Pink Nails

I have been a patron of Pink Nails twice now, and both times have brought two different friends with me for mani-​pedis. This has immediately become my favorite nail salon of all time.
I have had quite the experience with other nail salons – negative ones, that is. I’ve had people cut open my fingers til they bleed, nail polish chip within a day, and so on so forth (and it isn’t me; I promise!) These are supposedly higher end salons, too! Needless to say, I’m always less than satisfied with the quality, and frequently leave feeling upset (which…who wants to feel upset when the point is to feel relaxed and pampered?)
Fast forward to me finding Pink Nails. The owner of the shop is the sweetest lady who cares about all of her customers. My mani pedi was such a relaxing, awesome experience that I left feeling like a queen! The nail polish lasted 1 – 2 weeks each time (REGULAR, not gel… amazing!) and little things like hot lotion arm massages, massage chairs, and bottles of ice cold water sure make me feel amazing.
It’s about $ 30 for a mani pedi, and be sure to bring cash for tipping. Parking is easy, but make an appointment ahead of time because they get REALLY busy (and I love that they don’t take more customers than they can handle!) Five stars all the way!

Don’t go anywhere else in South Pasadena for your nails. The owner is a sweet, friendly woman who often times greets you upon arrival. This salon is brand new, extremely clean, and decorated well. They give excellent gel mani pedis, as well as thorough waxing. Also, they never miss any of your nail when polishing like many places do, and they’re patient when you mess a nail up before it dries like me, haha. The best part is, they have the cheapest gel mani pedis in the city. It is easily the best Nail Salon in South Pasadena.

Very happy with my experience here. The salon is pretty new and seems clean and sanitary. Molly (the owner) did my rockstar gel mani and another technician did my regular pedi (my total was $ 58 before tips). Both ladies were thorough and did a great job. I especially appreciate that they paid attention to my cuticles and shaped my nails nicely. I would recommend making an appt. before coming in. The one thing I think the shop could improve on is color selection for both regular polish and gels. I would definitely come back again. I’ll try to update my review in a couple weeks to see how the gel holds up (bonus: they guarantee gel manis for 10 days).
Update ⁶⁄₂₀: 2 days shy of 3 weeks and today was the first day I noticed lifting on 2 of the nails. Other than that, they still look perfect. Great lasting power!

Like any other girl, I’ve been to a lot of different nail salons and I really like this one. I usually get a full set or fills and Molly and Tim are amazing. I usually don’t like it when guys do my nails, because it always goes wrong… but Tim is great! They are very gentle with you and they handle your hands/​nails with lots of care. The shape always comes out perfect. The pricing is probably $ 2-​$ 5 more than average nail salons. I got a new set for $ 35.
–1 star for lack of colors, but they have tons of gel colors.
* tip, try to make an appointment because they get busy! If you walk in, they’ll probably turn you down or ask you to come back.

Great spot! Tried a few spots in Pasadena before I found this nail salon. Amazing job on my gel mani and regular pedicure. The girls are very sweet and attentive. Professional job all around. I will definitely be going back here.

I wish I could give negative stars. I work around here and thought I’d give it a try. big mistake. I came in on Friday 4÷29÷16 and I can’t remember the lady’s name who did my manicure. she was nice and did a good job on the gel part of my nails. the shape of the nails are all very different, but I didn’t want to be one of those jerks that nitpicks while she’s doing her job. so I let it be. the next day my fingers were incredibly sensitive under hot water and they started peeling on my actual finger. I gave it a chance thinking it would get better as days passed. I noticed I had a cut on my middle finger and two cuts on my pinky. as the days passed my fingers peeled more and more. it’s embarrassing and I’ve never had this happen EVER. I went in today to show the owner and she laughed in my face and said the woman who did my manicure would never do that. IM SHOWING YOU MY HANDS and they’re not supposed to peel like this. the lady cut my cuticle so much that my fingers just peeled. the worst customer service from the owner «Molly» I will be calling state board. good luck to anyone who decides to go here.

I’ve gone there twice. First time my pedicure was horrible and, even though I made an appointment, the owner told me I would have to come back for my eyebrow waxing because he was understaffed.
Second time I went just because Le’s in Highland Park was overbooked. I walked in for a mani/​pedi. Again, understaffed. One of the women waited, with feet soaking in cold water, for a pedicure for god knows how long before finally just walking out. The girl doing my manicure kept getting annoyed if I moved an inch.
So, yeah, if you want to pay $ 40 for a lazily done mani/​pedi by a young girl who acts like she is doing YOU the favor and a salon that is continuously understaffed then, yes, by all means go here.
If not, try Le’s. It might not be as new & pretty, but they do a great job for less money.

I LOVE THIS NAIL SHOP. I come here faithfully to get my acrylics or just a plain gel manicure. Lately I’ve been loving my rockstar glitter gel with my acrylics. I get tons of compliments! Thanks Molly! I highly recommend this place you won’t be disappointed I promise! In the video it says MILKY! I meant MOLLY lol sorry

My girl left at another nail salon in South Pas so I had to find another place to get my acrylics filled. Read positive reviews about Pink Nail Salon so I thought I’d give them a try. Molly, took care of me in a courteous and professional manner. She works fast and has obvious longtime exprience. I needed a pedicure but wanted to see how the fill went first. I ended up deciding to get the pedicure with Vivian who was sweet and did a decent job. The place was large and clean and had a calming atmosphere. I liked the large massage chairs and tv viewing while you wait. I have not had a chance to see Molly or her husband in action on a full set of acrylics yet, so I will update my review when I do as that will be the ultimate test. But for now, I am happy and planning to go back.
UPDATE: Apparently I must have caught the owner on a good day the first time around. 4 stars to 1. Not returning. :-(

Molly worked on my nails today and she did a great job. Molly is so popular that she does try to push you off on to a staffer who is not working on anyone.
If you book yourself with a client you should honor the appointment.
I would return but I would choose to schedule during a less busier time. I felt like Molly was rushing which made the experience uncomfortable for this client.
Molly really should have the staff that are sitting around to help answer the phone.
I would return again.

This is by far one of the best nail places I’ve been too. Your nails don’t lift and the price is worth it. Please make sure you let then know what shape you want don’t assume. Make an appointment woth Molly she is the person to see. Overall this place is very clean.

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).

Love this place!
I was previously loyal for years to Nail Lounge across the street in the Bristol Farms shopping center since they first opened. They just became too busy and as a regular customer would ask me to come back if they were busy, knowing I always would. Well, I needed a manicure before an important meeting and gave Pink Nails a try. Well, I am so happy I did!
I am picky. I am judgmental towards nail salons and their choices of music and loud t.v.‘s, cleanliness, nail color selections and customer service. This place is 5 stars!
Time and care are given during my gel manicures. No thick gel, rough ridges, just perfect nails that really do last 2 weeks. Great hand massage, warm lotion and towels and a relaxing, clean shop with cheerful staff.
Tim is the best.

I love this place. I’m going to be bringing my mom also.
Very clean and detailed work.

This place stands out from the rest because it’s big and inviting, and the staff aren’t sitting around playing on their phones or gossiping. Plus, they’re open at a decent time on Sunday mornings (10 AM) and very accommodating.
I came here for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. I told them I needed to be out within an hour as I had another appointment and they were able to do a good job within that time frame. The price is affordable (my total was about $ 50 total, not including tip).
I had to come back shortly that afternoon as I smudged my toes, and despite being busy, they catered to me really quickly. It was all done within a few minutes and I was on my way again.
I’ll definitely be coming back again. Fantastic staff, clean facilities, great nail job, and affordable pricing. A win in my book.

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.

Finding a good nail salon for a decent price these days is a tough task. I literally spent about an hour on Unilocal 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! :)

Very kind and considerate staff whose work is neat and thorough (and ultimately very pretty!)
I called in around 1pm on a Wednesday for a gel pedicure and they took me right away. The woman who prepped and trimmed my nails was gentle and did everything I requested painlessly and perfectly, along with a great timed leg and foot massage (Deluxe = $ 30). The massage chairs are clean, comfy, and look new. Before moving on to the pedicure, they made sure I understood the prices I was adding ($ 15 extra for gels and $ 5 for French, all perfectly reasonable, but so glad they took the time to make a customer aware of charges. Refreshing and appreciated!)
I was assured the gels would last about a month, which I’m super psyched about. Thanks, ladies @ Pink Nails. I will definitely be back.

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!

At long last, I have found a clean, affordable nail place close to my house. Pink nail is not only great at doing nails and pampering their clients but it is super clean. They also use disposable files and buffers. (I wish all nail places would practice this).
Molly is a perfectionist when it comes to nails. She will file and buff until she gets them all nice and even. She cuts cuticles perfectly and applies polish evenly.
The nail polish selection is really good here and I really like how they offer you a bottle of water and wipe off the excess lotion with a heated towel. Small gestures like these are really appreciated.
My nails have lasted over two weeks without a single chip. Thank you Molly!
