Tan J Nails Spa

I was looking for a nail salon open past 7 in the Pasadena area (because I was working late and had an important meeting the next day). I found this place and gave them a call because they were open until 8pm. They were very nice over the phone and told me to come on in.
When I arrived there was a bit of a wait and all techs were busy with customers. They asked me to wait in one of the free chairs which was no problem because it gave me an opportunity to watch how the techs interacted with the customers. What I saw was nothing but great things. Techs were friendly and helpful. One person who appeared to be a manager was walking around handing out candy. It was a very relaxed and friendly environment.
On to the service: I asked for a mani-​pedi to get me meeting ready. The lady that worked on me was very attentive and efficient in the manner in which she operated. I didn’t feel like the process took forever as is the case at other places I have visited in the past nor did I feel like it was to short. Another thing that I really liked was the fact that there was no high pressure up selling of services.
Overall the prices were exceptionally reasonable, the service was great, the staff was friendly, and the place is open until 8pm. No complaints!

Have driven by this place so many times, so today I tried it… Let me say that Ling did my toes, and she is AMAZING!!! I will go back only to her…

Clean and organized nail salon. Everyone is friendly and greets you upon arrival. Love Jimmy (perfectionist) for pedicures and Tom for acrylics. I am extremely particular about having the most natural looking nails and Tom has the eye and skill to accomplish that.

What a great nail salon! They’re really friendly and they’re impeccable with the polish. I’m so psyched I live close to this spot.

I have to say, I’ve been a religious goer to a nail salon on north Lake in altadena. I always went to one specific person (Sonny) and he never let me down. I would find pictures on Pinterest of nail designs and Sonny did it spot on with the picture every time. Unfortunately he left which sucked because I lived one block away from that nail salon. Now he’s at this salon and again, he never failed. I made an appointment for 10:30 and even though I still had to wait a little bit, I was fine because he’s worth the wait! I will follow him to whatever sale salon he goes to! I don’t mind driving an extra 5 mins and dealing with the traffic of Lake Ave to get my nails done by him! Thank you Sonny for doing such a wonderful job every time :)

First time in this new wonderful neighborhood place. The place is SOLID: Clean, great massage chairs, friendly staff. My new favorite place to go!

Ana, Tony & Cindy are the best! I will follow them everywhere. The new place is beautiful, way bigger than the old shop in Altadena and parking is good.
