Nancy Manicurist

This is a review long due. Jenny (and Nancy) are by far the best manicurist I’ve ever known. I’ve been going here consistently for 2 years now, and I had moved away from Pasadena for about 2 months now but I still go back to them despite the distance. Jenny is meticulous and she cares more about perfection than I do. Love them and how I wish they are closer to me

Nancy is absolutely awesome. I honestly have never been happier with a set of acrylic nails.
She was super friendly and accommodating (I got lucky and booked a same day appointment.)
She has a great selection of colors and my nails look natural just like I wanted.
You will not be disappointed!

New to the area I turned to Unilocal and found Nancy. After reading the reviews I booked an appointment with Nancy for acrylic fill and pedi. I’m pretty picky with how I like my acrylic nails shaped. She did exactly what I asked for. A fabulous job. Jenny did a great job on my pedi. Both are genuinely friendly gals and make you feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be back for my next fill.

Nancy was very nice, very friendly. She also has a wide color selection to choose from. When you go just remember to go through the Salon to the back if you come in off of the street or in through the back parking lot. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it’s a little cluttered inside. She must have zero storage in this small space, so there’s stuff shoved and popping out everywhere. It just made me a little antsy.

I have found my nail salon! I live about 20 minutes away, but I don’t mind the drive because Nancy is by far the most talented nail artist I’ve ever been to. I say artist because her work is really an art. She is so meticulous and never compromises quality. Service is by appointment which makes life so much easier, and her and Jenny have a great system worked out.
Nancy really takes care of her clients and provides the best quality work I’ve ever seen!

The ladies are super sweet and definitely take pride in their work. I got fills and pedi. I will be back. Very clean and peaceful environment

I’ve had manis and pedis all over the country, Jenny at Nancy’s at Jubilee is the most wonderful manicurist. This by far the best nail parlor anywhere! My time there is relaxing and enjoyable. There is not the usual hustle and bustle as in other LA salons! I highly recommend making an appointment soon!

Nancy shapes the BEST acrylics anywhere. She is always gentle, knows exactly what I want, and sometimes when I need it most, she pushes me to try a new color or shape. I am always 100% pleased with her work. I’ve been a devote customer for 2 years now and I can’t imagine going anywhere else to get my nails done! She is simply the best.

I have been going to Nancy’s since the Fall of 2015 and have become a regular. Month by month, I make my appointments — a month in advance. Don’t make the mistake of waiting or you will have to wait some more. She and Jenny are booked weeks at a time.
What makes them good at what they do is their team work (one does mani and the other, pedi) and time management. But most of all, Nancy is thorough and consistent with providing excellent and lasting gel manicures. My tips never fade and one of my little things I like to do is looking at my lovely nails and feeling feminine and pretty, as I am sometime rough and dirty –I assist with little league baseball for two of my boys.
Give Nancy and Jenny a try and you won’t regret it!

Ok so this review is over due I’ve been coming to Nancy and Jenny for about 1 yr. and I’ve always had a good experience I like the fact tht it’s not typical nail salon I hate those and you get good work my gel last over 2 wks and my pedi is alway s good! There’s one thing I don’t like about the gel mani part Nancy likes to use the drill to take gel off and file nails she states the drill she uses is for natural nails but I think natural nails don’t need a drill thts my only small nic with going to her now it’s nothing I haven’t said to her face I’m very, very particular on who does my nails and HOW they are done! So I’m being honest b/​c I like my review to be honest so other than the drill issue Nancy is pretty good and always tries to make you happy!
If she would loose the drill for Naturals nails and find a more modern way of taking gel polish off she would get my 5 stars!

Nancy and Jenny are the best in town. No doubt!
They are hard workers who are booked ALL the time but they interact with each customer with great care. They both take the job seriously and won’t let you leave unless they’ve done a job they’re proud of. Very diligent, hard working and kind women those two!
Additionally, since I’ve been going there every three weeks or so for a while now, we also talk about life and work in general. Nancy is like a full on therapist. Very supportive in every way and super fun to talk to! Jenny is great with her hands, love the massage she gives me every time (just the right pressure at right points) and never fails to make me laugh! Seriously, the best experience ever!

Damn why am I the one to give this place a 3 star when all I see are mostly 5 stars??? I was trying to book an appointment with Nancy for a few weeks now. And I was so excited to finally come try it out! Just like the other reviewers said… it’s very peaceful in there and you do feel exclusive because you need an appt. It’s very cozy and quaint. I walked in and although there aren’t many polish colors, they are really trendy/​pretty! I couldn’t decide! I got my spa pedicure done by Lily I think her name was. She was very gentle but not thorough. It wasn’t super fast but it just wasn’t how I like it (really putting in the effort when taking off cuticle and callous scrub). She didn’t give a lot of pressure on my foot massage neither. It was just a rubbing motion. My polish came out really nice though. It was my first time here and I did not know that Nancy does not do designs. But I begged her to do this one simple design for my bachlorette party and she did agree but warned me she’s not good at all. I told her its okay, I’m not picky, I promise! But I did end up fixing the design myself. And it actually turned out cute and I really appreciated her efforts. She told me not to post the pic, so I won’t out of respect. After I left, I found uneven polish lines by my cuticle. Ugh! Overall, I’m happy I finally got to try this place out. But, there’s so many other places that does a better job with designs, paint jobs and massages. I really wanted to like this place! But it wasn’t good enough for me to return. It wasn’t the worst and it wasn’t the best. You 5 stars reviewers can keep this place. Oh btw… it’s cash only!

So glad I checked Unilocal.Nancy was Awesome. I went in for a full set French Tip. She took her time and somehow know just the right length I want. I make jewelry for a living and can’t have my nails too long. She cut the length short enough but still look fabulous. LOVE IT.

By far THE BEST nail salon in Pasadena!!! I have gone to many salons in search of a location which is friendly, not rushed, but most importantly clean and sanitary… and this salon has far exceeded those expectations! Jenny and Nancy are super sweet and funny, they are very attentive to your needs, and are very patient and gentle when doing your nails! I love that they do not overbook clients to ensure the quality of their work (definitely a plus!) If I could give them more stars then I definitely would! Love this place! :)

Nancy was so nice and did a great job on my nails.
I don’t usually get regular manicures (I either do gel or do normal polish at home) because it chips off so fast. My nails look like they are gel and they haven’t chipped at all!
Price was great, location is easy to find (with a parking lot), and the ladies were very friendly. I don’t live in Pasadena, but if I am in the are again and need a manicure I will go back! I would reccomend Nancy to anyone.

I needed to find a new manicurist in Pasadena. I came across the Unilocal reviews for Nancy and Jenny. I’m very happy I decided to get them done at their nail salon. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere, look no more. It is not like the other nail salons that are hustling and bustling… the gel manicure and pedicure are top notch! Feels like you are in a exclusive salon. They are both very sweet and meticulous with their work. Thank you Nancy and Jenny! I’ll see you both in a few weeks. :)

I am so glad I found this place! I’ve tried different places in Pasadena and haven’t really found a place I can commit to, until now that is. Jenni took me in and did a lovely job on my nails. She did a pedicure and gel manicure. Jenni was detailed with her work and did not rush.
This shop is appointment only which gives you the exclusive feel. I hate going to shops where you make appointments but you still wait or the manicurist jumps around.
Oh and price was great! $ 48 for pedicure and gel manicure.
I will definitely come back! Thanks Jenni…

Nancy did a fantastic job on my nails.
Location: this is located in the back of Jubilee Salon. Jubilee Salon is squeezed between two businesses. There were a couple of spots up front, but the lot is located behind the building which isn’t accessible from Lake. You can cut through grocery store parking lot next door to get to Mentor to enter the lot.
I had called to make an appointment, the day before. I arrived a few minutes early. I keep it simple when it comes to my nails. I want nothing more than a basic mani & pedi. I like the nail shape rounded (there have been times I have had to argue that I don’t like square). In fact, I usually arrive with my nails already shaped, I just need them to clean it up.
Nancy did exactly what I wanted and was meticulous. Perfect. Plus, she did my mani first to ensure that they were dry, prior to leaving. THANK YOU! This is one of my pet peeves with salons. Its been several days and my nails still look great.
Nancy was friendly. Bonus, salon had reality shows to watch while getting my nails done. Nice!
Definitely call to make a reservation because her phone rang at least 4 times, while I was sitting there. Finally, basic mani/​pedi was $ 30, Cash Only.

Can’t praise these two women enough. Both Nancy and Jenny do phenomenal, detailed and most importantly of all, GENTLE work. I can’t tell you how many manicurists I’ve been to where they’ve cut me, buffed my cuticles raw, and afterwards when I remove the polish, I notice that they’ve broken my nails etc… Well not these two :) My nails always look and feel perfect after a visit to them. Also, they’re very reasonably priced. A mani/​pedi will cost you 30 $ compared to other salons that charge 10 $ more for much poorer quality work. I’ve found my manicurist (s) and I won’t go anywhere else!
*** Be sure to make an appointment! They book up FAST and do not take walk-​ins. Also, CASH ONLY

This is the best place I found for mani– and pedi-​!! There are just Nancy and I believe the other girl was Jenny. Nancy works on mani and Jenny works on pedi.
They are sooooooo efficient!!! They have my gel mani and regular pedi done within an hour. the color stays great and the price is really good. Since they are so efficient, you;d better call to make appointment ahead of time. I don’t think you can just walk in and get your work done without good luck! So plan ahead!
My pedi was not fully dry by the time I left. So they gave me a pair of sandal for me to wear and wait till them dry. So considerate! I will come back.
