Lee’s Nail & Spa - Pasadena (CA)

1 /5 Lusine: The place is filled with inexperienced "nail technicians" that have no idea what they are doing. Owner has a big attitude problem, as well. Went to get hard gel removed. Not only did they burn my skin by applying a ton of acetone every 5 minutes, but they didnt even take it all off. I also got cut. Avoid coming here. So not worth it, AT ALL. *UPDATE* In response to the rude business owner, I have eczema. You guys initially wanted to put both of my hands in a plastic bag filled with acetone and wrap it in a hot towel. Why would you soak my skin in acetone in the first place? I came for hard gel removal not my skin to be burnt off. Your employee kept sticking my fingers in acetone for over a whole hour, as well. Barely any drilling done which is the most important part of removing hard gel. Take the energy with that attitude of yours and put that in training your employees to do their jobs correctly. Worst salon by far in Pasadena. Maybe even California at that. Also, here are some “lovely” images of what the result was for my “gel removal” - horrible job. Thanks for making me bleed as well.

2 /5 marcia kostos: This business was recently sold. Used to be TK Nails. Tammy was the owner and it was a great salon. Been going there for 25 years. Now has new owner and I won’t go back. English is definitely second language. Had a mani pedi. I was told my bill was $48, I paid, and as I’m walking out the door all the gals are yelling stop…wait…. Then told I owed $10 more dollars. I didn’t bother questioning it as no one would comprehend anyway, so I just paid the extra. Not worth the effort to me.although super convenient, I’ll find somewhere else. The whole salon just isn’t up to par with the former establishment in my opinion.

1 /5 Pamela Huley: The nail tech cleans under the toe nails and wipes the crud from the tool on your surrounding skin…Ugh! And didn’t acknowledge the price differences posted on website and charged higher on a postcard in the salon. Good polish skills though.

1 /5 James Grey: Bad service especially the woman who did the pedicure. Bait and switch. Posted prices for manicure and pedicure $50. I paid $85. I’ll never go back

1 /5 Amber Waas: Its so sad how the quality fell so very far with the new ownership. I have been going here for 20 years, but I have had three bad expierences in a row. One the bruised my face waxing eyebrows, second, my gel pedicure they put regular clear coat on top and had to redo the entire paint job, and sadly yesterday I left in the middle of my pedicure. The woman kept cutting me with the cuticle clippers and it was so painful I had to leave. I have given enough chances. I am now sadly never going back.
