Pink Nails with a gorgeous set of nails on my hands and feet and a smile on my face -- I can't recommend them enough! read more

I make an appointment and they are always ready when I arrive. Clean and all Covid protocols are in place. They take their time to do an excellent job. I am diabetic and have never had any problems after getting my pedicures there. Reasonable prices and great service read more

This is my new favorite nail salon in South Pas. Needed to make a mani/pedi appointment last minute and my daughter suggested this place because all her friends go here (What?!!! When I was in high school, we did our own nails.) Called up and was able to get an appointment, same day, for my daughter and me. Located on busy Fair Oaks, across from the McDonalds, in the little strip mall. There's a parking lot and have always been able to find a spot. Quiet & clean salon. There are no chairs if you have to wait a bit (there are chairs for clients drying their nails, but they were taken by customers). Many chairs for pedis. Looked like there were only 3 people there working on a weekday afternoon. There was a tv with the sound off with subtitles, but you could hear pop music playing. Mani & Pedi were done neatly. Nails were cut a little shorter than I would have liked and she must have nicked me while working on my cuticles because I felt the burn when she used some alcohol. Oh well, I have a high pain tolerance (children will do that to you). Overall, I was pleased with the result and particularly the price (cheaper than what others are charging around town). read more

My expectant mums group had a pedicure event here on Saturday and the people here are very nice and welcoming. They had little water bottles for us and kept the door open so it was cool and ventilated for us pregnant ladies :-) They've only been open 2 months and it's new and clean. It's pretty big, but unfortunately they don't have a large staff to accommodate all of the chairs. Take advantage of the 20% off now! read more

This was my third time here. First two times wasn't perfect. But this time just worst nail salon experience ever. They cut my toe. Very bad attitude,did not even apologize. The lady in charge just seemed to ignore it. Don't go this place. read more

Came to this salon a few times, they've always been a little pushy on adding on services. I thought I'd treat my daughter to a nail polish... NAIL POLISH. They didn't have time at first. Which was totally ok. Then the nail technician said she could do it since my daughter wanted gel. My daughter didn't want it after all. But the nail tech said it's ok I'll just polish with gel and NOT do the full manicure. We said ok. Well they charged $30 for her little fingers without the full manicure. Their reply was well the full manicure is $35 what?!! Their regular manicure is $18. I though we'll I'm probably gonna pay $15 at most. I was not told ahead of time that they would be charging the full amount just for the "Gel Polish" no manicure! This is not the place to go to to have a mother daughter mani/pedi day. Not welcoming to young girls. If you're going to charge $30 for a gel polish only , you are taking advantage of your customers period!!! read more

Love this place! After going to many places Downtown and in Pasadena this is my fav for quality and price. The women who work here all do an amazing job, work attentively but at the same time pay attention to detail. I always get a gel manicure and a spa pedicure. Gels lasts a solid two weeks. Specifics: Massage chairs are clean and comfy. The pillows the place on your lap for gels are fluffy and the new kind of clean. Today the led lamp was a new ergonomic Opi lamp- very nice. The basins and tools are sanitized after every use and each employee has her own set of clean, organized and labeled tools and materials (sponges, buffers, etc.) Colors galore! And all the good brands you expect to see- tons of gel colors! Entire shop is squeaky clean. Bathroom and floors are super clean, cute pink design without any clutter. Owner/manager is always on site taking clients as needed and overseeing quality. Nice touches: warm lotion and hot towels after foot and arm massages, bottled water always offered, ample parking, convenient location. read more

Pink Nails - Lots and lots of colors to pick from! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Molly did an amazing job on my rockstar gel manicure. She was very helpful in finding a glitter that complemented my base color. Not only did she do an amazing job on my nails, she was very friendly. I did not feel as if she was rushing to finish the job. She took the time to do it perfectly all while a talking with me. It may not seem like much, but it's always nice to be treated like a person rather than just a paycheck. I will definitely be back. read more

Pink Nails - Rockstar gel manicure!!! Thanks Molly! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

First time trying out this nail salon and it was great. I walked in without appointment and 30 mins before closing time and they still gave me the best costumer service. My acrylics look perfect. Definitely going back. The place is clean, new equipment and friendly costumer service. Great acrylics read more

Pink Nails - Great acrylics. Love their nail polish selection. - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This nail salon is the best I have tried in South Pasadena yet! They recently opened and are offering a 20% discount off your visit. This salon has the best customer service and is the most sanitary nail salon I have ever been to! I noticed that they use a brand new file and buffer for each client. They sanitize all their equipment after each client also. They have a plethora of gel/normal colors you can choose from; they even offer "rockstar" nails (glitter). The ladies and man were very friendly and efficient. I am very happy with the treatment and finished product of my nails. I will definitely be back! read more

Finding a good nail salon for a decent price these days is a tough task. I literally spent about an hour on yelp looking for a nail salon. I usually have such bad luck when i get any type of acrylic done anywhere. I've gone to so many places that if nail salons had rewards programs i would have a bunch of points from all the places I've been to! This place is just amazing. I'm not giving it 5 stars for just one reason. Although i didn't mind waiting, I had made my appointment for 5:30pm and didn't get started until around 6pm. In the middle of my nails, the lady got up to do some ladies eyebrow and lip wax, which took about 15 mins. This caused my friend and i to not leave the nail place until 7:30pm. Other than that, this place was great. They had a wide selection of get colors that had my friend and i going over the same colors twice because we couldn't decide which ones we wanted. The lady who did my nails I believe was the boss, and she was just absolutely stellar. She was nice and prompt and actually took her time to do my nails. I showed her the shape i wanted and she told me the price which in my head was a bit pricey but i decided to stay because i was so desperate to have my nails done. I decided to go for a more round/almond shape which i have never done before (i normally do the square/round shape) and i actually liked how she did it. The acrylic application was great. it wasn't clumpy at all, looks completely natural and that's what i like for my nails. I also did gel and that came out great. Not clumpy or fat looking! It was like this lady fell from nail heaven and understood my inner thoughts of me and how i wanted my nails! Can you tell i'm picky?! LOL! It was great & i only paid $45 with tip. It was great and I think i'm going to make this place my nail place for as long as they do a good job with my nails! Thank you! :) read more

Pink Nails - Absolutely love my nails! Different but great! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This use to be my favorite spot. BUT for the last few times, my gel nail doesnt even last a week. I'm really disappointing. :( This place is a bit pricey which it was ok before because they did an awesome job. But lately, i don't know if they changed the brand of the Gel or something. it is just not worth it anymore :(. there are other places that does the same job for a better price. I do hope they go back to the way before. I do miss this place a lot. :( read more

Everyone in there are very nice & the best part is they do a great job. Very clean & instrument are sterilized. Can not ask for more.

Owner is professional and I love that they use new files, buffers, etc every time you go here. If you ask they even give to you to bring home since they just throw it out anyways. Great selection of colors. read more

Its my favorite spot the have my pedi done in Pasadena/Alhambra area. Very clean, great service( bottle of water every time), variety of colors! Highly recommend it! read more

I stopped by Pink Nails since they were giving a 20% discount for being a newly open store and I'm so glad I decided to try this place out. I got a gel manicure from Molly, and she did such a wonderful job. My nails came out very natural looking, just the way I like them. They also have an extensive collection of gel polish so you have many choices to choose from. They autoclave their supplies and the environment is clean and spacious. Normally gel manicures are $30, so I paid $24 with the discount. They gained a new customer and I definitely will be coming back. read more

Pink Nails - Gel manicure in OPI #016. Perfect summertime color. - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

very nice and kind workers there. they really try to get to know you and remember your name. it was pretty empty inside so theres was no wait. my nails were excellent. they also wore gloves and the inside was very clean. read more

They do a nice job here, especially with gel. They are good with sanitation practices as well. I've been able to just walk right in without an appointment a couple times. My only issue is that the final price is always $20-$30 more than I expect based on their price sheet, without a satisfactory explanation. This last time I even skipped any kind of add-ons such as decorations on the nails, picked one of the mani/pedi combos off of the 'menu' (they offer several tiers of mani/pedi with different things such as callus removal or massage etc. and each one has a set price), got gel on hands only, regular polish on feet, and still the total was way more than I expected, and they don't itemize it to explain why. I was supposed to get the $45 mani/pedi, plus gel on fingers only, and it came out to $80. It has started to feel like they just randomly charge whatever they feel like that day. read more

Been here a couple of times. My last mani/pedi was mediocre. However I will not ever go back. The lady who runs the place has no filter and not very welcoming- and you'll believe it when you see it if you decide to spend your money here. I know a handful of people who have stopped coming here for this reason. It's pretty sad. read more

This place has really great service, quality work, and a very clean and relaxing atmosphere. My nail tech did such a good job and she was so patient with my indecisiveness when it came to choosing a hair, I'm just sorry I forgot to get her name. Overall a great experience for an awesome price! read more

Very clean and nice but pricy! Manicure and pedicure I paid 65 dollars both gel colors! They do last alittle longer the gel colors! read more

Pink Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

The woman who helped me Was the owner/manager and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to and when she was doing my nails she kept getting up to leave and do other things. it still took over an hour and ten minutes to get my acrylics done and they are very short stiletto nails without any jewels or anything extra. Then while she was buffing my nails she cut two of my fingers and now I have a very visible gash in one. It hurts and I'm scared it's going to get infected. She didn't make me feel like I could tell her my finger hurt because of her unfriendliness and the fact that she was preoccupied the entire time she did my nails. The physical nails are ok in shape and color and structure but I have gone to cheaper places in worse areas and payed much less for good costumer service and better quality nails and NEVER had anyone end up cutting my finger so I bled. read more

Yesterday was my first time at Pink Nails and I had a great experience! I got acrylics and a pedicure. Molly did my acrylics and was very meticulous about the shaping, and it shows! I can honestly say these are the best acrylics I have received yet. I hate when you get a nail or two shaped awkwardly and then you have to notice it for a whole month.. luckily I don't have to anymore. I also had a great pedicure, but i didn't get the woman's name who did it! The appointment took over an hour, but I was happy with that. You have more time to relax and quality takes more time, so it was appreciated on my end. Thanks Molly! read more

We've been coming here for two years now and love the fact that this nail salon is super clean. The deluxe pedicure is our favorite service, love the massage chairs and everyone is really nice. read more

Molly the owner is very professional and courteous. My nails always come out looking polished and I also like that the salon is very clean and sanitized as well. Thank you! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I have been a loyal customer since they've opened. My friends and my family also frequented this spot and I have recommended it. I'm not sure what's going on with the OWNER but the past few times me and my family/friends have went in we have been treated SO DISRESPECTFULLY by her! (even if you make an appointment, which I do every time- she will act like you don't have one) and argue with you about it. read more

I had an appt. for a facial on Tuesday. My skin felt great so I came back for a manicure- just a nail trim and polish. The woman never introduced herself or asked my name. 2 fingers needed to be fixed. Rather than redoing the nail, she slapped a fast coat over the mess while I was standing up. Three days later my nails look horrible, see the pictures. A waste of money- the owner Molly gave me a discount but made it clear I should have paid full price. read more

Never again will I go to this place. Not only did my gel polish chip threw days after getting them done, but they also refused to accommodate me in their "busy" schedule to correct their mistake. Beware people! read more

Pink Nails - Three days after getting them done. Ridiculous!! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Went here for the first time to try it out after hearing good feedback. First off, the service is not great. They women who greeted me ( I think was the owner) was very snappy towards me asking about the price of a gel manicure ($30) and they don't even list the prices of their services which is not professional. She then told me that a design is $1 per finger (even for basic ombré) which would have put me out $40!!! And if you want glitter it's like $8 a pop. Anything I asked for they just kept shooting out numbers which was ridiculous. Overall the gel manicure was nice and she took the time to at least do well but I was less than pleased about their attitude towards customers money. I understand they run a business and it costs what it costs but they came off too eager to charge and the prices for designs were high. read more

Not the friendliest not the best. Been once before for a pedicure and it was basic, nothing special or great. I came a second time for another pedicure and was ignored upon entering then was told to come back another time since they were so busy. It just feels like you're another number. I just moved to South Pasadena and I miss my place so if anyone has any suggestions let me know! read more

AMAZING! My normal place and backup place were all booked up, so I came here and was very pleasantly surprised. Not only is it next to one of my favorite restaurants, Nori Sushi Wraps (highly recommend coming here before or after your appointment), but the service was excellent, and my nails look great! I came in without an appointment about an hour and a half before closing and they set me up with a full set and a gel manicure for my mom. Mary and Tim were really friendly. Definitely coming back here again :) read more

I try to get my "maintenance" done every two weeks, but sometimes it's hard to take time out of my week to do so. I LOVE this salon, because their Mani/Pedis last such a long time, which is crucial for me since I'm always so busy. They have all the latest designs, glitters, colors, etc. They do a great and thorough job every single time. They are a little bit more expensive than what I'm used to, but it's worth it. read more
