The Basic Nail Shoppe - Pasadena (CA)

Las Primas De Leon I love coming to Sam. She has years of experience. I bring my friends and family to get our nails done with her. Sam and Tina are super kind and perfectionist at their work. I know Sam for years and love her new shop. It’s so clean, minimalist and so chic. She’s the best at making sure you’re satisfied. If you love nails with art, come here. I definitely recommend come by to her new shop :)

c hernandez Mary is so incredibly talented!!! She has cut and styled my hair for years and always makes me look like a million bucks. She also gives the most amazing pumpkin extract facials. While the mask is setting she even massages my arms and hands. She always goes the extra mile and ensures that you go away feeling you have had an amazing spa day!

Jennie Nguyen Had a great experience today. Their receptionist was very kind and friendly upon meeting. Initially booked an appointment online for a gel manicure, but changed it to a pedicure in-person, which was no problem. Lucy, my nail tech, was so gentle and checked in with me multiple steps of the way to ensure everything was going ok. They also had complimentary beverages. The environment was very relaxing. I will definitely be making this place my regular nail salon from now on!

Rosezetta Upshaw This was probably the best manicure I’ve ever had. So perfect and shiny and so GENTLE! I came 3-4 times before writing a review. I had a different person each time. Everyone was really good. Amy is the best! There are 2 Amys lol Ask for Amy with the short hair. She is very sweet and friendly and an absolute perfectionist and so very gentle with removing the powder dip and filing my nails. Thank you Amy! I also love that they have self-serve water bottles and snacks bags (doritos, nutter butter, etc) in the front. I rarely eat junk food but I still think it’s a nice touch. Maybe add a little trail mix for me. :) This place is recently under new ownership. I stopped coming years ago when the previous owners ran it due to a nail tech having a bad attitude. These new owners are doing a great job and I’m happy I can write them a glowing review. The prices are reasonable. $50 powder dip. $28 pedicure. I got the $40 upgraded pedicure and I appreciate that it did come with a lot of extras: scrub, cream, hot stone massage , hot towel wrap, etc. to make it significantly different than the basic pedicure.

Jessica Mendez Great French manicure by the lovely ladies! Reasonable prices and very accommodating. Should definitely check them out!

Jayda Lobban check out Alice if you want great work for a fair price! She takes her time, so be prepared to be in the chair for over an hour. Personally I don’t mind because she’s thorough and a perfectionist. These are my natural nails with hard gel overlay. Cleanest hard gel application I’ve ever had done. I asked for Russian manicure and my cuticles have never looked better. She uses good quality polishes, she’s sweet and takes pride in her work. I’m so happy I found her!

Keila Vizcarra I really like coming here for my “self-care” day. I usually get a pedicure with a foot massage. I’ve never had a bad experience here, everyone is so nice, and the prices are fair. This place is also very clean which is important to me. Definitely recommend coming here.

Jo Simms In the Electric Car charging area next to Holiday Inn. Very kind staff - pre-booked an appt at 6pm for mani/pedi... charged me $55 for what most charge for one or the other! Cant get gel or other be cause my nails are too thin. B+ rating!!

Chrissy Carr Tracy did a great job on my nails and I appreciate them squeezing me in today. Very clean and nice atmosphere. I actually had fun which is not my usual experience at salons. Ill definitely be back

F C KIM was so meticulous/professional (She takes much care in her craft)and spent more than 2 hours on my nails and toes just clipping. (No mani/pedi for 5+ years) first time client with her and she was her own phenom. Gina the owner is also very charismatic as well as 35+ years of experience. Caring environment, quaint similar to Solvang, CA.
