I visited Y2K Nails hoping for a nice gel mani before vacation. Nina was friendly, but the experience wasn't ideal. I chose the salon based on sample images that showed attention to detail and clean design work, but that wasn't the case for me. I asked for a short almond shape, but was told my nails were too short, so we went with round. The shaping ended up rough and uneven, with little effort to match both hands. The nail prep also wasn't great. My cuticles look very dry, there's polish on my skin, and the edges aren't clean. The polka dots aren't consistent -- they vary in size, spacing, and some are even missing. I know nail art can be challenging, but she was doing them so quickly and immediately after asking me to check, she was already talking under her breath, so I felt uncomfortable after asking her to fix a few. Overall, it was an okay experience. But, I won't be returning or recommending the salon. read more

I've been going here for awhile now for pedicures. Great service and always very fast responsive when making appointments! Past few times Tifany and Mina helped me. Great work. Definitely coming back soon as well! They also have a summer happy hour sale going on too for weekday afternoons! Interior is great and clean. The parking lot is a bit small though. So maybe have to find street parking. read more

Jasmine was able to schedule me last minute today on the 4th of July. Super Plus for fitting me in on a holiday. Came in and the shop is super clean and relaxing. I came in for a gel manicure and regular pedicure and Jasmine spent so much time and detail on cleaning up my old gel manicure and making it look amazing. I will definitely be back and will schedule Jasmine again for my gel manicure and pedicure. On the next visit will ask Jasmine to do the nail art with my manicure. read more

It was my first time at this nail salon and I have to say I had an amazing experience. I have been chatting with Kim prior to my appointment about the type of nail designs I wanted to do. She exceeded my expectations and killed my nails. I've never gotten any major design work so I was shocked when she gave me exactly what I showed her. I will definitely be returning for another design set. I highly recommend this place. And the salon is so cute! read more

Update: I saw the response from the business owner and it's typical to not take accountability. The chair I was sitting on did not recline nor did the massage function work there were a few red flags at the beginning that i overlooked because I'm pretty easy going..which trust me i won't do again. Next, as a wax technician would her training not dictate that she should wait until I'm not being vigorously massaged to wax my eyebrows which should be done when the customer is sitting still? Why didn't she wait till she could get me in a chair that reclined so she could get a good view of my face. I told her 6 times about the shape and did not care... simple. She did not offer to fix my brows it was basically oh well deal with it. Yes I was offered to not pay for my brows but what is removing money going to do to my butchered brows? And then I have to sit there and argue back and forth about money again I came in for a relaxing service after a hard day. Between being sad and disappointed the only thing I wanted to do was leave. I've also updated pics I came to this place because it was next to the Thai restaurant I had lunch at. I was so tired and hoped i would have a decent nail experience, i wasn't hoping for anything fancy, just a solid pedicure, polish and eyebrow wax. The pedicure was solid but my polish is lumpy and my cuticles are flooded. I can tell these nails will peel in a few days. Next, my eyebrows she was so impatient to wait till i was done with my pedicure and started waxing while i was getting a foot massage so of course my eyebrows are uneven, droopy and have no shape at all. She didn't apologize or try to fix them she just simply went on to her next customer. I don't even think she cared if the shape matched my face she just wanted to get the task done. I still payed and tipped but I would not go there again with so many options of places to go to. I guess i blamed my self for continuing to go to these chop shops hoping for good results. read more

i called at around 2:40pm for a 3:30pm appt for mani (gel) and pedi (basic) for one person. we got to the shop 3:35pm bc it started raining, still our bad. my partner told me after that she felt like her services were rushed :/ it's a bit frustrating to hear bc i could indeed confirmed the services were rushed since i heard the tech saying it in Vietnamese, how she wants to close up and leave already, while she was doing my partner's pedicure. i didnt say anything obviously, as long as the service is done well (it wasnt the best) all we have to say is, next time just say "no, we're booked" we'd happily book the next day or something. we'd rather receive a service we deserve than a rushed one read more

Thank you for your response. I would like to clarify a few points from my perspective. Yes, the appointment was booked with Jasmine for a manicure. However, my concern was not simply about technician assignment, but about how the situation was handled once I arrived. Being 10 minutes late without any apology or acknowledgment set the tone for the visit. When I requested to have one technician for both services, my request was polite and based on consistency of work, not refusal of service. What was most uncomfortable for me was the irritated tone used in response, rather than the policy itself. Policies can be explained professionally; attitude cannot be excused by policy. Regarding the pedicure, my concern was not about age or language, but about safety and attentiveness, as the technician appeared to be repeatedly nodding off during the service. This understandably made me uncomfortable as a client. Lastly, while technicians are free to communicate after completing services, laughing and using phones in front of the only customer present did not feel professional or respectful. My review reflects my personal experience, not a misunderstanding. I respect that businesses have policies, and customers also have the right to share honest feedback about how those policies are communicated and how they are treated. read more

Just got my nails done today by Kristy and I am so impressed. She didn't judge me for my wonky looking DIY gel x nails that I walked in with and she also didn't judge me for wanting my extra short gel x nails cut down even shorter--lots of nail techs I've had in the past have been reluctant to do a super short nail, but I know what I want and Kristy delivered. She also paid careful attention to my cuticles because I mentioned that I needed some serious care there and just in general she was a perfectionist which is what you want in someone giving you a manicure. Now my hands look unrecognizably cute so I will definitely be back. Also in general, the salon is decorated in such a cutesy, girly way that I loved and they're a new business in Pasadena so come support! I recommend making an appointment in advance. read more

It was my first time coming after a friend recommended it to me and I had such a great experience!
