5 /5 Michelle K: Wanted to quickly start with the fact that this nail salon just reopened a few weeks ago under new ownership and is associated with Aria 2 in Pasadena - older reviews from months / years ago are out of date and for the last salon. I’ve been a customer of Aria in Pasadena for some time now, and my favorite nail tech for dip powder manicures, Helen, moved to this location - I’m very picky, and couldn’t let her go, because she’s amazing (side note: I’ve tried a number of salons in the area and couldn’t find someone who could consistently shape and polish my nails like Helen does). I tried out this new location today - it’s super clean and bright, in a great spot in South Pas close to the shops and dining options. They offer drinks and Kelly at the front desk was very welcoming and friendly, as always. Kelly also moved from Aria 2, and I’ve seen her excellent customer service skills in motion firsthand on a number of occasions. She has done my pedicure more than once - she is precise with nail prep, it never feels rushed, and my toes are consistently beautifully painted. The owner was also in the salon today interacting with customers and providing fun snacks. Highly recommend giving this salon a shot - they offer discounts throughout the year, and it’s a hard place to beat when it comes to the quality of service, friendly staff, and overall atmosphere. Note: I’m sharing a few pictures from several manicures with Helen since I can’t figure out how to add a new review for other visits.
