Lv Nails

This place can do any nail design and the quality of work is Excellent. Place is a little run down, but for the price this shop is awesome.

This place is not too clean, the staff are not too friendly. The only reason I go is because the lady Kim does eyebrows SOOO good. If you’re going to get your brows done ask for Kim. The last time one of the other lady’s did my eyebrows and messed them up one was thicker than the other. Would only recommend this place to get your brows done to be honest

Best designs, fast service, friendly staff, pretty clean — my only complaint is that my toenail was broken & I asked my technician to either do an acrylic overlay, glue it, or cut it short during my pedicure — she did none & just painted over it. My polish of course chipped as a result the next day. Otherwise, great experience. My fullset was amazing.

The staff is very rude and judgemental. I didn’t appreciate being looked up and down by the staff and when I tried to ask the lady at the table near the door how long the wait was, she rolled her eyes and drank her water like I was bothering her and she was better than me. There are plenty of other places to get my nails done, I don’t need to be disrespected.

I have no idea how this nail salon has 4 stars. They are unsanitary! They use the same foot scrubs and files on every client which is agains California state law! I even witnessed one of the ladies use the same tools she had just used with her last client. Talk about dirty! Even the place looks dirty as soon as you walk in. They may do nice nails but they certainly don’t know how to be clean and follow California Health laws. I don’t understand how people can go to such a dirty place.

The WORST service I have ever experienced in my life & I’ve given this business many chances but the customer service is just the worst! Me and my mom would always come in to do our eyebrows & at first it was good but after a while then the lady who seems to be in charge would give us attitude every time we would go in when we would ask for her to do our eyebrows. After the second time my mom had enough and decided to never go there again.
I tried to over look her nasty attitude & continue to provide my service but after today I had enough. I just left there after trying to get my eyebrows waxed. When I got there only a mother & her daughter were waiting to get there nails done, after 2 minutes of waiting they called her daughter to start on her nails then the owner finished doing another clients nails & called the girls mother to sit at her station & I waited thinking she’s just going to get her to the table and call me to do my eyebrows WRONG she sat there & waited till the lady picked her color she looked over at me &made eye contact after I specifically asked her if she could do my eyebrows rite when I got there & got started on her nails. Then reached for a remote to turn on a TV that was rite over my head.
Words can’t even explain how disappointed I am in this costumer service. Most places I’ve gone to wait till they have a break where they can pause the nail process & take in the customers who went for eyebrows. The least she could have done is said she couldn’t do eyebrows today or came up with a reason not to do it rather then have me wait and waist my time that I could have given to a business who appreciates my service.
I learned of this place through a friend & gave it a shot then took a few of my friends & they took there friends but I will make sure this terrible business doesn’t receive business of mine or anyone I know. Terrible customers service is a big deal to me I don’t have time to be waisting on a business that’s on a high horse and do sent appreciate the service.

I honestly don’t know how this place has 4 stars. This place is awful and not sanitary at all! It looks likre everything inside is falling apart! I went in because a friend recommended it so i decided to give it a try. I went in for a fill and pedi. The lady that did my nails messed them up so much I was almost in tears! My nails looked like bubbles, they were so thick and round and ugly! She got so upset when I asked her to fix them that she was doing it fast and cut me several times. She couldn’t even shape my nails. The manager stepped in to try to shape them and she hurt me even more! They do ask you to pay half way through the process so I did, not knowing how horrible my nails were going to look! So when she finally finished my nails were gross, super thick and each had its own shape! I asked the manager for my money back and she refused to give it back to me because that stupid lady had already spent 45 minutes with me! She wouldn’t have if she would have done her job right the first time! Needless to say, I to say i got home and took the nails off.
The pedi was horrible too, like other reviews say, they dont know how to scrub and the massage part, yeah their idea of massage is to rub lotion on your legs and thats it. To top it off, I ended up with some kind of foot fungus! This place is disgusting and I do not recommend it and I will never go back there! Be careful if you decide to go, don’t say you weren’t warned.

I’ve been coming to LV for a couple of months now, I must say it’s very convenient for people who live in Pasadena. They do an amazing job in reference to full sets and fills aswell as their DESIGNS are on point. The only down SIDE and reason for not giving them a 5 star is because as far as the toes go I suggest looking somewhere else. I came in last month and the lady doing my toes did such a horrible job. My toenails were uneven and I bet I could have done it better myself. Other than that this place is great Yeah It can be a little bit ghetto, but most people who do come in here leave satisfied. Oh and as far as paying they do ask you to pay in advance. Not too much of an inconvenience pretty fast just to pay them and then they get right back into finishing your nails.

I’ve been coming here for many years. Everyone loves Kim, but I don’t care for her really. I prefer Cindy who always does a great job and can do designs I find online that I like. She will do extra little things like add some glitter here or suggest a color. Only time that I was not happy was when a new lady started working there. But Kim fixed it and it was OK after. I’ve tried other places but I prefer lv because the prices and the designs they do. It may be loud, old school, «ghetto» or what have you, but the work they do is worth it.

I was hoping to like the place, but wasn’t very impressed with my pedi. Don’t get me wrong the lady who did it was very sweet, but when i came to scrubbing my feet all she scrubbed was my heel leaving my toes flaky. Maybe the 2^nd time should be better? I mean its look like a whole in the wall nail salon so what should i expect?
$ 12 for regular pedi, not bad

I have been coming her for many years. The other day I thought to myself «let me just try a nail place closer to work for convenience.» I ended up right back here again asking KIM to fix the terrible job done somewhere else and, of course, I love my nails. Ghetto or not, KIM can do some nails!

Been going to this salon for a mani & pedi once in a while for years since it is so convenient and close to my home. I have never made an appointment. They always take me quickly as a walk-​in even though they’re usually crowded. I was out of town & decided to try a gel manicure & loved it since the polish lasts for 2 – 3 weeks! Second time I went to another local salon & gel mani polish was very uneven & started chipping on day 2. Decided to try LV today as a walk-​in on a Saturday at 11am & despite several clients waiting, they took me within a few minutes. I was quoted $ 23 for a gel mani & $ 12 for a regular pedi. TOTAL ONLY $ 35. Gel mani & pedi both look GREAT & I am A VERY HAPPY customer.

I love my nails everytime… not left one time not a happy customer :)no appointment ever taken but never waited too long

The place is super hood. You have to pay ½ way thru your service, and they will only accept up to $ 40 on atm/​credit card.
The clientele is ghetto, the staff is loud, quality of service itself is good, nails on fleek, prices are ok. But for the same price, you could probably go somewhere a little nicer.
I usually get a basic gel mani and gel pedi, which runs about $ 50. I never carry cash… it’s almost 2015 it’s practically not necessary. So, having to get cash out to get my nails done is pretty annoying. It’s just more convenient to go somewhere that I can pay by card, and is quieter. The woman next to me was yelling at her child the entire time she was getting her nails done, it was so obnoxious –and kind of funny, lol!
All in all, this is more of a local/​neighborhood nail shop. Not a place to go out of your way for, but is perfect if you lived in the neighborhood and were pressed for time (and funds).

Really love my nails! Yes, they make you pay half way through your service but no big deal. You get what you pay for and they do a really good job! It’s $ 5 extra to remove gel/​acrylic. Certainly going to come back!

I’ve lived in Pasadena for almost 2 years and I have been to a few different nail places here. Wow! This place is GREAT. I have definitely found my new «go-​to» nail place. They have over 150 nail designs to choose from and over 200 gel colors! Regular Full set is $ 20 and nail designs are $ 5. You can’t beat $ 12 pedicures either! Seriously.
I walked in with a Pinterest nail design and Kim did a fantastic job!

I went here about 3wks ago and got a pedi with design. I showed her the pic of what i wanted and she said it could be done. All said and done it looked nothing like the pic, but it still came out cute. It ended up being her own design. next time Ill just stick with something simple and easy.

I love this place! I have been going for years! Like any place for any picky person, like my self, you will find people you love and people you hate!
For fills and designs, see the owner. She is the one right by the door and usually the one to greet you, if she is sitting at her station. If there is not a wait, tell her you want her to do your hands! If there is a wait, which there usually is so go on a down time for nail salons, than the young girl that sits across from her is fabulous as well! Her fills are top notch but here designs are not as good as the owner. With that being said, they are still better than anyplace you will ever go! ;)
Pedicures are old school. No fancy massage chair, just old fashioned pedicures! Tell them what you want because I love that they don’t ask and bug me for up-​sales!
The place is not the cleanest in the world, but in 4 years, I have never gotten an infection or herd of anyone else getting one!
Because of the area, they make you pay in advance! I don’t mind because if you don’t like it, they are happy to fix it, without talking smack in a langue you can’t understand! :)
Over all, for $ 11 fill and $ 12 pedicure, this place can’t be beat!

Great prices…$ 28 for a full set and pedi. Service was fast and had $ 1 sandals available for forgetful people like me.
I was happy with the quality of both mani and pedi but was a bit disappointed they couldn’t do the design I wanted… I wanted a blending of two colors. The nail polish on my toes only lasted 2 days which was not good! The selection of quality nail polish is extremely limited.

I’ve been coming to this place for over a year and I’m a huge fan. It’s totally ghetto and not that nice on the inside. However, I like that they use the old-​fashioned system of bags in the tubs for my pedi — I think that is WAY more sanitary than those big spa chairs where the water is drained but nothing is ever washed and everyone who sits there gets the same tub that has not been cleaned out!
Their prices are great ($ 11 for a pedi) and usually I can get in and out quickly. This last Saturday they were slammed.
Also — the design options they have are amazing!
