Color Nail Spa

Went here a few days ago. Staff was nice, however, def the worst gel manicure I’ve had. Not returning.

This place has such bad customer service, they did such a bad job on my mani and pedi not to mention there were only two people getting our nails done and the lady next to me was also very bothered with the work she was getting done. Did I mention expensive?! I will never go here again. I was beyond disappointed.

Was completely disappointed in this visit. Color Nail Spa has always been my go-​to salon. Always had a set price I paid. Acrylics, $ 15 w/​o gel. Pedi, $ 17. I go in today with my friend, I got charged $ 47, that’s not including the tip yet. My friend just got a full set, no gel, $ 22.
My pedicure was worst pedicure that I’ve ever had. It was about 20 minutes and she skipped half the regular pedi routines. In this 20 minutes, my lady horrible clipped my nails, lathered lotion on my legs, and scrubbed my feet the rest of the time. It’s like she was trying to get it over and done with or make it seem like she was doing something. The salon was almost completely empty and she rushed the whole thing.
My friends set was totally crooked.
I can’t complain about my set too much other than Kim (owner) getting irritated that I asked if she could fix the paint on my one nail.
I don’t understand the extreme price increase that I wasn’t told about that happened during the last 3 weeks of me not being there. I don’t get it.
Extremely disappointed Color Nail Spa.
I will be looking at a new salon.

This was my first time here, and at first I wasn’t sure what to think about it, after reading the Google reviews. I came here because it’s a block away from me, so considering that I’m that close, I figured why not.
I walked in and it seemed like I was the first customer of the day. I wasnt welcomed in warmly as I’d hoped, but they did acknowledge and seat me fairly quickly. The staff is professional, quiet and they do keep a tidy facility going.
The lady who gave me a pedicure was really good, actually. She was generous with her massage and callus remover treatment. She didn’t half ass anything. She knew how to massage my feet and legs, providing me a relaxing treatment. I tried to talk to her and get to know her; she seemed pretty friendly. I recommend her to newcomers since I’m sure she’ll provide them a relaxing and quality pedicure treatment, as well. Her name is Chi. I don’t know if I will come back here, because I know a place that is a lot more affordable, with the same, quality treatment.

Everytime I come here I have never had to wait. The services are pretty simple. I only get a pedicure done and it’s always $ 22 with a leg oil massage. This place is not a fancy nail salon. Just your typical low budget, you get what you pay for. I gave this place a 4 only because the equipment here is old and the suction that sucks the old water out had a broken cover and sucked my toes in a few times. Otherwise, staff is great and ran by asians.

Came in on a Saturday to have mani pedi. Bad experience. Quality was poor. Kept having to ask them touch up after they left entire parts of nail bare. Bad attitude. Won’t be back.

So, I’m here at 6:15/20 pm, the salon is locked, and nobody is answering the phone number provided. I won’t be back…

I travel all the way from Beverly Hills to Orange County just to get my nails done here! Compared to the salons in BH, the service here is amazing! I always come in with a picture of how I’d like my gel manicure done and they are always on point! The prices are unbeatable!

I’ve been coming to Color Nail off and on since it opened as it is fairly close to home, more lately because my favorite gal at my other go-​to nail salon left and her replacement does a less than great job.
I usually get the regular mani/​pedi, but lately have been getting gel manicure because it lasts 3 weeks. I don’t do acrylics so I cannot speak to that. I try to go in early during the week so I don’t have to wait, and never on a Saturday because they’re always packed and the wait can be long. Another advantage to going on off days and hours (not Fridays/​Saturdays) is that if no one is waiting, the tech isn’t rushed. I like to talk with whoever is working on me, and since I like watching the foreign soap operas they have on the TV, it gives us something to talk about. Maybe it’s because I treat these women better than others I’ve seen (and I’ve seen some pretty embarrassing behavior from women in the chair), I always walk out happy.
I have zero complaints about this place except I wish they would put another flatscreen on the wall directly across from the spa chairs. The ladies are always friendly and always do a great job. I do bring my own high quality polish (except the gel) and quick-​dry top coat, but they seem to have a decent selection of colors.

So lately i’ve been into getting my nails done, and me and my friend have been trying out different nail places. I had been here once before and got a pedicure which was pretty nice so when I had the option to come back once again i decided why not. I had acrylics already so i was just going in for a fill and a pedicure. I wasn’t waiting long before they called me over to start on my toes. The lady was nice she didn’t speak english well, (none of them did) but i’m use to that so it wasn’t a problem, she did give a good foot massage, and was done with my toes in 10 mins. BUT THEN when i got my nails filled it took a turn for the worse. first of all the lady was very rude to start off with, using that buffering mechanical tool (i dont know what its called) she began buffing my nails and she was getting really close to my skin she burned my skin a few times and one time she cut the edge of my skin i jumped and she just looked up at me and apologized very unsincerely. I made it clear to her that i did not want to change the length of my nails, yet she started to file them down and now none of nails are even. one is actually angled and lopsided. she overpainted my nails and over all they just look aweful. never coming here again.

I walked in well over an hour before closing time on a Tuesday evening looking for a gel polish change. When I walked in, I was just stared at for several minutes and no one acknowledged me.
After a couple minutes of the workers talking amongst themselves, finally someone comes up to me and doesn’t ask what I wanted, just that they are very busy.
So I asked for a gel polish change and she said that they are too busy and stared at me. So I walked out in disbelief that they would be like that. What kind of customer service is that?
While I was in the parking lot looking up and calling other nail places, a woman that was sitting in the chairs waiting for service when I was there walked out too. It didn’t look like she got her nails done there either.
I would not even consider going back to this place based on that service!

In dire need of a manicure (the previous one I got a week ago had already chipped to the point of tacky). Presently I am on the hunt for the perfect nail salon the last two destinations on the quest though promising did not live up to my expectations and needs. I’m very trendy and hip anyways I stopped at colors nail spa around 5:30 didn’t get seen until 6 they were busy, The color selection was okay could be better. Bonus points were gained by how friendly the nail tech was, I didn’t catch her name but she sits at the first station, she was very friendly and held a conversation with me the entire time and because of that I give this location 3 Stars. She did a great job the manicure came to $ 12 and I left $ 3 tip. The parking situation is a bit arduous and those who drive through are careless so be cautious when parking and leaving the lot. I didn’t give more points because other nail tech held conversations across the room in Viet which can be off putting when you are receiving a service and have no idea what gossip these women are shouting. Also it was hot in there like no air status when I was waiting my turn. Overall thy did a good job but I love to get Designs and they didnt have any cool hip designs.

I use to come to this place for years till one day, some other woman did my nails verses my normal lady. I was skeptical from the minute she started my manicure (didn’t have acrylics at the time, my nails were super healthy and thick) and she started sanding versus just used polish remover. I kept asking her for polish remover and all she would do was nod and mumble and she kept sanding. In less than 5 minutes she had destroyed my beautiful thick nails, and left wavy, paper thin, ripped up, thin little sheets :(I pulled my hand back and to her I wasn’t paying — and they had the nerve to ask me to pay ?! For what? Sanding my nails down to crap? She’s lucky I didn’t freak out in the store …

oh and by the way, I called the manager, Kim, the next day to inform her of what happened. and just found out, the girl’s name is NOT Jessica. ugh! she lied about her name.

I have been going to this nail salon for 5 years and I would recommend it highly. I get a lot of compliments on my nails. The staff is professional and friendly. I like that I can get a pedicure and get my nails done in the same chair. I always ask for a crazy design on my nails and I’m never disappointed.

Went in for a last minute mani/​pedi on a Friday night. My nail polish started peeling (not chipping, literally PEELING) off my nails the very next morning (Saturday). I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that Sunday, and didn’t have time to go back and have them fix it. I ended up doing my best to match it and painted my nails myself.
Service here is TERRIBLE. While there is a language barrier at most nail salons I visit, I do my best to be friendly with the staff and at least say hello and acknowledge their existence and hard work. I would try to say «Hello. How’s your day?» to the ladies working on my nails, and they wouldn’t even look at me or acknowledge that I was there. It was so rude, and kind of disturbing. They just kept staring at other walls in the salon and loudly talking to each other across the salon. They didn’t ask if the water was too hot (it wasn’t by the way, it felt ice cold), and didn’t even check to make sure I had the massage chair remote. The only thing I remember them asking was, «Which color?» and «Callous remover?».
While getting my pedicure, I noticed the design on my manicurist’s toes and asked the woman working on my feet if she could do that same design. She told me it would cost $ 4 extra and I agreed that was fine. When we finally got to the painting of my toes, she was having some issues executing the design. She ended up having to paint my toe 3 different times, and the design still came out terrible. When I first referenced the design on my manicurist’s toes, she told me that she had done it herself. So when the other woman was clearly having a hard time executing the design, it was strange to me that instead of choosing to help her — she stood there with the other ladies pointing and laughing at my toes. I wanted to tell the woman to forget the design completely, but every time I said, «It’ ok…», she just ignored me and kept talking and laughing with the other women. There were never less than 4 women leaning around me, talking with the nail technicians who were working on my nails. It was so strange to be ignored like that while I was the paying customer.
I don’t remember prices here being anything out of ordinary. But honestly, after the service I encountered, paying $ 5 would have been too much. I left their feeling bullied and with awful nails.
If you still decide to give this place a try… know that they charge a $ 1 service fee for using a credit/​debit card. You also can’t add a tip to card transactions so make sure you bring some cash.

The workers are pretty nice. I’ve gone here a couple times since I live by the salon. In my opinion the quality of their acrylic nails aren’t that great, I’ve had better quality.

Stopped by there today. Wanted a pedi to mark the end of a fabulous day. They got me in right away which was nice. The plushed out massage chairs were wonderful!
The girl doing my pedi… not so much. I ask for a design, becuz I’m just cute like that. Lol. My «spidey senses» began to tingle when she didn’t ask me which design I wanted. I was in great spirits so I figured I would just watch to see what would happen next. BIG MISTAKE! I was half expecting the super ghetto zebra stripes with funky colors and such (which I HATE!) but noooooooooooo! She puts the biggest, ugliest friggin heart on my toenail that I ever saw. It was the ugliest, most basic, ratchet, raggedy design I’ve ever seen. Three words: I’m over it.
I was DONE. Just that quickly. I am usually one who will tip for good service. My only tip for her was, MOVE BISH, GET OUT THE WAY!!! GET OUT THE WAYY! GET OUT THE WAYYYYYY!!!
It was horrible. I will never go there again. I guess my toes belong in Long Beach, because they always do me right. Thumbs down for me because I can’t tell you the name of ‘my’ spot in the LBC… but I can tell ya it’s on Market & Atlantic in the Popeye’s strip mall. SMH. Don’t bother going to Color nail spa.
Pure ridiculousness. :P

Rushed and overpriced; couldn’t believe what a horrible job my nail tech did. And it wasn’t even busy. I had to ask her to redo a nail that had not only had obvious lint on it but also didn’t coat the entire nail. Her reaction? Rolled her eyes back, said something in what I assume to be VIetnamese, and didn’t even attempt to hold back her irritation that she had to redo a job.
NEVER again; there are just way too many nail salons to go to other than this place.

Oh, Color Nail Spa! The girls took a trip to this place since the other nail salon we visited nearby wasn’t impressive. After having our toes done here, it might have been a better idea to go back to the other joint we already tried. SMH
Yes, the girls were kind but lacked any real skill or salon essence… if you will! I’m use to places that are a little more upbeat and have ladies (& gents) that can kill in the nail art department. I’m sure they have more designs up their sleeves besides the two nail wheels they have as examples, but they aren’t really confident in themselves to make an effort. Who knows! Here’s how our experience went:
We walked in with two girls and asked for a pedicure, a fill, and two separate waxes. Our #3 was in the beauty shop next door while we got our services lined up for the three of us. I received my waxing while the other started on her pedi. So far so good. When I got done our last party member came in and got started on her wax as well. While she was getting that done we explained to the lady that she is VERY particular with her design and we tried to explain what we wanted with little inspirational help from the ladies working. You’d think they weren’t working for any tip because we just got blank faces and «we just do standard designs.» Long story short, they missed out on a chance to do a fill and extensive design work. Gosh, it seemed like such a burden to ask a nail salon to do a nice nail design. Sheesh!
The lady that did my nieces toes suddenly decided to be an artist and insisted that she get zebra print throughout all her toes which ended up looking like a hot mess. Ten minutes later we told her to tone it down but she wasn’t very happy about it. Anyway, they’re also pretty expensive. Two pedicures, two brows, & lip cost us nearly $ 100 (including $ 15 tip they hardly deserved). We usually have full sets, pedi’s, and awesome nail art for the same price in the hood.
On to the next salon!

Ps– I forgot to mention that my pedi was the worse I ever had. The girl «only does pedicures.» Are you even qualified to do this? She was literally just playing with my cuticles with the tool. I wish I got her name, sorry ladies! I also asked her to do a design that she’s an expert @ and she only lined my french tip with black. Another lady even came up to us and said, «no design??» :rolls eyes:
