Colorful Nails

For the holidays my boss gave the girls a $ 30 gift certificates to Colorful Nails cause it’s just a flew plazas over. Decided to go check it out & I will most definitely be going back in two weeks for my fill! The gentlemen who worked on my acrylics & design did a fabulous job!

I’ve been getting my nails done for years. I just moved here from California so I have to find a new place to become a regular at. This place is near my house so I chose to give it a try. I was tended to right away after I signed in. She walked me the last chair and asked if I had been there before, I said no. The lady pulled a man from the back to do my pink and whites.
First of all he did a great job. Took his time and filed and filed my nails down. Then applied pink and left it too long so it stuck on. At this point I was worried. Like I’ve said I’ve been doing this for years, some places do the white first or last either way they never let the powder dry!
Long story short the guy did well, but took over an hour to get done. And he didn’t cut me so that’s a plus.

Danny is a magician! He is very attentive to details and did an amazing job around the cuticles. He got the polish right up to the edge (unlike some salons that leave a gap) and was interesting to talk to. Highly recommend!

It’s been about 2 weeks since I went there and I have to say that my nails still looking amazing. I got there about 630 pm when I went and there the took me right away, I sat down at 6 and the lady right away starting doing my nails. I felt comfortable she was very nice the place was clean and there was a movie playing. So I got totally lost in the movie and then after I notice starting to file the extra aryclic off the nails looked like they were going or flying straight up, not natural at all. Which I’m very picky about where I go do my nails and because my nails where looking crazy I said something and it’s like she only made it worst. So she then went to the last guy that was was and he basically did had to do then all over putting aryclic all over again filing them down, and now there basically super thick but they look great. If it wasn’t for him I probably would have walked right out. I recommend this place but I would only go to the guy in the chair number 2. And then after all that was said and done he airbrushed my french line and I loved it. I’m debating whether to return or not, but probably most likely because if I would have went to the guy in the second chair from the beginning I believe i wouldn’t have had a bad experience.

I called this place to see what time they open and they said 11:00. Ok, great (it was 10:30). I said I will see you a little after 11, and they said yes, come right in”. Their location was different from what I thought it was so I called. I was on the phone for 2 – 3 minutes before anyone could tell me where they were! They had to hand the phone over to one of their customers to tell me!!! Anyway, I get there and it’s approx. 11:10. When my daughter and I walk in, all the seats are full and one lady asks «can I help you?» I laughed and said yes we are hear for a pedi and mani. The staff all look at each other as if they have no idea what I am talking about, then one guy yells «we are busy right now!» So rude!!! I was really annoyed! I told him «I can see that, but you told me you open at 11 and to on in!» He said «You’re late! You should have been here at 11!!» I repeated what was said on the phone when I first called and said I didn’t have an appointment!!! And that they should have told me I should make an appointment. I was soooo mad and they were so rude!!! Mind you, I have never been to this place before. The rudeness I got when I arrived was very unprofessional and I will never step foot in that place again!!! And I didn’t even get anything done!!! My rating? NO STARS!!!

I decided to get a pedicure there and ended up with a raging infection in my toe that required 2 trips to the urgent care and then ultimately the doctor had to remove my nail. I would avoid this place.

I have been having my nails done and pedicures regularly for 20 years. I have lived in a few states so I have frequented many shops. None have compared to colorful nails. They are truly clean!!! The staff is super friendly! They really do fabulous work and they do whatever it takes to be sure you’re happy. No one does gel as good as Danny, seriously. Prices are fair. I moved a year ago and I am now a little over an hour away. I tried 4 other shops and ended up back here. I now drive to get the best. They do accept credit card, bring cash to tip (generously, as they deserve it). They take walk ins but if you want a particular person make an appointment.
I honestly think the 2 negative reviews are confusing them with the shop in the plaza next to them. I have never seen a cleaner nail salon and I have never seen a child in this shop. There is also no guy supervising. The manager is a women.

I have gone to colorful nails for quit sometime and never had any problems until one of the ladies who does the pedicures had some kind of fungus on her hands and some how I now have fungus thanks to her I need to take medication to treat it. I will NEVER give colorful nails any of my business. I will inform all my family and friends who go there not to bother due to lack of cleanliness. So disappointed!!!

I used to really like this place. The last time I went in, there was a guy walking around like a policeman supervising. It was intimidating to me (the nail techs seemed on edge), and I felt like I was supporting a sweatshop. Cleanliness has declined, too.

I live in Wisconsin and make a point to stop here for a pedicure every time I am in town! They do an incredible job for a very reasonable price!

I went with a friend for our birthdays to get a mani-​pedi. My friend’s nail tech was great, mine was a little on the gruff side. He kept pushing me to get the next level up pedicure and then told me I didn’t pick a good color. He did a nice job on the mani-​pedi but his sales push turned me off. I’d go back again if I was sure I wasn’t going to get him again. Oh and there’s no spot on the credit card slip to leave a tip so if you want to leave at tip, bring some cash.

Never had a pedicure before but this was great! Just what my wife and I needed.
Bring cash for tips though, no ATM on site.

This place is definitely known for it’s nail treatments, not so much for waxing. If you want a good eyebrow wax, head over to Supercuts next door.
As far as the nail treatments, I have been seen and treated by several of the techs there, and they are all very good and do a wonderful job. The prices are also reasonable. Based on the above reviews, though, I will certainly be asking for Jessie the next time I go. :)

I went here for a pedi and fill. I wanted airbrush design on my nails as well. During the pedi I was all set to give this place a 5 star review. The man was nice (there are so many men working here), it was clean and the pedi was great. I figured he would do my fingernails too, so I told him I wanted an airbrush design. I could see all the samples behind the stations, so I was excited to take a closer look at them. The man that did my pedi started my fill. Once he got part way through it they switched and another man took over. I told the new person that I wanted a pink base with airbrush design. This man finished my fill and ANOTHER new person came to do my polish. I told him the same thing… I want a pink base and airbrush design on my nails. The man painted them pink, put on a topcoat, and then turned the little fans on to dry. He said ok you’re all set, that’s 57 total. At this point I was fed up with repeating myself, and I had the feeling that they didn’t really understand me anyway. Also it had taken them exactly THREE HOURS to do what they did– too long. Also, they filed around my nails so hard that I actually had spots that started to bleed. I also could not add the tip to my credit card slip– I had no cash on me so I had to write a check with my wet nails. I will not go here again.

I would recommend Jessie at Colorful Nails to anyone. She always makes my nails look fantastic. She goes above and beyond to ensure that I am pleased with the overall look of my nails. If you are looking for someone to make your nails look amazing go see her :)

wouldent go back
