About

Yumite is a woman-owned nail studio and spa in Pasadena. Its services are inspired by Japanese minimalism and mindful beauty, and the studio describes itself as a quiet, confidential space rather than a typical nail salon. Clients can bring a laptop and work during their appointment.

The menu covers manicures in several gel formats, including Gel X, Builder Gel, and Pure Japanese Gel, which the studio notes is vegan. Every manicure includes nail shaping, a soak, cuticle care, and massage, and the studio recommends dry manicures for gel services, with a wet manicure with soak available on request. Pedicures follow the same pattern and add scrub and a hot towel, and gel pedicures are offered for longer-lasting wear.

For clients who want more than a standard visit, the Omakase Package adds a warm hand soak, exfoliation, extended massage, and a paraffin wax treatment to a classic manicure. Nail Rescue is a gentle gel removal manicure for clients removing existing gel or extensions; it includes a natural nail assessment, light buffing, shaping, cuticle care, and a take-home Rescue Aftercare Oil. It does not include polish, though optional finishes are available.

Nail art starts at $30, and pricing depends on complexity. Clients are asked to leave a note at booking with any specific design requests. The kids' menu, for guests under 12, covers polish changes, mini manicures, pedicures, and a combined manicure and pedicure.

The spa menu includes a callous treatment, hand and foot care packages that use Ojai Sugar for exfoliation along with masks, massage, and lotions (with vegan options), and a personalized Omakase Spa Experience. The studio describes its products as non-toxic and cruelty-free.

Booking policies: changes should be made at least two days before the appointment, and a 50% fee applies to cancellations or reschedules made less than 48 hours ahead. Arriving 15 minutes late may result in the appointment being cancelled, and a no-show is charged 50% of the booked service.

Services are built around Japanese minimalism and mindful beauty, and the studio describes its products as non-toxic and cruelty-free.

A quiet, private studio that the owner describes as more confidential than a typical nail salon.
