Dashing Diva

Shame on the owners – they didn’t pay their employees before they abruptly closed. Tina, Mimi, Joyce and Judy can be found at Bellacures Pasadena.

I just got my mother a gift card from this place for Christmas and now they are closed so we lost money… If there is another location or the owner is on here please contact me as you took $ 50 of ours and closed shortly after. Seems unethical to me.

I’m so sad this placed closed. I just saw the notice today. I was walking over after having my eyebrows done and and realized they closed the business down. Perhaps they would consider opening in Altadena. Better rent rates for businesses…

Does anyone have recommendations on where to go now? This was a good salon and every technician did a very good job. Looks like we need to search again for another location. Any ideas?

Is this place closed permanently? Called the last few days and no answer. Even walked by and there are lights on but no ones there and there’s no sign or anything with info.

Has the business been closed? I had an appointment last Friday and place was closed. Tried calling and no answer. Any info? Thanks

Um… Yeah…
Not really sure where to begin. Let me start by saying this, the décor I’m sure at one point was über fabulous. I must reiterate, at ONE point was über fabulous.
Walking into Dashing Diva I was met by a very friendly receptionist, she was great! I was with a party of four and we didn’t have an appointment but the receptionist made room for us. Loved that!
Nail Technician Nicotina was great! She did an AWESOME job on my friend’s nails!
Now…To the untrained eye, this place would appear to be very clean because of the décor, but no. Sad to say, this place needs a good DEEP CLEANING. There were spiderwebs hanging from the lights, the sinks were dingy and dirty and the workstation I was at had a years worth of dust on it. I literally cringed the whole time I was there. I’m sorry, I could NEVER go back there. I am extremely particular when it comes to cleanliness, this will not work for me.
I give the receptionist and Nicotina 5 stars! Sadly I must give this business one star…

My Nail tech was great, Nicotina. She was just amaze! My nails were great as well. I recommend making an appointment with her.

Great place! I love Sophie she’s nice, professional and she did a great job on my nails.

The 5-​stars is really for my girl, Ann. I’ve been getting my manicures with her for close to a decade (!!!) now and she never disappoints. She consistently does a great job, and my gel manicures always last at least 2 weeks, and sometimes even 3 – 4. I’ve had her do regular mani’s, virtual nails and gels, and she does a perfect job with all of them. I haven’t found another manicurist who can do better. Can’t speak for the other ladies there, but if you want a great manicure, ask for Ann.

The atmosphere was great and the staff was very welcoming. I went in for a mani pedi late on a Friday night; right after work and was in & out in about an hour. I even had time to enjoy happy hour (perfect Cosmo). Just wish there were more nail polish brands to choose from.

When I first went to Dashing Diva, I was really pleased with my experience. I love that they use disposable manicure and pedicure tools and the salon itself is very pristine. However, after I became a regular there, I noticed that their services are overpriced and inconsistent.
My gel manicures always chip after a week (a week and a half at best.) Many of their staff seems inexperienced and rushed. For $ 35, not including tip, it’s not worth it.

I’ve been pretty loyal to Dashing Diva and I just have to say that I’ve been very disappointed the last times I have gone in. First, the place needs to be cleaned. The towels are all stained and the shop itself has definitely seen better days. Secondly, its overpriced for what they do. Why is a gel manicure $ 45 here when its $ 25 or $ 30 elsewhere? Also, not many colors of the gel to choose from. Thirdly, the customer service could be better. I came in on a Thursday and all the ladies that work there were doing each other’s nails and gossiping. They let the phone ring 4 or 5 times before answering and I was the only customer there!
Pros of the place: on Friday and Saturday night they give you free martinis (girly and sugary and light on the booze, but still). The ladies that work there are also very nice.

I feel neutral about this place. I like that they are opened till 9pm on Thursday and Friday and they also serve complimentary cosmos. The salon looks very nice and the receptionist has good customer service. The nail techs aren’t as polite and are super rushed causing them not to apply the nail polish right on my nails. I ended paying $ 50 for a super basic quick mani and pedi when I could have paid $ 25 elsewhere for that same service or maybe even better. I was rushed out of there since it was getting close to closing and I ended ruining the polish and 3 of the nails. If I decide to go back there I would go in the the morning.
